May 1, 2025Monthly summary for 2025-05 (theopensystemslab/planx-new). This period focused on delivering core features with strong data integrity and template reliability, while expanding search capabilities and automating templated content changes. The work emphasizes business value through safer customization, clearer publishing transparency, and maintainable dependency hygiene. Key features delivered, with business value: - Input Validation Enhancements: Strengthened validation across AddressInput, ContactInput, and TextInput with input trimming before emptiness checks, preventing invalid submissions. Added tests to ensure long-term quality. - Flow Editor: Templated Nodes Edit Restrictions: Preserved template integrity by disabling edits in templated flows unless nodes are tagged as 'customisation', reducing risk of template drift. - Templated Flow Edits Automation: Implemented event-driven automation to update templated_flow_edits via a new controller/service and Hasura webhook, and tracking of edits when flows are templated from other flows. - Ward-inclusive Property Search: Extended property search to include ward information and store ward data for display and filtering, improving relevance of results. - Questions/Checklists Automation Enhancement: Added a 'never put to user (default blank automation)' option with validation to support safer automation in workflows. - Template Publishing Transparency: Informed publishers when a flow is a template and which child flows will be updated on template publish, increasing transparency. - PlanX Core Dependency Updates: Routine maintenance to update planx-core dependencies across sub-projects, keeping lockfiles current. Major bugs fixed: - Fees Calculation and Data Integrity: Fixed zero-fee handling and exemptions in breakdowns, preserved 0 fees, reflected exemptions in totals, and ensured correct fastTrack metadata writing when applicable. - Templated Flow Edits Automation Rollback: Reverted previous templated flow edits automation due to issues to restore stability. - Council Filename Mapping: Ensured article filenames correctly reflect the local council during generation. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved data integrity and consistency across payments, templates, and automated workflows, reducing edge-case errors and support overhead. - Increased transparency and safety around template usage, empowering content teams and end users. - Maintained developer velocity through targeted dependency updates and automation-driven changes. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Event-driven architecture and Hasura webhooks for templated_flow_edits tracking. - Robust input validation and test coverage across multiple input components. - Automated workflow enhancements and rollback capabilities for templated processes. - Dependency management with pnpm lockfile updates across sub-projects. - Data-pipeline awareness in rendering and search features (ward data, exemptions, 0-value handling).

Nov 1, 2024November 2024 performance summary for the planx-new repository (theopensystemslab/planx-new). The month focused on delivering high-value features, strengthening data integrity and performance, and enabling scalable automation workflows, while stabilizing the developer experience through dependency hygiene and reliability improvements. Key features delivered include Editor: Multi-flag Permissions (FlagsSelect) for richer data categorization and multi-flag associations, and foundational DB/metadata improvements consisting of PostgreSQL index enhancements and Hasura metadata standardization to boost query performance and consistency across environments. Automation and council workflows were advanced with S3 integrations (Southwark S3 with Power Automate tokens and Lambeth S3 API key configuration), supporting automated uploads and streamlined environment setup. Core library hygiene was maintained with planx-core upgrades across modules to ensure currency and interoperability. Reliability and quality were reinforced by extending the /diff endpoint timeout to 120 seconds for large diffs, and implementing UI consistency fixes such as displaying NoFlagBand when no flags are present; additional robustness improvements included safer auto-answer data access and targeted documentation filtering to exclude questions without responses. Business impact centers on faster, more reliable data processing, more capable editor workflows, and streamlined automation pipelines that reduce manual overhead and errors.
