June 2026 monthly summary for sentry-demos/empower: Focus on delivering reliable testing capabilities and sustainable runtime stability. Implemented deterministic error simulation for testing plant advice and information lookups by introducing explicit query parameters and domain-oriented error triggers, replacing in-agent randomness to improve test predictability. Upgraded the App Engine runtime from Node.js 20 to Node.js 22 across all services to avoid end-of-life deployment blockers and align with supported runtimes. This included aligning engines pins and regenerating package-lock files in angular, express, and react services to ensure consistent environments. Also refined error-param mapping in the UI to agent spans and improved clarity in triggers for test scenarios. Overall impact: reduced test flakiness, fewer deployment blockers, and a cleaner, supported runtime baseline. Demonstrated skills in runtime management, deterministic testing approaches, cross-service configuration synchronization, and refactoring for clearer domain logic.
