May 1, 2025May 2025 monthly summary for serlo/frontend: Focused on maintainability and stability with targeted enhancements to the editor component and GraphQL layer. Key outcomes include removal of unused media-upload GraphQL query types to refine codegen configurations, introduction of a new disable-media-upload attribute on the editor web component with a corresponding dependency upgrade, and reintroduction of the testing-secret attribute to preserve backward compatibility. These changes reduce surface area, simplify codegen, and prevent downstream breakages, delivering clearer feature flags and stronger release hygiene.
