March 2025 (2025-03) GEOS monthly summary for GEOS-DEV/GEOS: Delivered a critical thread-safety bug fix in Geophone data output and improved data integrity. Implemented atomic updates and guarded logic for the receiverIsLocal flag to eliminate race conditions. Added a safe initialization path for Geophone when DAS is inactive to prevent generation of empty files. The changes increase reliability of multi-threaded data capture, reduce potential data loss, and improve operational stability in production. Commit 35a789a454d5e96a75fa608a695c2edf0607bdf5 (Added atomics and a condition to avoid inconsistency of receiverIsLocal flag (#3593)).
