June 2026: Documentation cleanup for permitio/docs to align with the current PDP deployment. Replaced references to the deprecated pdp-api.permit.io with localhost:7766, updated OpenAPI/Redoc links and curl examples, and fixed port-mapping inconsistencies across the docs. Changes captured in PER-15119 (commit 4a891fcc32d802d259985bc6165565f9946d91e7), with contributions from Claude Fable and Claude Opus, improving developer onboarding and reducing support friction.

May 2026 monthly summary focused on delivering customer-ready documentation that enables faster, low-friction on-prem deployments and improves onboarding, while enabling more autonomous development workflows.

April 2026 Monthly Summary: Delivered robust, business-value-driven improvements across permitio/opal and permitio/docs, focusing on reliable upstream synchronization, full-history integrity for cross-repo merges, and enterprise deployment documentation for MCP Gateway. Key outcomes include a more stable integration workflow, reduced conflict surface, and enhanced deployment options for customers with on-premises and air-gapped requirements. These changes improve upstream collaboration, accelerate feature integration, and strengthen compliance-adjacent documentation for enterprise deployments.

March 2026: Delivered customer-focused rate limiting documentation enhancements for permitio/docs, clarifying per-endpoint limits, 429 handling guidance, and removing sensitive internal details. Also completed cross-service alignment of rate limit disclosures with production configurations across MCP Gateway and Permit API, improving consistency and reducing risk of misconfiguration.

January 2026 (2026-01) monthly summary for permitio/docs focusing on the key feature delivered and its impact. The primary deliverable this month was a documentation update to support private registries on GKE deployments, with clear steps for using Google Artifact Registry and configuring imagePullSecrets. This work aligns with security and ease-of-use objectives for customers deploying to Google Kubernetes Engine with private registries.

October 2025 (permitio/opal) delivered Opal-client-eOPA variant support, including building and documenting the variant, updating CI/CD to build and push the new variant, and adding tooling to simplify containerization and usage. A Makefile target was added to build the eOPA Docker image, and a Docker Compose example demonstrates end-to-end usage. No major bugs reported this month. Overall impact includes broader deployment options, improved automation and reproducibility, and faster customer onboarding. Technologies demonstrated include Docker, Docker Compose, Makefile scripting, CI/CD automation, and developer documentation.

March 2025 — permitio/opal: Focused on performance optimization for the Cedar client integration. Delivered a Docker build optimization by decoupling the cedar-agent from the Cedar client Dockerfile and sourcing a pre-built cedar-agent binary from a separate image. This reduces build times and potentially lowers image size, improving CI speed and developer feedback cycles. No major bug fixes were required this month; the work centered on reliability, performance, and maintainability improvements across the Cedar client workflow.

January 2025 | permitio/opal: Packaging and CI/CD improvements that boost release reliability and cross-platform support. Deliverables enhance packaging confidence, versioning standards, and streamlined releases for PyPI and Docker.
