July 2025: Delivered a modernized UI and robust data integration for hubmapconsortium/hra-ui, enhancing data discovery, traceability, and maintainability. Core enhancements include a data-driven, chip-based filtering experience for digital objects (with release version, organs, and ASCTB terms), a metadata page with sample content and an organ icon, and layout improvements with a move to a component-driven structure. Also updated the HRA API NG client and added media viewing capabilities (image/3D) along with provenance and documentation to support transparency and onboarding. Implemented a series of reliability and quality fixes across the UI and API layers.
