July 2025 recap for magento/ece-tools: Implemented OpenSearch integration tests and EOL validation to strengthen configuration validation, Magento integration, and system behavior across search backends. Added fallback to MySQL when OpenSearch is unavailable, updated tests for newer Magento versions, removed container skip annotations, and introduced an OpenSearch EOL mock for version 2. Fixed test indentation to ensure stability. This work reduces deployment risk, improves test reliability, and provides clearer coverage of OpenSearch lifecycle.
