Worked on the hashgraph/hedera-smart-contracts repository to upgrade its core dependency to Next.js 14.2.25, focusing on maintaining deployment stability throughout the process. The approach involved temporarily disabling label and issue gating checks to ensure compatibility with the new framework version, then re-enabling them after successful validation. This workflow required careful dependency management and coordination with existing CI/CD pipelines, leveraging JavaScript and Next.js expertise. The upgrade preserved release reliability and aligned framework updates with ongoing business needs. No bugs were addressed during this period, as the primary focus was on feature delivery and ensuring seamless integration of the updated dependency.
