Back then I had been speculating that they must have a solution for this in their code baseline which only needs to be configuerd for the project - otherwise it could never been done with the timeline envisioned. Seems they have to do some post documentation .
Still I am more worried by the changes to the task system or function distribution they likely had to do due to the AP disconnect issue. There you have the potential to break anything anywhere and require to do a 100% coverage of functional testing. It’s like rebuilding the supporting walls of a house without moving the furniture. It’s never going to happen without some losses.
