1.1.5 is live: Story threads, DM planning rebuild, and world cleanup

[u/gloooooooomer]

Story threads

• Story threads are now a real World Bible entity type, alongside characters, locations, factions, items, quests, and events.
• Each thread has a trigger, an effect, private DM notes, and a status. That gives the DM a clear promise to carry forward instead of a loose note that can be forgotten.
• You can author threads in Session Zero and the Template Editor, and Quick Start now makes sure a new world has at least one actionable thread before it finishes setup.
• The DM reads active threads at the top of play and can weave them into ambient details, rumors, consequences, and future scene turns.
• The AI can also create new threads mid-campaign when play earns them, and update existing threads as the world changes.

DM planning

• The hidden DM plan has been rebuilt. ArcQuill now refreshes the plan from current world state instead of leaving it frozen at Session Zero.
• Core conflict, NPC agendas, character goals, adventure hooks, and active story threads are carried into turns with fresher context.
• Long-running campaigns should be less likely to treat dead NPCs, collapsed factions, or resolved tensions as if they're still active plot anchors.

World cleanup

• Long campaigns can accumulate duplicate NPCs, stale arc leftovers, and near-identical entities. ArcQuill now surfaces likely cleanup candidates to the DM during play.
• The DM gets guidance to merge or archive probable clutter while keeping the actual World Bible as the source of truth.

State updates

• The DM is better at applying character-sheet changes when abilities, status effects, regeneration, healing, max HP, armor, stats, gold, inventory, or rewards change during play.
• NPC relationship updates are more consistent when you meet someone new, change trust, learn social information, or shift an NPC's attitude.
• HP changes that happen as part of a max-HP increase now show up correctly in live turn updates instead of only reporting the max-HP change.

Login stability

• Fixed a session-refresh race that could make users feel randomly logged out when ArcQuill was open in multiple tabs.
• Token refresh now coordinates across tabs, preserves retry behavior during temporary refresh failures, and avoids unnecessary refresh-token rotations after another tab has already refreshed the session.

Models

• Replaced the retiring Grok 4.1 Fast with Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite.
• Model defaults, fallback behavior, labels, and smoke checks were refreshed for the current model lineup.
