Concise monthly summary for 2025-07 focusing on BudRuntime with a business-value oriented view. What was delivered: - Rate limiter added to API surface to throttle requests and address a missing merge gap, improving reliability under peak load and reducing abuse risk. - BudAdmin admin/client separation to tighten access controls and simplify governance for different user roles. - Model publishing system with an audit trail enabling traceability of model endpoints’ publication state and public releases. - BudApp model catalog discovery APIs with pricing and caching support, enabling faster pricing-informed discovery and scalable caching for model endpoints. - Expanded test infrastructure and endpoint test updates to improve test reliability, coverage, and migration cleanup. Major bugs fixed: - Fixed ORM mapping by removing back_populates on published_user relationship, stabilizing data models. - Resolved review-comments related issues and tightened PR hygiene. - Fixed Project Users errors and minor testing issues surfaced during QA. - Addressed lint and syntax issues across tests and codebase to improve maintainability. - Corrected pricing responses processing to align with expected data." , "key_achievements": ["Rate limiter added to API surface to throttle requests and address a missing merge gap","Admin/Client separation in BudAdmin for clearer governance","Model publishing system with audit trail for end-to-end publication tracking","Model catalog discovery APIs with pricing and caching for faster, accurate pricing data","Enhanced test infrastructure and API endpoint tests for reliability and coverage"]}```?`````````````````````````
