Month: 2025-08 — Delivered cross-repo improvements with a focus on Sepolia readiness, safer multisig workflows, and architectural consolidation. Key features: (1) Celo Sepolia network support in Celo CLI, including Sepolia RPC aliases and Ledger signer upgrades for whitelisted tokens, plus dependency upgrades. (2) Multisig:propose command enabling arbitrary multisig transactions, with refactored typed interactions via viem, integrated tests, and a safety check ensuring the value field is present. (3) Release mode enablement for production releases with test configuration updates to accommodate longer withdrawal time travel and simplified test validations. Documentation and migration: Sepolia migration guide updates and removal of outdated references (e.g., Web3Modal) along with cleanup of academy redirects. Architecture and platform improvements: Common package refactor consolidating proving utilities, input generation, attest/cose utilities, and document validation; modular authentication adapter; analytics integration migrated to the SDK client. Impact: faster onboarding and usage of Sepolia, safer multisig operations, more reliable test and release pipelines, and reduced maintenance via shared code and unified analytics/security components.
