March 2026: The Ort Server program delivered significant performance, security, and governance improvements. Replaced the in-memory OrtResult with direct SQL queries and optimized listForOrtRuns, dramatically speeding rule violations and vulnerability queries. Introduced a comprehensive resolutions framework for vulnerabilities, issues, and rule violations, including API refactors, data stores, read models, services, routes, and UI integration, with server-side persistence by message hash and support for unapplied and deleted resolutions. Strengthened security and access controls with enforcement of rerun permissions, creation protection for non-authorized users, and delete permission checks, plus hierarchical secrets management restrictions. Enhanced permissions handling and UI consistency through typed permissions and several UI/UX polish efforts (aria-disabled states, button text, project links, copy-to-clipboard, etc.). Also advanced developer productivity and quality via shared models, DAO utilities, and repository hygiene.

2026-01 Monthly Summary for eclipse-apoapsis/ort-server: Delivered a set of UI and data-management improvements that scale with larger run data and improve decision support, while strengthening data governance around resolutions. Key features delivered: - RunDuration UI tooltip fixes and duration calculations: widened tooltips, correct rendering when infrastructure durations are toggled, and accurate total duration computation for long-running runs. - Extended RunDuration component: now optionally accepts duration in milliseconds to align the "Total run duration" and "Total job duration" views with the chart data. - Column sizing and responsive tables: introduced widthPercentage, isGrow, and a responsive sizing hook; wired into main table components with fixed table layout for predictable rendering across breakpoints. - Repository Runs Table refactor: migrated to a card-based layout to scale with diverse data in ORT runs. - Resolution management storage and API: added tables to track resolution matches, store resolved items across evaluator/reporter/workers, and created endpoints/tests to expose unresolved vs. total counts for issues, vulnerabilities, and rule violations. Major bugs fixed: - Tooltip render and layout issues in RunDuration charts; total durations now reliably reflect the underlying data across various UI states. - UI/UX stability fixes including reduced infinite rerenders, alignment fixes for charts and usernames, and proper link behavior in search results. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved measurement reliability for run metrics and faster troubleshooting through accurate, scalable visualizations and data views. - A scalable UI foundation (responsive tables, card-based layouts) that supports growing data volumes without sacrificing performance or readability. - Stronger data governance and analytics via resolution-mapped data, enabling better risk management and reporting. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - React/TypeScript UI engineering with Recharts 3.6 adaptations. - Advanced table layout strategies via TanStack Table patterns and a custom column sizing hook. - Data modeling and DAO/storage changes for resolutions, with API surface and tests to expose unresolved vs. total counts. - Performance and reliability improvements (SSR hydration, rerender prevention) and maintenance practices (documentation-friendly commit history).
