December 2025: Architectural refactor to centralize data access using Entity Manager across vivid-planet/comet and vivid-planet/comet-starter. This delivered standardized DB access, reduced per-repository injections, and improved maintainability and testability, enabling faster future feature delivery and easier onboarding. No major bugs fixed this month; the work establishes a robust foundation for scalable data operations.

October 2025 focused on strengthening upgrade guidance for Comet, aligning migration steps with current tooling and reducing post-upgrade build and lint friction.

In April 2025, delivered the Comet Starter Fixture Generation System for vivid-planet/comet-starter, introducing fixture services for blocks and documents and seeding the database with realistic test data via new image and video assets. This work reduces manual data setup, accelerates local development and testing, and provides a solid foundation for end-to-end scenarios in the project’s dev environment. No major bugs were reported this month; changes are isolated to fixture generation and data seeding and are ready for broader QA and integration testing.
