Worked on stabilizing the feature-layer lifecycle for the ngageoint/mage-server repository, focusing on backend reliability and API consistency. Addressed a bug in feature layer deletion by refining the deletion logic to ensure targeted services are properly excluded, directly improving system stability. Enhanced the PUT API by standardizing success responses as JSON objects with a 'success' flag and implementing more robust error handling, which streamlines client integration and error traceability. Utilized TypeScript for backend development and API improvements, delivering changes that are clearly traceable to a single commit. The work emphasized maintainability and reliability over the course of the month.
