October 2025 OpenTripPlanner monthly summary focusing on API modernization, reliability, and developer velocity. Delivered a broad refactor to adopt withX builders across core builders (FareAttributeBuilder, AStarBuilder, TransitPreferences.Builder, DebugRequestBuilder, JourneyRequestBuilder, TransitRequestBuilder) to enable fluent construction and safer defaults. Refactored EncodedPolyline: moved to o.o.api.model.geometry, removed Serializable, added lazy initialization, renamed encode() to of(), and exposed distance calculations in GraphQL. Renamed TripDelaysDto to TripDelaysAgregator across the codebase for clarity. Documentation updates added CLAUDE.md, Empirical Delay Sandbox docs, and a PR rejection template. Fixed release workflow: checked bump.ser.ver.id in custom-release.py and switched changelog to use next-version-tag. Addressed code quality from reviews (requireNonNull, replace withX, fixed empiricalDelay typos).
