    postmortem
    A change to the caching mechanism inadvertently omitted our logs backend read-context handling, causing customer log queries to fail. Log ingestion was unaffected, and no logs were lost. To prevent a recurrence, we’ve updated our unit tests to match our production logs backend structure, so changes like this will be caught before release.
