April 2025 monthly summary for kestra-io/plugin-fs focused on targeted bug fix and dependency update to support the updated execution flow. The SSH Command Plugin underwent deprecation-related cleanup, removing the warningOnError behavior to align with the deprecation and the current execution logic. A new build-time dependency on kestra-script was added to support the revised execution flow and ensure compatibility with upcoming changes. This change reduces runtime surprises and improves maintainability across the plugin, with minimal risk to existing users.

March 2025 (kestra-io/kestra): Conducted a controlled experiment on HttpClient default options by introducing a default HttpConfiguration and expanding tests for no-options requests and unknown storage interface; the implementation was reverted to remove the default configuration and related tests. This work demonstrated disciplined experimentation, strong test coverage, and a safe rollback process to preserve stability while informing future design decisions.
