In September 2025, the agr_curation effort focused on stabilizing allele data access by reverting the batch allele query enhancement and restoring the simple parameter-based search path. The change removes the explicit batch query call and complex logic from the controller and service, ensuring consistent, maintainable data retrieval for allele summaries. The revert (commit c6b814e1a902a508c7e7df8c7a036c7d83558bc3) unlinks the system from a previously added batch query API, reducing risk of regressions and downstream breakages. Overall, this enhances API stability, improves developer onboarding, and supports reliable downstream analytics that depend on allele data. Technologies demonstrated include Java/Spring controller/service patterns, Git-based change management, and regression qualification.
