Nov 1, 2024November 2024: Delivered two major backoffice/API enhancements in inspirehep/inspirehep, improving reliability, error visibility, and editor UX. Implemented validation-aware Author Details API with extended retrieval and error reporting, expanded test coverage; introduced cookie-based backoffice authentication, editor DOM utilities (height sizing and before-unload prompts), and a CSRF-free API middleware to streamline endpoint usage. Also fixed backoffice record handling and tightened API access by adjusting CSRF policy. Result: stronger business value via more reliable APIs, smoother editor workflows, and reduced regression risk through broader test coverage and improved security posture.
