Add boot option: show boot UI only when dragging a picture (soon default)
Adds a new boot option that shows the boot UI only when a user drags an image onto the drop area. Implemented in app/javascript/bundles/changelog/media-upload-receiver.js, introducing drag-detect logic (useDragDetect, onDragEnter/Leave/Drop/Over) and a boot-preference update flow under MediaUploadReceiver. This upcoming default behavior cleans up the initial UI and ties boot visibility to the drag action, with no bug fixes.

v1 historic sparkline above Commit Activity Browser
Adds a responsive, high-contrast long-term sparkline (app/javascript/bundles/cab-viewer/historic-sparkline.js) with date labels, resize handling and styled plotting to the Commit Activity Browser. Fixes Elite history fallback by aligning Elite history to the all-time window and falling back to the entity subscription when a resource subscription is missing; tests and factories updated. Improves long-term activity visibility and restores correct Elite history data.

Add faculty toggle, fix release chart stats, and refactor rebuild APIs to accept injectable logger
Add a faculty-level toggle to disable repository and team aggregation and expose the active aggregation mode. Fix release-driven chart stats by using release-specific metric segments, aligning release timestamps, and deduplicating deploy_committer entries (tests updated). Refactor RebuildResourceTeamStatConcern so rebuild_commit/rebuild_for_release accept an injectable logger and forward it into collect_team_stats/recalculate — improving chart accuracy, per‑faculty control, and rebuild logging.

Add redirect to accessible team when requested team is inaccessible; add resource_team_stats, CommitFactory.create, and tests
Ensure users who request a team they cannot access are redirected to a team they can access by updating the ApplicationResourceConcern (derive_team_and_member). Also add a resource_team_stats association to resources, add CommitFactory.create(tag_name:), and a WIP integration test (test/integration/resource_team_stats_test.rb) to validate aggregate changes. Improves access handling, UX, and team-level stats testability.

Update team switcher to show how many members are on each team
Adds denormalized team member counts and surfaces them in the team switcher. Introduces a TeamExtra migration/model, adds denormalize_team_stats and related methods to TeamMember, and updates Team/TeamExtra so the UI can display per-team member totals. Deployed to production 2025-09-19; users can now see member counts for faster, clearer team selection.

Update Commit#title to v2.0 — enforce sentence cutoff and shuttle overflow to description; add committer_changelog test
Commit title generation (app/models/commit.rb) now enforces a sentence cutoff before TITLE_SENTENCE_CUTOFF_LENGTH (default 60) and moves any remaining characters into the commit description. Added a committer_changelog test to validate the behavior. Impact: keeps changelog titles concise and sentence-complete while preserving overflow text in descriptions and preventing regressions.

Move magnitude selector into ChangelogProps; add heuristics to derive change magnitude/category
Moved magnitude-selector logic from tracker_project_issue.rb into ChangelogProps and implemented derive_magnitude_em with assorted heuristics (vendor/gems/chart_glimpses/.../changelog_props.rb). Minor CommitterChangelog adjustments to consume the new selector. Replaces Diff Delta as the magnitude source and supplies richer magnitude/category metadata for AI-driven blog generation.

Add suppress_aggregation option to reporting API and Chart Settings to disable repo/team aggregation
Introduce a suppress_aggregation flag in the reporting API and wire it through presenter/concern logic so charts can opt out of repo- or team-based aggregation. Changes touch StatScopeAndGrouperConcern, HistoricRepoCommitterStat, API definitions and tests. Exposed via Chart Settings on site, this lets faculty request unaggregated chart data for more precise reporting.

Add CAB drag to improve scroll affordance
Implements drag-based navigation for the CAB date picker by adding a grabber-driven drag flow in CabDatesFrame (renderDate::useGrabber, handleDragStart/Move/End) and corresponding styling updates in cab-dates-frame.scss. Files affected: app/javascript/bundles/cab-viewer/cab-dates-frame.js and cab-dates-frame.scss. The change makes the CAB dates area draggable, improving discoverability and usability of the scroll affordance for end users.

Restore CAB commit-bubble hover explanations; set icon precedence: pending review > dependency/migration > changelog publish > comment
Restore the hover explanation for commit activity bubbles in the CAB and update icon-priority logic so commits pending review take precedence over dependency/migration changes, then changelog publish, then received-comment. Changes touch bubble-hover-tooltip.js (tooltip text/logic) and commit-activity-bubbles-svg.scss (appearance/order). Deployed to production; improves clarity and prevents misleading status icons.

Speed up Commit Activity Browser initial load times by up to 50%
Finish wiring CabActivityCache + test. CAB should load around 10x faster for any large team that accesses CAB from same time zone more than once daily. Coming soon: auto-cache for frequent users before the first visit.

Finish wiring CabActivityCache and tests to speed CAB loading (~10x for repeat same-time-zone access)
Integrated CabActivityCache into the Commit Activity Browser: added cache lookup and bubble_bound JSON wiring (cab_activity_cache.rb, bubble_bound_calculator.rb) and accompanying tests. Cache reuses recent activity per time zone so large teams that access CAB from the same zone more than once daily see ~10x faster loads. Deployed to production; next up: pre-warming auto-cache for frequent users.

Add magnifying Diff Delta review icon sized proportionally to unapproved changes
Adds a magnifying-glass icon to mark Diff Delta items that require review, with the icon size scaled to the amount of unapproved changes. Implemented in the cab-viewer UI (app/javascript/bundles/cab-viewer/cab-defines.js and cab-viewer/commit-activity-bubbles-svg.scss) and supported by the BubblePresenter logic to compute circle radii. Improves visibility of pending reviews and helps reviewers focus on the most impactful diffs.

Add CAB short/long title differentiation with issue IDs; Fix createElement attributes; Improve web-util.js and vendor utilities
This work introduces a real distinction between CAB short and long titles, incorporating issue identifiers into short titles when available, and refines the derive_short_title logic for accuracy. It also fixes a bug in createElement attribute assignment in web-util.js. Additional improvements touch the JavaScript utility library, the commit_activity_browser gem (bubble_presenter_concern.rb), and the gc_util gem (api_utility.rb). Layout updates in _head_tag.html.haml and _footer.html.haml; sub...

Add distinction between short and long CAB titles and include issue IDs in short titles
Add a real short-vs-long title distinction for the Commit Activity Browser: implemented derive_short_title in BubblePresenterConcern to produce concise titles (including issue identifiers when present), updated commit-activity-browser-configurator to surface title options, and a minor cab-tick.js text-position tweak. Result: CAB displays consistent, scan-friendly titles with issue IDs in compact views.
