June 2025 — midnight-indexer: Delivered a configurable spawn_child target directory feature to improve build/test flexibility and CI reproducibility. The implementation respects CARGO_TARGET_DIR when set and defaults to a relative path when unset, reducing environmental drift and accelerating validation. This aligns with ongoing efforts to improve deployment flexibility and developer experience. Related commit: fix: allow target dir to be changed (#122) (71c57102fd4b720080fc62334266f611afb13c2f).
