April 2025 monthly summary for Phobos (repository: Phobos-developers/Phobos). Focused on stabilizing the animation system under the Ares modification by addressing an ActiveAnim restoration bug that could leave buildings in an incorrect visual state when sold, erased, or destroyed during a special animation. The fix improves visual fidelity, prevents edge-case instability, and reduces post-release support risk.
