October 2025 monthly summary for gem/oq-engine focused on delivering robust seismic hazard calculations and reliable export pipelines in alignment with ASCE 7/41 standards. Key improvements include hardening the ASCE 7 and ASCE 41 calculation logic and the export path, better handling of zero hazard scenarios, and refined site data association to produce more reliable hazard outputs. ASCE41-23 output accuracy and parameter exports were enhanced with corrected data sources for seismic parameters, updated indexing, and improved rounding to ensure exports reflect true values. Major bugs fixed include zero hazard calculations for ASCE 41-17 corrected by removing erroneous percentile keys, preventing duplicate processing of site class identifiers, and internal debugging cleanup to streamline the calculation code. Test suite stabilization addressed data type inconsistencies and parsing differences to ensure CI reliability. Overall impact: Increased reliability and accuracy of seismic hazard calculations and export results, reducing downstream errors and improving decision-making for engineering assessments. Strengthened code quality, maintainability, and test coverage across the ASCE calculation and export workflows. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Python-based calculation and export pipelines, data handling and correction for seismic parameters, indexing and rounding for precise exports, type-safe test data handling, debugging and code cleanup, and robust test suite maintenance.
