Alex Boden updated the _meta.json file in the WATonomous/wato_wiki repository to enhance project configuration and build metadata management. By leveraging JSON and configuration management skills, Alex improved the traceability and reproducibility of builds, making it easier to diagnose issues across different environments. The work focused on aligning configuration metadata with CI/CD governance, laying the groundwork for future automation in configuration management. Using Git for change tracking, Alex ensured that updates were auditable and transparent. Although the scope was limited to a single feature over one month, the update addressed core needs in build diagnostics and project metadata consistency.
