Since they are testers and not auditors, what prevents Donut Labs from changing the actual battery sent for testing, selecting whatever works best for that specific test?

Right. Basically routing (i.e. connecting pads / terminals of various electronic components) is a relatively hard problem and usually gets done by hand.
Ergogen lacks the ability to spit out routed PCBs, but the Samoklava repositories shows how to use a KiCad CLI addon to do just that and generate final files ready for fabrication (though you should always inspect them).
Many reputable ebikes manufacturers certify their bikes for sale in Europe, through the CE mark and related EN certifications, so hopefully the FDNY will accept that as a comparable certification indicating quality.
