March 2025: UpGrade repository improvements focused on stabilizing local development via robust environment configuration management. Implemented a secure local workflow by introducing environment.local.ts, replacing environment.ts with environment.example.ts, aligning build configurations with local settings, and clarifying usage. Updated .gitignore to prevent accidental leaks and standardized startup to npm start. These changes reduce environment drift between local and CI, speed onboarding, and lower maintenance costs without impacting user-facing features.
