Mar 1, 2026

Month: 2026-03 — Focused on improving codebase consistency in oss-review-toolkit/ort by standardizing snippet-related naming. Key change: rename Provenance to SnippetProvenance in the snippet model to align with the Snippet<…> naming convention. Implemented in a single commit with a descriptive chore message to ensure traceability (cbd4851a5901f4d8a1d0a27c4b28834d4646a9ab). No user-facing feature releases or critical bug fixes were added this month; the work emphasizes long-term maintainability, readability, and traceability, and reduces future refactor risk. This initiative demonstrates solid refactoring discipline, naming governance, and version-control craftsmanship, setting a stable foundation for upcoming feature work and API stability.
