+  ## Assistant on the Hobby plan
+
+  Hobby plan users can now enable the [assistant](/assistant) by purchasing a [credit package](/assistant/configure#enable-the-assistant-on-the-hobby-plan) directly, without upgrading to Pro. The assistant activates as soon as the purchase completes and remains available for as long as you have an active credit package. To stop the assistant, downgrade your credit package to the lowest tier to return to Hobby at the end of the current billing cycle.

   ## Expanded MCP content access

  Authenticated [MCP servers](/ai/model-context-protocol) now return more of your content to authorized users. Authenticated users can search public pages plus any pages they have permission to access based on their user groups, instead of being limited to public pages only. [Client credentials](/ai/model-context-protocol#client-credentials) return all public pages and authenticated pages that aren't restricted to specific groups.

  The Mintlify MCP `list_nodes` tool now supports filtering by `parentId` (with optional `recursive` traversal), multiple node types, and additional division scopes including `dropdown`, `anchor`, `product`, and `item`. Results are paginated through an opaque cursor. See the [Mintlify MCP](/ai/mintlify-mcp) documentation for more details.

  ## Assistant credit packages

  The [assistant](/assistant) billing experience has been updated to use credit-based packages across all plans, with consistent terminology in the dashboard and usage controls. No changes to existing credit balances or usage.

  ## Image handling improvements

  - **Major improvement**: Images no longer cause layout shift by default, even when width and height attributes aren't specified—automatic sizing prevents content jumping during page loads
  - All static files in your repository (PDF, TXT, XML, etc.) are now automatically uploaded and served when you deploy, providing complete asset coverage

  ## Web editor and deployment enhancements

  - Fixed branch creation workflow in web editor to correctly navigate to and stay on newly created branches
  - Enhanced merge conflict dialog with proper escape functionality, no more page reloads required to dismiss conflicts
  - Optimized update workflow performance by cache-invalidating only changed pages during partial updates, reducing deployment times

  ## Authentication and navigation improvements

  - New support for authentication on custom subpaths, if you serve docs at `https://yourdomain.com/docs`, authentication now works seamlessly
  - Fixed sidebar display bug that incorrectly showed when only one link was configured
  - Comprehensive mobile navigation overhaul: centered buttons with proper margin/padding, improved spacing in dropdown menus, removed unnecessary dividers and margins for empty sections, and fixed Maple theme gap/padding issues
