May 1, 2025May 2025: Geospatial enhancements delivered for the unboxed/bops repository. Implemented OS National Grid coordinate support for planning applications, including a database migration and new easting/northing fields, and introduced a dedicated conversion service (OsNationalGrid) to translate OS National Grid coordinates to WGS84 latitude/longitude with automatic population of lat/long. These changes enable accurate geospatial representation, improved mapping, and streamlined planning workflows across systems.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025: Key engine migration and bug fixes in unboxed/bops delivered notable business value and maintainability gains. Key features delivered: Pre-application Report Engine Migration — migrated pre-application report functionality to the new bops_reports engine with end-to-end refactor of routes, controllers, and views to align with the engine structure, enabling dedicated handling of pre-application report generation and review. Major bugs fixed: Decision Notice Conditional Display Bug Fix — refined the decision notice view to show conditions only when the planning application is granted, improving clarity and accuracy; Uploaded Documents URL Handling Improvements — unified uploaded file URL handling via a general uploaded_file_url path and removed the legacy DocumentsController to streamline document access. Overall impact: improved reliability and consistency of reporting, faster and more predictable pre-application report generation, and cleaner engine-based architecture that reduces maintenance. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Rails engine migration and refactor, engine-structured routing/controllers/views, URL handling for uploaded documents, and cleanup of legacy controllers.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 (unboxed/bops) focused on data-model modernization, admin workflow enhancements, and initial reporting capabilities. Key deliveries: - ApplicationType system overhaul and local authority scoping: Refactored ApplicationType into a LocalAuthority-scoped Config model, updated associations and factories, added new FK constraints and migrations, and removed legacy application type overrides. This change improves data integrity and governance across configurations. - Determination period management for application types (admin UI): Introduced an admin interface to configure determination periods for application types; migrated data from JSONB to a dedicated column; removed the outdated admin flow. - Recommended application type for planning/pre-application: Added support for a recommended_application_type (planning/pre-apps) with FK constraints, validations, and user-facing selection components. - Assessment workflow differentiation for pre-applications: Differentiated assessment tasks for pre-applications and extended ApplicationType::Config with pre-app remarks, updating views accordingly. - BOPS-Reports engine: Established the BOPS-Reports engine with routes, controllers, and basic views for a reports dashboard integrated into the main app. These changes establish a foundation for cleaner configuration governance, more accurate planning decisions, and initial data-driven insights via reporting.
