June 2025 highlights across SU-HSDO/suhumsci, Yale Sites projects, and component libraries focused on editor experience, data integrity, accessibility, and platform governance. Key deliverables include the Siteimprove integration with a dedicated hs_siteimprove module delivering in-Drupa l broken-link reporting; admin UI enhancements with role descriptions; and protective measures to prevent editing of imported fields on edit forms. Yale Sites shipped site settings enhancements (data-font-pairing attribute on the body and font preview), environment indicator module with configuration and permissions, and taxonomy/refactor work to simplify governance. Additional gains include coffee module command automation, UI/menu cleanup, image/spotlight caption support, and semantic HTML heading improvements in atomic/spotlight components. These efforts reduce editorial toil, safeguard migrations, and improve accessibility, branding consistency, and operational observability.
