February 2026 summary for ONSdigital/dp-compose. This month focused on security hardening, performance optimization, data model enhancement, and migration tooling documentation. No major bugs reported or fixed; activities concentrated on delivering business value through architectural improvements and clearer operational guidance.

In November 2025, the frontend team advanced the platform’s design system integration for the dp-frontend-search-controller and corrected documentation to ensure alignment with the currentDesign System governance. The work focused on adopting the new design system (dis-design-system-go) by refactoring away from dp-renderer, updating the renderer path, imports, and model references, and preserving pagination and query semantics to avoid user-facing regressions. A documentation fix corrected the design system repository link in the README to reflect the correct source of truth. The month also included build/dependency alignment to support ongoing migrations, ensuring maintainability and smoother future transitions. Business value delivered includes improved UI consistency across components, reduced risk for future migrations, clearer ownership of the design-system source, and a more maintainable codebase through standardized design-system usage.
