October 2025 (2025-10) — Rating API (profcomff/rating-api) focused on stability and correctness. No new user-facing features were delivered this month; the team concentrated on robust date arithmetic and fix reliability. A targeted hotfix was implemented to correct the comment frequency cutoff date calculation, reducing the risk of invalid comment limits and downstream issues, and enabling smoother feature work next month.

Summary for 2025-09: Delivered Rental Session Lifecycle Management for profcomff/rental-api, including removal of background tasks, dependency-based checks for session expirations and overdue statuses, and configurable settings for session expiry and overdue periods. No major bugs reported; avoided regression risk by removing background tasks and centralizing session logic. Overall impact: more reliable, scalable session lifecycle, reduced background task overhead, and improved ops flexibility. Technologies/skills demonstrated: refactoring, dependency-based validation, configuration-driven design, and codebase maintainability.

2025-03: Implemented robust comment creation safeguards in profcomff/rating-api, focusing on rate limiting, per-user quotas, and validation of forbidden symbols. Refactor fixed the create-comment path and improved data integrity, reducing abuse risk and enhancing user experience. Commit reference: 126ad30ff9ddb515fef1aea42dd9f76c35d3b74e.

February 2025: Delivered Weighted Mark feature for the Lecturer Rating System in the rating-api, introducing a new mark_weighted field, updated Lecturer model and related routes, and a configurable weighting approach to blend individual and overall averages. This provides a more nuanced, fairer rating and improves benchmarking for performance decisions.

January 2025 (2025-01) monthly summary for profcomff/rating-api: Delivered user engagement enhancements, added asynchronous HTTP support, and stabilized CI/CD workflows. These efforts boost user contributions, enable scalable external calls, and improve release reliability with fewer CI failures.

December 2024: Focused on correctness and maintainability of the rating API. Delivered a targeted bug fix to improve rate-limiting accuracy for comments by ensuring lecturer-specific limits are evaluated before general user limits, complemented by a refactor of the validation order and date cutoff checks to reduce edge-case errors and improve reliability.

November 2024 focused on strengthening lecturer discovery, ranking accuracy, and code quality in the rating API (profcomff/rating-api).
