Month 2025-10 – Time‑to‑Pay Proxy (hmrc/time-to-pay-proxy) Overview: Focused on robustness and maintainability through a targeted refactor of HTTP response handling in TtpConnector. Implemented a scalable builder pattern (HttpReadsWithLoggingBuilder) and introduced endpoint-specific builders to standardize parsing and error handling across API calls. This sets a solid foundation for consistent behavior as new endpoints are added. Impact: Improved reliability and observability of API interactions, reduced risk of mis-parsed responses, and streamlined maintenance. This work enables faster onboarding of new endpoints and clearer error reporting, translating into higher confidence in production traffic handling for time-to-pay workflows. Notes: No major user-facing bugs fixed this month; value delivered through architectural improvements and stronger error handling. Technologies/Skills: HttpReadsWithLoggingBuilder, endpoint-specific builder pattern, standardized HTTP status handling, improved error handling and logging, compatibility with existing Play/HTTP client integration (as applicable to the repo).

April 2025 monthly summary for hmrc/time-to-pay-proxy: Delivered a data model enhancement for Affordable Quote Installment by adding the expectedPayment field and migrating numeric handling from Int to BigInt to support larger payments.
