In September 2025, the rhdh-plugin-export-overlays project delivered targeted reliability improvements for wiki updates and a new automated testing framework, strengthening CI/CD and the accuracy of compatibility reporting. By implementing robust error handling and dynamic detection of the wiki default branch, along with explicit checkout and push to the correct branch, we eliminated silent failures and ensured compatibility reports reflect the latest changes. A new test workflow with dry-run support and manual triggering now validates wiki updates before deployment, and test report formatting was improved for clearer, more actionable feedback.
