April 2025 monthly summary for upciti/wakemeops: Delivered critical DevOps tooling updates to align with the latest releases of core tooling (act, argocd, carvel-ytt, goreleaser, Bitwarden CLI, and others). Updated versions and download metadata across YAML configurations to ensure compatibility and streamline deployments. Implemented a targeted CI/CD improvement by enforcing the ops2deb format command in the Makefile update target to fix formatting issues in the pipeline (temporary until a cleaner solution is in place). These changes reduce deployment risks, shorten release cycles, and improve consistency across environments. Key commits include feat: update blueprints (762d7c970b6fff5a36e3696b098ccc67e5a9ff0a) and fix(bitwarden-cli): update fetch url (54aa56db1ead399162f020e72d454a2e93cec7f0) for the DevOps tooling, and fix(ci): run ops2deb format until a cleaner fix is found (b15d5b2f42872abff9d23b9755210717be2bbe79).
