June 2025 monthly summary for 29k repo focusing on localization, content governance, and data workflows. Delivered comprehensive Brazilian Portuguese Localization and Language Tag Improvements across UI, content, and emails with pt-BR translations, language tag normalization (pt-PT), improved language detection and fallbacks, and expanded test coverage. Implemented CSV Import: Publish Flag Override for Exercises to allow flexible content visibility during bulk imports. Rolled out KILLSWITCH updates to require minimum app version 2.60.0 and align minimum bundles for controlled feature rollouts and cross-platform compatibility. Strengthened API and data workflows with a context-based language resolution refactor, updated language resolver to prefer pt-PT, and added a Firestore migration script to migrate existing language tags from 'pt' to 'pt-PT'. These changes were supported by multiple commits across the pt-BR workstream (e.g., 4687b23cc520eb53b0b47eaab4cf3e2ca95b8b2d, 63cc22f6d3af2e024e7f814f5fba7304c54876a1, 6988d0616e35a81a8e5206e9c65cf828d0ef161c), the CSV import commit (2e1cae95acc2c9b39c1843c2c02f076a4a414d79), and the killswitch commit (2e2d53abb9ad6a684f6e35792d0adf774a0e8c41). QA notes: tests fixed and localization edge-cases addressed.}
