December 2025 (Month: 2025-12): Focused on simplifying the AWS Sidekick data model in lacework/go-sdk, delivering a cleaner API surface and improved maintainability. Primary effort was removing the scanShortLivedInstances boolean from the AwsSidekickData and AwsSidekickOrgData structures, along with updating related tests. This refactor reduces code complexity and future maintenance risk, enabling faster iterations on AWS-sidekick functionality. No major bugs fixed this month; the work was dominated by refactor and test alignment with the new model.
