October 2025 monthly summary: Completed a multi-environment upgrade of the PostgreSQL engine to version 17 across production, CCMP Test, CCMP UAT, and LAA Crime Court Message Processor production, aligning all environments to the same major version and enabling the prepare_for_major_upgrade readiness flag to support future upgrade planning. Strengthened release governance by applying safety controls that disable prepare_for_major_upgrade across development, test, UAT, and production to prevent unintended upgrades. Documented changes with precise commit history for each environment: version bumps (dbe5fd7, 5c618bd5, f01b2cc7, a86b71db) and safety toggles (f5e9c80a, 1e4eba56, 769afebb, 782bdf4b). A no-op placeholder commit was recorded in the history as a non-functional placeholder. Overall, these changes improve stability, reduce upgrade risk, and position the platform for controlled, auditable major upgrades with clear ownership and auditability.
