Good morning team! Just pushed the latest API changes to staging. Can everyone take a look when you get a chance?

Looks great! I tested the authentication flow and everything works smoothly. The response times are much better now. 🚀

I've updated the design specs for the new dashboard. Here's the latest mockup:

The design looks amazing, Emma! One small thing - can we increase the contrast on the sidebar text? It might be hard to read in light mode.

Emma Wilson 10:22 AM

Good catch, James! I'll bump up the contrast ratio. Should have an updated version by this afternoon.

Quick update - the staging deploy is live now. I also fixed that edge case with the token refresh. @Marcus can you verify on your end?

MR
Marcus Rivera 10:48 AM

Just checked - token refresh is working perfectly now. No more 401s on long sessions. Nice work Sarah!

Hey team, reminder that we have the sprint retro at 2pm today. Please add your items to the board before then.

Thanks for the reminder! I've added my items already. Also, can someone review my PR #247? It's the new search feature.

MR
Marcus Rivera 11:30 AM

I'll take a look at that PR after lunch, Sarah. Also wanted to flag - we should probably add rate limiting to the new search endpoint before it goes live.

Good point on rate limiting. I actually have a middleware for that we used on the analytics service - I can share the code.

// RateLimitMiddleware.cs
app.UseRateLimiter(options => {
  options.GlobalLimiter = ...
});

Updated the sidebar contrast - here's the before/after comparison. Let me know if this works better!

That's so much better! The difference is really noticeable in light mode now. Ship it! 🎨

Back from lunch. @Marcus great idea on the rate limiting - let's add that to the sprint backlog. @James can you open a ticket for it?

MR
Marcus Rivera 1:15 PM

Reviewed PR #247 - left a few comments but overall looks solid. Just a couple of edge cases around empty query strings we should handle.
