December 2024 — sinfin/folio: Strengthened reliability of the Mailchimp integration by introducing an API readiness guard that prevents the subscription update job from running when Mailchimp credentials are not configured. This reduces errors, unnecessary processing, and wasted compute. The change is isolated, well-tracked against the referenced issue, and ready for production with clear rollback/maintenance paths.
