— Week of Mar 10

What shipped, what's moving, and one decision we need from the room before the Birchline 2.4 cut.

Friday demo 6 slides ~4 min

Shipped this week

Three things out the door

Bulk task import

CSV and JSON uploads now land straight into a board with column mapping — no more paste-and-pray.

#4211
Webhook retries v2

Exponential backoff with jitter; dead-letter queue surfaces in the workspace admin panel.

#4188 #4203
Postgres 16 migration

All read replicas cut over Tuesday night; zero customer-facing downtime, ~9% faster aggregate queries.

#4179

In progress

Recurring tasks engine ~70%

Scheduler and RRULE parsing are done; remaining work is the timezone edge cases and the "skip holidays" toggle.
Audit log export ~35%

Streaming NDJSON endpoint is up behind a flag; still wiring the S3 destination picker and retention policy UI.

Metrics

API p95 latency

184ms

↓ 12% wk/wk

Background job error rate

0.21%

↓ 0.08pp

p95 latency, trailing 8 days — lower is better

Decision needed

Do we ship recurring tasks behind a workspace flag in 2.4, or hold one more week for the timezone fixes?

Flagged rollout gets it to design partners Friday but means two code paths for ~2 weeks. Holding keeps a single path but slips the partner promise.

A — Flag it, ship Friday B — Hold for 2.5

Next week

Finish recurring tasks — timezone matrix tests, then dogfood on the internal ops board.
Audit log export to private beta — three workspaces lined up.
Start scoping rate-limit headers for the public API; RFC draft by Thursday.
