July 2025 (2025-07) monthly summary for Kong/atc-router. Focused on delivering API flexibility through schema ownership and borrowing, improving documentation quality, and strengthening cross-language interoperability. Key outcomes: - API flexibility: Introduced Router ownership model with new_owning and SchemaOwnedOrRef; Router now supports Borrow<Schema> for owned, shared, and borrowed references, with corresponding FFI updates. This reduces memory-management friction and enables safer, more versatile usage patterns across languages. - Documentation quality: Fixed broken markdown links in code comments referencing functions such as schema_new, context_new, context_reset, and router_execute to improve navigation and accuracy. - Cross-language interoperability: Generalized the Router API in a way that simplifies embedding and interop scenarios, laying groundwork for easier integration with external tooling and languages. - Technical excellence: Demonstrated robust Rust ownership/borrowing patterns, improved API ergonomics, and strengthened maintainability through explicit ownership semantics. Overall impact: These changes enhance business value by enabling safer, more flexible integration scenarios, reducing future maintenance costs, and delivering clearer, more navigable documentation for developers.
