Week of 4/6 - Development Standup Thread #599

[6-Month Roadmap](https://github.com/EqualifyEverything/equalify/issues/577) [Hung Scan Postmortem]( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nSx8ZcpJF-7f45tmRJZL9vz0b8sC43rnByCf5dLDfH8/edit?tab=t.0) [Dev Report - Period ending March 6th](https://equalify.uic.edu/reports/2026-03) [Dev Report - Period ending March 31st](https://equalify.uic.edu/reports/2026-04) # New/Discussion - [ ] Still waiting on RED plugin deployment - [ ] Weird issue: - Scanner->results webhook can be: - OK - Error - but also Error ... Error ... OK - Means Count on errors is tricky/unclear to user: if I scan 50 pages, I could get 40 (or 80!) errors but still have 50 successful scans - Options - OK overrides/drops errors from table: drops data but simplest/does what it says UX. Is first try error data important? - No retry: simplest to understand but uh kinda counter to the goal, which is scanning - Retain but only show "final" errors in UX: most complete but not sure easiest way to implement - [ ] Investigate strange PDF metrics. The `scanStarted` metric is reporting _very_ high numbers of PDF scans, and PDF-heavy audits are showing some very high blocker count numbers. We should look into this! # Outstanding @azdak To Dos: - [x] (Michael 3/5) https://github.com/EqualifyEverything/equalify/issues/589 - [x] (Michael 3/5) #590 Double-check email delivery fix is working - [x] (@azdak proposed 3/17) Add URL count to chart tooltip and scans table - [x] Fix Wordpress plugin - [Review here](https://gist.github.com/azdak/6517b32c200f3e4be4b7ffb95a212ede) - [x] [Service Request SOP](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o_onHA5kJoxX2c2PgIuoUP6UkkZv6FJ6e8Ga6-Sz2K8/edit?usp=sharing) - [x] Review User Documentation from Amanda - [x] Technical Notes (made in doc) - [x] Complete Survey - [x] [Requested changes from RED team](https://github.com/EqualifyEverything/equalify/issues/602) for new WP plugin - [x] [Inconsistent Link Target bug](https://github.com/EqualifyEverything/equalify/issues/601) - [x] [Pagination bug](https://github.com/EqualifyEverything/equalify/issues/603) @heythisischris To Dos: - [ ] (proposed 1/22) Fix URL for prod Hasura - [ ] Coordinate meeting w/ Helen & Michael on documentation workflow AND ask about how Equalify communications are handled, what team is responsible, and how we can properly coordinate updates / FAQ / etc. - [x] Have a conversation with Blake & Dean to separate out PDF costs from Equalify costs in AWS account, also get a sense of what our cost ceiling is, limits, their recommendations, etc. - [x] Work on DB Schema version control and Hasura metadata version control - [ ] Include in CI/CD - [x] Building Chrome extension prototype - [x] Equalify Tech Spec sheet (@heythisischris 3/16) - [x] (roadmap, 3/19) crawl module - [x] add Crawl button to build audit - [x] set up lambda for crawling - [x] sitemapper? crawlee?
