Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • 23andMe-layout files exported by OwnGenome retain mitochondrial positions when converted back, including files with a UTF-8 byte order mark. Files without the OwnGenome marker continue to use standard coordinate conversion.
  • Tests
    • Added end-to-end checks for mitochondrial positions and alleles across export/import round-trips, including files with and without the OwnGenome marker.

A new e2e case runs step 40 on the fixture, reads the 23andMe file back
through chip-to-vcf.sh and checks every called chrM site lands on its
rCRS position with case 21's call. On main it fails: chip-to-vcf.sh moves
the MT positions as if they were on hg19's chrM.

Walkthrough

Adds an end-to-end test that checks mitochondrial positions and alleles after reading a step 40 23andMe export through chip-to-vcf.sh. It also checks a control file with the OwnGenome header removed.

Changes: Mitochondrial round-trip test

Layer / File(s) Summary
Prepare the export and reference
tests/e2e/chip-mt-1-roundtrip.sh
The script runs step 40 on a copy of case 21’s gVCF and checks the export header and mitochondrial site count. It builds a GRCh37 FASTA from the site table and downloads the chain file with retries and a pinned SHA-256 check.
Check read-back positions and alleles
tests/e2e/chip-mt-1-roundtrip.sh
The mt_roundtrip helper compares read-back calls with the site table and case 21 calls. The script checks the export and missing-header control, records counts, and removes temporary files.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to cc2b7

The round-trip checks could miss a failed BOM conversion or substantial record loss in the control. Strengthening those checks is worthwhile, but neither gap establishes that exported MT positions are currently wrong.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to cc2b7

The change is narrowly scoped to mitochondrial coordinates in imported files. The identifying header selects coordinate handling without granting additional access or privileges. Remaining uncertainty concerns compatibility and test-workspace recovery, rather than an identified security vulnerability.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated production effect is on mitochondrial records in the selected sample’s conversion output, which can subsequently feed downstream analyses. The inspected change does not demonstrate new access to another sample, tenant or service.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — An input author can add the marker and thereby suppress MT translation. However, that author already supplies the positions and genotypes themselves. Without an additional trusted-ingestion or provenance guarantee, this does not establish a newly introduced security bypass.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Sample validation and prerequisite-file checks remain before input processing. The marker is read as file content and passed to awk as a numeric flag; the changed code does not evaluate header content as shell commands.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The intended test runner places GENOME_DIR beneath its E2E workspace. The new test resets distinct sample directories and cleans up shared test references on normal completion, but has no interruption cleanup handler or ownership check for pre-existing reference directories. The existing consumer-export test uses the same shared-reference cleanup pattern, so this is not evidence of a newly exposed production boundary.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: chip-to-vcf.sh now reads back a file exported by OwnGenome without shifting its chrM (mitochondrial) positions. The changeset matches this. The script detects the step-40 first-line marker and keeps MT positions as rCRS. A BOM is removed before reads, and an e2e round-trip test and docs were added. The title is specific and concise.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2.

chip-to-vcf.sh moves a 23andMe file's MT positions from hg19's chrM to
the rCRS. Step 40's file already has rCRS positions, so reading it back
put each chrM site one or two bases off. The script now knows that file
by its first line and keeps its MT positions; a vendor file has no such
line and moves as before.

Epic: pgp-pfw6
…der mark

A step 40 file saved again by an editor that writes a UTF-8 byte order
mark lost its first-line marker, so chip-to-vcf.sh moved its chrM sites
off their rCRS positions and kept the marked comment line as data. Drop
the mark before both reads. The e2e case reads such a file back, and its
control now also asserts the conversion exits 0 and reads chrM back.

Check the BOM conversion exit status.

If chip-to-vcf.sh fails after writing the VCF, the BOM checks can still pass. mt_roundtrip records the exit status, but this case does not check it.

Proposed check

+check_eq "chip-to-vcf.sh exits 0 on the BOM file" "$(cat "${CASE_TMP}/HG002CMB.status")" 0
 check "chip-to-vcf.sh keeps the MT positions of step 40's file with a byte order mark" \

Require substantial MT read-back in the control.

The control passes its read-back check when only one of hundreds of called MT sites survives. Its later “fewer than half” check also passes when most sites disappear rather than move. Set a minimum read-back fraction so the control detects large-scale record loss. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
