Month: 2025-08. Key feature delivered: TTL support for Task Logs in the modal-client API by adding ttl_days to TaskLogsBatch in api.proto. This enables time-bound retention of task logs, reducing storage costs and aiding compliance. Minor or no documented bug fixes in the provided scope for this period. Major accomplishments include delivering a focused, low-risk API enhancement with clear commits.

July 2025 monthly summary for modal-labs/modal-client. Delivered two key features that simplify configuration and improve resource clarity, along with fixes that stabilize defaults and testing. Key outcomes include: (a) Default enabling of MODAL_FUNCTION_SCHEMAS, reducing configuration friction and ensuring consistent behavior across deployments; (b) Structured GPU resource representation via GPUConfig in TaskInfo, enabling more accurate scheduling and reporting. These changes reduce configuration debt, improve test reliability, and lay groundwork for scalable resource management. Commits underpinning these changes include 791c47ea1811d8346624d1de9949ee36c2ca3370 and ded9e61d9944ebe181577f677ad1f7506eaf72ba. The work demonstrates strong in-repo collaboration, code quality, and pragmatic feature delivery with clear business value: reduced manual overrides, fewer failures due to misconfigured schemas, and better visibility into GPU resources.
