Observability enhancements: reintroduced CometBFT JSON log formatting and refined alerting to require widespread SV impact, reducing false positives. Cluster operations: restored essential cluster scripts for backup, restore, and migration to stabilize CI workflows. Frontend reliability: improved test robustness with a 60-second retry for webdrivers during session resets. Performance and resource governance: increased Canton test heap size and reintroduced operator CPU/memory limits in Kubernetes deployments. Impact: strengthened security posture, more reliable deployments and monitoring, and faster incident response, translating to reduced outages and clearer business value.
