In August 2025, the team delivered a major architectural overhaul in the association registry and strengthened stability and observability across the board. A comprehensive clean-architecture and modularization effort under or-2894 restructured core boundaries (webapi dir, moved eventstore, decoupled command handling, and domain-driven reorganization) to enable scalable development and easier maintenance. The address enrichment logic was refactored under the same initiative, with related rebase fixes and project rename to align with the new structure. CI, observability, and initialization flows were enhanced (or-2890) to improve reliability, logging, and startup sequencing. Telemetry visibility was improved with an API-key enrichment to enable better traceability and authorization (Or-2730). Or-2901-related work delivered DLQ endpoint mappings and JasperFX scaffolding, plus stabilization improvements such as resilient Slack notifications and reduced e2e flakiness through adjusted waits and retries. In addition, targeted bug fixes were completed (e.g., extension folder responsibility split, removal of intermediary listeners) and CI workflow fixes implemented (or-2687).
