Mar 1, 2026March 2026 focused on stabilizing the SQLite-based synchronization workflow in cognite-sdk-python. Implemented a cursor management fix that deletes existing cursors before inserting new ones during synchronization to preserve data integrity and prevent stale-state issues in offline/SQLite sync paths. The change reduces the risk of data inconsistencies in production integrations and aligns with documented usage in the sqlite syncing flow. Documentation was updated to reflect the corrected sqlite syncing example, reinforcing correct usage and expectations (commit noted). No user-facing features were shipped this month; the emphasis was on reliability, correctness, and maintainability of the core sync path.
