We also performed comprehensive dependency updates, TypeScript typings fixes, and lockfile regeneration, aligning peer dependencies to reduce build errors and improve maintainability. Security hardening included CSP/tacking adjustments for Datadog and tracking pixels, plus robust cross-domain cookie handling by removing the domain from the context ID cookie and purging cookies tied to the previous domain.
