This included the UI wizard for the Flex Stacker module and associated labware/lids support in the server. - AI system improvements and protocol generation control: preserved user intent in AI-generated protocol updates, improved runtime parameter handling, and upgraded the AI model to Claude Sonnet 4.5 for more accurate and stable protocol generation. - UI asset loading bug fix: resolved broken labware image loading and production path resolution by switching dynamic URLs to direct ES6 imports and correcting logo styling unit, reducing production defects and visual inconsistencies. Major bugs fixed: - UI asset loading bug fix addressing labware image loading and production path resolution (ES6 imports), eliminating production-time image path failures. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Accelerated delivery of new hardware support to customers, enabling faster protocol adoption for Flex Stacker and 96-channel pipettes. - Improved AI-assisted protocol reliability and user alignment, leading to more predictable protocol updates and fewer manual interventions. - Stabilized the UI/production pipeline with robust asset loading, reducing release defects and UI-related incidents. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - AI model upgrade and prompts engineering (Claude Sonnet 4.5), runtime parameter handling, and intent preservation in AI-generated protocols. - Labware expansion and hardware integration (labware definitions, lids, and hardware mappings). - UI/UX enablement (UI wizard, protocol creation flows) and frontend asset management (ES6 imports). - End-to-end workflow improvements from AI server to client protocol generation and labware rendering.
