July 2025 monthly summary for internet-identity-labs/identitykit. Focused on delivering core signer discovery improvements and robust II transport behavior to strengthen signing workflows and user experience. Key features delivered: - Signer Discovery Enhancements: added ability to exclude specific browser extensions from being discovered as signers via a new provider prop (discoveredSignersIdsToExclude) and introduced a useDiscoveredSigners hook with updated context to expose discovered signers for managing multiple signing methods. Commits: 22ab54e2a5614f0dbb47ef228f478a9016357acb; f352752d9931d6f2b026cde5c1eef88832823af8. - II Transport Window Features Propagation: propagate window opener features to the II transport builder to ensure proper popup/new window behavior when establishing II transport connections. Commit: 311f2d5ced6e9c46b075f0ab864936d036667172. Major bugs fixed: - None reported this month. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Enhanced signer discovery reliability and flexibility, reducing false positives from extensions and enabling multi-method signing workflows. - Strengthened II transport reliability and user experience by ensuring correct popup/new window configuration during transport setup. - Clearer tracing with SC issue references in commits, improving maintainability and cross-team collaboration. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - React hooks and context patterns (useDiscoveredSigners, provider-based architecture). - TypeScript/strong typing for signer discovery data and transport configuration. - Integration with II transport infrastructure and browser extension interaction models. - Features delivered with explicit sc- references to support traceability and audits.

June 2025 focused on delivering crypto-swap functionality with robust BTC address management in nfID wallet client, stabilizing IdentityKit authentication reliability, and aligning IdentityKit release docs. These efforts improve user experience, reduce support overhead, and enable scalable swap operations across wallets.

May 2025: Delivered two high-impact, cross-repo features that enhance signer configurability and crypto asset flows. IdentityKit now supports per-signer authentication type configuration, improving flexibility and compatibility with signer capabilities. nfID Wallet Client added a BTC deposit flow with automatic ckBTC conversion, supported by a new monitoring service to issue ckBTC on BTC transfers. These changes reduce integration friction for developers, improve user experience for BTC deposits, and lay groundwork for broader signer-aware security models.
