July 2025: Focused on enabling targeted PR-based validation and refreshing the demo environment for nfdiv components in hmcts/cnp-flux-config. Delivered two core initiatives: (1) PR-based demo image policy testing for nfdiv-case-api to isolate and deploy PR-specific builds (PR-4553, PR-4561), and (2) demo environment image tag and policy updates for nfdiv-case-api and nfdiv-frontend, including production-tag usage and alternative image variants to support testing and staging. These changes improve validation speed, reduce blast radius, and increase confidence before production promotions in NFDiv workflows.
