February 2026 monthly summary for conda-forge/staged-recipes: Implemented packaging metadata and integrity fixes for the lsstdesc-crow recipe to ensure reliable distribution and compatibility. Major changes include renaming the package to lsstdesc-crow, updating the source URL, enforcing a minimum Python version in run requirements, bumping the recipe version, and updating the SHA256 checksum. These changes reduce install-time failures, improve build reproducibility, and align packaging with project branding.

Concise monthly summary for 2025-12 focusing on business value and technical achievements across two repositories: conda-forge/staged-recipes and LSSTDESC/CLMM. Key features delivered include Python versioning improvements with a general runtime 'python' and a new python_min field, a compatibility revert for Python version syntax, platform build targeting improvements to minimize Windows/OSX builds on Linux while re-enabling macOS, and NumCosmo v0.24 backend support with halo mass definition handling adjustments. These changes improve compatibility, reduce build failures, expand platform support, and strengthen tests for reduced shear and magnification.
