September 2025: Delivered governance-focused documentation improvements for the AxaFrance design-system. The Release Guide Clarifications document now differentiates two independent release themes ('slash' and 'client') and introduces explicit tag prefixes to improve release planning, traceability, and contributor collaboration. This work reduces ambiguity in releases, enables faster onboarding for new contributors, and strengthens release discipline. No major bugs were fixed this month; stability of the design-system repository was maintained.
