Mar 1, 2026March 2026: Delivered a robust End-to-End Testing Framework with comprehensive checkout and pricing scenarios, implemented major Checkout UX improvements (currency handling, tax-inclusive pricing, UI alignment), and launched Box UI components integrated into downloads and onboarding. Advanced onboarding with V2, analytics, and gating behind authentication significantly improved activation flow. Substantial code-quality and tooling upgrades (ESLint rollout across Orbit/i18n/currency, migration from Prettier to Oxfmt, CI-on-warnings) reduced risk and improved maintainability. Reliability improvements to E2E tests reduced flaky scenarios, while a broad set of bug fixes stabilized onboarding, UI, and API surfaces.
