Month: 2025-09 — Delivered critical capabilities across API and frontend to strengthen calculator run classification and testing workflows, with supporting tests and DTOs. API: added CalculationRunService to manage calculator runs by designated classification IDs and integrated into CalculatorController to fetch and display classified runs. Introduced new DTOs and mappers and added unit tests for the service and mapper. Frontend: enabled TEST_RUN as a valid calculator run classification; updated DesignatedRunController to reflect TEST_RUN eligibility and added unit tests for routing and confirmation of test runs. These changes improve run classification clarity, testability, and the speed/accuracy of data retrieval and display, delivering tangible business value in reliability and deployment confidence.

2025-03 Monthly Summary: Focused delivery of core backend capabilities and performance improvements in two DEFRA repos, with measurable business value through improved data binding precision and scalable external-service interactions.

February 2025 monthly summary focusing on key accomplishments, with emphasis on delivering robust PRN data handling, standardized material mapping, and enhanced logging and timing stability across two repositories. Highlights include delivering PRN data integrity and synchronization robustness in the common-backend, standardizing material name mapping with tests, fixing PRN/NPWD timing mismatch via a configurable lag, and implementing detailed event logging for NPWD PRN updates. Key areas: - DEFRA/epr-prn-common-backend: - PRN data integrity and synchronization robustness: fixed PRN date handling, prevented re-processing of synchronized PRNs, preserved final status to maintain data integrity during PRN lifecycle. Commits: c5d920a61e15af98f0cabbbf9759143eed509e35; 6417e0ddeee5dc8d2c5e97311958d0f6038dca64; 276f3fcfd9cbc26d88595cc2af4ae3e4cab91f5b - Material name mapping standardization for PRN data: added mapping to standardize material names to match Material table entries, with unit tests for accuracy and data consistency before obligation calculation. Commit: 0dfde57f127295403c2cbdad1b51f4b47bb62b66 - DEFRA/epr-prn-integration-function: - PRN/NPWD Timing Mismatch Fix: introduced configurable lag to the to-date in fetch date range; unit tests verifying logging when lag affects range; core FetchNpwdIssuedPrnsFunction now offsets toDate via a polling lag config. Commit: 7bac6b0baff922dbea07c841333cf2891b994977 - Npwd Prns Update Logging Enhancement: added custom event logging for updates to Npwd PRNs with tests to ensure detailed updated PRN information is captured for auditing/monitoring.
