May 2025 — Homebrew/brew monthly summary focusing on developer work. Delivered Sorbet Type Annotations Ecosystem Enhancements to strengthen type checking and static analysis, including annotation generation before type checks with tapioca, RBI annotations for Minitest and Rainbow, and linting improvements by excluding generated RBI/annotations from RuboCop. These changes reduce maintenance overhead and improve developer feedback loops.
