Databook

This update finalizes the design system strategy for Databook, establishing it as the primary source for design tokens rather than a consumer of the external package. The project's public developer documentation has been updated to clarify this relationship and document the automated parity checks that keep the systems aligned.

Fixed a bug in the search function that prevented people from appearing in search results and navbar suggestions. Search queries for individuals will now correctly return matching people from the database.

This update significantly improves the performance of the global search feature for contracts and solicitations. By fixing missing search indexes, search query response times for these datasets have been reduced from over 400 milliseconds to under 17 milliseconds.

This update adds an annual spending chart to the digital reform licenses page, showing actual cash paid rather than awarded contract values. It details $864.6M in payments from FY2013 to FY2026, and includes public-facing caveats explaining why these figures represent a baseline floor rather than total citywide expenditures.

We have merged the two separate software license tables into a single, comprehensive table of all 814 product families. Users can now search, paginate, and sort the data by every column, filter specifically for fragmented contracts, and click expiring contract counts to view them directly in the Renewal Queue.

Fixed an issue in the daily briefing that was omitting new vendors from the report. Also resolved a bug on the agency pages that caused certain vendors to be listed multiple times.
