Month: 2025-05 — Summary of work in ansible/awx focusing on stability and lifecycle improvements. Key feature delivered is a Worker Retirement Policy that enforces mandatory retirement of worker processes based on age, preventing long-running workers from memory leaks and enabling periodic restarts. This change introduces a configurable lifetime WORKER_MAX_LIFETIME_SECONDS (default 4 hours) and applies retirement logic to ensure more predictable resource usage and higher reliability across deployments. No major bugs reported this month; the work prioritized reliability, maintainability, and clear lifecycle semantics.
