July 2025 monthly summary for qgds-bootstrap5: Delivered test reliability and UI enhancements to the design system, reducing flakiness and enabling faster iteration. Key features include Accordion interaction testing improvements (broadened collapse-event coverage), Filter button integration with correct sizing and small-size support, JSDOM test environment reliability improvements, dark palette support, and initial SVG icon setup for filterable tags. Major bugs fixed include event-driven interaction replacing timeouts to reduce flakiness and revert of a whitespace formatting change. Additional improvements include code quality refactors (console.log removal, focus styles extracted to a mixin, prettier-ignore blocks) and documentation updates. Impact: more stable CI feedback, consistent component behavior across themes, and easier maintenance; Tech: JavaScript/TypeScript, JSDOM-based tests, CSS theming, and design-system patterns.
