Engineering notes

Sixty Sitecore items cleared the February window and none came from sitecore.com. What SitecoreAI bundles, what it costs and how fast Pathways migrates all came from personal blogs — one author says outright he never ran the tool.

A thin month. Nine Umbraco items in thirty-one days, no vendor release and no advisory. What landed: uSync 17.0.2 fixing a v13 picker migration defect, the first hands-on Umbraco Compose writeup, and ISO 27001.

Thirteen items worth reading from January 2026 and not one from sitecore.com. Editing hosts in preview, Agentic Studio, custom fields via the Marketplace, and the only hard numbers of the month coming from a 10.4 stress test.

The new Content Hub import/export engine is now the default and existing CI/CD pipelines break. Everything else in December was the community explaining SitecoreAI, Blok, Connect and App Router without a single post from sitecore.com.

Symposium folded XM Cloud, CDP, Personalize, Search and Content Hub into SitecoreAI. 106 items harvested, 14 cited, zero published by the vendor. What is confirmed, what is second-hand, and what to check before signing.

A YAML error that writes a 0 KB resource package and still returns success, the JSS to Content SDK decision, and an agentic product surface explained by practitioners instead of by Sitecore.

Content SDK 1.1 landed and the Experience Editor did not come with it. Every account of that migration in our September 2025 harvest came from a personal blog, not from a vendor page.

Four of the month's eleven Umbraco items are about MCP and AI. An agent built an element type from a single prompt, Umbraco Commerce got an MCP proof-of-concept, and the only post that said anything about who should be allowed to do that was a uSync patch note.
