+## Recent Accomplishments (December 2024 - January 2025)
+
+### ✅ **Tree Class Modernization & Thread Safety**
+- **Eliminated deprecated field usage** - Removed `is_checked` dependency in `RemoveSubtree()` for thread safety
+- **Added comprehensive exception safety** - Custom exception types with documented guarantees
+- **Ported Graph features** - Added `HasEdge()`, `GetEdgeWeight()`, `GetEdgeCount()`, safe `GetVertex()`
+- **Tree validation methods** - `IsValidTree()`, `IsConnected()`, cycle detection
+- **Tree structure queries** - `GetTreeHeight()`, `GetLeafNodes()`, `GetChildren()`, `GetSubtreeSize()`
+- **Enhanced test coverage** - 10 new comprehensive tree-specific tests
+
+### ✅ **API Type Consistency & Standardization**  
+- **Resolved Copilot warnings** - Fixed return type inconsistencies in counting methods
+- **Deprecated legacy methods** - `GetTotalVertexNumber()`, `GetTotalEdgeNumber()` with clear migration path
+- **Standardized size_t usage** - All counting methods now return STL-compatible `size_t`
+- **Enhanced priority queues** - Added STL-compatible `size()` methods
+- **Fixed parameterized tests** - Resolved template-dependent type issues with proper `if constexpr`
+- **Comprehensive type review** - Verified consistency across all size/count operations
+
+### ✅ **Code Quality Improvements**
+- **Header guard standardization** - Consistent naming patterns across all headers
+- **Exception handling consistency** - Custom exception hierarchy usage throughout
+- **Const-correctness enhancements** - Added missing `noexcept` specifications
+- **Documentation updates** - Aligned exception documentation with actual implementation
