Part of the team is on holidays this week. The rest of us focused on:

---

• Continue with the process of extracting changes from our integration branch into PRs targetting main after the 11.1 release:

  • From last week:
    • We addressed the feedback received in Peras 27 to 37, and all these PRs are ready to merge after the 11.1 release.
  • New PRs:
    • Peras 38: Introduce ChainDepStateSupportsPeras auxiliary class (approved, waiting for 11.1 release)
    • Peras 39: Tweak Peras parameters and add necessary instances (approved, waiting for 11.1 release)
    • Peras 40: Introduce LedgerStateSupportsPeras auxiliary type class (approved, waiting for 11.1 release)
    • Peras 41: Tweak PerasCertDB to return status of latest certificate seen (approved, waiting for 11.1 release)
    • Peras 42: Rework Peras round tracking in HardFork summary queries (approved, waiting for 11.1 release)
    • Peras 43: Move Test.Consensus.Committee.Utils to Test.Util.Committee (approved, waiting for 11.1 release)
    • Peras 44: Introduce Peras epoch context resolution machinery (under review)

• Continue iterating on the Peras testnet. We have decided to implement the bootstrapping stage by coordinating the governance actions needed to transition from the Conway to the Dijkstra era. As opposed to forcing the testnet to start in the Dijkstra era directly, this approach will help us troubleshoot future deployment issues in advance.
