February 2025: Delivered a critical data integrity enhancement in the hearing service by introducing a DEFERRABLE UNIQUE constraint on hearing_response_id in the actual_hearing table, ensuring transactional uniqueness and preventing duplicate records at commit boundaries.

January 2025 summary for hmcts/hmc-cft-hearing-service focused on strengthening data integrity around hearing responses. No new features were delivered this month; the main work involved fixing a bug to enforce a unique, one-to-one mapping between hearing_response_id and actual_hearing, preventing duplicates and improving data reliability for reporting and analytics. The change set was implemented via a small, focused set of commits under the HMAN-898 initiative, including adding a unique constraint, renaming a related file for clarity, and aligning code with the constraint logic. This work reduces data inconsistency risk and lays the groundwork for more robust hearing data management and downstream analytics.
