August 2025: Delivered multi-resource datasets support with end-to-end tests and real-time updates in sanity-io/sdk (React kitchen sink). Refactored useDocumentPreview and useDocumentProjection to correctly identify the Sanity instance when multiple resources are in use. Added end-to-end tests for viewing and editing documents across datasets with real-time updates. Implemented a targeted fix for React hooks to resolve the correct instance when config is shared across resources (commit 3183c234ade23b6f5623a11bae3fa75c418ed657). Business value: enables reliable multi-dataset workflows, reduces debugging time, and improves real-time collaboration across datasets.

July 2025 highlights: Delivered foundational SDK improvements and reliability enhancements. Implemented a type-safe defineIntent API with runtime checks and tests; improved CI and local development workflows for Playwright tests by adjusting server startup behavior and removing unnecessary network idle wait, resulting in faster, more deterministic test runs and better developer experience. These changes establish a stronger developer experience and reduce runtime errors in intent handling and test execution.

June 2025 (sanity-io/sdk): Implemented a comprehensive End-to-End Testing Platform covering authentication and document workflows, including fixtures, environment-driven configurations, CI workflow, and cross-environment test support. This framework enables reliable automated testing of login flows, document edit/list operations, and testing in Studio and Dashboard contexts, reducing release risk and accelerating feedback cycles.
