Notable bug fix: corrected long text wrapping in KTable cells with a wrapper div and CSS adjustments. Technologies demonstrated include Vue.js, CSS, documentation modernization, and backend coordination. Business value includes improved user autonomy, reduced data errors, and streamlined docs for developers.

March 2025 (2025-03) summary for learningequality/kolibri: Key feature delivered: Robust Data Validation Utility (validateObject) for Vue components, centralizing data validation to replace ad-hoc checks. Major bugs fixed: none reported this month.
