Key Updates

2026-05-20 / MASAMUNE Storage / Improvement
Improved Secure Erase guidance and storage-type labels
Improved Secure Erase guidance for some directly attached SATA drives. Also fixed cases where USB-attached SSDs could be mislabeled as HDDs.
2026-05-20 / MASAMUNE Storage / Fix
Stabilized post-stop status display
Fixed an issue where a device card could continue to look active immediately after stopping a job. The transition from stopping to interrupted is now clearer.

Where the public release-note cards are brief, this draft also checks nearby implementation reports and artifacts from the same period.

Implementation reports show continued work on logs, analytics, and dashboard behavior, which helps explain changes that are only briefly described in the release-note cards.
Related work on mobile/PWA flows, IMEI handling, and storage verification suggests these device-side improvements are part of broader platform hardening rather than isolated fixes.

Better log visibility and verification defaults should reduce post-erasure review friction.
Improved USB HDD serial detection should raise evidence quality and audit confidence for storage workflows.
