During the month, work focused on enhancing the puzzle/puzzletime repository by extending the Employee serializer to include an employed_within_three_months field, enabling the API to surface recent employment status directly. The implementation involved backend development using Ruby on Rails, with careful attention to refactoring the boolean type declaration for improved clarity by switching to a symbol. Associated serializer tests were updated to validate the presence and behavior of the new field, ensuring robust test coverage. No major bugs were addressed during this period, as the primary emphasis remained on expanding API capabilities and maintaining code quality through targeted improvements.
