March 2025 monthly summary for Open-Earth-Foundation/CityCatalyst: Delivered core notation-key management API with creation endpoint and access control, added a GET route for unfinished subsectors, and enforced data integrity with transactions to prevent race conditions. Expanded inventory visibility via notation-keys API to return InventoryValues (not subsectors) and group by sector; exposed InventoryProgressService.getSortedInventoryStructure via API. Extended API for connect-sources with a dedicated endpoint, input size limits, user-scoped filtering, and forceReplace support; fixed a non-existent field query for cityLocode. UI and testing quality improved with systematic UI fixes, i18n enhancements, and Jest-based test infrastructure. These changes enable safer concurrent operations, clearer inventory insights, and faster, lower-risk releases.
