September 2025 monthly summary: Focused on reliability and scalability improvements for denovo gene sets loading in iossifovlab/gpf, plus expanded test coverage for federation scenarios and zygosity handling. Key outcomes include refactoring the loading pathway to remove families from remote studies, fixes to remote denovo gene sets, and a comprehensive suite of tests validating federation behavior and denovo gene sets. The work also strengthened the query layer (zygosity, affected status, denovo gene sets) and improved maintainability through code and testbase improvements. Result: higher data quality, reduced risk of regressions, and clearer ownership of loading/query paths for remote studies. Technologies demonstrated include Python refactoring, test-driven development, federation concepts, zygosity logic, and CI/test stabilization.
