May 2026: Focused on strengthening Harness Schema's pipeline configuration surface by delivering expressions support and fixing validation across components, improving configurability, correctness, and deployment reliability. Changes are localized to harness/harness-schema with clear traceability to PIPE-33807.

April 2026 monthly summary focusing on key accomplishments across harness-schema and drone/go-convert. Delivered reliability improvements for pipeline configuration, introduced a gRPC service for conversion, automated deployment with Helm/Kubernetes, and modernized CI/CD and container image strategy, enabling scalable, secure and faster delivery of pipeline tooling.

March 2026: Harness-schema delivered key schema enhancements to improve pipeline definition usability, validation, and template versioning. Delivered root-level 'pipeline' keyword in the static schema with shorthand support for run steps, and introduced a version 1 template schema with updates to pipelines, templates, and failure strategies in JSON schema definitions. Achieved through two coordinated commits, establishing groundwork for consistent authoring, easier onboarding, and stronger backward compatibility. These changes reduce definition errors, streamline pipeline configuration, and support future feature work.

Month: 2025-12. Delivered a unified, static schema for harness pipeline configurations to improve validation, structure and flexibility of definitions. Implemented static schema support across variables/inputs, steps, strategies, and extended coverage to run/wait, pipeline chain, services, environments, and notification rules. Generated JSON representations to enable tooling interoperability and faster integration with CI/CD pipelines. Addressed runtime shorthand issues and refined path handling for clone and delegate schema to improve reliability of pipeline definitions.
