Month: 2025-10 — neo4j/graphql-toolbox. This period was stability-focused with no new user-facing features delivered. A temporary workaround was implemented to prevent a browser crash caused by the @codemirror/lint dependency by excluding it from runtime dependencies. No code changes were required; the workaround will be revisited in a future update. The change maintains UX stability while we plan a proper fix. Key achievements include maintaining browser stability and documenting the workaround for future rework, along with a clear rollback/revisit plan.
