In 2026-01, Tutao/tutanota delivered critical fixes and enhancements around event editing access, invitations, and attendance state management. Key outcomes include preventing guests from dragging to edit event times (security and data integrity), implementing derived pendingInvitation status from attendee activity, and ensuring altered instances do not revert to ghost bubbles during times changes. Tests were expanded to enforce per-attendee permissions and validate pendingInvitation logic. These changes improve data integrity, security, and user experience for shared event workflows. Demonstrated technologies include backend state management, test-driven development, timestamp-based comparisons, and cross-team collaboration across multiple commits.
