Migrated all wiki/documentation references to https://wiki.lyrion.org/ across HTML and Perl, including changelog and module docs.

March 2025 (tree-sitter/tree-sitter): Focused on build stability and minimal-configuration support. Delivered robust 'make install' for parsers with zero queries by conditionally installing query files, preventing install-time failures and improving packaging reliability. This reduces downstream CI failures and simplifies embedding of parsers.

January 2025 — ImranR98/apps.obtainium.imranr.dev: Delivered GNU Emacs development environment support, adding project-specific configuration files and scripts to streamline contributor workflows. No major bugs fixed this month; the focus was on tooling, onboarding improvement, and establishing editor-specific integration for future work. Impact: faster onboarding for Emacs users, more consistent development environments, and a solid foundation for broader editor tooling. Technologies/skills demonstrated include configuration management, scripting, and version control discipline with emphasis on editor integration. Business value: improved contributor experience, reduced setup friction, and potential for broader participation.

November 2024 monthly wrap-up focused on delivering a deployment enhancement for Tree-sitter parser distribution, enabling query files to be installed with parser libraries across build systems (CMake and Make). This ensures syntax highlighting and query-based tooling remains correctly packaged and available post-build, reducing downstream integration friction and improving developer productivity.
