December 2024 monthly summary for the DEFRA/epr-regulator-service. Focused on improving data quality and user input integrity by delivering a targeted validation enhancement for email inputs. The change enforces trimming of trailing spaces in the controller and applies stricter validation rules in the ViewModel, ensuring clean, correctly formatted email addresses before persistence and downstream processing. This reduces the likelihood of malformed data entering regulatory workflows and improves overall reliability of email communications and user data handling.
