Jan 1, 2025January 2025: Garden repository stability enhancement focused on provider initialization and status reporting. Implemented a targeted bug fix to ensure namespaceStatus events are emitted during startup by wiring the event bus early, resolving dangling namespaces and providing accurate status updates. This reduces startup instability, improves observability, and accelerates operator onboarding and confidence in initial deployments.
