Oct 1, 2025

October 2025 monthly summary for hiero-ledger/hiero-block-node: Reliability enhancements and expanded testing for streaming components. Implemented safeguards so acknowledgements are sent only after confirmed persistence, reducing the risk of duplicate processing and inconsistent state. Expanded testing coverage includes an End-to-End test plan for the Stream Subscriber Plugin and unit tests for the Stream Publisher handling of historical blocks before earliestManagedBlock. These changes improve data integrity, fault tolerance, and release confidence, supported by targeted tests and clearer success criteria.
