+## What's new in beta.31
 
-- Fix: org ID is now correctly read from b.account.memberships[0].organization.uuid — bootstrap nests memberships inside account, not at the root
-- This was preventing usage limits from loading for all accounts
+- Fix: placeholder cards now show after sign-in when no usage data is cached yet (main panel no longer goes blank)
+- Debug: raw usage API response now included in debug banner so we can see what the endpoint returns
