October 2025 (2025-10): Delivered security hardening and access-control improvements for mozilla/blurts-server. Implemented tier-based access control for monthly monitor reports, enforced strict redirect URL origin validation to prevent spoofing, and permanently enabled the PromptNoneAuth flow by removing its feature flag. These changes strengthen revenue protection, reduce attack surface, and simplify auth-related logic. No customer-reported bugs were resolved this cycle; focus was on delivering tangible features and security improvements that enable safer, more scalable access to reports for paying users.

Month: 2025-05 | Focused on Moscary-first migration and UI/UX improvements in mozilla/blurts-server. Key outcomes include complete Moscary integration with new schema, IDs, welcome flow, type-generation script, and an active indicator; replacement of OneRep flows and deprecation of old APIs to reduce cross-service coupling. Reliability and quality improved through FxA age input fix, SubPlat trailing slash cleanup, and documentation clarifications. Testing and release stability enhanced via feature-flag headers in e2e tests, increased axe timeout, and disabling preview deployments with scoped monitoring headers. UI/UX and settings work advanced with enabling settings redesign, menu structure updates, and FxA/Settings Page integration. Developer experience improved by exposing Moscary ID in the dev console and refreshing dashboard subscriber data.
