On Friday, some hiring stuff and then spent learning time making this SDK/API testing CI job to detect divergence between the two: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-sdk/pull/59. The SDK tests are running against the server container, but need to get updated for the non-idempotent API endpoints.
The other thing I worked on was this xenial PGP issue https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/issues/4013, I tested out the suggestions on the python-gnupg side but alas, no dice. today i'm going to continue this investigation in the PM after AM meeting block
Today:
The next steps for me on the xenial pgp ticket is to get a report back into our ticket and then a small reproducible test case for python-gnupg and then... fork the project and figure out how to fix it so that we can make a PR. good times
