During a two-month period, Niklas Zbraniecki contributed to the EVerest/everest-core repository by delivering targeted platform and simulation enhancements. He upgraded the Node-RED base image and key UI plugins, using Dockerfile and Node.js to improve security, streamline dependencies, and reduce maintenance risk. In the following month, he developed a C++ command for the car simulator that enables precise State of Charge (SoC) control, incorporating strict input validation to ensure realistic battery modeling. His work focused on robust feature delivery, code quality, and maintainability, providing a foundation for safer integration of energy-management features and more reliable simulation testing.

January 2026: Delivered a new simulation capability in EVerest/everest-core with a Car Simulator: Set State of Charge (SoC) Command. The command includes input validation to ensure SoC values are within a valid range, improving robustness and realism of battery modeling. Impact includes higher fidelity testing for SOC-related scenarios and reduced risk of invalid states propagating through simulations. No major bugs fixed this month; focus was on feature delivery and code quality to enable safer integration of energy-management features.
