How it works

Methodology

Investment Quality reclassifies engineering effort based on bug attribution data. Commits identified as buggy origins (those that introduced bugs later fixed by someone) have their grow and maintenance time moved into the Wasted Time category. Their waste (fix commits) remains counted as productive. All other commits retain their standard classification: grow is productive, maintenance is maintenance, and waste (fixes) is productive.

Relationship to Growth / Maintenance / Fixes

The standard model classifies commits as Growth, Maintenance, or Fixes. Investment Quality adds a quality lens: a commit that introduced a bug is retrospectively counted as a poor investment — the engineering time spent on it was wasted because it ultimately required additional fix work. Fix commits (Fixes in the standard model) are reframed as productive, because fixing bugs is valuable work.

Proposed API Endpoint

Currently computed client-side from commit and bug attribution data. Ideal server-side endpoint:

POST /v1/organizations/{orgId}/investment-quality
Content-Type: application/json

Request:

  "endTime": "2025-12-31T23:59:59Z",
  "bucketSize": "BUCKET_SIZE_MONTH",
  "groupBy": ["repository_id" | "deliverer_email"]

21ff476This commit introduces **new CLI commands** to the **`@vercel/cli`** for comprehensive **microfrontend group management**. Users can now **create, delete, add projects to, and remove projects from microfrontend groups** directly via the command line using `vc microfrontends create-group`, `add-to-group`, `remove-from-group`, and `delete-group`. This **new capability** provides a developer-centric workflow, allowing local configuration of `microfrontends.json` interactively for `create-group` and reducing reliance on the UI for setup and ongoing management. Additionally, a minor **refactoring** centralizes the `openUrlInBrowserCommand` utility function across the CLI.Mar 2019grow
e7422ffThis commit introduces **new helper functions** (`matchers.header`, `matchers.cookie`, `matchers.query`, `matchers.host`) within the **`@vercel/config`** package to streamline the definition of `has` and `missing` conditions for **routing rules**. These functions serve as a **developer experience enhancement**, reducing boilerplate by providing a more ergonomic way to construct `Condition` objects in configuration files. This **new capability** simplifies the creation of complex routing logic, making configurations cleaner and more readable. The change is fully backward compatible, ensuring existing raw `Condition` object definitions continue to function as before, with updated examples demonstrating the new, simplified syntax.Feb 184grow
9ba1601This commit **adds new documentation** to the **Vercel CLI** project, introducing `packages/cli/AGENTS.md`. This new guide provides essential instructions and best practices specifically for **coding agents** that are designed to create or modify CLI commands. The **documentation addition** aims to ensure consistency and adherence to conventions for AI-generated contributions to the CLI. This **maintenance** task also updates `packages/cli/CLAUDE.md` to reference the newly created `AGENTS.md` file, streamlining guidance for agent development.Feb 93maint
8f1dab5This commit introduces a **new capability** to the **Vercel CLI**, significantly enhancing the `vercel rolling-release configure` command. It now provides **interactive and flag-based configuration** for rolling releases, removing the previous requirement for users to manually craft JSON. This **usability improvement** allows users to easily enable/disable rolling releases, define advancement types, and specify deployment stages directly via new CLI flags such as `--enable`, `--advancement-type`, and `--stage`, or through an interactive prompt. The core logic for parsing and validating these configurations is implemented in `configure-rolling-release.ts`, and new telemetry tracks the usage of these flags, ultimately simplifying the management of rolling deployments for all users.Feb 96grow
2aa8c67This commit **enhances the Vercel CLI's user experience** by making the `redirects` command discoverable in the top-level help output. It **fixes a discoverability issue** where `vercel -h` previously omitted the `redirects` command, preventing users from easily finding it. This **CLI feature enhancement** updates the `packages/cli/src/args.ts` module to include `redirects` in the help message, improving **user guidance** and command awareness. The change is reflected in updated snapshot tests for the CLI's help output.Jan 293maint
6ddef7aThis commit introduces a **new feature** to the **Vercel CLI**, adding the `vercel redirects upload` command to facilitate **bulk uploading of redirects**. Users can now upload redirects from CSV or JSON files, with the CLI performing client-side validation, displaying a diff of the changes, and offering a prompt for promotion. This enhancement significantly improves the **redirects management workflow** by providing an efficient way to update large sets of redirects, affecting the `packages/cli` module and its interaction with the Vercel platform. It also includes new utility functions for validation (`validate-redirects.ts`) and updates telemetry to track usage of the new command.Dec 1513grow
a4a74a9This commit introduces a **non-interactive mode** for the `vc redirects add` command within the **CLI's redirect management subsystem**, enabling users to specify redirect properties such as status code, case sensitivity, and query parameter preservation directly via command-line flags. It also **refactors** the `--staged` flag to `--staging` across `redirects` commands and enhances `vc redirects ls --staging` to display a diff of staging redirects against production. Additionally, a **bug fix** is applied to the `isValidUrl` utility function, ensuring correct validation of both relative paths and absolute URLs. These updates collectively improve the **CLI's redirect configuration workflow** and overall user experience.Dec 108grow
5489c2dThis commit introduces a **new capability** to the **Vercel CLI** by adding a comprehensive set of commands for the upcoming **bulk redirects feature**. Users can now manage project-level redirects through `vercel redirects`, including subcommands like `add`, `remove`, `list`, `list-versions`, `promote`, and `restore`. This significantly enhances redirect management by allowing changes independent of deployments, affecting the `packages/cli` module with new command implementations, API utility functions, and extensive unit tests. The feature is currently gated and will display an error until enabled for a team, providing a robust foundation for future redirect management.Dec 429grow
7faa102This commit **enhances** the **`@vercel/routing-utils`** package by **increasing the maximum allowed length for header values** within its routing schemas. Previously, the validation logic limited header values in configuration files like `vercel.json` and `next.config.js` to 4KB. This **feature enhancement** now permits header values up to **32KB**, aligning the internal validation with the Vercel CDN's actual capabilities. Developers can now define more extensive or complex header configurations without encountering validation errors, improving flexibility for advanced routing setups.Nov 132maint
c9d8899This commit introduces a **new capability** to the **Firewall rate limiting** module, enabling the specification of an optional path prefix for rate limit API requests. This feature, configured via an environment variable, is crucial for supporting **microfrontend architectures** and applications that utilize rewrites, ensuring requests are correctly routed to the appropriate backend. The `checkRateLimit` function within `@vercel/firewall` is updated to incorporate this prefix, and new end-to-end tests validate its functionality. This enhancement simplifies integration for complex deployment patterns, particularly when used in conjunction with `@vercel/microfrontends`.Oct 213maint
14a9808This commit **fixes a critical bug** preventing the **microfrontends local development proxy** from starting on **Windows**. Previously, Turborepo attempted to execute `.js` scripts directly, relying on shebangs which are unsupported on Windows, leading to a "not a valid Win32 application" error. The change modifies the **Turborepo task execution logic** within `crates/turborepo-lib/src/task_graph/visitor/command.rs` to explicitly invoke `node` for these scripts. This ensures that **Windows users** can now successfully run `pnpm turbo run dev` in microfrontends repositories, resolving a critical startup failure.Oct 151waste
f706e63This commit introduces a **new feature** to the **Vercel CLI**, enabling it to persist the `projectName` within the local `.vercel/project.json` file. The **project linking and pulling utilities** are updated to store this identifier when a project is linked or its settings are pulled, specifically affecting `linkFolderToProject` and `writeProjectSettings`. This enhancement is crucial for **microfrontends in local development**, as it will facilitate correct configuration discovery and enable more informative error messages.Jul 286maint
2d4365aThis commit **enhances** the **Vercel CLI's `microfrontends pull` command** by modifying its configuration fetching logic.
