Aug 1, 2025

Monthly summary for 2025-08: Delivered a critical bug fix improving AXI error propagation for the AXI to AXI4-Lite core within bedrock-rtl. The change ensures correct aggregation of error responses when a transaction is split across multiple beats, propagating the first non-OKAY error as defined by the AXI specification, enhancing reliability for multi-beat transactions.
