Apr 1, 2025April 2025: Stabilized PDF generation for the crime forms workflow in ministryofjustice/laa-submit-crime-forms. Delivered a targeted bug fix to the PDF layout process to ensure compatibility across layouts by updating the _layout method to accept a list of keys and pass an empty list when keys are missing, preventing rendering failures. This improved reliability in production, reduced user-facing defects, and preserved backward compatibility. Technologies demonstrated include Ruby/Rails, Git-based workflows, and regression testing practices.
