Dashboard (dashboard/src/dashboard.tsx, settings.tsx, apiAcademicPeriods.ts):
- Refactor loadHolidayStatus to useCallback with stable empty-deps reference;
removes location.pathname dependency that caused overlapping API calls at mount
and left the banner unresolved via request-sequence cancellation
- Add key prop derived from severity:text to Syncfusion MessageComponent to force
remount on state change, fixing stale banner that ignored React prop/children updates
- Correct German transliterated text to proper Umlauts throughout visible UI strings
(fuer -> für, oe -> ö, ae -> ä etc. across dashboard and settings views)
Backend (server/init_academic_periods.py):
- Refactor to idempotent two-phase flow: seed default periods only when table is
empty; on every run activate exactly the non-archived period covering date.today()
- Enforces single-active invariant by deactivating all periods before promoting match
- Emits explicit warning when no period covers current date instead of doing nothing
Deployment (docker-compose.prod.yml):
- Add init_academic_periods.py to server startup chain after migrations and defaults;
eliminates manual post-deploy step to set an active academic period
Release docs:
- program-info.json: bump to 2026.1.0-alpha.16; fix JSON parse error caused by
typographic curly quotes in the new changelog entry
- TECH-CHANGELOG.md: detailed alpha.16 section with root-cause motivation for both
dashboard refactoring decisions (unstable callback ref + Syncfusion stale render)
- DEV-CHANGELOG.md: document dashboard refactor, Syncfusion key fix, Umlaut changes,
and program-info JSON regression and fix
- README.md: add Latest Release Highlights section for alpha.16
- .github/copilot-instructions.md: sync file map, prod bootstrap note, backend and
frontend pattern additions for academic period init and Syncfusion remount pattern
