Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for superdesk/superdesk-stt: Delivered two major features with robust testing and improved data quality. Key outcomes include a Datapankki NINJS formatter with STT metadata enrichment plus unit tests, and deterministic DD/MM/YYYY date parsing in CSVs with day-first hints and explicit parsing overrides. These changes improve data integrity, metadata fidelity, and ingestion reliability, supported by regression fixtures and test coverage. Impact includes reduced ingestion errors, enhanced downstream analytics reliability, and prepared CI-ready code for ongoing development. Technologies demonstrated include Python, testing (unit/integration), date parsing and formatting, and formatter architecture, with settings registration for production readiness.
