Added exponential-backoff retries to the download_csv function for transient upstream errors and timeouts. This safety measure triggers only before the first row is yielded to prevent duplicate data.
Integrated Sentry error tracking to monitor application performance and catch runtime issues.
Fixed 13 broken dataset configurations that were identified by the newly implemented live contract audit. This update ensures data integrity and resolves configuration errors across the affected datasets.
Refactored district point layers, FDNY columns, and SSR reads, while fixing canvas performance, tooltips, and component duplication. Enhanced security by pinning proxy origins, clamping endpoint limits, and validating auth callback tokens.
Fixed a staging timeout issue by injecting a 200-record limit into the fire dispatch proxy. This prevents the application from timing out during data retrieval.
Optimized the isometric map rendering process by implementing a Canvas overlay. This change improves the performance and loading speed of the map visualization.
