We’ve added documentation for the Definition of Done to the Technical Hub at https://docs.releaf.com, so there’s now a clearer shared standard for when work is actually complete, covering implementation, review, QA, accessibility, release readiness, and production deployment.

We’re also adding a new Analytics section that captures the current implementation in more detail. That should make the existing setup easier to understand and maintain, and give us a better foundation for extending analytics within the Analytics Baseline project.

Work on the Engineering Standards initiative is underway. We have launched a new Engineering Hub at https://docs.releaf.com, which includes ADRs (Architectural Decision Records) to explain key engineering decisions and provide guidance for the team. The hub will continue to be enhanced to support onboarding and workflows.

In addition, improvements have been made to package versioning and publishing using Nx, helping ensure more consistent and reliable engineering practices across projects.
