Month: 2025-09 — Focused on deployment engineering and process improvements in ethereum/hive. Delivered targeted Ethrex Docker deployment enhancements to improve reliability, reproducibility, and developer onboarding. Implemented a default Docker tag aligned with the main development line and added a multi-stage Dockerfile to build Ethrex from source (Rust) and produce a runnable image with required scripts. These changes reduce environment drift, speed up new contributor onboarding, and enhance CI/CD consistency. No publicized critical bugs fixed this month in this repository; the emphasis was on delivering robust deployment tooling and maintainable build artifacts.
