Good day, and welcome to Agora Next Updates for September 10th, 2026.
Today's story is really one continuous fix: a bug in Civic account deletion, and the test debt it uncovered along the way.
Start with PR 1577. Account deletion was failing because burning a membership NFT required a transfer-log query spanning roughly 2.8 million blocks — too large for Goldsky, which rejected it outright. Users saw a generic "failed to burn membership NFT" error with no clear cause. Galo13eth's fix breaks that lookup…
That fix immediately ran into a second problem, covered in PR 1578: unit tests on the civic deploy branch had been failing since mid-August. Five test files broke because recent changes — the Privy login work in PR 1567 and the forum survey tests — call tenant lookup at import or render time without mocking it, and…
The throughline here is test isolation. When branch-specific code — like Civic's tenant handling — diverges from main, it needs its own passing test baseline, not an assumption that main's green checks apply everywhere.
What's next: worth confirming CI is now tracking the civic branch's test status separately, so a repeat of this eight-day blind spot doesn't happen again.
