Configured autovacuum on the guestbookresponse table. It triggered after ~2 days and improved the accuracy of download counts significantly (from several % to <0.1 %). Reporting this in #8840 aiming to recommend this change or automate it.
Setup a storj test on dev, initially uploading random files and then, to make sure full-text-indexing would trigger, small random text/.txt files. So far, using the old DVUploader which updates teh dataset after every file, I've seen one 502 error where I'm coordinating with Dan Willoughby to see if storj can find the source on their end. Overall upload is going very slowly with a few hundred 1 K files in the dataset. I suspect DataCite's test services are as much to blame as storj (an in fact this AM, I'm seeing failures at DataCite that look like load issues.)

Updated to avoid error in full-text-indexing if file has 0 bytes (as one of my 1000 random test files does).

QDAS Previewer
- Investigate allowing selection/deletion of related codes/excerpts/sources, etc.
- Updates per request
- Investigate writing aux file/previewing lower-sensitivity version and/or other write options
AnnoRep - continue to explore/fix docx/pdf github issues
- Deploy updates to dev/stage/prod
Dataverse
- Popup info accessibility - IQSS likes the recommendations from the source I linked to, so this can be implemented along those lines.
- Still want to investigate the guestbook responses re version info not being included.
TBD: FRDR Security
Other tasks as discussed in strategic planning
