Apr 1, 2025April 2025: Delivered a focused maintainability improvement in CliMA/Oceananigans.jl by removing an unnecessary warning that appeared when using RungeKutta3TimeStepper with an implicit-explicit configuration and an implicit_solver. The warning was deemed redundant or associated with an untested scenario, and its removal reduces log noise and user confusion, while signaling the stability of the IMEX RK3 path. This change is captured in commit b37dd185d959da29a9f95b3477c91046e1a9a3b3 with message "Removes warning from implicit-explicit RK3 (#4317)". The work enhances user experience, maintains backward compatibility, and improves maintainability for future iterations across the repository CliMA/Oceananigans.jl.
