Summary for 2025-09: In September, the policy_templates repo delivered two critical fixes affecting Azure Schedule Instance reliability and versioning. First, clarified default status behavior for Azure schedule instances by updating last_start_status and last_stop_status from Unknown to No Action, ensuring accurate status representation when no actions have occurred. This work was implemented in the core azure_schedule_instance logic and reflected in the changelog. Second, updated the Azure Schedule Instance Template version from 7.0.6 to 7.0.7 to capture the bug fix/small enhancement. Together, these changes improve operational clarity, reduce troubleshooting time, and preserve precise versioning for downstream consumers.
