  1. Postmortem

    **Impact Summary**  Between **October 22, 2025** and **October 28, 2025**, an issue with the Lever email-message-edito**r** component caused the email body to be unintentionally cleared in several workflows, including the interview scheduler and offer edito**r**. As a result, emails may have been sent without any body content, potentially leading to confusion or miscommunication with candidates and stakeholders.   \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ **Root Cause**  An update was introduced to support upcoming functionality for the Candidate Transparency feature. This change altered how the email-message-editor initialized its content:   \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ **Resolution**  * On **October 27, 2025**, the issue was identified and diagnosed.  * A fix was implemented to restore the original behavior.  * The fix was deployed to production on **October 28, 2025 at 17:11 ET**, restoring expected functionality.   \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_  **Preventative Actions**  To prevent similar issues in the future, improved regression testing will be implemented for shared components like the email-message-editor.
