## 👨🏼‍🚀 Executive Summary

Key accomplishments include enhancing `graph-tooling` with Timestamp Scalar support and refining local development experiences. Looking forward, our focus is on continued collaboration with Edge and Node, streamlining subgraph publishing, refining the `indexer`, and advancing the new query planner for `graph-client`.
