May 2025 performance summary for OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-monitor: Implemented cross-channel Markdown notifications with HTML rendering for emails, and added message-length validations for Telegram/Discord. Updated dependencies, tests, and docs across Telegram, Discord, Slack, and email channels. Strengthened configuration safety by introducing strict validation against unknown fields and enforcing unique names and slugs for monitors, networks, and triggers with case-insensitive normalization. Fixed non-deterministic Stellar ledger processing to ensure a deterministic, auditable transaction history. Improved developer documentation for custom scripts with clearer guidance, JavaScript/Python examples, and updated Cargo.lock dependencies. These changes increased reliability, reduced configuration errors, and improved alert clarity and developer onboarding.
