April 2025 performance month focused on reliability, observability, and metadata tooling for palantir/python-compute-module. Key reliability improvement: fixed silent failures on unknown queries by enhancing error handling and logging in InternalQueryService, ensuring invalid queries are reported and visible to operators. Metadata and tooling enhancements: ontologyProvenance support added to static function schema generation, with installable scripts for build-time schema inference. Refactoring and type-definition improvements were completed to support these capabilities and improve maintainability. Overall, these efforts reduce operator toil, accelerate debugging, and provide richer function lineage metadata for downstream consumers.
