March 2026: Delivered foundational stability and maintainability improvements across runfinch/finch and runfinch/finch-daemon by upgrading Go toolchains and CI configurations. Key changes include CI Go version upgrades (finch to 1.25.7 and daemon components with 1.25.x) and a comprehensive code quality upgrade in finch-daemon (Go 1.25.x, lint v2.x, and updated lint config). No major user-facing features or bugs fixed this month; these changes reduce build times, improve reliability, and position the codebase for faster release cycles. Overall impact: more reliable CI, cleaner code, and better alignment with upcoming feature work.
