Contributions summary:Qiao primarily focused on the `apostrophecms/apostrophe` repository's image widget functionality. Their contributions involved modifying the widget's code to conditionally render attributes for image width and height, making the setting of these attributes optional. Additionally, the user refactored the widget's options, changing the way the image widget handles setting dimensions from the module level and also the manager level. This work enhances the flexibility of the image widget, particularly regarding image dimensions and display behavior.
