Week ending 2026-07-19 (Week 29)
Back to security-heavy work this week 
. I focused on developing two fixes for confirmed vulnerabilities, and did involved reviews for other two from Jacob. There were some interesting back-and-forth to get details right 
, and since I am the designated releaser for the next August release, I also started prepping for the prenotifications and building CVE metadata 
. To find some joy, I kept iterating on the improvements for EmailValidator 
.
