This week I focused on keeping our CI pipeline fresh by bumping several GitHub Actions dependencies in the bird-lg-rs project. The activity was purely dependency‑related, with no new features or bug‑fixes merged.
I opened a series of small PRs, each updating a single action to its latest release. The changes were straightforward but required careful testing to ensure the workflow still builds. The most intensive day was Tuesday, with seven commits, followed by another burst on Thursday.
Overall the week was a quiet maintenance sprint, clearing technical debt and aligning our tooling with the latest releases. The effort will pay off in smoother future releases and fewer version conflicts.
