March 2026 monthly summary for hackforla/tdm-calculator: Implemented version-aware guidelines display in both the Calculator Wizard UI (page 5) and the PDF footer, enhancing traceability and compliance. The change includes a refactor to move formatCalculation into a shared Calculations.js module to improve reusability across components, and layout adjustments to accommodate the new version text. PDF footer height was increased to ensure the Guidelines Version is clearly visible in exports. These changes reduce ambiguity about which guidelines were used and improve the end-user experience when reviewing results or printed reports.

February 2026: hackforla/tdm-calculator delivered standardized archival date formatting and date-handling improvements to the Archived Accounts and Projects UIs, using YYYY-MM-DD and preserving Pacific Time where applicable. Changes were implemented across two commits (13b9ff044cd87f8420c71a44a9a113ca5dc511f8 and e777a7f70cda97c5006b6336d2b9b64857668646) with co-authored contributions, ensuring consistent display for Created On, Last Saved, and Archive Date. Maintenance work included updating the root package-lock.json to reflect updated dependencies. These updates enhance data readability, UI consistency, and trust in archival data, reducing user confusion and enabling more reliable archival analytics.
