During February 2025, delivered a major expansion of the backend’s User and Organization Management System, refactoring the database architecture and introducing new models, serializers, views, and tests to support users, organizations, projects, plantations, and watershed planning. Updated API documentation to reflect the new capabilities and added comprehensive test coverage to validate behavior and maintain backward compatibility. Implemented a Swagger UI standalone preset, bundling Swagger UI and dependencies into a single JavaScript file to streamline API docs integration for frontend teams and external consumers. For organization-related functionality, improved permission handling and API behavior: available_orgs now returns both name and id, and organization listing logic behaves correctly when no organizations are present. These changes create a solid foundation for scaling multi-tenant workflows while reducing integration friction and risk in deployments.
