High-level summary
This week, the Hydra team improved Github actions workflows, addressed protocol parameter schema consistency in hydra-node, and made enhancements to log schema tests. They created an Architectural Decision Record (ADR) for Cardano transactions serialization in APIs, moved the hydra-chess project to a dedicated repository, and resolved a bug in quickcheck-dynamic and model tests.
