I cannot figure out what is the source of the problem in [ECOM > Create a course seat] > After creating course I am not able to open its detail page · Issue #301 · openedx/wg-build-test-release · GitHub
I can reproduce the problem, but the COURSE_ID_REGEX seems to validate the course session ending with 2000.02.

Still need someone with merge rights on opaque-keys to approve fix: type hints weren't installed properly, add type hints for Django Fields by bradenmacdonald · Pull Request #259 · openedx/opaque-keys · GitHub Braden
The gradebook MFE is broken (in master). We were able to fix it for our deployment by cherry-picking this open PR: fix: replace Field.Email reference for Field.Text by dcoa · Pull Request #345 · openedx/frontend-app-gradebook · GitHub Are there any core contributors with write permission on frontend-app-gradebook who could review?
We need a review of this frontend-app-learner-dashboard PR that fixes a branding issue: fix: get brand logo file path from env by shahbaz-shabbir05 · Pull Request #205 · openedx/frontend-app-learner-dashboard · GitHub (this will be necessary before we default this MFE to be on in the next release)
