January 2026 monthly summary for IntersectMBO repositories. Focused on delivering governance, ledger reliability, and infrastructure improvements across formal-ledger-specifications and cardano-ledger, with emphasis on business value and technical rigor. Key outcomes: - Governance voting enhancements and ratification integration were delivered, refactoring Ratify parameter structure and extending voting to include SPO credentials to improve participation and accuracy. - Ledger transaction validation and conformance were strengthened through UTXOW preconditions, signer hash handling enhancements, expanded input-set checks, and consolidation of SUBUTXO logic into UTXO/SUBUTXO rules. - Global scripts and data support across ledgers were implemented, enabling global scripts/data structures for the Dijkstra ledger and defining supported languages for transaction scripts. - Ledger infrastructure and build system improvements established foundational stubs for ledger components, updated Nix/Agda support, and CI disk-space cleanup to stabilize master builds. - Quality and compliance improvements included an SPO voting integrity test to validate SPO votes against transaction witnesses, alongside documentation updates clarifying the Conway formal specification status. Overall impact: These efforts collectively improve governance accuracy, transaction correctness, cross-ledger scripting capabilities, and build reliability, accelerating staged releases and auditing readiness. Technologies/skills demonstrated: UTXO/UTXOW validation, signer hashes, global-script data modeling, multi-ledger integration, Nix/Agda build tooling, CI optimization, formal-spec governance documentation, and test-driven validation of voting flows.
