Added
- Papyrus Copilot (GA) — slide-out conversational panel on every page; asks questions and gets cited answers from your tenant's documents. RBAC-enforced.

- Bottleneck detection — workflow analytics now surface specific approvers / steps that consistently exceed SLA, with re-routing suggestions
- Approval-time prediction — when submitting a workflow, see an estimate of completion time based on current approver workload and historical response
- Swahili Copilot — Copilot understands and responds in Swahili; auto-detects per query
Changed

- Mobile app — offline document cache increased to 200 MB default (was 100 MB)
Fixed
- M-Pesa STK Push callback handling under network jitter (occasional double-charge on retry)
- Bulk upload progress indicator stuck at 99% on the very last file
- Workflow email approval link expiry was off by one timezone hour
