May 1, 2025

May 2025 monthly summary for chalk-ai/chalk-go focused on enhancing protobuf-based graph and chart capabilities to strengthen query planning, observability, and access control. Delivered OverlayGraph-enabled protobuf enhancements, expanded chart metric kinds to monitor stream lag and usage, and completed proto codegen to maintain consistency across the codebase. Fixed v1/branches/start permissions through a raw descriptor update to ensure correct access without functional changes. These efforts improve data-driven decision-making, reduce risk in deployments, and set the stage for improved reliability and performance monitoring.

April 2025 (chalk-go): Delivered protobuf-driven enhancements focused on debugging, traceability, and feature governance. Changes include adding SourceFileReference to captured global protos to link globals to source files, and introducing Feature Validation Definitions with new validation types (arrows, contains) while deprecating older numeric validations. These deliveries improve debugging efficiency, data integrity, and governance of feature properties, enabling faster issue resolution and more reliable releases.
