BLUE STEEL SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

The Blue Steel Team’s summary, presenting their work on the Highest Good Network software, was managed by Sheetal Mangate (Software Engineer) and includes Humemah Khalid (Software Engineer/Backend Developer) and Linh Huynh (Software Engineer). The Highest Good Network software is our tool for managing and objectively measuring progress, ensuring that all contributions are effectively tracked, aligned with our mission, and support Sustainable Resource Development and Access.

This week, Linh worked on resolving merge conflicts after syncing the Linh\_Blogger\_autoposter\_frontend branch with the latest updates from the development branch, with most conflicts found in package-lock.json and index.jsx. Linh also addressed test failures related to missing or unresolved module imports, such as styles and react-quill, which were caused by incorrect import paths and missing dependencies. This work is in line with One Community’s values around sustainable resource development and access. Although react-quill was listed in the package.json, it was not properly installed due to issues in the dependency tree, which Linh resolved by removing the node\_modules folder and package-lock.json, cleaning the npm cache, and reinstalling all dependencies. Linh also corrected an invalid lint-staged configuration block in package.json that was causing npm install to fail with a “must provide string spec” error. This action supports One Community’s framework for sustainable resource development and access. Sheetal focused on integrating Reddit OAuth2 authentication, reaching the stage where both access and refresh tokens are obtained and stored in localStorage on the frontend for future authenticated actions such as submitting posts. During implementation, an issue was found where the backend received the access token, but the frontend returned a 404 error. This development helps realize One Community’s aim of sustainable resource development and access. Debugging showed that the backend endpoint was being triggered twice due to the current structure of the useEffect hook, resulting in multiple unintended requests to the Reddit API. Investigation is ongoing into why the useEffect hook executes more than once, and steps are being taken to ensure the backend is only called once per action. Sheetal is also debugging an Axios error that returns a 404 status code after receiving the token response. This task contributes to the broader effort for sustainable resource development and access at One Community. Humemah worked on resolving an issue where deactivated managers were still receiving notifications for Blue Square reasons being set, despite PR #1363 having previously addressed the main case. One edge case had been missed, and Humemah identified and fixed this scenario by updating the logic to prevent notifications from being sent to deactivated managers.
