Dec 1, 2025December 2025: This month delivered significant business value through school-group data access enhancements, streamlined group settings navigation, and targeted reliability improvements. Key features include the School Status Page with onboarding, current energy data components, and enhanced CSV exports for school status and meter status, plus navigation enhancements and a link from the group dashboard. Group settings now have left-side navigation and refreshed access paths, with legacy feature flags removed or integrated to simplify usage. Performance has been boosted by improved pagination (Pagy) and stabilized Flipper caching, complemented by linting updates for Bootstrap class usage. Bug fixes include excluding meters for non data-visible schools in school group status CSV exports and conditional dashboard messaging to avoid displaying stale messages. Overall, these changes improve reporting accuracy, onboarding experience, and developer velocity while reducing technical debt.

Nov 1, 2025November 2025 (Energy-Sparks/energy-sparks) monthly summary: Focused on reliability and correctness of the points system. Delivered a refactor of the activity and intervention points calculation to robustly handle current, past, and future academic years, ensuring points are awarded correctly and bonus points for images are applied where appropriate. Implemented safeguards so observations outside the current academic year no longer earn points, aligning incentives with academic-year boundaries. This work reduces miscalculations in analytics and reporting, improving data integrity for stakeholders and auditors.
