Oct 1, 2025October 2025 performance summary for NCATSTranslator/translator-ingests: Focused on reliability, testability, and automation of the ingest pipeline. Delivered three primary outcomes: 1) Unit Test Framework Stabilization for Ingest Transforms—refactors standardizing path handling and strengthening unit test validation, improving reliability and error reporting of transform results. 2) HPOA Ingestion Path Fixes and Cleanup—corrected file path references and constants to ensure unit tests pass and ingestion behaves correctly. 3) MKG to RIG Automation and Documentation Integration—introduced a new mkg_to_rig.py script to populate Resource Ingest Guides from MKG JSON and updated/docs/build targets. These changes reduce ingestion risk, accelerate feedback loops, and improve maintainability.
