🅱️ Bug Solution

Resolved Missing Library Icons Issue

Some library icons were not appearing correctly due to a rendering issue caused by incorrect asset references and inconsistent caching behavior. The root cause was a mismatch between the expected icon paths and the actual asset locations, compounded by browser caching preventing the latest assets from loading properly. To resolve this, asset references were updated to ensure icons load from the correct paths, cache-busting techniques were implemented to force browsers to fetch the latest assets, and the icon rendering logic was optimized for improved performance and reliability. As a result, library icons now load consistently across all pages without requiring a hard refresh, enhancing the overall user experience.

Resolved MySQL Configuration Issue

The issue causing intermittent database operation failures was due to mismanaged connection pooling, inconsistent query timeouts, and inefficient query execution, leading to unexpected errors under high load. This was resolved by optimizing connection pooling to ensure efficient resource utilization, standardizing query timeout handling to prevent inconsistencies, and refining query execution logic to reduce deadlocks and improve performance. Additionally, enhanced logging and monitoring were implemented to detect and prevent future issues, resulting in more reliable database operations and improved system stability.
