Jan 1, 2025January 2025: Maintained and stabilized the AFM-SPM/TopoStats test suite by upgrading the Topostats test data from 0.1 to 0.2, updating test configurations and fixtures, and validating end-to-end paths (image processing and data loading). This fix addressed compatibility gaps, reduced flaky tests, and improved CI feedback for downstream analytics; laid groundwork for reliable data-versioned testing and smoother onboarding.
