June 2026 monthly summary for viamrobotics RDK and API focused on observability, robustness, and module state visibility. Implemented Windows ETW logging as the default local logger for viam-server with safe shutdown to prevent crashes; added comprehensive module health lifecycle exposed via the machine status API with guaranteed error propagation to clients; introduced a ModuleStatus model and integrated it into GetMachineStatusResponse for richer module-state visibility. Fixed Windows logging tests and potential runtime panics during shutdown; corrected client-side handling of module status errors to improve resilience. Repositories involved: viamrobotics/rdk and viamrobotics/api.

Monthly work summary for 2026-03 focused on stabilizing logging behavior and preventing config mutation side effects in viam-server, with targeted tests in a local cloud context. The effort improves operational observability, reliability, and developer confidence across deployments.
