Month: 2026-02. Focused on architectural simplification in bluesky-social/indigo by removing the Querycheck module responsible for PostgreSQL query plan validation. This action reduces maintenance overhead, aligns with a strategic shift toward the next feature set, and prepares the codebase for upcoming platform improvements. No other major changes were recorded for this repository in the month.

December 2025 monthly summary focused on delivering scalable features and reinforcing stability across bluesky-social repositories. Key initiatives centered on performance optimization, SEO improvements for discoverability, and improved runtime resilience, aligning with business goals of faster responses, better search visibility, and robust operations.

July 2025 Monthly Summary focusing on business value and technical achievements. Key features delivered: - Bluesky-social/social-app: Geo-aware age restrictions in IPCCResponse. Introduced isAgeRestrictedGeo flag to detect and communicate age-restricted geographies, added stepwise JSON payload changes, corrected data type, and applied omitempty to optimize payloads. Commits involved: c2a5b3efa8c2fa061cc5e86a5d3a3240fb0eba2c; 1da123b12be408c4e8005338a93a56131541be15; c9c91fb113f9c80c5e0be8244ee367a7c9f934b2. - Bluesky-social/atproto: Age-Restricted Push Notification Tokens Handling. Added pass-through of age-restricted status for device push tokens; updates include lexicon definitions, code generation, protocol buffer modifications, and integration into the registration flow to ensure compliance in push notifications. Commit: c73d91335439edc71f9b6bbd9b93e41848fce540. - Bluesky-social/indigo: Age Assurance (AA) functionality. Adds AA capabilities, data structures, and new XRPC methods to initiate and retrieve age assurance states across API definitions. Commit: ed952d135ecb44af8b2146c4e8b4421380543cc7. - Bluesky-social/indigo: Moderation and Safe Link Enhancements. Introduces moderation tools and safe link management across API endpoints, enhances traceability of moderation actions, adds event deduplication via externalId, and introduces app.bsky.notification.unregisterPush. Commits: bde098604c30215fcfad98d5b4357c5c606d2851; 363e87712e7ee1a7e0fa2c30511495cdc578068c. - Bluesky-social/indigo: Internal API Refactor and Testing Reliability. Removes ModTool field from several data structures and function calls to refactor APIs; adds thread-safety to MockDirectory to prevent race conditions in tests. Commits: 760878d83b68502528369ed0f2fbea9741b58397; 9db269ae3da954cf286f663cef9acc3b5d3b4dc1. Major bugs fixed: - Fixed age-related data issues by correcting the Age Restriction Type handling in IPCCResponse and applying omitempty optimization for the AA payload to reduce payload size and network usage. This improves reliability of age-based geolocation signaling across clients. (Associated commits include the changes cited above in the IPCCResponse work.) Overall impact and accomplishments: - Regulatory and safety readiness: By enabling geo-aware age restrictions, age-restricted push token handling, and age assurance workflows, the platform becomes better positioned to comply with age-based content rules and user safety requirements across all major apps (social-app, atproto, indigo). - Operational efficiency and reliability: Refactoring and thread-safety improvements reduce test flakiness and API breakages, while moderation and safe link enhancements improve incident traceability and user safety workflows. - Faster feature iteration: Lexicon/code-generation readiness (lexgen) underpins accelerating future features related to age features and moderation without compromising stability. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Protocol buffers and API wiring for cross-service age features, including lexicon/code-generation workflows. - XRPC method design and data structure evolution for age assurance and moderation workflows. - JSON payload optimization (omitempty) and precise data typing for efficient network usage. - Concurrency safety improvements (thread-safe MockDirectory) and API refactor discipline to prevent race conditions.

June 2025: Delivered the Notification Preferences System in bluesky-social/indigo with new types and RPCs, plus naming refinements for clarity. No major bugs fixed. Impact: Improved user control over notifications, clearer data model, and groundwork for scalable notification features across clients.

May 2025 performance summary: Delivered two major features that advance data fidelity and operational scalability across bluesky-social/indigo and bluesky-social/atproto. BSKY API Data Model Enhancements for Feeds and Notifications adds new fields (ReqId, Cid, Uri, Via) and clarifies notification reason, enabling richer feeds and analytics. Bsync: Generic CRUD Operations API and Scanning introduces protobuf definitions, service methods, migrations, API routes, and tests to support scalable create/read/update/delete and scanning workflows. These efforts improve data quality for clients, streamline business workflows, and establish a foundation for future features.

Summary for April 2025 (2025-04): The Indigo team focused on reliability, observability, and data interoperability. We resolved critical lifecycle and startup issues across API and metrics servers, introduced runtime profiling to improve debugging visibility, and added a GraphVerification type with CBOR marshal/unmarshal and integration into the code generation process. These changes reduce downtime, speed issue diagnosis, and strengthen data interchange with Atproto-dependent components.
