November 2025 monthly summary for thofma/Hecke.jl focused on feature enhancements and robustness in arithmetic tooling for p-adic and q-adic unit groups. Key work includes refining gcdx-based handling of one-units, adding prime 2-specific logic, and expanding tests; and revamping number field elements and norms for relative fields with attention to S-units, LLL reduction, and norm equations. No major bugs reported; instead, significant test coverage and reliability improvements were achieved. This lays groundwork for more robust class group computations in relative fields and strengthens the overall arithmetic capabilities of the library.
