Contributions summary:Sarthak's contributions primarily focused on enhancing the module selection screen, adding functionality such as a checkbox for displaying local modules. They implemented a filter to search and display modules based on text input. They also addressed import statement issues and saved the checkbox state using configuration files. Further work involved integrating an advanced filter with multiple checkboxes for module type filtering (library, asset, etc.) and ensuring the selection process works correctly.
