This imaginary release adds three features that were requested by exactly no one, but they look useful in a blog demo.
Highlights
- The dashboard now remembers which accordion was last open.
- Empty charts gently imply that data might arrive one day.
- The export button exports a file named
probably-final-v7.csv.
The best product updates are the ones that sound specific enough to be real and vague enough to be harmless.

The rollout plan is to ship it on Tuesday, observe nothing, and write a retrospective with three bullet points.
