September 2025 (instructure/canvas-lms) focused on enabling secure AMS remote module integration via a new External AMS Authentication Context. Implemented end-to-end JWT-based authentication bridge, including token retrieval, refresh capabilities, and exposure of relevant user information to the AMS module to authenticate and access Canvas LMS user data. This lays groundwork for deeper AMS integrations and reduces manual auth overhead. Key items: - External AMS Authentication Context for Remote Module feature delivered - JWT token retrieval and refresh flows implemented - User data exposure to AMS remote module for secure, automated access - Prepared the system for ongoing AMS collaboration and modular enhancements
