Description

Write the standalone-smart-picker module. It was added to the manifest on 2026-06-11 — moved out of the Advanced "extensions" section in both tracks and promoted to standalone, because it is substantial enough to teach on its own rather than being a bonus.

Source material

Tutorial 5 in course/files/tutorials/ (Anna's working copy) covers it fully: unified search, reference providers, link rendering, and admin settings. It is the most complete source for any unwritten module.

Needs the usual modernisation before reuse: docker-composedocker compose, and old occ syntax → ./scripts/occ.sh.

Blocked on

#15 — standalone modules have no routing in course-v2 yet.

Part of #16.

Research direction

Read Tutorial 5 in course/files/tutorials/ and compare its structure with the standalone module manifest entry. Reuse its coverage of unified search, reference providers, link rendering, and admin settings while updating docker-compose and occ commands as specified. Confirm the module can be routed in course-v2 once #15 is resolved.
