Month: 2025-08. Focused on hardening the lite release process for Xen Orchestra by integrating build metadata checks into the Vite build and adding a validation step before release. Specifically, embedded the build information (version and git commit) into build.json during the Vite build and verified alignment with the expected values prior to release. This pre-release guard reduces version drift, enhances traceability, and lowers customer-impact risk for lite releases. Repository: vatesfr/xen-orchestra.
