PROFILE
Will Hanlen
Over a three-month period, this developer focused on backend reliability and correctness across the urbit/vere and urbit/urbit repositories. They improved HTTP caching in C by ensuring the cache engaged only for GET requests, aligning with protocol standards and reducing stale data. In Hoon, they corrected public key retrieval logic and refactored the scry pathway for maintainability. Addressing system stability, they fixed a crash in agent revival by updating security context handling and enhanced developer onboarding with targeted documentation for the bob.plot feature. Their work emphasized precise bug fixes, protocol adherence, and clear documentation using C, Hoon, and system programming skills.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for urbit/vere focused on improving HTTP caching correctness. Implemented a guard so the cache is engaged only for GET requests, aligning caching behavior with standard HTTP semantics and preventing cache pollution from non-GET methods. This change reduces stale data, improves data integrity for cached responses, and stabilizes behavior across services that rely on vere caching. The work is captured in the commit 434a96147051ca65d3cd023c4427537026b47b20 with message: "http: only check cache on GET requests".
