Seven PRs shipped — most of them fixing things that were silently wrong. Auto-crop removes the black borders that made every composite look like a padded square. Recipes now filter out non-science observations. And the composite pipeline finally routes through the authenticated API client like everything else should have from the start.
A two-part day. Morning: visual polish, bug fixes, and infrastructure cleanup. Afternoon: the recipe engine learned to look at the sky — cross-instrument composites now only combine observations that actually overlap. Plus a 52% main bundle reduction by lazy-loading page routes.
The biggest day yet: 26 pull requests merged — OOM crashes, architecture splits, mosaic pre-computation, composite quality fixes, toast notifications, E2E repairs, a codebase security audit, and a side-by-side comparison that's finally getting closer to NASA. A marathon driven by one target that refused to cooperate.
Finally tackled the search page UI, fixed a View button bug, merged a wave of dependabot updates, optimized Docker build caching, and ran a deep codebase review. Two feature PRs plus a lot of infrastructure work that took longer than expected to get deployed.
Phase 5b kicks off with a roadmap restructure, a full semantic search feature across all three stacks, and the start of a compositing quality spike. Nine pull requests merged — two features, five docs, one refactor, one maintenance.
A slower day between interview prep and wrapping up Phase 5. Four pull requests merged — process cleanup, lint fixes, and a small feature — but the real thread was confronting the quality gap between our composite output and NASA press images.
A marathon session: 19 pull requests merged (7 features, 7 fixes, 2 docs, 1 refactor, 2 maintenance) plus a full roadmap restructure and codebase security audit. Major work on the composite imaging pipeline, then project management in the evening.
Early development — 22 commits before sunrise.
Productive session with 7 pull requests: 5 fixes, 2 maintenance. Security hardening across the stack.
A marathon session: 16 pull requests merged (4 features, 5 fixes, 5 docs, 2 refactors). Major work on the composite imaging pipeline.
