Sep 1, 2025September 2025 focused on stabilizing deployment pipelines and strengthening multi-environment targeting. Implemented a robust AWS deployment script that falls back to a default AWS profile when aws_profile is missing, and hardened script fallbacks to avoid breaking deployments. Extended the bootstrap process to explicitly pass the AWS profile, ensuring correct environment targeting during CDK deployments. These changes reduce failure modes, improve automation reliability, and support scalable multi-environment release pipelines.
