March 2025 deliverables focused on user experience clarity, testing reliability, and dependency governance across two critical repositories. In microsoft/BCApps, we clarified the tooltip for the Edit User Settings action to accurately describe how Locale affects app detail language on Business Central and AppSource, and improved SaaS environment type discrimination in tests. In clearlydefined/curated-data, we updated dependency metadata for the latest versions and licenses (ag-grid-community 32.3.3 MIT; ag-grid-enterprise 32.3.3 license OTHER; CrmSdk.CoreAssemblies 9.0.2.56). These updates reduce risk, improve UX, and support compliance and governance.
