Projects

I picked up LRX-43920 today, the widened tax fix I opened yesterday after tracing the QBO sync bug back to a no-tax path the earlier discount fix hadn't covered. I developed and opened the draft PR in monoliph to fall back to No Tax for any line with a zero-tax-component, not just discounts, which closes off that whole family of cases rather than the narrow one we originally tripped over. Alongside it, I opened a companion PR in webregister to backfill tax_components for regular line items so we stop sending an empty array downstream. Both are in draft for now; testing both is today's job.

On the localization side, I opened the ADR for LRX-39139, laying out the two-phase approach for stable Transifex translation keys in monocle. Getting this written down properly matters because translation key churn is one of those problems that looks harmless until you're three languages deep and untangling which string maps to which key. I'm also still waiting on review for LRX-41110, the offline hash validation work that checks reconciled keys against Transifex, also in monocle.

External Requests

I reviewed two PRs from the LSPAY-44706 effort in webregister: #7352, which updates the E2E CNP tests to cover the new CNP Manual Entry button, and #7351, which implements a DelayedTooltip component with fade-in and fade-out animations and wires it into LSPaySplitButton. Small UI polish like that tooltip work is easy to overlook in review, but it's exactly the kind of detail that makes a split button feel trustworthy instead of janky.

I also developed and opened a PR for LRX-43897, adding the missing Retailer fields to the OpenAPI spec in api, PR #727, and merged it. OpenAPI drift is a quiet tax on every integrator who touches that spec, so closing gaps like this one pays off well beyond today.
