March 2026: Delivered security, performance, and reliability improvements across the Madara repository, focusing on S3 storage hardening, database query optimization, chain integration readiness, and protocol robustness. Implemented security-hardening for the S3 client by removing directory listings and using explicit known file paths with graceful 404 handling. Optimized MongoDB $lookup operations by leveraging indexes for faster job matching and retrieval by internal IDs. Expanded cross-chain readiness with Sepolia support in the block hash skip list and updated GPS verifier endpoints and protocol compatibility for Sepolia/Integration. Added a guard to halt syncing on unsupported Starknet protocol versions, improving overall resilience.
