Major bugs fixed: - Corrected fylkesenhet derivation when using Norg, fixed URL formation (/norg2 handling), and added safeguards when there are no signatures. - Ensured journalpost finish status is saved consistently, even when finalization is not triggered at creation. - Guarded non-editable content updates; added warnings where appropriate. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Increased accuracy of signaturgrunnlag and unit mapping, reducing manual corrections. - Improved user experience with a new PDF preview flow and stronger letter integrity checks. - Enhanced system observability and environment reliability, enabling faster diagnosis and safer development. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Norg API integration, role-based data handling, Prometheus instrumentation, REST client telemetry, and CI/dev environment adjustments. Business value: - Faster, more reliable letter generation; better compliance with role-based routing; reduced risk through data integrity checks and improved monitoring.

March 2025 monthly summary for navikt/aap-brev: Delivered three core features that strengthen letter workflows, enhanced data-driven personalization via PDL/NOM integration, and improved signature handling with previews. Implemented test robustness and dev/test ergonomics to support ongoing delivery. Key outcomes include a Cancel Letter Order feature with a new API endpoint and state validation, PDL/NOM integration with environment configuration and gateways for person and employee data, and enhanced signature management including endpoints to fetch/preview signatures with privacy-aware formatting. Impact includes faster, more reliable letter cancellation, improved data accuracy for personalized communications, and clearer signer handling with safer privacy rules. Technologies demonstrated span API design and state-driven workflows, PDL/NOM data access patterns, environment configuration, signature retrieval/preview logic, and test/fake infrastructure improvements.

February 2025 deliverables for repo navikt/aap-brev focused on reliability and data fidelity in PDF generation and letter composition. Implemented multilingual date formatting to ensure full-length date strings are consistently applied before PDF generation requests. Enhanced letter generation to support multiple faktagrunnlag values with improved data type mapping and merge logic, enabling richer, accurate communications. Removed the TESTVERDI faktagrunnlag, updated dependencies, and refactored references to ensure only relevant faktagrunnlag types are processed, reducing maintenance risk. Overall this work improves document accuracy, reduces edge-case errors, and simplifies future enhancements through clearer data flow and dependency hygiene. Technologies demonstrated include refactoring for data mapping, language-aware formatting utilities, dependency updates, and multi-value data handling.
