ExpiredSolutions v1.1.0: Chatbot FAQs and a Health Check

Released ExpiredSolutions v1.1.0 today. It was a mixed bag of small fixes and a couple of features. Added a /api/health endpoint because, honestly, I needed a better way to see when things go sideways. This should help ops breathe a little easier.

The chatbot was giving me grief. AB 660 date label decoder now has its own FAQ category with 10 Q&A pairs. That decoder has been a real bear, but at least the chatbot won't be stumped by it anymore.

Also tackled a minor annoyance—converted api/chat.js from an ES module to CommonJS. Not the most glamorous task, but it was necessary for standardization across the codebase.

Over on FinanceOS, added Pillow to requirements.txt. It was one of those "of course I forgot that" moments. Also made the versioning dynamic for the /health endpoint via the APP_VERSION environment variable. Another small step for clarity.

On the portfolio front, added a /podcasts page. And because Murphy's Law is real, threw in a redirect for missing products. Redirects: the unsung heroes of web dev.

All in all, it wasn't a day of groundbreaking achievements, just the usual mix of bug squashing and incremental improvements. With 28 files changed and 105 Claude Code sessions, it's been a day of keeping the ship steady.
