Jun 1, 2026June 2026 (2026-06) focused on stabilizing form submissions workflows, tightening data handling, and strengthening authentication UX. Delivered a Zendesk-backed form submissions pipeline and migrated data structures from X-Road DTOs to JSON DTOs, including a JSON sample representation to facilitate interchange. Implemented a UI-safe 401/403 handling by reloading the window on GraphQL requests to preserve user context and redirect flows. These changes reduce JSON payloads sent to Zendesk, improve data quality, and boost end-user reliability. All work was in island-is/island.is, with commits linked to #22704, #22747, and #22765.
