[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)
  • [MLAR] Add 2024 MLAR test coverage #2421
• Determine what types of comms will be included with the release of the MLAR data (announcement banner, changelog update, press release)
  • I think all three will be used as I understand from @chynnakeys's update
• Once we know what comms are approved, create a PR for these comms changes (based on how I understand things currently are working with the previous caching workaround, these changes won't need to be deployed in order to be visible)
  • [MLAR] Announcement and changelog #2458
  • [MLAR] Add 2024 mlar release to changelog #2459
• Show BAs comms changes on local, and ask for approval
• 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
  • @ojbravo agreed that we didn't need to go into maintenance mode for this change
• Add 2024 to mlarReleaseYear and dataPublicationYears.mlar to prod-config.json into a PR
  • [MLAR] Add 2024 MLAR to prod config #2454
• Create a github release
  • https://github.com/cfpb/hmda-frontend/releases/tag/v3.2.5
• Wait till we get the go ahead to release MLAR
• Deploy updated 2024 MLAR e2e tests to prod
• Merge MLAR config PR and comms PR (based on how I understand things currently are working with the previous caching workaround, these changes won't need to be deployed in order to be visible)
  • [MLAR] Add 2024 MLAR to prod config #2454
• 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
