March 2026 monthly overview for hmcts/cnp-flux-config: delivered key configuration improvements for the demo environment, updates to maintenance banners, and policy alignment in the CCD case disposer. These changes enhance environment parity with the latest case API, improve development/testing through Redis-related secrets, reduce operational noise by removing obsolete banners, and ensure regulatory-aligned deletable case types. No major defects fixed this month; focus was on configuration, policy, and maintenance updates with clear business value.

February 2026 monthly summary (hmcts/cnp-flux-config). Delivered three core capabilities that boost uptime, data integrity, and migration reliability: 1) Maintenance Banner Feature with lifecycle management across AAT and production, including messaging updates and removal/config adjustments. 2) Migration Tool Configuration and Scheduling Improvements, providing adjusted case counts, scheduling refinements, performance and threading optimizations, and environment-specific timings for more reliable migrations. 3) CCD Case Disposer Bail Handling (R&D) Enablement and Disablement, enabling Bail deletion in R&D while safeguarding production data. These changes reduce maintenance window ambiguity, improve migration throughput, and mitigate risk of unintended data loss. Traceability is preserved through DIAC-ticketed commits across the three features (DIAC-2100/DIAC-2239/DIAC-2101 for the banner; DIAC-1880 series for the migration work including six commits; and DIAC-1880 Bail R&D enablement/disablement).
