April 2026 monthly summary for get-convex/convex-backend: Delivered AI Files Handling Refactor separating configuration and state management to unify semantics across setup, status, and enable/disable, while preserving backward compatibility. Merged mainline with the refactor and resolved conflicts; gate for setup now controlled by isInInteractiveTerminal() and aiFiles.enabled is the canonical config field; legacy disableStalenessMessage preserved for compatibility. Expanded test coverage (Vitest) and CI validations to ensure stability of AI-files workflow. Technical emphasis on maintainability, clarity, and reliability; business value includes more predictable AI-file state, reduced risk of misconfiguration, and faster onboarding for new developers.

Mar 1, 2026

March 2026 focused on delivering AI-assisted development capabilities and hardening the developer experience for Convex backend. Key features include an AI Context and Coding Assistants Integration with a new AI-files workflow that auto-generates AI context in new projects, scaffolds AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md, and maintains a state file (ai-files.state.json) to protect user edits. Also delivered AI Files UX and Configuration Improvements: safer setup flow (no residual config when declined), agent-mode prompt handling, modular AI components, and a new aiFiles.enabled toggle to opt out of prompts and staleness checks, with accompanying CLI/docs updates. Major bug fix: CI stability improvements for the /v1/guidelines test by silencing expected error logs while still asserting the error path. Overall impact: faster onboarding and higher-quality AI-assisted development, more reliable CI, and safer, configurable AI context provisioning. Technologies/skills demonstrated: CLI extension development, content-hash safeguards to prevent overwriting user edits, non-interactive mode handling, test-driven improvements (Vitest), and integration with agent skills groundwork.
