April 2026: Implemented organization-based access control for Viam Apps across API and RDK, delivering granular per-organization usage control and stronger governance. Added AllowedOrgIDs to App proto in viamrobotics/api and extended Viam Apps metadata (allowedOrgIds in AppBranding/AppComponent) in viamrobotics/rdk. These changes improve security posture, enable easier audits, and align with APP-15692 governance requirements. Commit-level traceability established across both repos.

Monthly summary for 2026-03 focused on the viamrobotics/api repo, highlighting a non-breaking API enhancement that improves configurability and downstream integration with preserved JSON key order.

January 2026: Focused on delivering API ergonomics improvements by adding Organization DefaultFragments support and refactoring FragmentImportList to use DefaultFragments. This work lays groundwork for per-organization default fragment behavior, reduces manual configuration, and improves API organization across multi-org deployments. No major bugs fixed; all changes are feature enhancements and technical debt reduction.

During December 2025, the viamrobotics/api repo delivered two core features focused on reliability, observability, and data management. First, Robot Connectivity Status and Uptime Tracking: introduced an OnlineState enum and SecondsSinceOnline across Robot and PartSummary/RobotPart to monitor connectivity status and uptime, enabling real-time visibility and proactive fault detection. Second, Fragment Import Management Data Structure: added a dedicated data structure to improve handling and utilization of fragment data, simplifying downstream workflows and analytics. These changes were rolled out via coordinated commits across the repo, including APP-9867 updates to OnlineState across RobotPart (#786) and Robots/PartSummary (#787), and APP-14658 for Fragment Imports (#794). The work enhances uptime analytics, reliability, and data processing efficiency, laying the groundwork for future telemetry and monitoring improvements.
