Aug 1, 2025For 2025-08, delivered two key improvements in backstage/community-plugins that directly enhance reliability, data accuracy, and user efficiency. 1) Mend Backend Token Fetch Reliability: fixed dashboard data token retrieval by correcting targetPluginId from 'plugin.catalog.service' to 'catalog', ensuring correct interaction with the catalog plugin; CODEOWNERS updated to reflect plugin maintainership. This reduces data fetch failures and improves dashboard uptime. 2) Mend Plugin Data Display and Filtering Enhancements: refactored project/entity mapping to use repository SourceURL, resulting in accurate mapping and improved display across Project Overview and Finding Overview tabs; added a new filtering mechanism on the Mend tab to drill down by Project Overview selections. 3) Maintainability and governance improvements: updated configuration and changeset, enhanced changelog/documentation, and ensured proper sign-offs to support future releases and clear ownership.
