May 2026: Focused on MDX v2 styling work in tinacms/tinacms. Key delivery: experimental MDX v2 style attributes as JavaScript objects (commit 10eb19c56b2fde814f68508da89910b60e376ec0) to enable more flexible styling in MDX components. Major rollback: reverted MDX v2 style attributes to string-based styling for background color to maintain stability and compatibility (commit 8106b4820c1573bb3706ea70310499d287827144). Impact: balanced innovation with risk management — introduced flexible styling options while preserving existing workflows and reliability. Skills: MDX v2 concepts, JavaScript object usage for styling, Git-based change management, rapid experimentation and rollback.
