  ## API playground improvements

  - Fixed issue where response section would disappear when switching between endpoints with different response codes. The playground now properly resets to the first available response code when navigating to a new endpoint.
  - Fixed double "Authorization" header display in HTTP Basic authentication schemes. The authentication section now shows a cleaner interface with proper field labels and descriptions.

  ## Performance and build optimizations

  - MDX transpilation now happens at deployment time instead of on every page load in uncached NextJS serverless environments, improving time to first byte for uncached pages.
  - Content-based hashing prevents re-transpilation when MDX hasn't changed, reducing update workflow times by ~50% for customers with large page counts (deployments over 5 minutes should be roughly halved)
  - Preview deployment viewing in the dashboard is now faster with added database indexes and query parallelization in our backend
  - Reduced page size by eliminating duplicate `navigation` data in each page's `rsc` payload—performance gains most noticeable with high page counts or complex navigation structures
  - More aggressive prefetching enables instant page loads more frequently
