August 2025 (2025-08): Delivered an architecture update to the Dispatcher in the goalgorilla/open_social repo by migrating to V1 CloudEventsInterface and embedding a per-project ID into the event source. This enhances event tracking, immutability, and security, aligning with multi-tenant requirements and future CloudEvents compatibility. The change is captured under PROD-33412 with commit 5e5137c2e0d6d845f0ca684302e09c1f779acade.

In May 2025, delivered a critical data correctness improvement across the social time-tracking subsystem by correcting event timestamps to reflect when actions occurred. The fix uses the request time instead of the creation time for events and was applied across multiple modules (social_event, social_group_flexible_group, social_user). This change improves analytics accuracy, downstream reporting, and user-facing timestamps with minimal risk.
