Dec 1, 2025December 2025 summary for facebook/sapling focused on a UX bug fix that prevents accidental commit selection when copying diff numbers from ISL. Implemented event.stopPropagation() in the DiffNumber onClick to stop click event bubbling, aligning with existing click patterns in commits (e.g., Goto button, OpenCommitInfoButton) and reducing user error. The change is small, localized, and improves reliability of the copy workflow with minimal risk to existing functionality. Ticket references: T248278539; Differential Revision: D89572436.

Oct 1, 2025October 2025 — SAPLING delivered OSS-safe upsell controls, DVSC prompts, and a refactored smart actions framework with GK-driven rollout, boosting code-review discoverability and reducing OSS policy risk. Business value delivered through: safer upsell rendering (no upsell on public commits, and during review), improved Devmate integration with context-aware prompts, VS Code–specific DVSC UX, and a unified, maintainable smart actions UI with MRU caching and faster feature-flag handling. Also tightened UI navigation for reviews and added descriptive tooltips to help users understand actions.
