 ### Added
 
-- added required versions of jinja2 `3.1.6` and cryptography `44.0.1` to avoid vulnerabilities
 - added `Makefile` integrating `rios0rios0/pipelines` for standardized `make lint`, `make test`, and `make sast` targets
-- added multi-stage `app.Dockerfile` at `.ci/stages/40-delivery/` for Docker delivery with semver tagging
 - added full CI pipeline (`python.yaml`) with code checks, security scanning, and tests to the GitHub Actions workflow

 ### Changed
 
 - changed CI workflow to use a single `pdm-docker.yaml` call instead of separate `python.yaml` + `python-docker.yaml` jobs, matching the standard pipeline composition pattern
-- updated required Python version from `3.9` to `3.13.12`
-- updated safety version from `3.0.1` to `3.5.1` to address vulnerabilities
-- updated build backend from deprecated `pdm-pep517` to `pdm-backend`
 - renamed `safety-check` script to `safety-scan` to match the pipelines convention
 - updated PR templates to reference `make lint`, `make test`, and `make sast` instead of manual `pdm run` commands

 ### Fixed
 
-- fixed Trivy DS-0026 by adding `HEALTHCHECK` to `app.Dockerfile` and removing the old Dockerfile at `.ci/40-delivery/`
-- fixed missing exclude table command for the id_seq of the table ignored
-- fixed dropping the id_seq table for the ignored table
