September 2025 monthly summary for smartcontractkit/chainlink: focused on stabilizing CI and aligning dependencies to improve release reliability. Delivered a targeted fix to CI stability by updating the chain-selectors dependency to v1.0.72 and hardening CI by skipping flaky/broken tests, with temporary comments on failing tests to reduce CI noise while root causes are investigated. This work reduced CI noise, improved integration and deployment readiness, and laid groundwork for faster feedback cycles across the repository.
