Sep 1, 2025Month: 2025-09 — CanaryTokens (thinkst/canarytokens) focused on UI polish and data accuracy. Implemented a precise UI bug fix in AssetCategoryCard.vue to correct the decoy count display, changing the label from 'Totaly decoys' to 'Total decoys'. This fix enhances user trust by ensuring accurate decoy metrics and reduces potential confusion for security operators. The change was delivered through a targeted frontend update (commit b213a58114398e64a2b31b2f3360d6e64d9f59db) and aligns with the repo's Vue-based UI patterns and AWS infra generation context. No breaking changes; maintains consistency with existing UI components and patterns.
