March 2025: Maintained and stabilized the statisticsnorway/ssb-fagfunksjoner repo with a focus on dependency hygiene and correct data handling. Key activities included updating Python package dependencies in poetry.lock to ensure reproducible environments, and fixing a type mismatch in pandas_combinations.py by changing the 'ways' type from int to len(comb). The work also included a code quality improvement in the associated commit to address a Jinja issue and Ruff lint fixes, increasing CI reliability. These changes reduce runtime risk in analytics workflows and support downstream features that rely on stable dependencies and correct combination logic.
