June 2025 – makeswift/makeswift: Performed a targeted code cleanup by removing the unused useBuilderHandshake hook from the React runtime provider. The handshake logic that enabled draft mode is no longer supported, so the change reduces dead code and unnecessary dependencies, streamlining the runtime and lowering maintenance risk. This work is reflected in commit 341b920eac809b0f519d0dd4f0eb846887fc47fe (chore: remove unused useBuilderHandshake).
