Product area: Mentoring and Coaching (Unified Talent)

Summary

This release focuses on syncing mentoring hours to Professional Learning (PL), along with usability improvements and defect fixes across key workflows. Highlights include:

Infrastructure to support nightly sync of check-in time to PL transcripts, gated by an Admin Configuration toggle and feature flag.
Admin UI enhancement introducing an “Integrations” tab with a clear on/off control for the nightly transfer-credit sync and explanatory messaging.
Resolved issues impacting application loading, CSV user uploads, transcript sync errors, and mentee access to in-progress AI transcript check-ins.
Role management UX updates: clearer “View Users” drawer pagination and deactivated users toggle text improvements.
Cloud security hygiene: completion of the MAC cloud access key rotation task.

Key work items

Reference	Type	Details

MAC-2238	Bug	Page Load: resolved app stuck-on-loading by correcting staging deployment pointer and addressing setup dependencies.
MAC-2243	Bug	Bulk CSV Upload: fixed server error when uploading user list; guidance added for PL primary location prerequisite.
MAC-2244	Bug	Transcript sync: nightly sync errors resolved by adding missing DynamoDB index and backfilling; successful runs validated.
MAC-2084	User Story	Admin Configuration: new “Integrations” tab with “Enable Transfer Credit Nightly Sync Job” toggle and explanatory UI messaging.
MAC-2085	User Story	Backend: DynamoDB flags and nightly sync state machine to upload check-ins to PL; batching, idempotency, and observability included.
MAC-2099	User Story	Pre-send configuration check decision recorded: PL stores submissions but requires PL configuration for credit generation; documented approach.
MAC-2181	User Story	Role Management: “View Users” drawer pagination improvements (page size selector, disabled chevrons/single-page hide) for clearer navigation.
MAC-2207	User Story	Security: MAC cloud access key rotation completed per org-wide credential hygiene initiative.

Details and impact

Mentoring hours sync to Professional Learning

Admin can enable/disable the transfer-credit nightly sync via the new Integrations tab; only new check-ins after enablement are queued for sync.
Nightly job queries unsynced check-ins, posts to PL, and marks successful uploads to prevent duplicates.
Operational safeguards: pagination, batching, idempotency, logging/metrics, and partial-failure handling.

Quality fixes and usability improvements

Resolved app loading regression in staging by correcting deployment target and validating environment prerequisites.
Restored mentee access to in-progress AI transcripts when “start check-in” is permitted.
CSV user upload reliability improved; surfaced prerequisite guidance (PL primary location).
“View Users” pagination made clearer: page-size options, disabled chevrons at bounds, and no pagination when a single page.
Deactivated user toggles now communicate status without suggesting zero results by default.

Known considerations

Credit generation in PL depends on PL-side configuration. When configuration is incomplete, records are stored but credits are not generated until setup is finished.
Coaching vs. Mentoring labeling for PL sync may continue to be generalized in early iterations; future
