[tor-project] cohosh's monthly status report, September 2024

[Cecylia Bocovich <cohosh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi! This is my status report for contract work done in September 2024. I 
was AFK for a lot of the month, and spent a lot of my time catching up 
on gitlab reviews and todos.

I also did a bit of work on grant writing to fund Conjure development, 
which ended up falling through, but should hopefully be useful for a 
future application.

# Snowflake

Most of my work on snowflake this month was reviewing or commenting on 
several large merge requests.

https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake/-/merge_requests/381
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake/-/merge_requests/379

There was a bug in the snowflake web extension that caused us to lose 
more browser proxies.

We also had some upstream library upgrades that caused CI failures. 
These have yet to be fully addressed, but I spent some time narrowing 
down the causes.

# meek

We have some follow up tasks for the meek bridge handover. I reached out 
to the bridge operator to help switch over domains and take care of a 
few remaining tasks.
