Contributions summary:Amanda's contributions primarily involved enhancing the metrics gathering functionality within the Streamlit application. They implemented improvements to the user ID system, including the addition of a new, non-sudo-based method for identifying users and adding corresponding tests. They also modified several files to enable SVG rendering and display warnings when the application is not run via the command line. This indicates a focus on both frontend and backend aspects of the application.
