February 2025 focused on strengthening wallet operations observability and consistency by delivering a unified Wallet Event System across credentials, issuances, and presentations. Key changes include refactoring the base Event class into an abstract type, introducing sealed classes for Action and Status, and adding common fields (originator, action, status, callId, error) to all events. Wallet-specific events (CredentialEvent, IssuanceEvent, PresentationEvent) were added to standardize event logging across wallet operations. Implemented across repository: walt-id/waltid-identity with commits f3ccbaa45e1b579077aea30b4cc4e005dd42b4e6 and 23b9089f3883898979595f74c6466af6806ce110. Business impact centers on improved observability, auditing, and analytics, enabling faster debugging and better regulatory compliance.
