June 2025: Stability-focused month for AztecProtocol/aztec-packages. No new feature deliveries this month; major effort centered on reducing flaky P2P client integration tests to improve CI reliability and overall release quality. Work focused on updating test pattern matching to properly handle the 'expect(received).toBeDefined()' error and correcting the related regex to avoid false positives in the test suite. Changes were implemented via two hotfix commits, addressing test stability without introducing new features.
