 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.18.9] — 2026-06-20 — Coach surface, lab-report scanning, and fresher dashboards
+
+A broad UI and data release. It adds two migrations (both additive and nullable — qualitative lab results and Coach token columns) and three additive, back-compatible API changes (see the note below).
+
+### Added
+
+- Coach opens on a calm new-chat surface: a centred greeting and a single composer, then each answer streams in word by word with a soft fade, a collapsible thinking disclosure, and a quiet per-message footer showing the tokens used and the model. The quick-access drawer is unchanged.
+- Scan a paper lab report. With an AI provider connected, upload a photo or PDF and the reader proposes the measurements and biomarkers it finds. Every row goes through a mandatory review — confirm, edit, or discard each one, with duplicate and reference-range hints — and only what you confirm is saved. The uploaded file is held in memory for the read alone and is never stored.
+- Record a qualitative lab result — positive/negative or another text value — where a number does not apply.
+- Sort lab values alphabetically, and delete a biomarker directly from the labs list and detail views.
+- VO2max shows on the dashboard by default, and Oura's VO2max reading is now ingested alongside the existing sources.
+
+### Changed
+
+- The labs surface defaults to the list view, and its tiles share the medication-card layout. The labs and condition-journal settings now follow the same section pattern as the rest of Settings.
+- Preventive-care cards read the last-completed date as "today"/"yesterday" and the next due date as a discreet "today" (green) or "overdue" (orange), and drop the small trend strip.
+- Sleep-debt and chronotype sit side by side, and the daily-briefing card aligns with the surrounding type.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The dashboard reflects new readings without a hard refresh: an added or background-synced measurement now refreshes the home snapshot — including on Withings and Apple Health sync, and on returning to the tab.
+- The condition journal opens quickly again. The cross-episode correlation runs only when an entry's analysis is opened, and the typical-recovery-gap insight appears only when there is enough real data to support it.
+- The latest-report area shows its age and, when no AI provider is connected, points to where to connect one, instead of presenting an old report as current.
+- The Coach quick-access icon uses a softer tone.
+
+### API
+
+- The Coach stream's `done` frame now carries an optional token `usage`, and a Coach message can carry `tokensUsed` and `model`; an optional `reasoning` frame is reserved. New `GET/POST /api/labs/ocr/{capability,extract,commit}` endpoints; rows committed from a scan carry `source: "OCR"`. All additive and back-compatible.
+
 ## [1.18.8] — 2026-06-20 — coded condition and lab terminology in the health-record export
 
 An additive export-only release: the FHIR R4 health record now carries standard terminology codes where it can assert them honestly. No migration, no API contract change.

+ * The provider clients return the whole reply in one shot; the chat route
+ * re-chunks it into per-word `token` SSE frames (`tokeniseForStreaming`),
+ * so `content` grows as frames land. This component renders each
+ * whitespace segment as its own `<span>` that fades + drifts up on mount,
+ * giving the reply a "thinking out loud" cadence rather than a hard dump
+ * of word groups. Once the turn settles (`streaming === false`) the spans
+ * collapse to a single plain-text node — zero residual animation DOM, and
+ * the feedback / evidence layout underneath stays stable.
+ *
+ * Why no "only animate the new words" bookkeeping: each segment is keyed
+ * by its index, so when a fresh SSE frame appends words, React keeps the
+ * already-mounted spans (their CSS entrance already ran and does not
+ * replay on reconcile) and only MOUNTS the new trailing spans — which is
+ * exactly when the `animate-in` entrance fires. The browser does the
+ * "new words only" gating for us; no render-time ref is needed.
+ *
+ * CSP-safe: the entrance is Tailwind's `animate-in fade-in-0
+ * slide-in-from-bottom-1` (compiled utilities served from `'self'`) plus a
+ * per-span inline `animationDelay` / `animationDuration`. Inline `style`
+ * attributes are already permitted under the strict CSP
+ * (`style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'`); there is no runtime-injected
+ * `<style>` tag, no `dangerouslySetInnerHTML`, and no markdown library —
+ * the text renders as plain React children, the XSS-safe path the rest of
+ * the Coach uses.

+ * the `lab-loinc` and `illness-snomed` mappers.
+ *
+ * Concepts (SNOMED CT International, qualifier value, REFERENCED not
+ * redistributed per the licence):
+ *   - 260385009  "Negative"     — negativ / negative

+ *   - 260415000  "Not detected" — nicht nachweisbar / not detected
+ *   - 260373001  "Detected"     — nachweisbar / detected
+ *
+ * Borderline / grenzwertig is DELIBERATELY left text-only: the candidate
