January 2025 monthly summary for Azure/azure-functions-durable-extension. Focused on code quality improvements with a targeted cleanup in DurableTaskClientExtensions: removed outdated comments related to forwarded headers for base URL generation; no changes to base URL logic or behavior. This work reduces confusion for future contributors and maintains behavioral stability.

December 2024: Strengthened the Durable Task Go API by implementing graceful handling for non-existent orchestration instances. The GetInstance API now returns a clear 'instance does not exist' message when the orchestration is not found, instead of propagating an error. This change reduces error noise for users and improves API robustness in common not-found scenarios. Implemented in dapr/durabletask-go with commit d41cda941922ef0566cdd13efadb10667b229046 (Enhance GetInstance method to handle instance not found error gracefully (#87)).
