Oct 1, 2025October 2025 (2025-10) highlights include a critical UX bug fix and forward-looking migration documentation for the Kaizen Design System. The Listbox Focus Scroll Prevention fix (commit 8002c2b592a2107ac2e4ec108208481bd486aa64) prevents unwanted page scrolling when focusing listbox items by applying preventScroll: true, delivering a smoother and more accessible user experience. In parallel, migration documentation for Kaizen v3/v4 (commit 5557c55c47ebc0632c6a1aded179bd46758ca43f) provides breaking changes notes, deprecated components, removed props, and structured migration guidance, aligning engineers and design teams for upcoming releases KAIO v3 and v4. Together, these efforts improve stability, accessibility, and readiness for upcoming design-system migrations, supporting faster onboarding and consistent component behavior across apps.
