November 2024 highlights for highlight-chat-frontend: Alpha-aware backend URL routing introduced via a dedicated URL resolution utility to determine the correct backend URL based on application version. This ensured alpha testers were directed to the staging backend and supported safe handling when window is undefined, enabling effective alpha testing. Additionally, backend URL configuration logic was cleaned up to remove the alpha-staging condition; the app now relies on NEXT_PUBLIC_BACKEND_URL or defaults to localhost, simplifying deployment and reducing misrouting risk. These changes improved alpha testing reliability, deployment predictability, and CI/CD readiness for the repository. Technologies demonstrated include Next.js environment variable handling, SSR-safe code patterns, and testing utilities. Business value: faster, safer alpha validation and lower operational risk for alpha deployments.
