May 2026 (Month: 2026-05) focused on data correctness and operator clarity in the icanbwell/fhir-server repo. Delivered two key contributions that improve data integrity during write operations and improve operator understanding through documentation. Key achievements: - Documentation: Clarified unclassified tagging behavior and manual overrides; updated README to reflect current behavior and override semantics (commit 40dfd18fe98adcce330b27689e24933887a78ccc; PAY-1706). - Data consistency: Enforced reads from PRIMARY for all write operations (update, patch, remove, merge) and added tests verifying read preference PRIMARY for these operations; scope extended to fastMerger and related flows (commit 31ce52689d6919c27a475d3e67b506f960efe1c3; PAY-1831). - Testing and resilience: Expanded test coverage to guard against stale reads and validate primary-read behavior across delete graph and related paths.

Monthly summary for 2026-03 for icanbwell/fhir-server focused on strengthening access control, security, and deployment reliability. Key features delivered include Delegated Actor Access and Consent Management implemented via JWT claims (new userType: delegatedUser, actor nesting, safety checks, and organization context) with supporting components (DelegatedAccessRulesManager, DelegatedAccessScopeManager) and consent policy integration for auditability. CI/CD and Infrastructure enhancements completed by merging main into NN-PAY-971, introducing updates to security scanning workflows, testing, and Docker configurations to improve deployment reliability. Commits of note include a5db1c0c4598e904a6ec3dd7fd8c247cffe7abb3 for the CI/CD merge, plus multiple PAY-971 and PAY-1128 contributions around delegated access and consent (e.g., 6482899feac917a21474feb9d45b6f9600747750, 3326b39131d07ad0b90f951bdc1620c9f0c9ba1c, 2e6d88f57226449c89f223bd7272a8e1a3604e3a). Major bugs fixed include input validation Operator logic corrected to && in AuthService (fbfb829d27442df947d484d667d5d2224ba24e42) and Keycloak duplicate configuration cleanup (2cecbaef1d86980ac4ecd3e6646df3cd99ec85a9, bb25969ecf7b1ab86212fc77d2b7b348c6f3664b).
