Month 2024-11 — cloudoperators/heureka: Delivered Issue Variants: severity-rating input alongside vector-based severity. This feature enables creating/updating issue variants with only a severity rating, with the system translating rating into severity score/value. Commit reference 8ba6e3f158dbb83323f4e65d5c4906e3e3d14890 (#362). Impact: reduces input friction for users, improves data consistency, and enables rating-based workflows for severity analytics. Technologies demonstrated: GraphQL schema updates, API logic changes, and database mappings across the data model to support rating-to-severity translation.
