💡
This sprint focuses on shipping the new editor redesign and stabilizing our mobile sync pipeline. Review the engineering priorities before standup.
Sprint Goals
Our primary objective is to deliver a 10× faster editor while keeping the block model backward-compatible. Secondary work targets reducing mobile sync latency below 120ms p95.
Deliverables
Block renderer rewrite with virtualization for documents over 1,000 blocks
Conflict-free sync layer powered by CRDTs — see Architecture Decisions
Public API for third-party block plugins (beta)
Key Risks
Performance regression on very large documents — virtualization may break block-level copy/paste semantics.
Mitigation: keep a virtualized window of ±50 blocks around the caret and fall back to full render under 500 blocks.
Third-party plugin sandboxing — untrusted blocks could execute arbitrary DOM mutations.

Timeline
⚠️
Feature freeze is Jan 24. Anything merged after that date rolls into the v3.1 patch cycle.
We're holding a dry-run of the migration on staging every Friday at 2pm. Owners should update this tracker after each run.
Milestones
CRDT prototype passed all conflict-resolution benchmarks on Dec 18. Shipping to production this sprint.
Type /callout to add a highlighted note, or /toggle for collapsible sections. The block menu is the fastest way to build structure.
