May 2026 focused on API surface improvements in the argo-cd repository. Delivered a typed EventList for Argo CD event-listing APIs by replacing the Kubernetes EventList type with a custom Argo CD EventList, and updated service methods and client interfaces to consume the new type. This improves API design, type safety, and compatibility for downstream tooling, while reducing exposure to Kubernetes protobuf types. The change is implemented in the commit: 224b75af210188ef7763c47ac4a9f95a7d3da79e (feat(server): use typed Argo CD EventList for event-listing APIs (#25767) (#26322)).
