Jul 1, 2025During 2025-07, delivered several business-critical frontend enhancements in DEFRA/cdp-portal-frontend that improved auditability, governance, and user focus. Implemented decommission auditing by passing user ID and DisplayName to the decommission API, added a granular status helper, and updated UI breadcrumbs and auditing views; also hardened repository name validation to prevent typos and invalid inputs. Introduced Prototype entity type support, integrating prototypes in creation flows, service listing, validation, and added dedicated routes/controllers with prototype forms and detail views. Refined the CDP Portal frontend filter to show only Created or Creating items, sharpening focus on active services and test-suites. Strengthened global data integrity with a cross-entity repository name availability check across services, test suites, and repositories using Joi schemas. Updated the feature toggle update flow to support non-authenticated updates via a non-auth fetcher and fetchJson, broadening update capability for non-authenticated scenarios. These changes collectively improve auditable governance, user experience, data integrity, and deployment flexibility.
