Caitlin Salanga developed and expanded the Fireye04/cowpunk repository over two months, delivering 37 new features and resolving 10 bugs. She built core gameplay systems including map navigation, health mechanics, dialogue, and inventory, while also implementing authentication scaffolding and structured logging for backend reliability. Her approach combined JavaScript and Twine scripting with object-oriented design, emphasizing modularity and maintainability. Caitlin standardized API error handling, improved deployment scripts, and introduced automated test scaffolding to ensure robust validation. The work demonstrated depth through both content creation and system-level enhancements, resulting in a more reliable, testable, and content-rich interactive fiction and game development platform.

May 2025 highlights: Implemented foundational authentication scaffolding with pluggable providers and session management, including a login/token handling skeleton. Refined data access with enhanced repository interfaces, data mappers, and improved query structures. Standardized API error handling and response shaping for consistent error codes/messages across services. Introduced structured logging, defined log levels, and basic tracing hooks to improve observability. Hardened deployment scripts to prevent partial deployments and improve reliability. Expanded testing infrastructure with Batch 2 scaffolding and core testing utilities, plus automated test scaffolding to accelerate validation across modules. Added initial UX/UI enhancements such as money display and startup map integration, and began Shops module testing to validate e-commerce flows.
