February 2025: WiredTiger codebase cleanup and internal refactor with a focus on reducing complexity and API noise. Delivered two targeted improvements in the wiredtiger/wiredtiger repo that simplify code paths, improve maintainability, and reduce risk of latent bugs. Key work includes removing an unused hs_dhandle initialization in checkpoint transaction logic and eliminating the compressed_image parameter from __rec_split_write in favor of using chunk->image for writing. These changes enhance readability, ease onboarding for contributors, and establish a cleaner API surface for future work. The work is fully traceable to commits WT-14020 and WT-13647, with references in (#11612, #11630).
