Nov 1, 2025November 2025 for gc-proto/cra-arc focused on UI/UX improvements, code quality, localization, and reliability to deliver faster, clearer user interactions and easier long-term maintenance. Key deliverables include a UI/UX refresh of tables including header and header text, a new sf-digital3.html page, and broader HTML/CSS refactors; organizational refactors moved shared functions and language logic outside of components to improve maintainability. Reliability and performance were enhanced via an instant 0ms scroll update (with a bug fix for operability), improved fetch error handling, and refined tax calculation flows. Localization and accessibility efforts added translations (including French), FR-specific links, a dismissible accessibility alert, and updated UI copy for clarity. Together these changes reduce technical debt, improve business-facing clarity, and accelerate future feature delivery.
