YAML::XS 1.2 / OOP / YAML::PP compatibility
I continued working YAML::XS: YAML 1.2 Core Schema + the Object Oriented Interface.
I started this at SUSE Hackweek 2024.
At the PTS I changed the Proof of Concept matching of special values from a Perl Regex to C code.
I also fixed a segmentation fault that was happening when there was an exception in the loader and the DESTROY method was called before the exception handling, invalidating a pointer.
I updated the pull request and made a trial release. I can hopefully make a regular release in the next few days (but still marking the new interface as experimental).
There are also a couple of new options like utf8, header, footer, width, require_footer and anchor_prefix, that the old interface doesn't have.
YAML::Syck
Helped with a little YAML::Syck issue

- Made three Devel::Cover releases
- Fixed Devel::Cover to work with 5.42.0 (to be)
- Discovered and reported a perl problem during Devel::Cover testing (missing `^^=` operator)
- Got cpancover.com working on btrfs with compression to allow more coverage reports on the server. (Special shoutout to Ferenc Erki for suggesting the solution and working with me to implement it.)
- Merged in all outstanding Devel::Cover PRs
- Closed out a few tickets
- Several very productive discussions around coverage, testing, hosting and other topics

Worked on MetaCPAN's ingest repo.
This repo will replace the data ingestion to ES, replacing the current write-access part of the API (which will have read-only access to ES).
The work included (mainly):
- Various scripts fixes and updates
- Setup test creation (WIP)
- Discussions over tests in metacpan-ingest & CLI tooling
- Discussions with Stig & Breno over future changes to the `cve` script (and data set)
