Monthly summary for 2024-11 focused on a targeted bug fix in openedx/edx-ora2 to ensure proper gating of the MFE_VIEW_ENABLED flag for OpenAssessmentBlock within studio contexts. The fix requires both mfe_views_enabled and mfe_views_supported to be true before MFE views are enabled, preventing unintended exposure. Included a legacy view path for studio teams to maintain safe fallback. Result: improved stability, governance of feature rollout, and reduced risk of accidental MFE activation during studio workflows.
