July 2025 monthly summary for digidem/comapeo-mobile: Focused stabilization, traffic optimization, and observability improvements across the Discovery Service, frontend flow, and telemetry controls. Key outcomes include: (1) Discovery Service reliability and startup stability fixes ensuring messages queue until the backend is ready, robust service discovery, and prevention of unintended shutdowns; (2) Frontend traffic optimization by removing an unused hook to reduce bridge traffic while preserving behavior; (3) Observability enhancements with Sentry tracing enabled in non-production and debug logging disabled in production to improve visibility and security. These changes reduce startup risks, lower network chatter, and improve developer feedback loops, enabling faster, safer deployments.
