This work directly contributes to One Community’s mission of developing adaptable eco-models for social evolution. Layne focused on reviewing the code base to understand the existing redux flow and the file she is working with, including a comment indicating that form data should be validated and submitted to the API, which she believes may have been left in by mistake. She determined that she spent more time than planned trying to interpret the backend and redux logic, so she created a basic SKU generator that triggers on the submit button and currently logs output to the console. She was not able to allocate the amount of time she intended, so she will complete additional hours on Saturday after submitting her summary. She plans to connect with Jae regarding how the numeric portion of the SKU should be structured, as it is currently generated with a random number. She aims to add functionality that allows the SKU to be generated, reviewed or edited by the user, approved, and incorporated into the form data. This will require separating the SKU input from the formData state, capturing it when the generate button is used, and passing it into formData during submission. She plans to address this work on Saturday and continue it next week, and she is also preparing information needed for her bio on the website. This work directly contributes to One Community’s goal of developing adaptable eco-models for social evolution.

Meenshi added validations to the Jobs POST API to ensure that category, position, description, requirements, projects, and community fields meet required rules and minimum word counts aligned with the front end, and also confirmed that the applyLink fields are present in job forms. Meenshi noted that the related front-end collaboration work did not introduce structural changes, and the front end still lacks separate category files for title or position, resulting in the job details link not being referenced and job selections not routing to the job description page as they did before. Meenshi implemented user-permission checks in the Jobs API for both admin and volunteer roles, updated the front-end pull request to match recent development changes, and addressed navigation issues on the collaboration page without relying on the job details link. Lint issues in the API code were corrected, and validations were added where needed. Meenshi investigated and fixed UI problems in the job ads creation workflow, coordinated with Jae regarding the Dropbox service account setup, and confirmed that files upload to the correct team folder. Both pull requests were marked as high priority and ready for review, and Meenshi noted an unresolved issue involving PR changes not appearing on a particular page, which may require further investigation during their absence. This work directly contributes to One Community’s mission of developing adaptable eco-models for social evolution. Rahul worked on resolving merge conflicts in PR 4212, exploring multiple approaches but continuing to encounter errors, and focused on fixing similar conflicts in the src/components/Badge file while experimenting with different solutions that still produced issues.
