May 2025 monthly summary for rocicorp/mono: Delivered stability-focused enhancements and code clarity improvements. Key features include release hygiene across the 0.19–0.21 series with routine version bumps and dependency updates, and a refactor of core interfaces (ZQLDatabaseProvider to ZQLDatabase and ZQLPostgresJSAdapter to PostgresJSConnection) to improve readability and usage. The lazy-startup rename aligns configuration with behavior, and build/release safeguards guard against unpushed changes and hash mismatches. Configuration was simplified by reverting automatic replication-manager discovery in favor of a dedicated change streamer URI. Major bugs fixed include more actionable NOT EXISTS error messaging, OnReady signaling when data queries complete (even with no results), and improved readiness handling for the issue page. Overall impact: reduced release risk, clearer developer experience, and stronger readiness signaling, with demonstrated skills in version management, refactoring, build automation, and targeted debugging.
