April 2025 — gnarayan/decat_pointings: Delivered data quality improvements by shortening the DESIRT JSON dataset and standardizing file names to DESIRT_165_g_short.json, DESIRT_165_i_short.json, and DESIRT_165_r_short.json. This reduces payload size, improves ingestion reliability, and aligns with downstream processing conventions. Implemented via three commits with clear messages and hashes for traceability. No bug fixes recorded this month; focus was on feature refinement and data consistency, delivering business value through streamlined data pipelines.
