March 2025 monthly summary for ices-tools-dev/RDBEScore focusing on delivering data integrity improvements, improved diagnostics, and correct data typing. Key outcomes include fixes for empty entry validation in RDBESDataObjects with added tests, introduction of debugging/diagnostics for null inputs to createRDBESDataObject, and a data type fix ensuring SAcommCat is treated as a string. These changes reduce false zero-row reports, speed up debugging in production, and prevent downstream processing errors.
