September 2025 monthly summary for gomorpheus/morpheus-plugin-core: Delivered Flexible Backup Providers and Restore Customization, enabling multi-provider backups and more flexible restoration. Implemented backupProviders with deprecation of backupProvider, and overloaded finalizeRestore with an opts parameter to enable configurable restoration and provisioning control. This API shape supports provider-agnostic backup/restore workflows, reduces vendor lock-in, and improves provisioning precision. The work was driven by two commits: ba6f7c3498211fc27237bf8fc163591812bb5b95 ([#PCCP-4210] Support multiple backup providers) and 5893823758a2692af9f254590a2a6a5b5d39c744 ([#PCCP-2886] Override finalizeRestore with opts parameter).

February 2025 — Key feature delivery focused on data governance and safe deletion workflows. Implemented the BackupResult.deletable flag in gomorpheus/morpheus-plugin-core, enabling explicit retention control for backup results. The new boolean field defaults to true and includes standard getter and setter methods, with the setter marking the field as dirty to ensure correct persistence. Major bugs fixed: None reported/closed this month; effort concentrated on feature delivery and code quality improvements. Impact and accomplishments: Strengthens data governance and deletion safety across backup lifecycles, reducing the risk of accidental data loss and aligning with retention policies. Improves maintainability by introducing a clear, auditable change in the data model and ensuring state changes are tracked. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Java/OOP design, data-model enhancements, getters/setters with dirty-tracking, version-controlled changes (commit ec dc160560682f1bf5420b85c3be8631db623c1e, [#68367]).
