September 2025: Key AI differentiation enhancements and opt-out fixes in code-dot-org/code-dot-org. Delivered a new AI Differentiation Chat Floating Action Button (FAB) on the Section Creation Page, conditionally rendered based on AI differentiation policies, and wired into the page initialization to assist users during section creation. Fixed a bug where AI differentiation chat did not respect user opt-out; ensured the diff chat is disabled when aiDifferentiationEnabled is false across the teacher homepage and navigation bar, with corresponding tests updated. This work improves user experience, policy compliance, and testing coverage.
