Month: 2025-06 — This period focused on stabilizing the event-driven workflow by disabling the CCD events subscription in the Flux-managed configuration. Implemented through a YAML change (civil-service.yaml) to set CCD_EVENTS_SUBSCRIPTION_ENABLED to false in the hmcts/cnp-flux-config repository, effectively stopping CCD event subscriptions. Key commit: 86f2f5f09b1bf0759ecd486de8ebf2ef55122668 (disable ccd service bus). Impact: Reduced unnecessary CCD event processing, lower service-bus load, and fewer downstream error surfaces. This aligns with platform deprecation/shift plans and improves reliability for dependent services. Skills/tech used: YAML configuration, environment variable management, Flux configuration management, Git/version control, change auditing, cross-repo coordination.
