Worked on backend stability improvements for the 5rahim/seanime repository, focusing on the hydration workflow. Addressed a critical bug by initializing the hydrationRules map to a non-nil state, effectively preventing nil pointer dereferences that could disrupt processing. Refined the logic for rule checks and enhanced panic messages to provide clearer troubleshooting information, making debugging more straightforward for future development. The work involved targeted Go code changes and thorough testing to ensure reliability. Although no new features were added during this period, the updates improved the robustness of the hydration pipeline and established a more stable foundation for ongoing backend development.
