v0.6.9-beta

v0.6.9-beta - Zenodo Metadata Cleanup

This beta release focuses on simplifying and correcting repository metadata to improve Zenodo compatibility.

Highlights

• Simplified CITATION.cff for Zenodo-safe citation handling
• Removed unsupported or problematic metadata patterns from .zenodo.json
• Removed grant-related metadata that was causing validation issues
• Reduced metadata complexity to improve archival portability and DOI generation

Metadata Fixes

This release consolidates several metadata-related corrections introduced across recent commits, including:

• correction of contributor metadata
• correction of relation metadata
• simplification of citation metadata
• removal of grant metadata
• alignment of release metadata for v0.6.9-beta

Goal

The goal of this release is to provide a cleaner Zenodo ingestion target after repeated failures in earlier beta releases caused by strict metadata validation.

Context

Earlier beta releases exposed Zenodo validation constraints involving:

• unsupported contributor types
• unsupported relation values
• unsupported or risky metadata fields
• overly complex citation metadata

This release is intended to minimize that risk and provide a stable metadata checkpoint.

Notes

• This is a beta release
• The focus is metadata compatibility and archival infrastructure
• No intentional breaking changes were introduced to the core pipeline functionality
