Welcome to another LearnCard Changeblog! With a number of events and live demonstrations over the past weeks, we’d feature-locked LearnCard to ensure smooth sailing. Behind the scenes, we kept on pumping out changes and improvements to LearnCard! Let’s dive in.

This release is a big one — Let's dig in!

LC-1730 / LC-1731 — Guardian-Gated Credential Issuance

This PR adds Guardian-Gated Credential Issuance — when enabled, credential issuance for minor accounts requires explicit guardian approval. This is a meaningful step for K-12 deployments and any workflow involving learners under 18.

LC-1678 — Pathways 2.0: Explore Roles

The next step in our Pathways feature set: Explore Roles. Learners can now actively explore career roles within their Pathway, getting more agency in discovering and committing to the goals that resonate with them.

LC-1742 — App-Scoped Counters + In-App Notifications

This PR introduces App-Scoped Counters and a new In-App Notifications system. Apps in the App Store can now track engagement counters scoped to their own context, and learners receive in-app notifications about activity from those apps without leaving LearnCard.

LC-1726 — First-Class CLR 2.0 in CredentialBuilder

Building on the Enhanced CLR work we shipped in late March, this PR brings full first-class CLR 2.0 support into CredentialBuilder. Issuers can now author, edit, and issue CLR 2.0 credentials directly from the CredentialBuilder UI.

requestLearnerContext for App Store Apps

This PR adds requestLearnerContext support across Partner Connect, the LearnCard host, and the network stack — so embedded App Store apps can request learner context for AI flows. As a bonus, requestConsent() now resolves the configured contract from the app listing's integration automatically when a contract URI isn't passed explicitly, and there's a new request-learner-context demo app to exercise the full flow.

A few smaller wins worth calling out:

• LC-1675 — "What would you like to do?" card — a friendlier home-screen entry point.

• LC-1698 — Embed CTID & Credential Finder URL in issued credentials — improving discoverability through Credential Engine.

• Grow Skills redesign and modal — a refreshed Grow Skills flow with new modal interactions.

• Over-18 children with guardian approval can access AI — smoother transition between minor and adult accounts for AI features.

• Optional delete on the Store Control Plane — storage plugins can now support credential deletion with automatic read-cache invalidation.

• Polish & fixes: skip published step for Boost (LC-1285), new bottom nav links to AI page routes (LC-1740), assorted small polishes (LC-1751), mobile footer changes (LC-1777), Capgo updater bump (LC-1727), "Already Connected" Android Resume fix, auto-consent to LearnCard.AI post-onboarding, LC-1740 misc UI polishes.
