High priority
✅ HogQL batch exports release

- Eventually, monitor load, and try to cache results of count
🟡 Wrap up integration work
✅ Redshift integration
✅ Backend PRs are (almost) ready
✅ Frontend DONE
- Redshift now needs cleanup/migration

⚪ = Not Started 🟡 = In Progress 🟢 = Completed 🔴 = Won't complete 🔵 = AbandonedRetro
Most of the sprint went into the
flag_evaluationspipeline, cohort infrastructure, and flag reliability fixes. Haacked shadow-routed$feature_flag_calledintoflag_evaluations, added observability and cost controls around it, and kept working on removing$feature_flag_calledfrom taxonomy and autocomplete surfaces.Gustavo made major progress decommissioning warpstream-calculated-events and pushed the realtime cohorts effort forward, then started migrating the flags-cache infrastructure to the posthog-app golden chart.
Patricio shipped flag filter validation and rollout-percentage fixes, closed out several cohort correctness bugs, and built the scoped-JWT work that unblocks the PSAK migration's cross-app access investigation.
James continued the HyperCache Rust port, adding shadow-mismatch tracking and cache-builder dashboards, and separately shipped flag lifecycle endpoints as MCP tools.
Matheus advanced both the cohort_membership_changed cutover and the streaming cohort backfill with a large batch of merged PRs.
