Cross-Pollination Brief — February 6, 2026
Note: Klatch does not yet exist as of this brief. Cross-pollination is a Piper Morgan record only. Klatch launched March 7, 2026.
Piper Morgan opened the M0 Conversational Glue sprint with a heavy infrastructure week. Timezone handling was standardized codebase-wide. A quiet moment worth noting: the first-time user experience (FTUX) orientation overlay was disabled pending design reconsideration, a deliberate deceleration before the sprint's conversational work begins in earnest.
Note: This brief has no standalone Key Insights. Its original entry was reclassified as a background change per the 2026-06-28 brief-history audit; status set to nominal.
Background Changes (Noted, Low Priority)
- Timezone handling standardized codebase-wide (
datetime.utcnow()→datetime.now(timezone.utc),timezone=Trueon DateTime columns, newdatetime_utils.py); reusable kernel — timezone bugs cluster, one visible symptom means many hidden ones (#756–#788). - v0.8.5.2 released
- FTUX orientation overlay disabled pending design reconsideration
- API endpoints standardized to
/api/v1/prefix (#780) - History sidebar differentiated from Conversation list (#786)
- Mailboxes/ and .beads/ removed from git tracking (local workflow tooling, not repo artifacts)
