With stunning clarity, JWST has revealed the Universe's first billion years. The scientific community is analyzing a wealth of JWST imaging and spectroscopic data from that era, and is in the process of rewriting the astronomy textbooks. Here, 1.5 years into the JWST science mission, we provide a snapshot of the great progress made towards understanding the initial chapters of our cosmic history. We highlight discoveries and breakthroughs, topics and issues that are not yet understood, and questions that will be addressed in the coming years, as JWST continues its revolutionary observations of the Early Universe. While this compendium is written by a small number of authors, invited to ISSI Bern in March 2024 as part of the 2024 ISSI Breakthrough Workshop, we acknowledge the work of a large community that is advancing our collective understanding of the evolution of the Early Universe.

PANORAMIC: Discovery of an Ultra-Massive Grand-Design Spiral Galaxy at $z\sim5.2$
A JWST survey reports Zhúlóng, a Milky Way-mass grand-design spiral galaxy candidate at z~5.2, the most distant such system yet identified.

Star-forming clump detection in nearby galaxies using Faster R-CNN and $ugrizy$ imaging data from CLAUDS and HSC-SSP
A six-band Faster R-CNN with the Zoobot backbone detects star-forming clump candidates in ~700,000 local galaxies, claiming ~90% completeness and ~80% purity for clumps brighter than the surveys' detection limits.

A Promise for the JWST era: Massive black holes directly collapsed from wave dark matter haloes, and Star formation in and around their accretion flows
Wave dark matter haloes could collapse directly into massive black holes before galaxies formed, explaining JWST-observed over-massive black holes, early massive galaxies, and rapid metal enrichment.

The ALMA REBELS survey: [OIII]$_{88\mu \text{m}}$ line scans of UV-bright $z \gtrsim 7.6$ galaxies
ALMA spectral scans of four z>7.6 galaxies yield no [OIII] 88 micron detections, with REBELS-04's non-detection challenging expectations from its star formation rate.

Synergising semi-analytical models and hydrodynamical simulations to interpret JWST data from the first billion years
A semi-analytic model seeded with simulation-derived star formation rules reproduces JWST's bright galaxies at z>11 via a top-heavy IMF or boosted star formation, and finds low-mass galaxies drove reionisation.

Deep Spectroscopic Follow-Up of Maisie's Galaxy -- A Typical Galaxy in the Early Universe
Deep JWST spectroscopy of Maisie's Galaxy at z=11.4 reveals moderate star formation, metallicity, and ionization consistent with a typical galaxy on the early star-formation main sequence rather than an extreme source.

How probable is the Lyman-$\alpha$ damping wing in the spectrum of the redshift z = 5.9896 quasar ULAS J0148+0600?
In late-ending reionization simulations, the probability of reproducing both the damping wing and near-zone size of quasar ULAS J0148+0600 is below one percent under standard emission assumptions.

Systematic Bias in Ionizing Radiation Escape Fraction Measurements from Foreground Large-Scale Structures
Lyman-alpha forest absorption at z~2.5 is weakly but significantly stronger along sightlines through overdense galaxy regions, implying a systematic bias in ionizing escape fraction measurements.

Low-redshift analogues of cosmic noon galaxies as laboratories for clumpy star formation
Clumps in low-redshift analogues of high-redshift galaxies are a few hundred parsecs across, and simulated cosmic-noon observations show that clustering and limited resolution inflate their apparent sizes.
