ShoddyScan Updates

ShoddyScan is the diagnostics side of the ecosystem and is currently being shared through closed testing on alpha builds. The current notes track its move from foundation work into more reliable transport handling, safer MicroTune execution, clearer DTC failure behavior, stronger support tooling, and broader live-data support across Bluetooth and wired USB adapters.

Latest documented update: April 7, 2026.

Release timeline

This page reflects the documented milestones currently present in the site workspace.

April 7, 2026 - v1.0.4 (21) Alpha

Alpha release Build 21 Support and scan reliability
  • Added a dedicated Diagnostics and Support section in Setup.
  • Added an app-specific debug export with useful ShoddyScan session details for troubleshooting.
  • Expanded Credits and Support with clearer support guidance.
  • Improved DTC behavior so failed scans, clear-code failures, and freeze-frame read failures are shown explicitly instead of looking like empty clean results.
  • Added broader regression coverage for Live Data, Dashboard, Trends, MicroTune, Settings, and DTC handling.

This release is centered on easier support diagnosis and less misleading empty-state behavior during scan failures.

April 2, 2026 - v1.0.4 (20) Alpha

Alpha release Build 20 USB attach refresh
  • USB attach handling refresh.

April 1, 2026 - v1.0.4 (19) Alpha

Alpha release Build 19 MicroTune clarity
  • Cleaned up the protected workspace flow to make MicroTune easier to understand without relaxing its safety posture.
  • Kept high-risk tools behind the acknowledgement wall.
  • Added observe-only Adaptive Fuel Trim diagnostics with bounded rolling logs and internal storage.
  • Simplified the Flash Workspace so review, prep, and controls are clearer on tablet layouts.

March 30, 2026 - v1.0.4 (18) Alpha

Alpha release Build 18 Reliability and safety
