May 1, 2025May 2025 monthly summary for openjdk/leyden: Focused on stabilizing the Skynet stress tests in the Leyden project. Delivered a targeted fix for macOS ZGC stress tests by increasing the timeout from 300s to 400s to resolve intermittent failures observed in the test environment. The fix was implemented in a single commit and added clear traceability for future debugging. Overall, this work improved CI reliability, reduced flaky test runs, and expedited feedback loops for performance under macOS ZGC with virtual threads.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for openjdk/leyden: Focused on improving API usage clarity around Java HttpClient authentication. Delivered a targeted documentation update clarifying that java.net.http.HttpClient supports HTTP Basic authentication only and does not support Digest authentication. This alignment reduces user confusion, onboarding friction, and potential support inquiries. No functional code changes this month; all work centered on documentation and guidance to developers integrating HttpClient.
