June 2025 monthly summary – OverlayPlugin/cactbot Key features delivered: - Efficient NetworkLogConverter batch processing and GC yield: Introduced asynchronous batching in the NetworkLogConverter web worker with periodic garbage collection using globalThis.scheduler?.yield(), enabling batch processing of logs for large files and reducing peak memory pressure. - Raidboss data update for Queen Eternal EX: Added THE MINSTREL'S BALLAD: SPHENE'S BURDEN header with ZoneId and a targetable indicator for the targetable phase, improving phase detection and user guidance. Major bugs fixed: - Raidboss tether logic bug: use targetId instead of sourceId: Fixed incorrect ID usage in M8S twofold tempest tether logic by ensuring targetId is used when fetching combatant data, improving tether reliability. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Increased reliability and accuracy of raid tooling for high-end encounters, improved scalability for log processing, and alignment with current boss mechanics and phase definitions. These changes reduce false positives/negatives and provide more actionable guidance for raiders. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - JavaScript/TypeScript, Web Workers, asynchronous batching, garbage-collection aware processing, data schema updates, commit-driven development, and collaboration around raid-performance tooling.
