Aug 1, 2025In Aug 2025, I focused on hardening GraphQL JWT handling and improving client-side error resilience in UserOfficeProject/user-office-core. Key work centered on enhancing detection and logging for expired JWTs, sanitizing expired-token errors from responses, and reducing server-side log noise when no response is received from the server. These changes improve security, observability, and reliability of GraphQL interactions, while keeping client-server communications robust and compliant with privacy requirements.
