May 1, 2026

In May 2026, I delivered two key features for instructure-ui and resolved a UI alignment bug, driving test reliability, controlled distribution, and improved UX. Highlights include a self-hosted visual regression testing system with full-page screenshots, per-PR HTML reports, and static hosting (no SSR) to ensure deterministic captures; removal of Chromatic, automated baseline seeding via the new visual-baselines workflow, and published HTML reports per PR to GitHub Pages; a new publish-private command enabling controlled distribution of non-private packages to a private npm registry with environment guards, isolated npmrc handling, and a security-dist-tag workflow; and a UI bug fix that ensures correct text centering for non-icon buttons by deriving justifyContent from textAlign. These efforts reduced external tooling dependency, accelerated feedback loops, improved release safety for internal consumers, and demonstrated strong automation, frontend testing, and packaging capabilities.
