Sep 1, 2025September 2025 (Month: 2025-09) focused on boosting CI/CD speed, test stability, and dependency hygiene for ustaxcourt/ef-cms. Key delivery centered on Docker image usage and CI caching optimizations, Cypress caching enhancements, and tuned parallel test execution to accelerate feedback loops. I also refreshed dependency alignment across AWS, Luxon, UUID, TOTP generator, Kysely, and related packages, and updated Terraform tooling and Docker versioning to keep the stack current. Additionally, small but important code quality improvements reduced formatting inconsistencies.
