✅ Completed Tasks

• I have performed a self-review of my own code
• I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas -- complexity is reduced
• I have made corresponding changes to the documentation (e.g. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES) -- no environment variable changes necessary in documentation compose files
• My changes generate no new warnings (e.g. Sonar is happy)
• I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works -- a rather heavy setup would be required
• New and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes -- except for those failing without my changes
• Any dependent changes have been merged -- no dependencies
