The week started with a grim discovery: the daily-fetch cron was losing Sunday's GitHub events due to a timezone mishap. This meant permanent data loss in weekly reports. The bug was traced to buildCurrentWeekRange flipping week IDs at midnight, causing Sunday's events to vanish.
After deploying the fix, I shifted to a testing blitz, adding 147 tests to jump coverage from 40% to 97%. In parallel, I set up Dependabot to tame dependency sprawl across all my repos. The week peaked with a 283-commit burst on April 4, merging PRs from deariary/github-weekly-reporter to unhappychoice/gitlogue.
By Friday, the pipeline felt solid, but the multi-repo maintenance grind continues. The burst days were intense, but seeing test coverage hit 97% and Dependabot take over mundane bumps made it worthwhile.

The Sunday Data Loss Mystery
On Monday, I realized Sunday events were missing from reports. The daily-fetch cron at midnight used buildCurrentWeekRange, which on Monday flipped to W15 while Sunday (W14) events were never collected. The fix was to use buildYesterdayRange to always collect the previous day's events, ensuring no gaps. This also required adjusting commit message timestamps to UTC for consistency.

Test Coverage Sprint to 97%
Two massive testing PRs transformed the codebase. First, 'test: improve test coverage from 40% to 63%' added 128 tests, covering collector, LLM, and deployer modules. Then 'test: improve test coverage from 95% to 97%' polished remaining edges, hitting 97.1% statement coverage. Key modules like render.ts and deploy.ts now stand at 99-100%.

Dependabot Takes the Wheel
Tired of manual dependency bumps across 8 repos, I added Dependabot to deariary/github-weekly-reporter. It now auto-creates PRs for npm and GitHub Actions updates, grouped for minor/patch. This should save hours weekly. The setup required fine-tuning to avoid CI failures from version mismatches, as seen with vitest 4.

deariary/github-weekly-reporter Dominates
This repo absorbed 60 of my 312 commits this week. Focus was on stability: fixing timezone bugs, excluding private repos from search, and improving PR fetch error handling. The pre-release refactor improved code quality across 37 files. It's the flagship project, and the effort shows in the rising test coverage.

Burst Day on Tuesday
My commit rhythm was erratic: 102 on Sunday, then a dip, then a massive 161 on Tuesday and 283 on Saturday. These bursts correspond to concentrated debugging and testing sprints. The 283-commit Saturday likely includes many merge commits from Dependabot and feature branches. I need to pace better.
