Month: 2025-09 — Focused on stabilizing session management in hmcts/sptribs-frontend by implementing robust Redis client error handling in the session module and enhancing test coverage for the Redis session path. This work reduces crash risk when Redis is unavailable or errors occur and improves maintainability through clearer tests. Commits impacted: 5f84aa3c3376882a0a501c6ebcb98c2d0ec4df8a; d11556accbb289b94dbe78a5766c20119700dee5.

Month: 2025-06 — This period focused on stabilizing the event-driven workflow by disabling the CCD events subscription in the Flux-managed configuration. Implemented through a YAML change (civil-service.yaml) to set CCD_EVENTS_SUBSCRIPTION_ENABLED to false in the hmcts/cnp-flux-config repository, effectively stopping CCD event subscriptions. Key commit: 86f2f5f09b1bf0759ecd486de8ebf2ef55122668 (disable ccd service bus). Impact: Reduced unnecessary CCD event processing, lower service-bus load, and fewer downstream error surfaces. This aligns with platform deprecation/shift plans and improves reliability for dependent services. Skills/tech used: YAML configuration, environment variable management, Flux configuration management, Git/version control, change auditing, cross-repo coordination.
