Technical Progress
Much DM effort was diverted to making the spectacular First Look images which were released on June 23.
P1a requirements now ~64% formally verified.
A new service Sattle for satellite contamination verification was written and a modified version of Heliolinc in Python to detect and flag satellite “glint” trails was deployed.
A read-only replica of the Butler for Prompt Processing inputs was added to mitigate database contention identified in DMTN-310 from Operations Rehearsal 5.
A new simplified ingestion daemon configuration Rucio tool was deployed. New utilities were added to Batch Production Services to drain jobs, speed up for final job retries, additional user documentation was also added.

Pixel Zone has been further locked down to a specific set of ports making it more secure. Aggregation switches at the Summit were replaced by newer Arista switches and a secondary Internet exit at the base was installed. This exit is completely independent from the NOIRLab exit, and allows to reach internet even if NOIRlab is down.
