Over a two-month period, Alex Salikhov focused on foundational improvements to the XRPLF/rippled repository, targeting both code quality and build system modernization. He established a consistent code formatting baseline using clang-format, enforcing a 100-character column width to enhance readability and streamline code reviews. In parallel, Alex modernized the build pipeline by replacing legacy cmake-format tooling with gersemi, refactoring CMake files for clarity and maintainability. His work leveraged C++, CMake, and YAML, introducing support for multiple build configurations and optimizing dependency management. These efforts improved long-term maintainability, accelerated continuous integration, and reduced friction for contributors working across diverse environments.
