February 2026 (DEFRA/epr-calculator-frontend): Architectural cleanup focused on controller constructors, removing an unused tokenAcquisition parameter across controllers to simplify code, reduce dependencies, and improve maintainability and testability. This aligns with ongoing codebase refactoring and reduces architectural complexity within the core frontend. The month delivered a cleaner constructor surface, improved testability, and prepared groundwork for future refactors. There were no user-visible feature enhancements this month; the primary value lies in long-term maintainability, lower maintenance costs, and faster, safer feature delivery in subsequent sprints.
