• N/A

Recommended Updates:

• Update the cardano-parts pin to this release version v2025-07-23
• Apply the template Justfile diff and patch or clone recipes on files described below.

Action Items:

Diff and patch the following files with just template-diff "$FILE" and then just template-patch "$FILE". Looking at the short PR diff for these files found at directory templates/cardano-parts-project/ prior to diffing and patching against your own repo can also be helpful.

Alternatively, if you know you would just like to mirror any of these template files without diffing or patching, use the
just template-clone "$FILE"` recipe.

scripts/bash-fns.sh               # For a new return-utxo function
scripts/recipes/governance.just   # For updates to query-gov-action-status recipe

Known Issues:

• If a local node is started using just start-node $NETWORK with no or partial pre-existing state present, a file write error may be encountered during startup. Resolve this by adding write permission to the config directory for the network, typically found at: chmod -R +w ~/.local/share/$REPO/config.
