March 2025 monthly summary for mermaid-js/mermaid: Delivered a robust fix to the Sequence Diagram label parser to correctly handle equals signs in participant labels, preventing mis-splitting and rendering errors. Implemented across two commits (3dd6107e7640394b90df16e49779dc93c77644d1 and 6cc192680a2531cab28f87a8061a53b786e010f3) with a changeset for traceability.

January 2025 monthly summary for gitlabhq/gitlab-runner. Delivered a cohesive workflow to build and test local Docker images for the Runner and Helper, enabling local development without impacting CI/CD artifacts. Implemented new Makefile targets and dynamic Docker context handling; removed unnecessary builder setup; refactored terminology to 'local' images; expanded documentation and makefile help to improve developer experience. This work reduces local testing friction, accelerates iteration on image changes, and lowers risk of unintended artifacts in pipelines. The effort was implemented across 9 commits focused on local image support and related docs (e.g., Add support for building local docker images; Host images build in the current, not default, context; Update documentation for creating local docker images; Remove explicit buildx builder creation for local images; Change terminology to local for local docker image creation; Fix lint-docs error and expand local-image docs; Fix helper-local-image target issue; Update make help with new local-image and related targets; Applied docs suggestions).
