April 2025 monthly summary for DataDog/datadog-ci: Delivered a developer-focused CI improvement and hardened asset security, resulting in faster, more reliable builds and a stronger security posture. Key changes include a redesigned Build/Test Workflow that spawns a development server, introduces buildAssets for lifecycle management, and supports serving assets from multiple build directories and outputs. Major commits include 7688dca0e01a0c1c5b9eb5c7a3210c5f4e34f85e (redesign build-and-test command to spawn the dev server) and cd0f287d826ad27677687048f6f227b0a11cd94f (small fixups). Additionally, security hardening for build assets adds a constant for the build report pathname and validates requested files to prevent path traversal (commit 0c148893199c750439583cd34f13e289db3f731d). The combined work improves CI reliability, reduces iteration time, and strengthens security.
