July 2025 monthly performance for open-AIMS/ADRIA.jl focused on domain-aware growth modelling, enhanced filtering, and robust test/maintenance workflows. Key outcomes include domain-level GrowthAcceleration integration with cluster-aware sampling, calibration-group dependent growth factors, and support for single-location models with explicit error handling. Model Specification Filtering was extended to allow parameter-set and parameter-name filtering, excluding non-input factors and ensuring consistent factor counts. Maintenance and Testing improvements updated dependencies for Julia 1.11, refreshed test data, tightened parameter bounds handling, and cleaned up deleted-function tests. These changes improve accuracy, scalability, reproducibility, and maintainability, laying groundwork for ReefMod integration and CB_CALIB_GROUPS testing.
