March 2025 monthly summary for jstz-dev/jstz. Key features delivered include the JstzRuntime with Deno integration, encompassing runtime lifecycle, module loading, console support, and persistent KV storage, accompanied by build system tweaks to enable Deno on RISC-V and minor organizational changes to examples and imports. Major bugs fixed include improved CI reliability through pre-downloading the v8 archive via a dedicated nix file to avoid network-restriction build failures, and stability enhancements for Web Platform Tests (WPT) initialization and runtime benchmarking. The WPT changes ensure reliable capture of console output, enable regeneration workflows, and align benchmarking with the Runtime from the tezos-smart-rollup-host crate. Overall impact includes a more robust runtime platform, reduced CI flakiness, and credible, actionable performance metrics. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Deno integration and runtime development (lifecycle, module loading, console, KV storage), cross-architecture build tweaks (RISC-V), CI automation with nix, WPT stabilization, and benchmarking integration with tezos-smart-rollup-host.
