Aug 1, 2025August 2025 monthly delivery for companieshouse/test-data-generator focused on strengthening access control in generated data by introducing role-based flags and groundwork for admin features. Implemented admin_user flag on User, added is_admin field in UserSpec, and wired UserServiceImpl to initialize admin state from input (default false). This enables engineers and test pipelines to generate admin-directed data safely and supports future admin interfacing.
