September 2025 monthly summary for dialpad/dialtone. Focused on UX localization, accessibility, and developer experience improvements across the UI components, along with automation and tooling upgrades to streamline releases and docs. Delivered user-visible feature refinements, reliability fixes, and extended documentation and release pipelines that collectively improve internationalization, accessibility, stability, and time-to-release. Key feature deliveries: - Emoji row reaction label localization and display improvements across Vue 2 and Vue 3, including singular/plural handling, current-user inclusion, consistent rendering, and standardized emoji skeleton size and tooltips. - Dialtone Combinator: refactor with updated styles, docs, code examples, copy buttons, and improved option bar/renderer. - Release automation and workflow improvements: semantic-release configuration for dialtone-mcp-server and refined GitHub Actions workflow to publish the VS Code extension only on stable semantic versions. - Documentation cleanup and infrastructure improvements: remove unused components, optimize data fetching for docs, and simplify navigation by using page paths directly. - Build and tooling updates: upgrade ESLint plugins, fix PostCSS rules, and align Storybook React version. Major bug fixes: - Split-button dropdown bug fix: render dt-dropdown only when the dropdown slot is defined, restoring expected dropdown behavior. - Pagination component accessibility and rendering fix: ensure active page updates with total pages, add ARIA label, and render pagination only when there are pages to display.
