Jan 1, 2025

January 2025 monthly summary for qubicsoft/qubic focused on delivering reliable data processing, aligning with upstream tom-dev, and reducing maintenance risk. Key features and enhancements were shipped, alongside targeted bug fixes and code hygiene improvements that collectively improve stability and business value across data handling and atmosphere workflows. Key outcomes: - Delivered QdataHandling updates and IPYNB handling adjustments by merging JCH-2024 changes and selectively disabling ipynb clean/filter to preserve notebook fidelity in data pipelines. - Integrated and synchronized tom-dev work: merged Qatmosphere_2d into main and aligned Atmosphere-related scripts including Atmosphere_MM notebook; ensured cross-repo consistency for faster feature delivery. - Synchronized core modules with tom-dev for MapMaking and related components (MapMaking src, Qforecast, Qsamplings, QskySim) to reduce divergence and simplify maintenance. - Implemented targeted bug fixes and reliability improvements: fixed find_file utility, restored Qacquisition.py from tom-dev to fix broken behavior, and performed photon noise/debugging refinements in notebooks. - Bandpass margin enhancement added to improve robustness of comparisons, complemented by code quality and artifact cleanup (quotes standardization, removal of generated HTML/RST) to reduce noise and maintenance overhead. Overall impact: - Increased reliability and predictability of data processing and atmosphere workflows; reduced maintenance burden through upstream alignment; faster onboarding for changes and safer production deployment. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Python development and data pipeline maintenance; Jupyter/IPYNB handling and notebook hygiene; cross-repo integration and tom-dev synchronization; debugging notebooks and codebase cleanup; version control discipline.
