Concise monthly summary for jaiabot (2025-08). Key features delivered: JaiaMap Time Range Filtering with a new setTimeRange method and refined zoom that displays only data within the selected time window. Major bugs fixed: disabled the Delete Logs button when no logs are selected to prevent accidental deletions; added python3-dataclasses-json dependency to ensure robust log processing. Overall impact: reduced risk of data loss, improved focus on relevant time periods, and more reliable log workflows. Technologies demonstrated: Python dependency management, UI/plot logic adjustments, and time-range filtering implementation with clear commit traceability (commits 64a8d306067d154d3ead7ea2269dee67500a729a and 4b921db36a94af860756adab801216e05d4d1a71).
