Sprint 09 Release Notes

Table of Contents

January 2026

This sprint focused on establishing a robust data management infrastructure, including secure connection handling, database schema standardization, and a comprehensive data quality framework.

✅ Highlights

  • New Connection Management System: Introduced ores.connections to manage server environments with AES-256-GCM encrypted credential storage.
  • Database Schema Standardisation: Implemented a strict component-prefixed naming convention across the entire SQL schema for improved maintainability.
  • Data Quality & Provenance Framework: Established a metadata-driven approach to track data lineage, classification (Synthetic vs. Real), and temporal context.
  • Security Centralization: Created a dedicated ores.security module to house shared cryptographic primitives and RAII-based OpenSSL wrappers.

🛠️ Key Improvements

Architecture & Security

  • Security Module: Extracted security logic from IAM and Connections into ores.security. Applied RAII patterns to OpenSSL cipher contexts (std::unique_ptr) to eliminate memory leaks.
  • Component Renaming: Renamed ores.risk to ores.refdata to better align the component name with its actual responsibility of reference data management.
  • PR Management: Consolidated the PR lifecycle into a new pr-manager skill, automating summaries, draft creation, and CI monitoring.

Database & Data Management

  • Namespace Prefixes: Prefixed all database entities with component names (e.g., iam_, refdata_, assets_) and standardized suffixes (e.g., _tbl, _fn).
  • Data Quality Integration: Implemented "Data Passports" to track the Who, What, Where, When, and Why of datasets, supporting bi-temporal reasoning and lineage DAGs.
  • CLI Expansion: Added administrative CLI commands for managing roles, permissions, and geographic data with standardized JSON/Table output formats.

UI & UX (Qt)

  • Connection Browser: Added a new MDI window for hierarchical management of server connections and folders.
  • Secure Login: Integrated master password support and auto-fill capabilities for saved environments.
  • Prodigy Multi-environment Support: Updated Prodigy to allow running services across multiple environments (e.g., different LLM instances) within a single buffer.

⚠️ Known Issues & Postponed

  • * Implement party related entities at database level*: Analysis done but actual implementation to start next sprint.
  • Refactor documentation: Started to improve skills and domain documentation, more work to follow as we get into domain concepts.

📊 Time Summary

  • Total effort: 79h 41m
  • Effort distribution: Code: 73.1% | Infra: 23.2% | Agile: 3.7%
  • Top tasks: UI support for data sets (19h 18m), OCR scan notebooks (11h 31m), Implement data quality (9h 42m).

Next sprint: Focus will shift to moving over to core ref data entities
