February 2026 (2026-02) – Lunatic-Labs/rubricapp: Delivered foundational TypeScript migration tooling and CI/CD automation, enhanced code quality, and stabilized the codebase with targeted bug fixes. Key outcomes include JS-to-TS tooling expansion, extended CI pipelines for tests and builds, and deployment/system control scripts to improve reliability. Code quality improvements encompassed lint cleanup (removing console logs) and import fixes. Stability was restored by reverting Skil 690 changes to the prior layout and functionality. Asset handling and environment parity were corrected with fixes for PNG asset imports and TypeScript declaration naming, plus Redis service naming restored to master conventions in setup scripts. These efforts reduce deployment risk, shorten iteration cycles, and establish a solid foundation for ongoing TypeScript migration and feature delivery.
