February 2026 (slatex/sTeX-React): Delivered major UI and data stability improvements for course content management with measurable business value and improved developer velocity. Key features delivered include a new Course coverage management UI with a timeline visualization for skipped sections, including a constant to denote not-covered sections and improved expand/collapse behavior. This enables instructors and content teams to visually track coverage and identify gaps quickly. Also added a timeline-related spec function to support coverage data retrieval (get-coverage-timeline), laying groundwork for reliable timeline analytics. Major bugs fixed and data integrity improvements include refactoring course data handling, lectures, and timelines to reduce errors in QuizDashboard and related components, along with build error fixes and corrections to currentsem.json. These changes improve data reliability and reduce runtime failures when rendering course dashboards. Enhanced search usability with a Table of Contents (TOC) structure for course notes, improving navigation across notes and slides and enabling targeted search across all course content. Additional maintenance work focused on code cleanup and maintainability: removal of unused imports and related tidy-ups; generation of a pnpm-lock.yaml to stabilize dependencies. Overall impact: Reduced manual overhead for course content management, improved data integrity and system reliability, and enhanced developer velocity through cleaner code and stable builds.
