August 2025 highlights for exactly/exa: Implemented infrastructure for asynchronous server-side task processing using BullMQ, enabling scalable background job execution. Hardened security posture through comprehensive dependency upgrades across core tooling (Astro, tmp, devalue, webauthn, mermaid), addressing known vulnerabilities and aligning dependencies with security standards. Established multi-network readiness for Base/Foundry, including network setup for Foundry, wagmi integration for Base networks, and strengthened tests/deploy robustness on new networks. Improved user experience by refining ProfileHeader to display checksummed shortened addresses while preserving original casing. Standardized releases with server/mobile version tags and updated changelogs reflecting server@0.2.12 and mobile@1.0.21, improving release governance and traceability.

May 2025 delivered robust release and deployment automation across exactly/exa, with end-to-end improvements to GitHub workflows (signing version commits, fetch tags on deploy, Sentry release integration, Expo builds, and environment-based build args). It also advanced versioning and tagging across server/mobile/common (server@0.1.3–0.1.5; mobile/server tag combinations; common/mobile tag coverage). Additional CI/CD and code quality improvements included renaming workflows, Docker metadata handling enhancements, and ESLint/markdown tooling updates. Security, reliability, and observability were strengthened via fixes for flaky tests, re-authentication, session validation, and improved Sentry context payloads; plus stabilizing app and server authentication flows and error handling. The month also introduced platform features and upgrades: SIWE authentication, proposal hooks and simulation hook, wagmi codegen improvements, and dependency upgrades (vite, viem, exactly protocol, LiFi SDK) to keep the stack current. These efforts collectively reduce deployment risk, shorten release cycles, improve observability and security, and enable future product capabilities.
