November 2025 — ONSdigital/construction-survey-results: Delivered a unified MBS-based logging overhaul across the Construction Survey Results module and its data pipeline, replacing legacy logging with a dedicated MBS logger to improve observability and consistency. Aligned dependencies with the latest MBS repository and updated logger, pointing the project to the MBS branch to ensure current logging capabilities. Implemented initialization of the MBS handler in Cons to retrieve MBS logs and updated the main logging flow to maintain a standardized format. These changes enhance end-to-end observability, reduce maintenance overhead, and enable faster incident response and data governance.
