Aug 1, 2025August 2025 monthly summary for SimonRichardson/juju: A focused set of storage enhancements delivering visibility, reliability, and end-to-end provisioning capabilities. Key features include storage status domain and status query APIs, core storage refactors to simplify and harden storage core, and comprehensive wiring of storage provisioning domain state with volume and attachment parameters. The Storage Provisioner Facade now provides volumes, attachments, block devices, and attachment plan APIs, enabling end-to-end provisioning workflows. Maintenance and quality improvements included updating dependencies (Go module to Go 1.24.6), improved tests (fixing flaky tests, ensuring initial storage watcher events), and code quality refinements (pointer usage and size_mib naming). These changes reduce provisioning errors, improve observability, and accelerate deployment of storage resources with a more maintainable architecture.
