August 2025 (spectrocloud/CanvOS): Focused on release engineering to prepare 4.7.a. Updated build configuration to pin LUET to v4.7.1-rc.1 and defined canonical versions for the release, enabling reproducible builds and smoother deployment across environments. Implemented via two commits (02d9d553fa90f17ce5972b503a7616608e89eb2f and 52f97db5cefa3847fc9862e52a6338a6e78d24d7) that finalize the 4.7.a release readiness. No major bug fixes were required this period; the team concentrated on stabilizing the release pipeline and improving traceability. This work reduces drift, accelerates the release cycle, and provides a solid foundation for subsequent patches.
