March 2026: Peachjam development delivered a cohesive set of improvements centered on robust content handling, scalable ingestion, and safer workflows. Key HTML pipeline work established a canonical DocumentContent HTML lifecycle (source_html as canonical input, derivation of content_html, and centralized HTML handling) with migrations to support legacy content_html. Admin UI and import workflows were enhanced to edit DocumentContent directly, expanding test coverage for DocumentContent HTML hooks and imports. A major refactor of the DocumentContent model and ingestion consolidated usage, moved context management into DocumentContent, and aligned ingestion paths to write document_content directly while preserving legacy content_html support. Lifecycle hooks were added for save events and HTML behavior; pdf conversion triggering was realigned with SourceFile hooks for more predictable downstream processing. Finally, migration and test infrastructure improvements, including backfills and 30+ new tests, improved reliability and regression safety.
