May 2026: Shopify/ui-extensions — Key feature delivered was a Documentation Update for Navigation API Sandbox Isolation. The update clarifies per-screen sandbox behavior: each screen runs in its own isolated sandbox; module-level state, closures, and singletons are not shared across screens. It adds a Limitations note and provides guidance on using the state option and the Storage API to pass data between screens. No code changes were released this month. Major bugs fixed: none reported for this repository in May 2026. Overall impact: improves developer onboarding and reduces ambiguity and potential support tickets by documenting sandbox boundaries and recommended data-sharing patterns; aligns with the 2025-10 release and supports smoother integration of UI extensions across screens. Technologies/skills demonstrated: API documentation standards, versioned release notes, documentation tooling, and cross-functional collaboration.
