September 2025 saw a major architecture overhaul in geonetwork-ui, delivering large-scale modularization across UI and core modules. Key outcomes include removing legacy modules (notifications, auth, catalog, feature-catalog) and consolidating responsibilities under platform-provided services; decoupled concrete services by introducing interfaces; and making search directives standalone. In parallel, the test suite was stabilized with end-to-end selector updates, interception fixes, and improved test isolation by clearing drafts before each run. These changes reduced provisioning complexity, improved maintainability and onboarding, and yielded more reliable CI, enabling faster feature delivery and stronger platform alignment.
