Detailed Changes

Impact: Cumulative leaderboards now prevent indefinite running without distribution windows.What Changed:
  • Open/Cumulative leaderboards now seed as Draft instead of Live, preventing accidental activation without an end date
  • All new cumulative boards require an explicit end date to be set before going live
  • The Shopify app’s leaderboard settings modal now surfaces API error details directly to users (e.g., “Open leaderboard requires an end date”)
  • Updated leaderboard template names: “All Time XP” → “Cumulative XP”, “All Time Challenges” → “Cumulative Challenges” for clarity
  • Enhanced test coverage for leaderboard edge cases (elapsed dates, legacy boards, draft states)
For Store Owners: When creating a cumulative leaderboard in the Shopify admin, you’ll be guided to set an end date. If you try to activate without one, you’ll see a clear error message explaining the requirement.
Impact: Debugging leaderboard issues is faster with specific error context.What Changed:
  • Shopify app now extracts and displays human-readable error messages from the API instead of generic failures
  • Admin token rejection now logs the specific reason (e.g., “expired token”, “invalid signature”) with contextual details for faster troubleshooting
  • Proper HTTP status codes are now preserved through error responses for accurate monitoring and retry logic
Impact: Global admins can seamlessly work across organizations in different regions.What Changed:
  • Fixed a regression where global admin users accessing organizations in different shard locations would be incorrectly rejected
  • Admin token authentication now correctly resolves users regardless of which region their record is stored in
  • Added regression test coverage for cross-region admin access patterns
Impact: Cohesive, up-to-date Nudj branding across all customer-facing surfaces.What Changed:
  • Updated Nudj logo assets across all applications:
    • Admin panel (default logo, light/dark icon variants)
    • User app (favicon, logo variants)
    • Shopify app (icon variants, FAB assets)
    • Games and storybook (brand assets)
    • Marketing site and documentation
    • API public assets
  • Updated favicon across docs site and user app
  • Consistent branding across all properties with improved visual clarity
NJ-2089: Improved integration test concurrency scoping per PR/ref to prevent test flakiness from parallel runs in shared environments.

For Store Managers

​
Leaderboard Configuration Updates

When you create a new Cumulative leaderboard (one that accumulates XP/challenges with no reset):
  1. It starts in Draft mode – You must configure it before activating
  2. Set an end date – When do you want this leaderboard to distribute prizes? (e.g., “December 31, 2026”)
  3. Activate when ready – Once an end date is set, you can move it to Live
  4. Clear error messages – If something fails, you’ll see exactly why (e.g., “Open leaderboard requires an end date”)
Why this change? Cumulative leaderboards without end dates create a support burden — they accumulate indefinitely and never distribute prizes. This ensures every cumulative board you create has a clear payoff date.

​
Better Error Feedback

When a leaderboard configuration fails in the Shopify app, you’ll now see the specific reason instead of a generic error, making it faster to fix.

​
For Shopify Stores

  • Cumulative leaderboards are safer – You’ll be guided through setting an end date when creating one
  • Widget displays updated branding – Fresh Nudj logos across the storefront widget
  • Clearer setup guidance – Error messages now explain exactly what’s needed to activate a leaderboard
