Running the loop
Build log - newest first.
The meepolabs.com homepage used to feel like several demos stacked on one page. It is now one view of the lab in motion: every product is reachable before JavaScript wakes up, the week's work is grouped for scanning, and motion, touch, empty feeds, and failed feeds each have an honest fallback.
A quiet feed and a broken one used to look the same. meepolabs.com now keeps the last verified activity and marks the feed paused when a read fails, retries with a bound and backoff, and leaves an honestly empty feed empty.
routectl now treats partial account trouble as routing capacity, not a single unhealthy light. In production, two expired seats were parked while the rest kept serving; status and doctor show which seats can take a request, how many remain, how long each has been out, and the login command that brings it back without a restart.
routectl had retry, breaker, and timeout settings that could mean different things depending on which code path read them. It now resolves one value per seat, shows where that value came from, and applies changed gates only after a reload succeeds; breakers are on by default and attempts stop at three.
I drove Gubbi's browser extension through a real Chrome and Firefox account: 180 conversations arrived, the journal grew from 87 to 495 entries, and disconnect/re-pair sent the same history without duplicates. The useful result is the rough edges: two unusual chats were skipped, and a Team workspace slipped past the personal-only boundary.
Our backup uploader had retries enabled, but a refused upload could still be single-shot because the encrypted object arrived as a stream. It now buffers smaller objects before upload, so the client knows their size and can retry the whole object; larger uploads still retry part by part.
Gubbi's shared security sweep turned a family-wide red check into dependency fixes across five codebases; one model-client upgrade also needed a compatibility repair and a bounded decoder walk, because a green scanner is not a working product. Its three private apps now run CI on our own runner too, with manual runs kept separate from pushes.
routectl used to walk the same fallback policy three ways: regular replies, streams, and token counts. I replaced them with one dispatch path, then found the drift the duplication had been hiding: missing deadlines, false provider failures, and cancelled streams counted as upstream outcomes.
