August 2025: Delivered targeted UI polish, layout enhancements, and reliability improvements across aemsites/cmegroup and adobe/helix-cli. Key changes include removing the lightbox expand icon shadow for a cleaner UI, adding a responsive 30-70 column layout variant for the Columns Block, updating logging to be compatible with helix-log 7.0.0, and preserving user-specified pagesUrl during git reconfiguration. Fixed bug in Tag Cloud to render tags only when a title exists, preventing empty/malformed tags. These changes improve visual consistency, content presentation on large screens, reliability of configuration workflows, and tagging accuracy.
