January 2025 highlights: Implemented build system modernization (Grunt to esbuild) across hmpps-activities-management, with faster asset bundling, streamlined Docker builds via a build-info step, and standardized code quality through ESLint/Prettier. Asset management cleanup migrated images to a dedicated static assets folder, removed IE8 references, and eliminated the unused productId configuration to reduce technical debt. Enabled go-live activations across Moorland, Portland, Elmley, Lindholme and Lancaster Farms with DPS tile integration. Centralized application information and health checks to improve observability and simplify CI/tests. Fixed a critical data integrity issue by adding a database constraint to prevent duplicate allocations for the same prisoner on an activity schedule.
