Nov 1, 2025November 2025: Delivered focused reliability, data integrity, and UX improvements across the Opentrons app, driving measurable business value in robot operations and imagery workflows. Key features shipped include Livestream and Notification UI Enhancements in secondary windows and server-driven filename handling for image assets, aligning client behavior with server data and design conventions. Major reliability fixes were implemented to keep livestreams in sync on errors, render consistent 'robot is busy' states, and refresh streams when a new run starts, reducing user confusion during critical workflows. UI polish and backend hygiene improved camera UX, icon data typing, and data/file management, reducing edge-case failures and ensuring consistent client/server behavior. These changes collectively lower support costs, improve operator efficiency, and strengthen end-to-end data integrity. Key achievements: - Livestream and Notification UI Enhancements: notifications in secondary windows, livestream during run setup, and livestream duration event. - Server-driven filename handling: populate image filenames using server-generated values via data file metadata endpoints. - Reliability hardening: refetch livestream on non-terminal errors; display consistent robot busy banners; refresh secondary window stream on new run. - Camera/UI polish: default camera usage disabled to prevent unintended usage; correct image filenames in API; camera icon/data improvements with notification support. - Backend/data hygiene: RTP migrations, run data cleanup, deletion of input/output data file associations on run removal, and harmonized error recovery naming.
