February 2026 (2026-02): Focused on reliability and enterprise-readiness for Headlamp. No new user-facing features were delivered this month; major work centered on fixes that improve operation behind authentication proxies and during shutdown. Implemented robust shutdown for watcher goroutines and ensured cookies are properly sent when fetching manifests behind proxies. These changes reduce downtime, prevent resource leaks, and improve stability in enterprise environments. Technologies demonstrated include Go context-based shutdown patterns, OS signal handling, HTML cross-origin attributes for authenticated fetches, and goroutine lifecycle management. Business value: smoother proxy-based deployments, fewer outages during shutdown, and better long-term maintainability.
