September 2025: Delivered firmware-ready PDVD Photon Detector Mapping Configuration and fixed Channel 13 WLS tagging in dunecore, strengthening data fidelity and firmware deployment reliability. The PDVD updates add three new JSON mapping files for PDVD PDS mapping and install them with firmware, enabling updated data processing capabilities. The Channel 13 WLS tag fix eliminates mis-associations, reducing downstream processing errors. These changes improve data accuracy, shorten debugging cycles, and support upcoming firmware releases. Technologies demonstrated include JSON-based mapping, firmware packaging, and robust data-relationship tagging.

July 2025 monthly summary for DUNE/dunecore: Key focus on enhancing PDVD detector mapping reliability and API accessibility to support physics analyses and simulations. Delivered a targeted mapping update, API enhancements, and documentation improvements that streamline downstream use of detector names and entries.

May 2025 monthly summary for DUNE/duneprototypes focusing on robustness of channel map ingestion and JSON parsing. The work centered on removing incidental filtering and ensuring parsability of channel maps to deliver reliable downstream data for analytics and decision-making.

April 2025: Delivered JSON-based channel mapping support for DUNE/duneprototypes with CMake integration of nlohmann_json, introduced versioned JSON configuration, and added documentation. The changes enable runtime configurability and improved build reproducibility.

March 2025 monthly summary for DUNE/duneprototypes focusing on delivering flexible configuration management and improving data reliability. This period delivered a JSON-based channel mapping configuration, enabling runtime configuration of channel maps via ReadMapFromJson, and removed reliance on an in-tree json.hpp in favor of an external library. The work reduces hardcoded dependencies and increases maintainability for mapping configurations. In addition, targeted fixes improved data reliability for PDVD-PDS mappings through corrected configuration entries.

February 2025: Delivered the Photon Detector Mapping System for DUNE/duneprototypes, establishing a reusable PDMapAlg base class and a concrete PDVD_PDMapAlg implementation. Integrated PDVD_PDS_Mapping.json containing photon detector mapping data, enabling querying detector types and properties by channel numbers. This lays the groundwork for scalable detector data access and analytics, reducing ad-hoc data handling in downstream workflows.
