Mar 1, 2026March 2026: Implemented an automated Dependabot PR labeling and merging workflow in starcoin, significantly reducing manual review and speeding up dependency updates. The feature operates via GitHub Actions to auto-label Dependabot PRs, preserve labels for cargo updates, and auto-merge after successful CI (commit 36d61f5d27f267477db30525b75a420785f7d97c). This change improves CI/CD efficiency, ensures consistent PR categorization, and accelerates release cadence.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 monthly summary for starcoinorg/starcoin: Delivered a VM-based transaction execution overhaul and corrected gas accounting for force upgrade transactions, delivering improved performance, clearer isolation, and greater reliability in upgrade flows. Key work included refactoring transaction processing to run separate VM instances per transaction type with a unified default state view, yielding faster and more predictable execution; preventing gas charges for force upgrade transactions by setting gas price to zero and validating gas usage during mining; and stabilizing CI/tests by selecting the default VM executor to fix test failures. These changes enhance platform scalability, reduce upgrade risk, and demonstrate strong proficiency in VM architecture, gas accounting, and test automation, translating to measurable business value through improved throughput and user trust.
