May 1, 2026

May 2026 was focused on delivering a robust DirectWarpTask flow in lsst/drp_tasks, standardizing how single-visit images are warped to a common projection, and strengthening the codebase with infrastructure improvements. The work improves pipeline compatibility, maintainability, and reproducibility across stages, setting the stage for easier downstream analysis and future enhancements. A key bug fix ensured input arguments are not mutated during MakeDirectWarpTask.run, addressing a reproducibility risk and aligning with best practices for immutable inputs.
