Concise monthly summary for 2026-05: Core delivery was a targeted data-model refactor in fenixedu-academic to streamline identification document handling, improve code clarity, and reduce redundancy. The work deprecated legacy emission and expiration-related fields and methods within the Person class, consolidating the identification document model. This reduces technical debt, mitigates data inconsistencies, and sets the foundation for future compliance and data quality improvements. No major bug fixes were completed this month; instead, the focus was on maintainability and long-term reliability. The changes enable safer future feature work and strengthen cross-repo traceability with #qubIT-Fenix-6491.

Month: 2026-04 Overview: Delivered targeted refactor and dependency upgrades to strengthen data integrity, compatibility, and release velocity. Focused on migrating identification data to a dedicated structure, and aligning core and extension dependencies with the latest releases to reduce technical debt and enable new capabilities. 1) Key features delivered - fenixedu-academic: Identification Document Management Refactor — migrated fields from Person to a dedicated IdentificationDocument, introduced LocalDate-based emission and expiration dates in the PersonBean, and tightened synchronization between person and identification attributes.
