March 2025: Delivered an API enhancement for genestack/openapi by introducing an includeContents query parameter to retrieve file structure and contents for specified file types (.h5, .h5ad, .zip, .gz) via OpenAPI-documented endpoints. This enables clients to fetch structure and content in a single request, reducing round-trips and accelerating data discovery. The change aligns with ODM-12213 and is implemented in commit 9dc35ffa1a35676361b4af28b6a4e5dedba295c5.

November 2024 Highlights across genestack/openapi, genestack/sdk, and genestack/user-docs: - Delivered OpenAPI schema enhancements and data model cleanup to improve API clarity and downstream integration; improved data provenance with a new referenceGenome field and a dedicated Flow Cytometry data class; removed an unnecessary param from a core import operation to reduce edge-case complexity. - Enhanced data ingestion workflows with file attachments: import_ODM_data script now supports uploading files and associating them with studies, boosting data traceability and management capabilities. - Strengthened documentation and release hygiene: updated import script docs to cover file URLs and metadata, and reverted a markdownlint change with release notes cleanup to maintain documentation quality. - Cross-repo impact and business value: faster onboarding for new users, reduced manual steps in imports, and clearer API/data models enabled by coordinated commits across repositories.
