During July 2025, I delivered meaningful enhancements to the Interactive Graph and improved reliability across Perseus and UI components, while addressing critical rendering and correctness bugs. Key features include weight customization for locked graph elements, precise point placement on graph edges and origin, and a UI-focused refresh in the Radio tool where applicable. I also advanced release readiness and build hygiene with a dependency synchronization pass across Perseus and pnpm-lock.yaml to align with a planned update. Major changes and business value: - Interactive Graph: Implemented weight/thickness control for locked lines, vectors, ellipses, and functions, with updates to schema, parser, and editor UI, enabling more accurate data visualization and editorial control. - Interactive Graph: Allowed placing points precisely on graph edges and the origin (0,0) by refining SVG overflow handling and bounding logic, improving editing accuracy for edge cases. - Polygon labeling: Replaced the raytracing-based convex/concave detection with a robust cross-product method to correctly label concave vertices, reducing mislabeling and rendering inconsistencies. - Graph rendering stability: Fixed y-axis label overflow by adding padding and adjusting margins, ensuring labels remain legible across ranges and improving user experience. - Release readiness: Synchronized Perseus dependencies to 65.6.0 across Perseus and pnpm-lock.yaml to reduce drift and streamline upcoming releases.

June 2025 monthly summary for Khan/perseus highlighting two major feature areas and a reliability fix, with strong emphasis on business value, accessibility, and DX improvements. The Interactive Graph Editor Enhancements deliver accessible controls for locked figures, manual step control when graph ranges change, and a new weight option for locked polygons. The Radio Widget Enhancements and Testing Utilities introduce a dedicated Radio question builder for test data, refactor testdata to use the builder, and UI/editor polish (best practices link, overflow handling, and Wonder Blocks UI). In addition, a targeted bug fix prevents steps from auto-updating when the graph range changes, improving predictability of edits. Overall impact includes improved accessibility, editor efficiency, and faster design-system-aligned workflows that reduce QA cycles and support scale.
