Month: 2025-08 — Delivered a targeted bug fix and configuration simplification in hmcts/civil-wa-task-configuration. Key change: Removed the JO flag from Civil DMN files (wa-task-configuration-civil-civil.dmn, wa-task-initiation-civil-civil.dmn, wa-task-permissions-civil-civil.dmn), deprecating a conditional path and streamlining task initiation and permissions logic. This work reduces conditional complexity, improves maintainability, and lowers risk of misrouting in civil task workflows. Commit: 13a3f7a2f1b507462a6d6a717743539def0a439b (CIV-17568).
