August 2025: Delivered centralized forms architecture and the Whole Form JSON initiative across two funding-service repositories, enabling consistent form configurations, secure data handling, and streamlined exports. Implemented a new form_definition table and a Forms API with CRUD, publish/draft/hashed states, and input sanitization to improve security and auditability. Made Form.form_json storage non-nullable, added initialization scripts for existing forms, and migrated all exports/endpoints to consume whole form JSON, while removing legacy endpoints and modules. Fixed multilingual assessment data handling in pre-award, improved E2E QA reliability and template clone behavior, and performed substantial codebase cleanup and test infra simplification to improve maintainability and CI stability.

April 2025 focused on readiness for Towns Fund Round 7, local development improvements, and stronger security and testing across repositories. Key work delivered on enabling TF Round 7 data ingestion in the post-award data store (mapping, validation schema, env flag, tests, and updated deadline), introduced LocalStack-based S3 mocking for local report submissions, and simplified local development authentication. Additional domain-based access controls were implemented via secret-driven ALLOWED_DOMAINS with corresponding E2E test config updates and FAB documentation refresh; E2E reliability improvements included stabilizing app selection using round_id and grant_id metadata, plus production manifest host redirects for Form Runner. Overall, these efforts accelerate TF Round 7 rollout, reduce local development friction, strengthen security, and boost test confidence.
