Michael added a project to T401005: Investigate Production Errors from ComputedUserImpactLookup::getPageViewData: MW-1.46-notes (1.46.0-wmf.5; 2025-12-02).

Not sure why that tag was missing here. Once the train has been fully rolled out, I think we can close the directly related 4 parent production errors as they should no longer happen.

Michael closed T410907: Investigate unexpected connection to master during Revise Tone deployment as Invalid.

From looking at the stack trace in logstash for all related events (3), they all do not include GrowthExperiments. If I were to guess, I would suspect the MediaWiki-extensions-ReadingLists as the cause. Either way, it is unrelated to our deployment which seems fine.

Michael added a comment to T372465: Make it possible to opt out of LibUp automatic .eslintrc.json edits.

I wonder if it would be possible to have an eslint js config file that then reads in a file named ".eslintLibUpOverrides.json" to optionally disable some rules. And only that file is edited by LibUp.
I see two main advantages:

we clearly know when a rule was disabled by LibUp because that file ought to always be essentially empty
we work around the eslint 9 upgrade blocker that it does not support .json config files anymore

Michael moved T407538: Clear weighted tag if user reports false positive or on error from Code Review to Test in Production on the Growth-Team (FY2025-26 Q2 Sprint 4) board.

This cannot be tested in beta, because we're not relying on weighted tags in the search index there.

I need to confirm whether a user who selects revise tone, unselects it, then reselects it again, is still meant to have revise tone as the first suggestion? I noted that this wasn't the case when I followed that pattern. Reloading the page seems to fix this and set the revise tone as the first task.

Was this cleared with the SREs? According to https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Kubernetes/Clusters#staging:

Other uses of this cluster [staging] than the one described above (e.g. as a development environment, a CI runner, a quality assurance platform or a demo scene to name a few) MUST NOT be allowed.

The proposed usecase seems to fall under a "quality assurance platform" and/or "a demo scene" and as such, it appears to be explicitly prohibited by the policy above.
