The period focused on delivering performance, data accuracy, and search quality improvements that drive faster user experiences, more accurate results, and greater stability across platforms. Key features delivered: - cozy-client: Performance Enhancements for Data Loading and UI Rendering: route queries with partialFilter to /data to reduce unnecessary data fetching, and a custom useSelector equality check to prevent re-renders caused by new object references in query results, resulting in faster page loads and better responsiveness. - cozy-client: CozyClient: Correct handling of document relationships in data fetch: individual document processing for relationships, improving accuracy of related data retrieval. - cozy-drive: Drive Search Experience Improvements: upgraded search library and adjusted default doctype ordering to show files first in search results. Major bugs fixed: - cozy-cozy-libs: Search Index Deletion Handling: ensure removed files from the search index after realtime events to prevent persistence of deleted files in search results. - cozy-cozy-libs: RN Flagship App Isolation Against Iframe Instantiation: prevent iframe creation in the React Native environment and mark data proxy services as unavailable to avoid instability. - cozy-cozy-libs: Enhanced and Targeted Search (fixes): address imprecise search results and malformed docs to improve reliability of search outcomes. Overall impact and accomplishments: The month yielded measurable improvements in user-perceived performance, data accuracy, and search reliability. Reduced data fetch overhead led to faster page loads and more responsive interactions. Correct handling of document relationships enhances data integrity for related entities. Robust search enhancements, combined with index and environment stability fixes, translate into more relevant search results, fewer stale entries, and smoother experiences across web and RN applications. A controlled release cadence was maintained with a focused upgrade path for drive search capabilities. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - React performance optimization (custom equality checks in useSelector) and data-fetch routing optimizations. - Robust data relationship resolution in CozyClient. - Search technologies: encoder choice, filtering/ordering capabilities, and null-safe comparisons in DataProxyProvider/SearchEngine. - Real-time index maintenance and platform isolation strategies (iframe prevention in RN). - Release hygiene and version management (Drive 1.78.0).

November 2024 performance highlights across Cozy's client, libraries, stack, and drive. Key features delivered: CozyClient added a dynamic setLinks API to configure links after initialization, enabling runtime linking (PouchLink/StackLink) based on conditions and ensuring onLogin is invoked for existing sessions. Cozy-libs delivered a privacy-preserving, login-aware real-time search with a login-tied local search toggle and post-login subscriptions, enhancing data privacy and reliability. Search infrastructure improvements in cozy-libs include indexing and navigation enhancements with full path support, computed paths, and enriched navigation metadata (secondary URLs, unified subtitle/URL) and the introduction of centralized search UI components by porting from cozy-home to cozy-dataproxy-lib for a consistent cross-app UX. Additionally, performance and stability improvements were implemented: faster indexing, reduced memory footprint via using the client store, forward/reverse tokenization, and dependency upgrades to improve typing and stability. Major bugs fixed: corrections to search path handling (remove file names from paths and restrict path cleaning to files only) and fixes for the apps.hidden flag by upgrading cozy-bar and adjusting CozyDevtools import path. Overall impact and accomplishments: These changes deliver a more flexible and privacy-respecting search experience, faster and more memory-efficient indexing, a consistent cross-app search UI, and improved UX around login and app visibility controls. Technologies/skills demonstrated: advanced TypeScript typing and library upgrades, cross-repo feature delivery, performance optimization, real-time event handling, runtime configuration patterns, and UI component reuse across Cozy projects.
