Mar 1, 2025March 2025 — ustaxcourt/ef-cms (10586 focus). Key features delivered include foundational 10586 UI scaffolding and form framework with initial CSS helpers, form alignment improvements, and robust validation/submission logic. We launched 10586 OrderResponse page scaffolding to support a dedicated response workflow and progressed UI polish. We also advanced the PDF preview draft for response orders and began the judge signature workflow, paving the way for end-to-end processing. In addition, visibility controls were implemented to limit order response visibility to motions, reducing noise in the UI. Major bugs fixed this month include a validation bug in the 10586 form and fixes to UI messages, contributing to more reliable validation and clearer feedback for users. The combined changes deliver tangible business value by reducing data-entry errors, accelerating form processing, enabling structured response workflows, and improving overall user experience in the 10586 flow. Technologies/skills demonstrated include frontend UI scaffolding, CSS scaffolding, client-side validation and submission handling, modular page scaffolding, and lightweight PDF preview/judge-signature integration.
