Week ending 2025-08-17 (Week 33)
This week was a brain and energy drain 
, but with a positive outcome! 
About half my time went into reviewing and landing Template Partials (now in main for 6.0 
), around a third into diagnosing and addressing Jenkins CI issues, and the rest split between meetings and new Fellow onboarding tasks.
