August 2025 (input-output-hk/ouroboros-leios) focused on strengthening Leios Network documentation quality and maintainability. Delivered substantial documentation enhancements, including an expanded Information Exchange Requirements (IER) table and clarified, expanded coverage of mini-protocols for EB distribution, voting, and certificate construction. Refactored Network and CIP documentation for readability, consistency, and accuracy. These updates improve onboarding, interoperability, and governance compliance by reducing ambiguity in protocol flows and ensuring alignment with CIP specifications. No major bugs fixed this month; value delivered through clearer docs and maintainability improvements.
