February 2025: Delivered robust documentation and feature enhancements across authzed/docs and authzed/spicedb, with a clear emphasis on composable schemas, migration safety, and expiration capabilities. Key features delivered include: (1) Composable Schemas System documentation in authzed/docs, detailing modular schema definitions, import syntax, partial declarations and references, and breaking changes, with guidance tied to the lexer and reserved keywords (commits a76511c9, 5b8d65dd, ccda1788). In addition, migration-related notes were added to help teams manage compatibility and overrides (commit e0a43b9a). (2) Migration Compatibility Documentation and Override guidance, documenting startup checks for migration compatibility and how to override mismatches with a CLI flag (commit e0a43b9a51589cf7aba4d8ac8062dbce4291a625). (3) Expiration support in the composable schema DSL for authzed/spicedb, including parsing of use expiration directives, recognizing the expiration trait in type references, and compiler support with error handling for misuse (commits 726aac49203db9e2d274e0a2dd9e9f31471ec584, a70839748cf3d2a19a44519253ffbe03f567e3c1).
