September 2025 performance summary for luxonis/depthai-core focused on stability, reliability, and cross-environment compatibility. Delivered three key items that reduce build-time failures and runtime issues: (1) OpenCV-Optional Build Stability: conditional compilation and dummy implementations when OpenCV is unavailable, preventing crashes or false negatives; (2) Firmware/Device Hash Alignment and Dependency Stability: updated firmware reference to resolve NoneType-to-bytearray issues and synchronized dependencies for stable builds; (3) XLink Dependency Sync for Build Robustness: updated to a known-good commit to ensure builds without libusb succeed and improve cross-environment stability. Overall, these changes improve user experience for non-OpenCV deployments, reduce maintenance burden, and enable smoother integration for downstream users.
