Jul 1, 2025July 2025 for firelab/windninja focused on improving visualization reliability and naming consistency. Delivered two changes: (1) KML Output Legend Width Guard — enforce a minimum 285 px legend width and fallback default when insufficient, preventing truncation or display issues in map outputs; (2) Weather Model Name Standardization — align model naming to PASTCAST-GCP-HRRR-CONUS-3-KM across the codebase, reducing confusion and ensuring consistency with other models. These commits reduce support risk, improve downstream data reliability, and streamline future enhancements.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for firelab/windninja: Addressed a targeted bug in Nomad model key EXT detection to improve accuracy of weather data key mapping. The fix ensures that an EXT key is identified only when both the Nomad model filename and the key name contain 'EXT', correcting cases where EXT keys were not being found and reducing misclassifications in downstream analytics.
