During December 2025, Brian Zurko focused on backend development for the ZoeyVid/NPMplus repository, addressing a critical issue affecting admin dashboard accuracy. He resolved a bug where administrators with all_items visibility incorrectly saw zero proxy hosts, updating the dashboard logic to use permission-based visibility in JavaScript. This change ensured that proxy-host counts now accurately reflect each admin’s permission scope, reducing misreporting and subsequent support requests. Brian’s work involved careful debugging of frontend logic, precise modeling of permissions, and disciplined use of Git for change management. The fix improved data integrity and user experience without introducing new features during this period.
