In July 2025, Jokul underwent a major design-system modernization and reliability uplift. We completed a library-wide cleanup by removing deprecated components, migrating to new building blocks (ExpandablePanel and Card), and standardizing root-level exports. Typography and spacing tokens were refreshed for consistency, and PR workflows were tightened to improve review quality and release hygiene. In parallel, we fixed edge-month navigation in the date picker and introduced a demonstration story for max/min date constraints, strengthening UX predictability and testability. The combined work reduces technical debt, accelerates onboarding, and positions Jokul for faster, safer feature delivery across products.
