Code-gov Improvements: Agency Cards and Tests

Start with the failing GitHub Actions run and review the scripts directory to determine whether agency-index files are still fetched and created. Inspect the agency-indexes directory and the agencies tab implementation before adding unit tests and documentation. Done means backend tests pass, data processing is documented, and each agency card links to its agency-index.json and shows the correct project count, full name, and description.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Backend

The backend is powered by scripts triggered by GitHub Actions: https://github.com/DSACMS/code-gov/tree/main/scripts. Currently, these scripts are failing: https://github.com/DSACMS/code-gov/actions/runs/29187121813/job/86635160396. Please review the code and its functionality, and see whether it is still fetching and creating the agency-index files: https://github.com/DSACMS/code-gov/tree/main/agency-indexes. Write unit tests to ensure it is working.

Frontend

We would like to add the following information for each agency card in the agencies tab:

• code.json: placeholder should be a link to the agency's agency-index.json found in https://github.com/DSACMS/code-gov/tree/main/agency-indexes
• Ensure that projects: ## count is correct
• Include a full name and description of the agency in its agency card

SCOPING

• 2-3 days

SKILLS NEEDED

Full Stack, Documentation, Metadata, Testing

REQUIRED DELIVERABLES

1. Review backend. Create unit tests to ensure functionality. Write docs explaining data fetching and processing

2. Each agency card should have:

• Link to code.json link
• Project count
• Agency full name
• Description

NOTES/INSPO

Review with Remy on any other information to be added to code-gov!
