Release v5.17.4

Meetings
• You can now hide or redact individual transcript sections, so sensitive parts of a conversation stay private from both teammates and AI features.
• Meeting locks now respect a proper permission hierarchy — org owners, admins, and team admins can each manage locked meetings at their level.
• Meeting recording downloads are limited to the event host.
• Meeting recaps now go to exactly the recipients the host configured.
• Fixed an issue where deleted recurring meetings kept appearing in Cadence, and where canceled meetings weren't handled correctly.
• Fixed duplicate calendar events appearing after large calendar syncs.

Goals & Check-ins
• Projects now live in their own folder, separate from metric goals — so outcome tracking and project tracking no longer crowd each other.
• Metric values now support more than two decimal places.
• Deleting a team no longer leaves its goals orphaned — they're reassigned or removed with the team.
• Fixed the Company Goals section not respecting your default collapse setting, and Goal menu actions not working from the cadence view.
• The check-in activity heatmap now counts only real human check-ins, so your usage numbers reflect actual engagement.
• Fixed a flood of duplicate check-ins triggered by integrations.

Reporting
• New admin reporting for OKR progress and product usage across your organization.
• Improved the flatten filter so it's clearer what you're filtering and why.

Artifacts & AI
• Artifacts now build progressively — you see structure immediately instead of waiting for the whole document, and goal-backed content loads noticeably faster.
• Redesigned the new-artifact page, and you can now copy tiles into a new artifact.
• Better HTML tile rendering, and fixed cursor jumping when several people edit an artifact at once.
• Artifact links can now be sent directly to meeting participants.
• Artifact changes are recorded in an audit log.
• When you ask about data from a connected source, the assistant can now actually reach it.
• Times shown in the app and times used by the assistant now agree.

Accounts & Access
• Refreshed signup and login experience.
• Org admins can act on behalf of a member to troubleshoot issues.
• Deleting an organization now properly signs its members out, and signing in as a deactivated user no longer creates a stray organization.

Performance & Reliability
• Fixed a class of failures where saving larger amounts of data would fail silently and leave the app stuck on the loading screen.
