Highlights
What this release added
- Automated the 24-hour staging soak through the jobs runner with cron scheduling, artifact reports, and Slack alerts so Ops get daily Labs coverage without manual kickoff.
- Surfaced weekly Labs S3/OCR spend, telemetry freshness, and partner export usage on the admin analytics dashboards to keep Growth and Labs watchers informed.
- Added a Product Analytics entry point to the admin console so teams can reach the new analytics dashboards quickly.
Fixes
What this release corrected
- Hardened the staging soak script with retry/backoff when fetching metrics and enriched the stored artifacts with analytics snapshot context.
- Updated ops runbooks and backlog entries to document soak automation, Labs spend alerting, and follow-up escalation paths.
Known issues
What remained constrained
- Legacy SMS telemetry automation (`DATA-227`) remains outstanding.
- Preference decay/leaky-bucket tuning for personalization boosts and chat tone QA sign-off remain on the backlog.
