Worked on the lionelkusch/hidimstat repository to enhance the reliability of version information retrieval, particularly for non-release builds. Addressed a bug where version data could be unavailable by implementing a targeted try-except block around the import of the internal _version module, providing a graceful fallback when a release version was not defined. This approach ensured that version information remained consistently accessible for logging, telemetry, and release governance, reducing gaps in operational traceability. Utilized Python along with skills in package management and version control to improve initialization robustness, supporting more reliable CI/CD pipelines without introducing user-facing feature changes.
