May 2025 — Delivered user-scoped data integrity and cross-module support for EnCiv/civil-pursuit. Implemented Jsforms Data Model and User-Scoped Upsert to store parentId and userId as strings, ensure getJsform retrieves forms for the current user, and enforce userId on upsert with updated tests. Added Discussion Conclusions Retrieval to fetch conclusion IDs and their points from completed discussions, enabling targeted UI access and analytics. Hardened upsert-jsform with an early-return guard when no callback is provided, reducing runtime errors. These changes improve data isolation, security, and overall readiness for user-centric workflows, while expanding testing coverage and maintainability.
