Description

When RS sends a grade update via LTI, the submission is dated at the time of sending. This works fine for student generated events. But it does mean that when an instructor pushes grades after a deadline, those updates can show up as "late" in the LMS gradebook.

Perhaps grader panel generated updates could look up the last student work for the assignment and use that date.

Research direction

Trace the LTI grade-update path and the grader panel entry point mentioned in the issue, starting with how submission dates are assigned. Compare student-generated and instructor-generated updates, then verify that instructor pushes after a deadline no longer appear late while student events retain their existing dates.
