March 2026: Delivered a robust enhancement to the Report Selection Filter in ministryofjustice/bichard7-next-core. Implemented comprehensive validation for date ranges and dropdown selections, improved user feedback with clear error messages, and refactored date handling using date-fns to improve reliability and maintainability. Changes included moving date range inputs into a dedicated component, refining min/max date logic, and updating tests to cover validation scenarios and edge cases (including API call checks and validation message constants).
