High-level summary​

The last two weeks, the Hydra team achieved several milestones. They published the monthly report for October, providing updates on project developments. The team delivered a presentation and workshop at the Cardano Summit, contributing to community engagement. They implemented a \"dirt road\" solution for the \"Ignored init tx\" notification and moved the hydra-poll example project to a dedicated repository. Additionally, the team built a hydra-chain-observer tool for Hydra Heads, updated the toolchain to GHC 9.6.3, and made various improvements to tooling and code formatting. They addressed specific issues, such as fixing the gen-hydra-keys command and resolving concerns with the rewritten hydra-tui. The team also enhanced the hydra-cluster smoke test suite by fetching network configurations dynamically. Lastly, they actively reviewed pull requests and architectural decision records from the community, including contributions from SundaeSwap. An experiment, the Hydra tally, was completed and successfully deployed to the mainnet by the Cardano Foundation.
