Oct 1, 2025October 2025 monthly summary for webforj-documentation: Implemented Documentation Integrity and Version Management. Cleaned up testing/draft artifacts and centralized version display to a project/environment variable-based approach instead of client-side JavaScript. This ensures the correct webforJ version is shown consistently across docs, reduces publish-time risks, and simplifies rollout. Key commits contributing to this work include fe1c3d3c8375fe730409d17480f7f27aa08d546b (chore: Removed drafts used for testing) and 66ca37f9b527e918d61c5e651850c149f02894fc (refactor: webforJ latest version is now a project variable).
