Aug 1, 2025Monthly work summary for 2025-08 focusing on Horizon module navigation enhancements in instructure/canvas-ios. Implemented a refactor to ensure ModuleItemSequenceViewModel receives correct module item details when navigating from the Dashboard to a module item, improving accuracy of the next learning object and robust handling of unlocking of 'must-view' items. This work was accompanied by a data-passing fix to pass the Course object to ModuleSequenceViewModel when opening from the Dashboard (commit c13aabba6386154c7241bbc000db6ac81a370d39; #3573).
