Contributions summary:Mckenna primarily contributed to the Consul agent's backend code. They implemented checks for data directory validity and added a check for when both ui and ui-dir flags are specified, enhancing the software's robustness. Additionally, they wrote unit tests to validate functionality, particularly around the `kv_put` command, to test negative values. They also addressed a signaling issue by ignoring SIGPIPE signals.
