Over four months, RW developed and stabilized the Moodle plugin in the kialo/moodle-mod_kialo repository, focusing on environment reliability, cross-version compatibility, and release engineering. RW enhanced developer onboarding by standardizing Docker container ports and improving documentation, while introducing automated database seeding with SQL and shell scripting. To address deployment robustness, RW implemented network reachability checks and dynamic hosts updates, reducing installation failures. The work included refactoring JavaScript for UI consistency across Moodle versions, automating build processes with Composer, and restoring unit test reliability using PHPUnit. RW finalized the project by promoting the plugin to a stable release, ensuring production readiness.
