What shipped

- Updated the docker-compose example to use RustFS instead of the unmaintained MinIO for S3-compatible storage [2]. Pull request #2604
- Improved calendar drag test reliability by waiting for write operations to complete before assertions [0]. Pull request #2608
- Corrected the README documentation for the GRIST_ATTACHMENTS_THRESHOLD_MB environment variable [5]. Pull request #2595
- Added focus management helpers for interactive elements that auto-remove when activated [4]. Pull request #2439
- Removed unused code and unimplemented server-side methods [6]. Pull request #2593
Why it matters
This week's changes fix critical issues blocking recent Deno versions and ensure backups are properly reported as enabled in production deployments. The docker-compose update removes a maintenance burden by switching to an actively maintained storage backend.

Fixed Deno 2.9.6 compatibility for the pyodide sandbox. Corrected backups status reporting for external storage. Updated docker-compose to use RustFS instead of unmaintained MinIO.
This week we fixed critical compatibility issues and improved deployment experience. A Deno 2.9.6 update broke sandbox startup, now resolved with explicit command invocation. Backups with external storage (MinIO/S3) now correctly report as enabled. The docker-compose example switched from unmaintained MinIO to RustFS for better long-term support.
