Month: 2025-10 — Kaggle/kaggle-environments. Focused on unblocking CI by temporarily bypassing Werewolf environment tests to allow development and testing to proceed while Werewolf checks run. This month did not introduce end-user features; the main accomplishment was stabilizing the CI workflow and preventing blockers from delaying integration. Commit 7207d1e288eecb23c80f3eab21776d842ed749bd documents the change. As a result, development velocity was preserved and upcoming work can be validated without waiting for Werewolf checks to complete.
