Lois Wells contributed to the RaspberryPiFoundation/editor-api repository by developing and iterating on backend features focused on architectural flexibility and security. She explored multi-teacher support for class assignments, implementing a join table and updating related API endpoints and database models using Ruby on Rails, SQL, and Jbuilder. After evaluating the impact, she reverted these changes to maintain stability, documenting the architectural decisions for future planning. Lois also prototyped a Context API endpoint to expose project information, then rolled back the feature to refine access control and security boundaries. Her disciplined approach emphasized safe experimentation, rollback workflows, and robust backend design.

March 2025 monthly summary for RaspberryPiFoundation/editor-api: Delivered an initial Context API Endpoint prototype (route, controller action, JSON view) to expose contextual project information; implemented with commit 268b7faf830a6aa96204f909427851a412dc4a4e. Subsequently reverted the context route and adjusted access control (route/controller/view removed; ability updated to exclude the 'context' action) with commit ef08fba0def2fe43bf0b8c29bfd4aecf0b3e5479. The exercise clarified security boundaries and rollback workflow, informing future contextual feature design and governance.

Monthly work summary for 2024-11: Focused on architectural experimentation in the RaspberryPiFoundation/editor-api repository to evaluate multi-teacher support for class-teacher relationships. Executed a two-commit cycle: first adding a multi-teacher model (class_teachers join table, rename class_members to class_students, and API/controller/view updates) and then reverting the change to restore a single-teacher-per-class structure. This work prioritized stability while validating design options and informed future roadmap decisions. No customer-facing deployments this month; the outcome strengthens the codebase with explicit architectural decisions and prepares groundwork for future features.
