July 2025 — LF-Decentralized-Trust-labs/paladin: Strengthened startup reliability for the signing subsystem and standardized internationalization. Implemented startup sequencing fixes to ensure signing module plugins initialize before wallets load, addressing potential deadlocks in key management. Migrated the example signing module to Paladin's i18n library to unify localization, reduce maintenance burden, and improve contributor onboarding. These changes enhance wallet processing reliability, reduce operational risk during startup, and establish a scalable foundation for plugin-based features and localization.
