Worked on modernizing the AxisLabelVisibilityRule API in the astropy/astropy repository by refactoring the get_axislabel_visibility_rule function to adopt a more flexible signature using Python. The update introduced a deprecation path for legacy arguments, utilizing a decorator-based approach to provide clearer warnings and improve maintainability. Documentation was updated with a detailed changelog entry to guide users through the transition, and code formatting was enhanced using ruff to ensure readability and consistency. This work focused on reducing technical debt and aligning the backend API with current best practices, enabling smoother future enhancements to axis label visibility rules within the codebase.
October 2025: Modernized AxisLabelVisibilityRule API in astropy/astropy by deprecating the old argument, introducing a flexible signature, and guiding users to the new API. Delivered with a changelog entry, a decorator-based deprecated argument warning, and cleanups after a ruff fix. This work reduces technical debt, improves API consistency, and enables smoother future enhancements to axis label visibility rules.
