January 2026 (2026-01) focused on stabilizing and hardening the navapbc/template-infra project through end-to-end AWS resource cleanup enhancements and developer workflow improvements. Delivered a safer, more automated resource teardown pipeline that comprehensively handles IAM, S3, CloudWatch, SNS, Route53, ECS, ELB, VPCs, security groups, subnets, and internet gateways, with safeguards such as KMS key state checks before deletion and removal of Bedrock-related resources. Improved output clarity, reduced spurious pauses, and expanded cleanup coverage, enabling faster, repeatable test environments while lowering risk of leftover resources. Implemented governance and workflow hygiene improvements by relocating CODEOWNERS to the .github directory and tightening PR environment detection with a targeted regex, reducing misconfigurations in environments and ownership. Overall, these changes reduce operational risk, cut cloud sprawl, and accelerate delivery cycles with stronger automation and maintainability.
