April 2026: Implemented targeted crawler improvement in planx-new to enhance link previews for Microsoft Teams and Skype. Added a dedicated Microsoft Teams user-agent to the crawler, addressing rendering gaps and improving preview fidelity across Teams and Skype links. The change was delivered through a focused fix commit addressing issue #6401, with clear traceability and minimal risk.

For 2026-03, delivered three features in the PlanX project: Onboarding Email Automation (API endpoint, Hasura trigger, and Resend integration), Submission logging enhancements (address field in submissions log and events), and Rich link previews for PlanX flow URLs (Lambda@Edge generating Open Graph meta tags). A major bug fix wired Resend environment variables in Pulumi to enable onboarding emails. Impact: faster activation for new users, richer submission context for tracing, and improved link sharing across Slack/Twitter, contributing to higher engagement and reliability. Technologies demonstrated: API development, Hasura triggers, Pulumi, Resend integration, Lambda@Edge, and Open Graph meta tags.

No major bugs reported this month for this repository; focus was on high-impact feature delivery and code quality.
