November 2024 monthly summary for hmcts/pre-portal and hmcts/sds-flux-config. Key features delivered include cross-browser MkPlayer Safari compatibility, cookie banner text clarity improvement, and feature-flag driven witness last name handling. Major bugs fixed: Safari MkPlayer compatibility issue resolved by Helmet config changes to permit data: URIs and HTML5/HLS playback.

Overall impact: improved cross-browser media reliability, clearer user guidance, and safer data presentation across environments. Skills demonstrated include HTML5/HLS streaming, Helmet configuration, feature flag patterns, and config management. Business value: reduces playback failures in Safari, decreases user friction, and strengthens privacy controls while enabling safe testing across environments.
