Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added an optional Context search filter to activity feeds, enabling quick filtering by context keys (feature-flagged). The filter is persisted in URLs and supported across subscriber, topic, and context views.
  • Enhanced context interactions: context keys are now clickable to open a read-only drawer, and a new Activity tab is available within the Context drawer.
  • Improved multi-key display with a popover for easier exploration.
• Chores
  • Added feature flag wiring to safely roll out context-based search.

Walkthrough

Adds optional context-based search to activity feeds end-to-end: DTOs, controller with feature flag gating, command/use case propagation, repository query and schema index, dashboard API/types/hooks, and UI components (filters, drawers, lists) updated to read/write a new contextSearch field and render context-driven interactions.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
API DTOs & Controller apps/api/src/app/notifications/dtos/activities-request.dto.ts, apps/api/src/app/notifications/notification.controller.ts	Adds optional contextSearch to request DTO; controller becomes async, injects FeatureFlagsService, gates contextSearch via feature flag, and passes it to GetActivityFeedCommand.
Activity Feed Command & Usecase apps/api/src/app/notifications/usecases/get-activity-feed/get-activity-feed.command.ts, .../get-activity-feed.usecase.ts	Command gains optional contextSearch; use case forwards contextSearch to repository in getFeed call; minor formatting changes.
DAL Repository & Schema libs/dal/src/repositories/notification/notification.repository.ts, libs/dal/src/repositories/notification/notification.schema.ts	getFeed accepts contextSearch and filters by contextKeys (exact on colon, regex otherwise); adds compound index on _environmentId + contextKeys.
Dashboard API & Types/URL State apps/dashboard/src/api/activity.ts, apps/dashboard/src/types/activity.ts, apps/dashboard/src/hooks/use-activity-url-state.ts	Adds contextSearch to filters/types; includes it in requests; parses/persists it in URL state handlers.
Activity UI Filters & Constants apps/dashboard/src/components/activity/activity-filters.tsx, apps/dashboard/src/components/activity/constants.ts	Feature flag check for context search; renders Context filter when enabled; extends props and Fields; defaultActivityFilters includes contextSearch.
Context Drawer & Activity Integrations apps/dashboard/src/components/contexts/context-drawer.tsx, .../context-activity.tsx, .../index.ts	Adds ContextDrawerButton and new ContextActivity view; ContextTabs gains Activity Feed tab; re-exports ContextDrawerButton.
Activity Overview UI apps/dashboard/src/components/activity/components/activity-overview.tsx	Replaces inline context text with ContextDrawerButton; switches multi-key Tooltip to Popover with drawer-backed items.
Contexts Table apps/dashboard/src/components/contexts/context-row.tsx	Simplifies first cell from Badge to span with truncation; no behavior change.
Subscribers/Topics Activity Pages apps/dashboard/src/components/subscribers/subscriber-activity.tsx, apps/dashboard/src/components/topics/topic-activity.tsx	Adds contextSearch to filter state, change detection, and URL params propagation.

Poem

A nibble of context, a hop through the feed,
I twitch my whiskers, searching every need.
Flags flip softly, drawers glide wide—
Keys in the clover where insights hide.
With regex paws and exact-match cheer,
I bound through logs: your rabbit pioneer. 🐇✨
