September 2025 — GSA/notifications-admin: focus on stability by implementing a targeted socket feature rollback to mitigate risk in production. The rollback disables socket functionality via a configuration flag and updates the generated_at timestamp in the .ds.baseline file to keep baseline integrity and auditability. This work reduces potential socket-related issues while preserving a controlled path to re-enable the feature when conditions permit.
