February 2025 (2025-02) monthly summary for powsybl-core: Delivered a robustness-focused refactor of network modification error handling. Implemented Network Modification Error Handling Refactor to use the logOrThrow mechanism and honor the throwException flag, making error signaling consistent across operations. Updated tests to cover both throwing and logging paths (commit bfb13906c5e43550fb5fa2879cd8d30bbb6fe150). Business value: reduces the risk of silent failures, improves debuggability and reliability of network modifications. Skills demonstrated: Java error handling patterns, test-driven development, code maintainability, and effective logging vs throwing decisions.
