June 2026 (RIT-Launch-Initiative/FSW): Implemented a temporary LoRa modem frequency alignment to match the 2026 backplane hardware, transitioning from 435 MHz to 425.72 MHz to simplify configuration during development and testing. This workaround improves compatibility across hardware revisions and accelerates our testing pipeline while a permanent configuration is finalized. The change is tracked in the FSW repository with a single, traceable commit.

April 2025 was focused on correcting a critical event-handling flow in the RIT-Launch-Initiative/FSW module. I fixed a function naming typo by renaming HasEventOccured to HasEventOccurred in CDetectionHandler, ensuring correct invocation of event-occurrence logic and eliminating a class of cross-PR recognition issues that could lead to runtime errors. The change is committed in 390e0b3353c20084951e4c929333bdf629d99bd9, enabling consistent behavior across the codebase and downstream features that depend on accurate event detection.
