January 2026 (2026-01) focused on stabilizing the Risk Scorecard workflow in kartverket.dev while enabling meaningful feature progress. Key feature delivery included upgrading the Risk Scorecard plugin baseline to version 3.12.0 to access the latest features and fixes. In response to issues encountered with the 4.x line, we rolled back to 3.12.0 to restore stability. Subsequently, we reintroduced progress by upgrading to 4.0.1 with explicit version pinning (no caret), ensuring reproducible builds. This sequence preserves production reliability while enabling feature improvements and a repeatable deployment process. Overall impact includes a more stable risk-scoring workflow, reduced risk of regressions, and clearer upgrade paths. Demonstrated skills include dependency management, semantic versioning, version pinning in package.json/yarn.lock, careful rollback procedures, and alignment with CI/CD practices.
