Mar 1, 2025March 2025 monthly delivery for kausal-paths focused on consolidation, robust data ingestion, and platform stability. Key outcomes include: - Consolidated the datasets functionality from the Django app into the shared kausal-backend-common module to improve reuse and reduce duplication, enabling faster cross-service integration. - Implemented a robust load_dvc_dataset management command to import DVC datasets into the database, including schema, metrics, dimensions, and data points; added safeguards with --force and a compatibility path to delete affected schema on force, ensuring data integrity and idempotent operations. - Introduced and refined datasets REST API permissions to enforce role-based access control, corrected policy naming, and ensured correct default scopes for datasets and DataSource objects. - Upgraded the kausal_common library to a newer commit and moved Python to 3.13 to support modern features (TypeVar) and alignCI/build configurations. - Performed targeted test maintenance to stabilize CI, including temporarily disabling a failing login test due to AdminMiddleware initialization issues. Impact: The changes reduce duplication, improve data ingestion reliability, strengthen access control, and enhance platform stability, enabling faster feature delivery with fewer regressions across services.
