Commit: 7efe16963099689830251e78a38a6c48da985e4e. Major bugs fixed (where applicable): - Fixed data integrity and API stability gaps by ensuring historical outcomes are preserved in retrieval, removing unintended filtering of outcomes in old getServiceCategory methods, and stabilizing DraftReferralDTO mappings for contract references. - Addressed API DTO exposure issues by refining responses to exclude filterRules from certain DTOs and aligning endpoint behavior with the expected DTO shape. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved data integrity and historical traceability for outcomes, enabling more accurate reporting and governance of interventions. - Enhanced API stability and developer experience through consistent DTOs and clearer service category responses. - Strengthened business value by enabling contract-backed workflows, better draft-to-contract traceability, and expanded outcomes tracking for family services. - Accelerated local development and testing for authentication features via a dedicated UI development environment and local service principal authentication. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - API design and evolution, DTO mapping and consistency, and database schema changes. - Feature-driven development with contract-based filtering and robust data integrity for historical records. - Docker Compose-based local development environment setup, including PostgreSQL for auth and service principal authentication workflows. - Test coverage updates and unit test alignment with historical data preservation.
