September 2025 (canonical/vanilla-framework) focused on improving design-system reliability and maintainability through two high-impact changes: an Asset Link Versioning Fix and a Typography System enhancement. The asset fix corrects the asset manager CSS path by normalizing the version number (hyphens to underscores), preventing asset loading failures across documentation and example JavaScript files. The Typography update derives the root font size from the $settings-text-default variable rather than a hardcoded 1rem, addressing a missing unit issue and enabling consistent, scalable typography. Impact: Reduced asset-loading errors, improved typography consistency, and streamlined future maintenance. These changes demonstrate solid competencies in SCSS variable usage, asset pipeline work, and cross-file coordination within a design system. Commit context: Implemented via 825b527280a914ffa06e99de4a3a1b4c4de0116c (Asset Link Versioning) and b9a899d565985b15300738ad8bcad4e07ace4856 (Typography root size from $settings-text-default).
