Breakdown of growth, maintenance, and fixes effort over time.
Bugs introduced vs. fixed over time.
Reclassifies engineering effort based on bug attribution. Commits that introduced bugs are retrospectively counted as poor investments.
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.
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.

| 9093a60 | This commit **fixes 400 errors** encountered during various **sandbox interactions** within the `vercel-sandbox` package. The issue stemmed from the **incorrect propagation of `privateParams`** (specifically `__includeSystemRoutes`) to sandbox API methods that do not support them, a regression introduced by a previous change. To resolve this, the commit **removes the erroneous `privateParams` handling** from the `api-client` methods and the `Command` and `Sandbox` classes. This ensures correct parameter management across operations such as `runCommand`, `writeFiles`, and `stopSandbox`, significantly improving the **stability and reliability of the sandbox environment**. | Feb 24 | 4 | waste |
| 5b5f488 | This commit introduces a **new capability** to the **Sandbox SDK** and **CLI**, enabling users to specify custom or infinite expiration times for snapshots. The `sandbox.snapshot()` method and the `snapshot` CLI command now accept an `expiration` parameter, which can be set to a duration in milliseconds or `0` for a never-expiring snapshot, overriding the previous default 7-day expiration. This **feature enhancement** provides greater flexibility in managing snapshot lifecycles, allowing for permanent snapshots or precise control over their duration. The change involves updates to the API client, snapshot schema, and related utility functions to support this new expiration logic. | Feb 17 | 8 | grow |
| 5a8e228 | This commit delivers a **bug fix** addressing incorrect column widths in the **CLI's table output**. Previously, tables would render with misaligned columns due to an inaccurate calculation of string lengths, particularly when VT control characters were present. The fix, implemented in `packages/sandbox/src/util/output.ts`, now correctly strips these control characters when determining visible string length, ensuring proper column alignment and padding. This significantly improves the readability and presentation of all **CLI tables** for users. | Feb 12 | 2 | waste |
| 863637e | This commit introduces a **new `aborted` status** for sandboxes, enhancing both the **`sandbox` CLI** and the **`vercel-sandbox` API client**. It updates the `list` command within the `sandbox` CLI to correctly display sandboxes that are in an `aborted` state, alongside `snapshotting`, with appropriate visual indicators. Concurrently, the `Sandbox` Zod schema in the API client is extended to officially recognize `aborted` as a valid status and include an optional `abortedAt` timestamp field. This **new capability** improves the accuracy of sandbox state reporting and ensures robust data validation across the system. | Feb 10 | 3 | grow |
| c9a271e | This commit provides a crucial **documentation update** across the project's READMEs to ensure accuracy and improve user experience.

It provides a **new capability example** through `filesystem-snapshots.ts`, illustrating how to create, list, and interact with these snapshots. This addition serves as a practical guide for developers to understand and implement filesystem snapshot functionality, particularly relevant for platforms like Vercel Sandboxes. The example includes its own `README.md` for detailed instructions and is referenced in the main `examples/README.md`. | Jan 25 | 6 | – |
| 00c960f | This commit **enhances** the **lambda bundling logic** by dynamically adjusting the maximum uncompressed function size threshold based on the runtime. It **reduces the effective limit for the Bun runtime** from 250 MiB to 150 MiB, accounting for Bun's inherent binary size and preventing potential bundling issues. This is achieved by introducing a new `getMaxUncompressedLambdaSize` utility function in `packages/next/src/utils.ts`, which replaces the static `MAX_UNCOMPRESSED_LAMBDA_SIZE` constant. The `getPageLambdaGroups` and `detectLambdaLimitExceeding` functions in `packages/next/src/server-build.ts` now utilize this dynamic limit, ensuring more aggressive function splitting and accurate warnings for **Bun runtime** users. | Oct 31 | 6 | grow |
| 205cba1 | This commit introduces support for the new `/_vercel/ping` endpoint within the **Python runtime**, specifically modifying the `do_POST` function in `vc_init.py`.
