December 2025 monthly summary across UTDNebula/jupiter and UTDNebula/utd-trends. Key delivered features and stability work reduced friction for developers and improved customer-facing content discovery, admin capabilities, and data integrity. In UTDNebula/jupiter, we stabilized the CI/CD env wiring for GitHub Actions by removing dummy vars and correcting environment variable wiring, added content listing improvements sorting by page views and updatedAt, completed UI/UX upgrades including Markdown rendering and typography, revamped admin/navigation with proper redirects and Next Link usage, and advanced environment tooling via dotenv usage and drizzle codegen; assets cleanup and image handling improvements (default images, event banners). In UTDNebula/utd-trends, fixed API data handling for GraphQL queries, introduced AI review summaries UI improvements with new RmpSummary component and dynamic refetch on search changes. Across both repos, TanStack integration was extended across officers, contacts, and collaborators to unify data handling; security hardened by HTML sanitization refactor to rehype-sanitize; timezone consistency enforced by locking dates to America/Chicago; ongoing build and quality improvements (lint/format, local build before committing). The combined outcomes are higher data accuracy, improved user experience, stronger security, and faster, more reliable deployments.
