Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly summary: Focused on improving test reliability and speed for fecgov/fecfile-web-api by implementing an end-to-end testing guard against external API calls. The team introduced an E2E_TEST environment variable to conditionally disable external FEC API lookups during end-to-end tests, reducing external dependencies and flakiness. This change enables faster feedback in CI and safer refactors by isolating tests from external systems.
