June 2025 monthly summary for mozilla/gecko-dev: Replaced an xpcshell script with a Python-based tool for generating CA telemetry IDs by reading certdata.txt, updated telemetry metrics by appending '_2' to their names, and retired legacy histograms. This reduces dependencies, simplifies telemetry pipelines, and improves data quality and maintainability. Collaboration with the telemetry and code style reviewers ensured robust changes and alignment with project standards.
