Sep 1, 2025

September 2025 highlights: Delivered API-level feature management via the Feature Metadata API Evolution in chalk-go, including new Protobuf definitions, service methods to drop feature versions, and end-to-end code generation for client/server. Updated developer docs for vector search to clarify the distance-metric argument and examples of supported metrics, and fixed a date casting bug in HospitalVisit to ensure composite-key string consistency. These changes enable safer feature lifecycle management, improve developer experience, and reduce runtime errors in data pipelines across chalk-go and docs repos.
