October 2025 highlights: Delivered significant recall lifecycle improvements across HMPS-record-a-recall and HMPS-remand-and-sentencing-api. Key features include migrating to V2 recall flow with enhanced editing and consolidated session handling; sentence type updates; RTC handling and UAL calculation refinements; and a new recall deletion flow with confirmation. Bug fixes stabilize interrupt page behavior and persistence, including fixing a recall deletion persistence issue. Expanded recall filtering with new statuses (INACTIVE, FUTURE, MERGED) to enable finer-grained management. Business value: more reliable recall editing, accurate timing calculations, stronger data integrity, and improved user experience, supported by robust controller/routes and data-model updates.

September 2025 performance summary focusing on architecture, data quality, and user experience improvements for recall workflows. Delivered foundational changes to enable a scalable migration to the new recall flow, strengthened data handling and validation, and enhanced UI integrations to improve operator and end-user efficiency. Business outcomes include more reliable recall processing, faster iteration cycles, and richer recall data visibility.

August 2025 delivered a set of features, refactors, and security improvements across two repositories (hmpps-record-a-recall and hmpps-remand-and-sentencing-api) focused on business value, data integrity, and user experience. Key capabilities include an end-to-end Sentence Type Update Flow in the Recall Process with API-driven sentence type retrieval, session data updates, and persistence via the Remand and Sentencing API, plus UI and navigation refinements for a consistent recall journey. Security hardening from the security audit was implemented, and a GOV.UK Frontend upgrade was completed to leverage new features and patches. Court Case Details rendering was modernized for resilience, while environment routing to the DPS home page was introduced for non-local deployments to ensure correct production behavior. The Remand and Sentencing API was enhanced to include firstDayInCustody and sentenceDate for richer recall data. Overall, these changes reduce manual work, improve data quality, and strengthen security and UX across the recall workflow.

Concise monthly summary for 2025-07 focusing on delivered features, bug fixes, and resulting business value across two repositories. Highlights include recall lifecycle timing enhancements, enhanced recall sentence handling and data provenance, architectural refactors for routing/eligibility, improved recall date validation, and UI/data presentation improvements. The work demonstrates strong API design, data model evolution, test coverage, dependency stability, and robust cross-team collaboration.

June 2025 monthly summary focusing on delivering business-value features for recall workflows and enhancing data richness across two services. Implemented manual recall flow intercept UI, updated routing, and newer recall APIs; integrated Manage Offences data to enrich recall context with offence descriptions, court names, and outcome presentation; clarified delete messaging; upgraded security dependencies and improved tests; expanded RecallableSentence DTO and endpoints to support recall-eligible court cases and richer offence data. Result: smoother manual recall processing, richer recall data for decision-making, improved security posture, and more reliable test suites across services.

May 2025 monthly summary for ministryofjustice/hmpps-record-a-recall focusing on key feature delivery and robustness improvements: recall deletion with confirmation and UAL cleanup, and enhanced recall date validation with a centralized approach and date-fns migration. These changes improve safety, data integrity, and maintainability while enabling clearer audit trails and better user flows.
