September 2025 (2025-09) monthly summary for narmi/design_system: Delivered core UI stability and responsive behavior across Dialog, Dropdowns, and Pagination, driving improved user experience and developer efficiency. Key features and improvements include adaptive Dialog layouts for all viewport orientations, progressive dropdown positioning for Select/Combobox, and a memoized pagination window for faster page navigation. Major fixes addressed layout and overflow scenarios: TableAutocomplete input now expands to its container width; MenuButton popovers are capped at 60vh to prevent overflow; and pagination shows all pages when there are six items. These efforts, along with targeted refactors and style alignment to design tokens, reduce edge-case bugs, improve accessibility, and optimize rendering performance. Technologies demonstrated: React hooks patterns, memoization, polyfill enhancements, inline z-index handling, and SCSS utility updates; ongoing codebase maintenance included formatting chores and dependabot cooldowns.
