Worked on internal improvements to the publication workflow in the BIBSYSDEV/nva-publication-api repository, focusing on enhancing reliability and data quality. Refactored the PublishingRequestResolver in Java to streamline the process of checking for pending files, consolidating logic to reduce the risk of misclassification and improve maintainability. Updated the publicationContext.json configuration to introduce new fields and adjust metadata, aligning the data model for better compatibility with downstream systems. Addressed a build issue in the main branch to stabilize the CI/CD pipeline. The work leveraged backend development and configuration management skills, emphasizing robust data handling and future-proofing publication records.
