Feb 1, 2026

February 2026 - Delivered richer event management APIs and strengthened security, testing, and observability for goalgorilla/open_social. Implemented Rich Text Body support for Create/Update Event mutations, included optional Event Type, three-state UpdateEventLocation semantics, input validation, and enhanced error handling and logging. Added Delete Event GraphQL API with schema, resolver, tests, and an OAuth scope to govern deletion. Strengthened permissions and client_credentials flows with targeted OAuth scopes for event content and text formatting. Expanded kernel tests and aligned RichTextJson usage across Event and Topic mutations; moved ShouldNotHappenException to shared scope for reuse; improved observability through logging of failed node saves. All changes emphasize business value: richer event content, secure access, and more reliable mutations, with better maintainability for future enhancements.

June 2025 monthly summary for goalgorilla/open_social: Delivered a key feature enabling user role identification and role-based cookie management to support external system integrations. Implemented a flow to identify user roles, track configured roles, and persist role data in a login cookie with automatic removal on logout. This establishes cross-system role context for personalization, analytics, and secure workflows.

May 1, 2025

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.
