Jan 1, 2026January 2026 monthly summary: Delivered end-to-end bilateral results lifecycle enhancements, expanded program-level data access, and strengthened data quality and testing across the Results suite. Key additions include new Bilateral API result statuses, program-centric endpoints for pending reviews and results by program (with optional center filtering), and a persisted review-history workflow for bilateral results. Substantial SQL/query improvements added a new level field, center-level aggregation for pending reviews, and broader data access coverage. IpsrPathwayStepFourService was cleaned up with debug-logging removal, ensured is_active flags, and scaling-studies URL retrieval. Across Results modules, the focus was on robustness, maintainability, and performance to accelerate trusted decision-making and improve operational insights.
