Feb 1, 2026February 2026 (Month: 2026-02): Focused on enhancing documentation reliability for awslabs/palace by delivering Versioned Documentation Links. Implemented logic to rewrite GitHub doc links to resolve to the correct documentation version based on tagged releases, ensuring users access the appropriate docs for their version. This reduces user confusion, lowers support overhead, and improves documentation trust across releases. No separate major bugs were reported this month; the work centered on a single feature with clean integration into the release workflow. Technologies demonstrated include: GitHub link rewriting, version-aware release tagging, and maintainability improvements that enhance product quality.
