January 2026 monthly work summary for kiva/ui focusing on Journey module UI/UX improvements and rendering reliability. Key outcomes include refined render gating for JourneyGeneralPrompt, preventing overlap with BadgeMilestone and GoalCompleted, and explicit gating via showBadgeModule to show JourneyModule only when relevant achievements/badges are met. Additionally, Thanks Page rendering logic was fixed by restoring proper else-if flow in ThanksPageSingleVersion based on showJourneyModule. These changes improve user focus, reduce UI confusion, and enhance reliability of journey-related flows, contributing to user engagement and product alignment.
