February 2025 summary for govuk-one-login/mobile-id-check-async: Hardened the biometric session finish flow and lifecycle management to improve reliability, security, and business value. Implemented server-side validation for POST /async/finishBiometricSession (required fields validation and v4 UUID for sessionId) with 400 responses and improved error messaging; implemented DynamoDB-backed lifecycle: BIOMETRIC_SESSION_FINISHED and session age validation to prevent expired sessions; updated Lambda handler and configuration; expanded test coverage for validation and lifecycle flows. These changes reduce invalid input risk, prevent stale biometric sessions, and improve robustness of the mobile biometric checks in production.
