🛠️ Updates
- Began working on the final GSoC project report, documenting all implemented features and architectural improvements.
- The PR implementing the Refresh Token flow was successfully merged, completing the authentication upgrade initiated earlier this phase.
- Added, updated, and stabilized multiple test cases across modules to improve backend reliability.
- Throughout the project, key components were completed:
- Authentication Enhancements: refresh tokens, stricter validation, and improved session handling.
- Migration System Fixes: resolved the GIST index down-migration issue and improved migration consistency.
- Similarity Search Feature: implemented fuzzy text matching using Levenshtein + pg_trgm + GIST index to prevent duplicate licenses and obligations.
- Messaging System: partially completed; final polishing will continue after the GSoC period.
- Confirmed plans to continue contributing to LicenseDB after GSoC, especially around messaging, documentation, testing coverage, and backend cleanup.
📝 Summary
This final week marked the completion of major feature sets including authentication, migrations, and similarity search.
With the refresh token system merged and test cases strengthened, the core backend is more stable and robust.
Although the messaging system requires final adjustments, work will continue post-GSoC, along with broader contributions to help LicenseDB evolve further.
