Mar 1, 2026

March 2026 performance summary for sillsdev/web-xforge focuses on delivering a more capable editorial workflow, stronger security controls, and improved developer tooling. Key features delivered include: (1) Draft Import and Management – end-to-end improvements with a wizard, last-selected draft target project persistence, access warnings, admin draft permission handling, note import with tag changes, and targeted UI tweaks; safeguards prevent applying drafts to projects without write access, and admins can apply drafts to books they do not own. (2) Security Hardening and Access Control – log sanitization, null checks, and permission checks for real-time (SignalR) notifications, plus authentication enforcement for real-time delivery. (3) Tooling and Dependency Upgrades – updated code formatting, UI tooling, and libraries (CSharpier 1.2.6, Storybook 10.2.14, npm 11.11.0) and resolved dependabot alerts to improve quality and security. Major bugs fixed include Project Progress calculations excluding deleted books and ensuring active books with operations are counted; and Text Editing reliability by restricting cut operations to valid selections within a single segment. Overall impact: faster, safer authoring workflows; reduced risk in draft applications; improved stability and maintainability through better tooling and dependency hygiene. Technologies/skills demonstrated: .NET authentication and access control, SignalR security, TypeScript/React frontend with Storybook, npm tooling, CodeQL remediation, and cross-language tooling coordination.
