June 2026 monthly summary for cozy/cozy-libs: Delivered key UX enhancements and branding updates that improve assistant identity, mobile usability, and localization, while resolving UI inconsistencies. Key features delivered include: (1) Assistant Avatar UI and Create-Assistant Icon Improvements: colored AI icon fallback when no custom icon is provided and aligned create-assistant icon with avatar items (commit db3bb42f82723b695594ed061cf725f0a13c7af6). (2) Sidebar and Mobile UI Visual Polish: visual refinements across sidebar and mobile views, including removing blue tint from the sidebar collapse icon, rounding the new-conversation button, removing horizontal padding around the conversation list, widening mobile assistant responses, removing gap between conversation date and divider, and floating the mobile toggle as a translucent chip (commits 82b66055..., ad17aec0..., 14c53ac2..., e17be127..., daf94a8a..., 7bdd1a4b530bb2f0e3ee5cf765552c7b1a116e01). (3) Branding and Localization Updates for AI Models: update model descriptions across languages to reflect accurate branding and model names (commit 2f341602d05b1108f043b51404a940cd64c3a238).

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.
