January 2026 (2026-01) — UMEP-dev/SUEWS: Delivered architectural improvements, reliability fixes, and developer workflow enhancements that reduce risk, accelerate development cycles, and improve user feedback across the SUEWS stack. Highlights include a major skill-architecture refactor, a direct Pydantic-to-Fortran execution interface (DTS), and CI/dev workflow enhancements, plus targeted bug fixes that stabilize numerical results and CI reliability. Key items delivered and their business/technical impact: - Skill renaming refactor and thin SKILL.md split (cb227bee3615c0c2cca1ff6ed8bea5d471cf888f): aligns command surface with renamed skills (e.g., audit-pr → audit-pr-skill), reduces context window for per-skill references, and preserves full behavioral output while simplifying documentation. Improves maintainability and reduces risk of drift in skill references. - Initialise NumCapita to prevent NaN in CO2 flux (eabab67310352e51a2afda307ecab9f4040bc628): fixes runtime NaN propagation in DP_x_RhoPop and QF_SAHP, ensuring stable CO2 flux calculations and trustworthy model outputs. - Add SessionStart hook for Claude Code web environment (ab63364d82ab3c9622d4b207726fb4c0b1cf0922): automates environment setup (compilers, tags, venv) and dev dependencies, enabling reliable local development and faster onboarding for Claude Code users. - DTS interface for direct Pydantic-to-Fortran execution (GH-1045) (5995228ce7f7c2514baf022d17b7c4692d9b9f40): introduces a new direct execution path from Pydantic configs to the Fortran kernel, including new DTS module structure and batch execution capabilities. Delivers a scalable pathway with bit-identical results and improved performance for certain workloads, enabling faster experimentation and closed-loop validation. - Build/Dev workflow improvements: Add workflow_dispatch configuration and make dev targets split for speed (388f0133dba4b28d4efd1dedefbbf3b564499bac; a27e57e888f3ccda26ccea07d4d105e0be7e3af1): empowers flexible, faster development cycles, reduces CI queue times, and accelerates local validation of changes. Improves developer experience and CI efficiency. Major bugs fixed: - Initialise NumCapita NaN propagation (eabab673...): stabilized CO2 flux calculations when population density is not met. - Fix CI: UMEP NumPy ABI and scipy manylinux2014 compatibility (1120a9be...): resolves nightly build failures and ensures wheels are compatible across Python versions. - Remove stdout writes that crash QGIS (c70e3512...): eliminates crash-prone prints and guard output, improving GUI stability. - Pandas 3.0 compatibility fixes (9812ecdd...): ensures compatibility with CoW and asfreq adjustments across test suites. - Validation error flag reset before kernel call (63baf89a...): prevents stale errors from leaking into subsequent runs. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Architecture and maintainability: major refactors to skills and DTS unlock a cleaner, scalable codebase and improved onboarding for new contributors. - Reliability: fixes for NaN handling, Pandas 3.0 compatibility, and validation/error state management reduce runtime risk and false alarms. - Developer productivity: CI/dev workflow enhancements and a more efficient testing path shorten cycle times and improve feedback loops. - Observability and UX: warnings for auto-normalisation of surface fractions and clearer error handling improve user trust and debugging efficiency. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Python, Fortran interop with f90wrap and DTS integration, Pydantic-driven configurations. - Advanced CI/CD: workflow_dispatch, split dev targets, reusable workflows, and build matrix refinement. - Documentation and docs tooling: Sphinx-gallery, CI docs robustness, and skill/documentation refactoring. - Version/branch hygiene: improved arch, debuggability, and release-note integration.

Dec 1, 2025

December 2025 (2025-12) delivered a series of reliability, testing, and deployment improvements across the UMEP/SUEWS stack, with a strong emphasis on business readiness and build stability. The team vendored the f90wrap runtime and patched the build to use the vendored sources, eliminating a runtime pip dependency and enabling pip-free installs of supy on Python 3.13/3.14. A comprehensive QGIS/UMEP compatibility test suite (GH-901) was added to validate end-to-end integration, ensuring import paths, API signatures, and workflow correctness for UMEP plugins. Test stability was significantly improved by suppressing noisy warnings from pandas and atmosp, reducing noise from hundreds of warnings to a manageable set. CI/CD and documentation were enhanced with docs build testing, PR previews, and RTD alignment, improving the reliability of documentation builds. Brand and GitHub Pages workflows were hardened to reliably deploy brand assets to suews.io and update domain references, reducing 404s and deployment fragility. Technologies demonstrated include vendored runtimes, build-system patching, Meson/Makefile integration, Python packaging, pytest-based QA, Sphinx docs, and GitHub Actions for CI and Pages deployment.
