Summary for 2025-08 (hiero-ledger/hiero-mirror-node): Delivered targeted improvements to API exposure control, startup performance, and transaction safety, alongside reinforced robustness tests. Implemented a feature-flag mechanism to gate API endpoints via ingress with a fallback to the original JavaScript API for unavailable endpoints, and introduced ApplicationWarmup to proactively preload web3 resources during Kubernetes readiness probes. Fixed a critical concurrency issue in the transaction execution path by synchronizing the factory create method, and expanded importer robustness with tests validating error handling for out-of-order blocks. The combined work enhances reliability, reduces startup latency, and strengthens data integrity in production deployments.
