June 2026 — openghg/openghg_inversions: Focused two main areas to enhance reliability and usability. 1) Documentation and User Guidance Improvements: clarified configuration and country-related values, corrected documentation comments, and refined input documentation to reduce misconfigurations for end users. 2) Robustness and Input Validation for Run Scripts: hardened input handling and environment-variable guards to prevent erroneous execution and strengthen the test/run setup. Result: clearer onboarding, fewer configuration errors, more deterministic runs, and reduced support overhead. Technical work included applying code-review feedback and AI-assisted autofix across both features, demonstrating solid collaboration and code quality.
