March 2026 (Solvro/backend-topwr) — Key features delivered and their business value: delivered a robust DAS (Data Access Structure) with entities, schema, and REST endpoints to standardize access patterns, support 1:1 relationships, and enforce improved validation across the data layer. Implemented Calendar Event Visibility Management to empower UI-driven control of events (hide/show) with a dedicated hidden-events table, endpoints to toggle hidden status and fetch hidden IDs, and updated event queries to include hidden status. These changes reduce data inconsistency, enable finer access control, and enhance calendar-related user experiences for downstream consumers.
