Monthly summary for 2025-08 (scality/cloudserver): Delivered a feature to relax the content-md5 header requirement across bucket APIs, making the MD5 header optional and validating it only when present. This applies to put-bucket-cors, delete-objects, bucketPutCors, and multiObjectDelete, with test updates to reflect the new behavior. Also performed a maintenance/config update by bumping a dependency in package.json. Overall, the work enhances API call flexibility while preserving data integrity, with targeted tests and code quality improvements.
