June 2025 monthly summary focusing on key accomplishments, with a cross-repo delivery of a new robot-part lookup feature and supporting TypeScript SDK integration. Delivered a targeted lookup endpoint for robot parts by name and location, with API proto/gRPC updates and corresponding SDK support. No major customer-facing bugs fixed this period; stability maintained and CI validated across repositories. Overall impact reflects improved maintenance tooling, faster part lookups, and stronger API/SDK consistency.

Month: May 2025. Key features delivered include API enhancements to link modules with applications and tooling improvements in the Module Management domain. Specifically, the API added an apps field across ModuleVersion, ModuleMetadata, UpdateModuleMetadata, Module, and VersionHistory protobuf messages to enable associating Applications with Modules, improving API expressiveness and data linkage. In viamrobotics/rdk, module commands now support apps and the validation logic was refined to handle modules that contain only apps (no models).

January 2025 performance summary: Delivered two high-impact features across viamrobotics/api and viamrobotics/rdk with a focus on maintainability, consistency, and streamlined authentication workflows. Standardized Billing Cost Types Enum naming by removing the ML_ prefix to align with code-generation outputs, improving clarity and reducing ambiguity for downstream services. Migrated the CLI to oauth-app authentication commands and deprecated legacy auth-app functionality, unifying the authentication surface and removing outdated code, flags, and tests. These efforts reduce technical debt, strengthen code quality, and enable faster onboarding and safer future changes across the codebase.

December 2024 monthly summary for viamrobotics/rdk: Delivered Organization Logo URL Retrieval feature, introducing a new AppClient method and CLI action to fetch an organization's logo URL. Implemented robust error handling for missing organization IDs and validation for empty logo URLs. All changes are encapsulated in commit 2c89ae347b5dfd832a43190077826790b4d35345. This work enhances branding consistency across UI components and reduces user errors, enabling seamless logo display in client applications.

Month: 2024-11 | Repos: viamrobotics/api. Delivered a key feature: Billing API Simplification by removing the billing_support_email from UpdateBillingServiceRequest and consolidating on a shared support email for both billing and authentication. Updated JS/TS definitions to reflect the removal, enabling a smoother migration for clients and reducing API surface area. This work enhances cross-team support alignment and reduces client configuration overhead. Change tracked in APP-6158: Remove billing support email in favor of shared support email between billing and auth (#583), commit 9586bfc4e49fd15094c7abdd800d578507853361.
