August 2025: Delivered a critical frontend reliability fix in the MES-Website-App-Router to ensure long-duration bookings render correctly on the booking timeline. By expanding BookingHeightClasses to include additional height variants, the UI now displays bookings longer than 4.5 hours accurately, aligning the visual timeline with actual data. This change improves data visibility, reduces user confusion, and lowers support inquiries related to booking display.
