UniversitasAI — Monthly Progress Report
May 2026 · April 26 – May 22, 2026 · Sessions 123–148 · Prepared by the UniversitasAI Engineering Team
May 2026
Billing period: April 26 – May 22, 2026 · Sessions 123–148 · Short month: cut off ahead of Eid Al AdhaMonth Highlight
May was a shorter billing period — closed early on May 22 ahead of the Eid Al Adha break — but the breadth landed three new surfaces alongside the platform. ADSM Student, the native Android app, went from empty repo to release-signed, App-Link-verified build in four phases: Kotlin Multiplatform / Compose Multiplatform scaffold, then native Schedule / Grades / Finance / Messages / Course Detail / Settings / Registration screens, then deep links + biometric unlock + Crashlytics + offline cache, then release signing, accessibility pass, and Google + Microsoft OAuth (link-first model — sign-in only allowed for accounts that have explicitly associated their Google/Entra ID identity from Settings). Scheduling shipped as a standalone CP-SAT optimizer with its own dedicated Dean-focused portal at universitas.me/scheduling — ADSM faculty + AY 2026-27 cohorts seeded, Marc's flat-fee costing model (20k adjunct / 15k overload) built in. Management portal launched at universitas.me/management with the full strategic portfolio backbone (Goals → Strategic Objectives → Initiatives, framework-aware OBEF KPI bridge, AI initiative decomposition, employee skill profiles). The 9-role RBAC scheme (Dean / Registrar / Finance / Faculty / Support added) replaced the ADMIN wildcard, with separation of duties enforced. The Vault stakeholder file share moved from localStorage to a real backend-backed system with append-only audit log. The second patent provisional 64/053,198 (ANS / OBEF / Delphi) was formally filed on April 30. Production migration debt was closed in a 12-round OpenAPI sweep + schema-drift gate, restoring CI health. Demo sandbox added an ambient-activity heartbeat, Universal AI keyword routing, and a 10-stop guided tour. Six dean correspondence emails (#32–#37) archived.
ADSM Student — Native Android App (Phases A–D)
- FeaturePhase A — Scaffold — Kotlin Multiplatform / Compose Multiplatform skeleton, Gradle wrapper, backend device-registry endpoint, FCM device registration, splash screen, ADSM brand login, real JWT auth pipeline, biometric unlock on cold launch, auto-refresh on 401, dashboard.
- FeaturePhase B — Native screens — Schedule / Grades / Finance / Course Detail / Messages inbox + thread detail / Notifications / Forgot Password / Faculty dashboard. Tier-1 offline cache for student data. Tenant theming with backend repair. Brand-unified UI.
- FeaturePhase C — Polish — Native Registration screen, Settings / Profile screen, Course Detail with drill-through, deep links wired to the in-app navigator, Crashlytics + Analytics consent gate, dark-green hero + gold accent design pattern across every screen.
- FeaturePhase D — Release — Release signing (upload keystore + Play App Signing), App Link verification, accessibility pass, Google Sign-In OAuth (Firebase + Web client ID), Microsoft Entra ID OAuth via OIDC discovery + JWKS verification.
- SecurityLink-first social sign-in — Google / Microsoft accounts can only sign in if the user has explicitly associated them with their existing ADSM profile from Settings. No auto-create. 403 with friendly message if unlinked. Stored as
google_sub/microsoft_subcolumns with unique indices (migrations 141–142). - UXDemo guest tour — “Try as a guest student” CTA on the login screen; serves curated demo dashboard, curated inbox, native preview for quick-action tiles (no WebView fallback for the demo path).
- FeaturePush notifications — Firebase Admin SDK on the backend fan-outs notifications; mobile device-registry endpoint links FCM tokens to user accounts.
Scheduling — CP-SAT Optimizer + Dean Portal
- FeatureCP-SAT optimizer foundation — new planning tables (study plans, cohorts, faculty assignments, scheduling rules), REST endpoints, Celery task, DB loader. Soft-penalty slot-uniqueness constraints.
- FeatureStandalone
universitas.me/schedulingSWA — login-gated portal dedicated to scheduling. Calendar + by-instructor views, Dean-friendly labels (Faculty → Instructor, soften jargon), inline CRUD for cohorts, study plans, faculty, spec rules, run delete + clone-to-customise. - FeatureDean-focused dashboard redesign — top-3 wins hero, skeleton state on hero while runs query loads, At-a-glance banner on RunDetail (hybrid synthesis), plain-English metrics backfilled on existing runs.
- FeatureMarc's Group 1 (cost model) — flat-fee adjunct costing (20k AED / course) + overload teaching cost (15k AED / course) baked into the optimiser objective.
- FeatureADSM seed data — real faculty + study plans + AY 2026-27 cohorts seeded for ADSM. Look up faculty by email (not name) for deterministic seeding.
- InfraIn-process solver — bypass Celery for solver runs (async, sub-second on small cohorts).
- UXExtensive help system — tooltips on action buttons, contextual explanations, navigation fallback in staticwebapp.config.json.
Management — Strategic Portfolio Portal
- FeatureStandalone
universitas.me/managementSWA — v7 portfolio browser. Goals → Strategic Objectives → Initiatives backbone. Framework-aware navigation matching the Strategic Plan v7 structure. - AIAI initiative decomposition — Strategic Objective → suggested Initiatives → AI-suggested tasks with skill + resource requirements per task.
- AIEmployee skill profiles — inferred from interaction history, project tags, document authorship. Powers skill-gap and resource-gap reports.
- FeatureOBEF KPI bridge — Initiatives surface their related OBEF KPIs and current scores. Wave 1B data layer connects portfolio progress to compliance signal.
- FeatureDean-first redesign — Home, bulk ops, scorecard, decision banner — same Dean-focused thinking applied to scheduling carried over here.
- AI4 new scanners — register Management + Scheduling-optimizer as tools the autonomy mesh can call.
9-Role RBAC + Separation of Duties
- SecurityFive new roles — Dean, Registrar, Finance, Faculty, Support join Admin / Staff / Student / Applicant. Each role has its own
require_*()helper that admits the role plus admin (admin narrows organically over the rollout). - SecuritySeparation of duties enforced — Dean approves academic escalations + reads OBEF/governance, cannot touch finance writes; Finance owns accounting / procurement / payroll writes, cannot modify academic records; Registrar owns transcripts / graduation / government reports, cannot wire money; Support owns tickets / KB / conversations, cannot see financial PII.
- SecuritySphere-grant repair — seed users have their
allowed_sphere_agentsreset on every startup, so role promotions take effect immediately on aged tenants. Password reset paired with role promotion in the same seeder pass. - UXRole-aware default route —
getDefaultRoute(user)lands each role on the right page (Dean → Executive Briefing, Registrar → Students, Finance → Budget, Support → Support). Sidebar filtered viaisNavVisibleForRole. - FeatureSeeded test users —
dean@adsm.ac.ae(Marc Poulin),registrar@adsm.ac.ae,finance@adsm.ac.ae,support@adsm.ac.ae,faculty1/2@adsm.ac.ae— each with role-specific sphere grants.
Mission Control + Drill-Through Across Every Surface
- FeatureFinance snapshot Revenue card — cash P&L, AR aging, payroll preview. Demo-realistic payment plans (90% monthly / 9% semester / 1% upfront). Every cash receipt now co-posts a balanced journal entry so cash-basis dashboards read from one ledger.
- FeaturePriorities card — role-aware “what needs you right now” feed. Wires into Mission Control. View-as personas surface the same list filtered by role.
- FeatureAI Activity card — clickable tiles + sparkline + recent feed + top escalation. Mission Control cards click through; Approve actually approves.
- UXDrill-through pattern across 13 dashboards — every entity reference on a stat card or list row is now a link to the source. New AlertDetail and DocumentDetail pages. Audit / Student Detail / Registrations / Escalation refs / Tickets all deep-linkable.
- FeatureDetail drawer — clicks on list rows show the response inline (no more dead-end clicks).
- FeatureSidebar UX — collapse-by-default + role-aware Overview shortcuts, strong active pill + per-section domain dots, tooltips with keyboard-hint pill.
Vault, Telegram, Autonomy Upgrades
- FeatureVault stakeholder file share — replaced localStorage-only
vault.htmlwith a real backend-backed system. Separatevault_usersauth (audience-tagged Dean / Support / Developer / Buyer / Tilda-admin), encrypted file metadata, append-onlyvault_audit_logtracking event + actor + IP + user agent. Migrations 126–128. Must-change-password flow on first login. - FeatureTelegram Sales Bot (
@UniversitasSupport_bot) — public unauthenticated assistant for inbound sales. ~400 LOC canned responses + LLM fallback. Replaces the marketing-site WhatsApp contact CTA. - AIAdaptive auto-execute thresholds — autonomy now adjusts auto-execute confidence from outcome history. Wins move the threshold down; losses move it up.
- AITrust-region overrides — time-bounded auto-execute delegation (e.g. “auto-approve registrar tasks for the next 24h while the Registrar is on PTO”).
- AIScanner self-extension — autonomy mines its own escalation history for recurring patterns and proposes new scanners to cover them.
- AIMulti-step initiative executor — daily replan + notify loop for long-running initiatives.
- FeatureUniversal AI keyword routing — demo Ask-the-Dashboard now keyword-routes the question to the right SphereAgent instead of asking the user to pick.
Security, Compliance, Production Healing
- SecurityP0 security batch — auth gates, demo guards across every external-effect surface (email / SMS / WhatsApp / Telegram / Stripe / PayTabs / Adobe Sign / social / webhooks / HEDB), secret rotation, Stripe webhook idempotency (new
webhook_eventstable, migration 129). - SecurityTenant-scope sweep —
tenant_selectacross 6 repositories + tenant-scope counts across 24 endpoint files. Closed the cross-tenant leak class thattenant_selectmis-as-no-op when called without context. - SecurityJWT minimisation — refresh-token rotation; tokens contain only
sub,jti,role,tenant_id. User details fetched from DB on each request (no PII in claims). - CompliancePatent provisional #2 FILED — USPTO 64/053,198 on April 30 covering Agent Nervous System / OBEF compliance engine / Delphi multi-expert deliberation. Deadline for non-provisional / PCT now 2027-04-30. First filing 63/990,389 remains active.
- InfraMigration debt closed — 12-round OpenAPI sweep + schema-drift gate redirected to
drift_alembic. Migrations 112–124 are mostly schema-drift convergence rounds; 125 closes the create_all gap; 126–129 ship Vault + webhook events. Total: ~20 migrations during the period (110 → 130). - InfraSchema-drift gate — non-blocking until
alembic_versionwidth unblocked, then flipped to blocking. 244-table debt documented and being chipped at. - InfraPulse stall fix — dedicated realtime queue + worker. Sync psycopg2 path to bypass asyncpg contention on demo-task fan-out.
- InfraPerformance sweep (phases 1–3) — vendor chunking, OpenAI singleton, audit_logs index, chart memos; task_manager async + ReportBuilder via useQuery + Students debounce; code-split Settings (9 tabs) and PresidentialCockpit (7 tabs).
Demo Sandbox + Stakeholder Artefacts
- UXDemo welcome modal + 10-stop guided tour — frames the platform before the tour starts; resets flags on every demo launch; tooltip bound to viewport.
- FeatureDemo data depth — catchup seeders for course evaluations, peer reviews, prospective leads, lab rooms, marketing themes, ad campaigns, social mentions, notifications, career profiles, payment plans, journal entries. Closed every empty-dashboard surfaced by the daily coverage audit.
- FeatureDemo-tenant guards — every external-effect call site now skips for the demo tenant (after a known incident where seeded SLA escalations sent 3 emails to a personal address). Scanners without tenant context add explicit
WHERE tenant_id != DEMO_TENANT_ID. - UXLayout primitives + LAYOUT_RULES.md — design rules versioned; safeToFixed sweep on top-5 admin pages to stop NaN-in-PDF regressions.
- FeatureBlock B Investment Memo v2.1 — Marc's planning deck integrated (current Block A constraints + 3 floor plans). Hi-res screenshots replace low-res pptx-extracted versions.
- FeatureStrategic Plan v7 Committee Follow-Up — Marc's responses to the Chair's 5 questions captured as a Board-ready report.
- FeatureADEK Substantive Change feasibility report — online / blended delivery readiness assessment.
- FeatureMarketing site parity sweep — patents.html + roles.html + stat consolidation. First press release + dual-patent + higher-ed vertical pages. Dean correspondence emails #32–#37 archived in
docs/dean-correspondence/.
Quality & Test Coverage
- Backend: ~3,920 unit + 81 smoke tests passing — added
test_mission_control_revenue.py(+26 unit tests). - Frontend: 272 Vitest unit tests across 7 packages, unchanged in this period — focus was new surfaces, not regression coverage rewrites.
- E2E: 144 Playwright specs; 11 prod-smoke tests running every 30 min against live prod.
- OpenAPI sweep: weekly cron probes every GET endpoint with a demo JWT. Surfaces schema drift before users do.
- Visual regression: 9 baselines captured against the live demo.
- 4 over-frequent Celery beat schedules throttled for cost.
Invoicing & Scope Note
- Billing period: April 26 – May 22, 2026. Cut off early ahead of the Eid Al Adha break (May 26 onwards). Next period resumes after Eid.
- ~26 development sessions across ~4 weeks. Heavier breadth than April but lighter depth — three new surfaces (native Android app, scheduling portal, management portal) rather than one giant compliance push.
- Second patent provisional FILED at USPTO (64/053,198). Dual patent coverage now live on the marketing site, in the User Manual, and in dean correspondence.
- Production deploys steady; no migration freeze incidents this period. CI pipeline split (website-only deploys decoupled from backend) continues to deliver ~2-min website pushes vs ~11-min backend pushes.
- All work committed and deployed to
mainvia auto-deploy pipeline.
