2025-04 Monthly Summary for DUNE-DAQ/fdreadoutlibs: Focused on packaging/configuration maintenance, data integrity, and timestamp fidelity. Delivered minor version bumps for fdreadoutlibs (2.2.0 -> 2.3.0 -> 2.3.1), fixed data conversion correctness by correcting frame-to-trigger primitive version mapping, and improved timestamp realism by adjusting fake timestamp generation to align with the updated expected_tick_difference. These changes enhance deployment stability, ensure accurate data lineage during frame-to-trigger conversion, and improve simulation fidelity for testing and analysis.
