[MLAR] Publish 2024 Modified LAR Data

[billhimmelsbach]

We're preparing to publish the 2024 modified LAR data next month. Here are the frontend tasks as I see them at the moment:

TODOs:

• Wait until we get direction to begin work on this
• Get me admin access to this repo so I can make PRs, label and assign issues, etc.
• Add 2024 to mlarReleaseYear and dataPublicationYears.mlar to dev-config.json and merge to github
  • [MLAR] 2024 MLAR & Combined MLAR Dev Config #2416
• Wait and confirm that 2024 mLAR data has been loaded on the backend
• Confirm that after the data is loaded that the institution specific mLAR data is searchable and combined mLAR data is downloadable on Dev
• Merge in e2e tests for 2024 mLAR data, like these (to later be deployed via CLI after changes hit prod)
  • [Cypress] Add 2024 Modified LAR and Combined MLAR test coverage #2417
• Determine what types of comms will be included with the release of the mLAR data (announcement banner, changelog update, press release)
• Once we know what comms are approved, create commits and merge in those changes
• Deploy comms changes to Dev via CLI, and ask BAs to approve
• Wait till we're absolutely ready to release, test while waiting
• I believe we won't need to enter maintenance mode for deployment, but confirm
• Add 2024 to mlarReleaseYear and dataPublicationYears.mlar to prod-config.json (and possibly the other configs as well for completeness) then merge to github
• Create a github release
• Wait till the late afternoon on off-peak hours (confirm with BAs)
• Deploy mLAR changes to Prod via CLI (based on how I understand things currently are working with the caching workaround, these changes won't be visible until a manual deploy is done) - use the same image that's on dev
• Deploy updated 2024 mLAR e2e tests to prod
• Test things out with the team, confirm e2e tests pass (wait till they run automatically or trigger manually)
• 🥳

Open questions:

• What types of comms will be included with the release of the 2024 mLAR data?
  Announcement banner (from last mLAR release):

Changelog update (from last mLAR release):

Press release (link to last mLAR press release):

• Do we need any maintenance downtime? (I assume not)

Notes:

In the config...

• dataPublicationYears.mlar- allows this page to display 2024 mLAR data by institution and combined mLAR data

• mlarReleaseYear - makes the link from the home page direct to 2024 mLAR data
