January 2026 (2026-01): Delivered a cross-environment upgrade of the Secrets Manager module (3.0.6) across development, test, UAT, and production for multiple services including the Crime Apply mock API, Crime Application Tracking Service, and related components (CAS, CCMP, CAA, and the Applications Adaptor). The work involved systematic Terraform module bumps, validation of mock deployments, and ensuring secret handling parity across environments. The change enhances security posture, simplifies future upgrades, and reduces operational risk by standardizing secret management across the platform.
