May 2026 monthly summary for envoyproxy/envoy: Delivered a targeted bug fix that improves Wasm VM lifecycle accuracy when environment variables change, with automated validation and clear ownership. The change ensures correctness and reduces risk in dynamic configurations, contributing to more reliable runtime behavior in production deployments.

April 2026 monthly summary for envoyproxy/envoy focused on strengthening the reliability of the Lua Stats API under dynamic stat scopes. Implemented a robust fix to prevent stale stat references when stats objects are evicted by per-scope limits. The wrapper logic now stores the scope reference and stat name and re-queries the scope on each use to obtain a fresh live stat (Counter, Gauge, Histogram), improving accuracy and reliability of metric updates. Impact: reduces risk of updates being sent to evicted stats, improving observability and correctness for Lua-based metrics across environments with dynamic stat limits. Testing: existing wrappers_test, lua_filter_test, and lua_integration_test executed successfully with all tests passing. Release notes: none. Platform features: none.
