🚀 Platform Updates | August 8, 2025

Below is a distilled look at everything that shipped across the stack this week—from smarter AI mentor services to smoother ops observability. 👇

🤖 AI & Mentor Services

• Fine-grained Langfuse control: Added a flag to selectively log fake-mentor traffic for load testing while keeping prod mentors signal-free.
• Smarter email mentors: Refactored the email-mentor flow and exposed platform-level toggles so each tenant can decide when (and how) email answers are generated.
• Project-centric collaboration: Rolled out “Projects”, a workspace that lets multiple mentors share context, docs, and chat history for richer multi-agent tutoring.
• At-a-glance mentor insights: New summary task + endpoint delivers daily mentor performance snapshots (usage, cost, sentiment) straight to your dashboards.

💻 Front-End Experience

• Dynamic auth refresh in Mentor AI embed: The React component now pulls user data only after an “auth-expired” event, cutting needless network calls and speeding up load times.

🛠️ Core & API Enhancements

• Stronger Role-Based Access Control: New RbacPermissionMixin applies RBAC only where declared, plus LRU-cached pattern matching for lightning-fast checks.
• Flexible notification engine: Multi-SMTP routing, smarter “From” address selection (learning vs nurturing), and footer updates for 2025 branding.
• Call-service observability: Added a dedicated health-check endpoint, so ops can ping voice/video services independently.

🔧 DevOps & Observability

• Search tuning made easy: Environment variables let you exclude facets or tweak cache TTLs for mentors, prompts, and docs, no code deployments required.
• Grafana hardening: Out-of-the-box basic-auth with configurable admin creds secures your dashboards.
• Credit economy at scale: New worker and settings bundle automate credit issuance, tracking, and spend caps per tenant.
• Adaptive Langfuse sampling: Turn the dial on trace volume with a single env var, perfect for load spikes or budget tuning.
• CloudWatch log streaming: BunkerWeb now pipes container logs directly into AWS CloudWatch for centralized monitoring.
