 ## Status
 
-Administrators can register persistent shared quest boards by targeting a block within five blocks and running `/questadmin createboard`. Right-clicking any registered board opens a native dialog where a player can request a block and quantity while escrowing the exact reward stack held in their main hand. Every board and `/quests list` show the same active quests with requested blocks, rewards, issuers, and time remaining. Players can complete quests at any board or with `/quests complete <quest>` by delivering the required blocks. Exact escrowed rewards are granted immediately, and delivered blocks are held for the issuer. Issuers can cancel their own active quests at any board or with `/quests cancel <quest>`. Completed deliveries and rewards from cancelled or seven-day-expired quests are held durably and can be collected at any board or with `/quests claim`; inventory overflow drops at the claimant's feet.
+Administrators can register persistent shared quest boards by targeting a block within five blocks and running `/questadmin createboard`. They can instead run `/questadmin createboard physical` to generate a five-wide oak board above the targeted ground anchor, with glowing centered title and browsing-instruction signs above three decorative signs; its visible panel blocks and all five signs are registered. Right-clicking any registered board opens a compact native dashboard with dedicated browsing, creation, and claim screens. A player can request a block and quantity while escrowing the exact reward stack held in their main hand.

 - Added persistent `/questadmin commands enable|disable` control with permission-aware autocomplete and failure-safe updates.
 - Kept administrative board creation available independently of the player-command setting.
 - Verified 82 tests and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
+
+## 2026-09-05 — Screen-fitting quest-board dialogs
+
+- Replaced the clipped 800-pixel combined board screen with a compact 420-pixel dashboard.
+- Split browsing, creation, and claims into dedicated native dialog screens with Back navigation.
+- Presented active quests as individual detail dialogs while retaining completion and issuer cancellation actions.
+- Verified 88 tests, including a 250-quest navigation case, and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
+
+## 2026-09-05 — Generated physical quest boards
+
+- Added `/questadmin createboard physical` to generate a five-wide, four-tall board above the targeted ground anchor facing the administrator.
+- Used oak-log pillars, an oak-plank face, and three oak wall signs with obfuscated decorative text.
+- Registered all visible planks and signs in one durable operation and added obstruction checks plus block rollback when construction or persistence fails.
+- Preserved existing single-block board creation and persisted board compatibility.
+- Verified 103 tests and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
+
+## 2026-09-05 — Readable physical-board signage
+
+- Added centered `Quest Board` and right-click instruction signs on the two layers above each generated board's three decorative signs.
+- Registered all five signs and the plank face as shared-board interaction locations.
+- Added exact legacy-structure detection and failure-safe startup upgrades for previously generated three-sign boards without touching custom or altered structures.
+- Verified 111 tests and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
+
+## 2026-09-05 — Glowing readable board signs
+
+- Enabled glowing front-side text on generated title and instruction signs while retaining non-glowing decorative signs.
+- Added exact full-structure detection to refresh existing generated boards once without modifying custom or altered signs.
+- Added two-sign snapshot rollback when a refresh cannot complete safely.
+- Verified 116 tests and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
+
+## 2026-09-05 — Nearby command-based quest creation
+
+- Allowed `/quests create <block> <quantity>` and its material and quantity autocomplete within five blocks of any registered board location even while global player commands are disabled.
+- Kept listing, completion, cancellation, and claiming commands disabled under that setting while preserving global command behavior when enabled.
+- Enforced same-world Euclidean proximity with an inclusive five-block boundary for custom and generated boards.
+- Verified 121 tests and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
+
+## 2026-09-05 — Named reward identification
+
+- Displayed custom reward names together with their material type in shared board details and command listings, such as `1 × Shopping List (PAPER)`.
+- Stored safe plain-text custom names alongside unchanged exact item metadata and inferred names from valid historical escrow data when possible.
+- Kept malformed or unavailable metadata from blocking quest browsing by falling back to material descriptions.
+- Verified 128 tests and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
+
+## 2026-09-07T01:31:27Z — Login quest guidance and recurring claim reminders
+
+- Extended [US-004](user-stories/us-004-browse-available-quests.md) with a private active, unexpired quest count on every login and guidance to visit the quest board to accept or create a quest.
+- Extended [US-007](user-stories/us-007-expire-quests-and-claim-held-items.md) with reminders on every login while actual pending claims remain, independently of notification acknowledgement and across reloads.
+- Preserved existing real-time and durable notifications without changing claim storage or collection.
+- Confirmed new behavior tests failed before implementation, then verified all 130 tests and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
