Dec 1, 2025

December 2025 monthly summary for movementlabsxyz/aptos-core focusing on CI/CD pipeline and build workflow improvements. Implemented automated CI/CD infrastructure with GitHub Actions for binary compilation (Nix-based) and container publishing to GHCR; added automated multi-step build workflow (build-binary, build-container, build-versions.yaml). Updated aptos-node and aptos-faucet-service Dockerfiles to align with the new pipeline; updated Justfile with container-build recipe. Removed an unnecessary renaming step (movement->aptos) to satisfy Dockerfile expectations, reducing build errors and accelerating deployments. Brought in relevant ci/version-builds files for l1-migration to ensure consistency. These changes delivered robust, versioned builds and reproducible images with faster, more reliable deployments.
