Mar 1, 2026March 2026: Focused on optimizing the Catena build pipeline by introducing change-detection logic to skip toolchain builds when no changes are detected. This directly reduces unnecessary builds and resource usage, speeding iteration cycles and lowering CI costs. Delivered as part of rossvideo/Catena with a targeted commit that implements the detection and gating, preserving a clean revert path and traceable history.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026: Key features delivered include automated code generation workflow for Catena, improved test coverage reliability, and stricter parameter validation. Major codegen enhancements improved the model-to-binary conversion flow, logging, CLI usability, and CI integration, enabling automated generation during pull requests and reducing manual steps. Additional work strengthened test reliability by ensuring dependencies are installed prior to coverage runs. Parameter validation now enforces step size constraints for float/integer parameters and expands tests for floating-point precision edge cases. Result: faster PR cycles, more reliable builds, and higher confidence in binary generation from Catena models.
