During December 2024, this developer focused on maintaining and enhancing the adobe/aio-cli-plugin-api-mesh repository by upgrading the @adobe-apimesh/mesh-builder dependency from version 1.7.1 to 2.0.0. The work centered on dependency management using YAML, ensuring that the repository could leverage new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements from the updated mesh-builder package.
