September 2025, epam/ketcher: Delivered UI/UX refinements and critical editor stability improvements. Key features delivered: UI consistency improvements in the Structure Library and ensuring Save to SDF button visibility on the Salts and Solvents tab; refined Right-click context menu visuals for consistency and safer delete actions. Major bugs fixed: Undo/redo selection restoration after cancelling monomer creation; preserved aliasHELM for unknown monomers to ensure accurate HELM exports; development-mode error 'Cannot update a component' addressed by migrating state initialization and menu updates to useEffect. Overall impact and accomplishments: Enhanced user workflow in the Structure Library, more reliable editor behavior and export accuracy, reduced edge-case errors, and improved dev stability. Technologies/skills demonstrated: React hooks (useEffect) for stable state management, UI/UX polish and layout tuning, state handling for editor operations, and robust HELM export support.
