January 2026 (2026-01) — YugabyteDB: Implemented CI linting integration in the PR workflow to run arc lint on diffs against the base branch, improving code quality gates and preventing issues from entering main. This was achieved by updating the PR build workflow and leveraging lint tools installed in the latest build-infra containers (commit 912ca095d8e5922d92a7f322963f2cb0a5c0b7ce). No major bugs fixed this month in yugabyte/yugabyte-db. The changes deliver direct business value by reducing post-merge defects, accelerating review cycles, and strengthening coding standards across the core repository.
