December 2025 monthly summary focusing on developer experience, reliability, and business value across jdx/mise and jdx/usage. Delivered cross-repo features to improve reliability of script execution, enhance run-script argument handling via a usage map, added a global setting to control command visibility, expanded variadic flag defaults, and improved testing/docs coverage.

Month 2025-11 — jdx/mise: Delivered configurable strict mode for age decryption, improved safety and observability, and expanded test coverage. Added a strict/non-strict toggle for age decryption with env var support (MISE_AGE_STRICT) and corresponding config updates across mise.json and settings.toml. Core decrypt_age_directive logic now respects the strict setting; non-strict mode returns an empty string on failure, while strict mode raises errors. Addressed edge-case where non-strict mode could clear environment variables on failure and augmented tests to validate all scenarios. This work reduces silent failures, improves reliability in production, and provides clearer failure semantics for secret handling.

Monthly summary for 2025-10 (jdx/mise): Focused on stabilizing templating workflows, improving path handling, and ensuring upgrade reliability to deliver business value in automation tasks. Delivered a new templating capability, fixed parser and template behavior issues, and tightened OS-aware upgrade logic to prevent incompatible upgrades.
