Month 2026-03: Focused on delivering security-enhancing features in mozilla/fxa-strapi.

Monthly summary for 2025-11 (mozilla/fxa): Delivered a high-impact session verification accuracy fix through a targeted refactor and cleanup. Separated the legacy 'verified' flag into 'emailVerified' and 'sessionVerified' across endpoints to clarify verification semantics, improve reliability, and ensure correct results for non-2FA/non-Sync sessions. Cleaned up verification logic by removing redundant checks (verificationTokenId and tokenVerified) and eliminated an outdated front-end bandaid, with accompanying docs updates. The changes reduced false positives, improved login consistency across backend and frontend, and strengthened security posture for session handling. Result: more reliable user and RP login experiences, easier future maintenance, and clearer ownership of verification state across the stack.

2025-10: Re-enabled Pocket back-end persistence and Apple migration JWT event support to stabilize Pocket integrations and prepare for seamless Apple migrations. Restored MySQL-based persistence for Pocket client IDs and access tokens, with expiry handling, and added a JWT event flow for Apple migrations. The change, driven by reverting a prior removal, improves data integrity, reduces token expiry risks, and strengthens the migration path for affected users.

July 2025 monthly summary for mozilla/fxa focusing on business value and technical achievements. Key action: revert of the session verification gating on the Settings page to restore user flow following a previous fix. The revert re-enables Settings access but reintroduces potential security/access-control regression, requiring monitoring and risk assessment.
