October 2025 monthly summary (wormhole-foundation/wormhole): Focused on delivering a config-driven SVM build flow for the Fogo mainnet and stabilizing the build system through a critical governance script fix. Key features delivered: a new configuration file-driven SVM build for Fogo mainnet, enabling explicit chain ID and program addresses, with environment variables passed through to the build. Major bugs fixed: correct make clean invocation in the contract upgrade governance script to ensure proper removal of SVM build artifacts by correctly referencing the SVM name. Overall impact: improved build reproducibility, deployment reliability, and governance-driven upgrade stability for Fogo mainnet; reduced risk of misconfiguration and stale artifacts, supporting faster, safer deployments. Technologies/skills demonstrated: SVM build configuration, config-driven deployment, scripting and Makefile workflows, environment variable handling, artifact cleanup, and governance tooling maintenance.
