Mar 1, 2026Summary for 2026-03: Strengthened test reliability, delivered notable UI/UX and navigation improvements, progressed production readiness tooling, and enhanced CI/CD. The team stabilized specs with sandbox factory usage and JWT key stubs, refined the UI with a revamped footer and navigation behavior, completed a multi-stage navigation refactor, enabled production pre-checks and a data-migration to disable unstarted About pages, and expanded cross-branch CI/test coverage and external API handling. These outcomes reduced release risk, improved user experience, and accelerated delivery cycles.
