Jan 1, 2025January 2025 summary: Delivered a focused set of UI/UX, API, security, and developer tooling improvements for betagouv/complements-alimentaires that enhance accessibility, data integrity, and time-to-value for users and operators. Key features delivered include comprehensive UI/HTML semantics and presentation enhancements with consistent error/warning messaging across web and PDF views; backend/API robustness improvements such as improved error handling, standardized warnings, and autocomplete API alignment; and stronger access control with permissions checks on info and reject endpoints. Collaboration and workflow were streamlined via GitHub integration and UI polish for request tables (dynamic breadcrumbs and status badges). Developer velocity and maintainability were boosted by in-browser HTML previews, a Makefile for Docker workflows, and migration-compatible data model updates. Additional UX refinements include display prefix alignment and date printed, along with ongoing synonym support and frontend/backend refactoring. Overall impact: higher quality, reduced risk, faster delivery, and clearer data presentation for stakeholders.
