The advertised version under https://moodle.org/plugins/block_sharing_cart/versions is for 4.1 LTS. There is a note **Sharing Cart 4.3 released on github for testing** https://github.com/donhinkelman/moodle-block_sharing_cart/. I don't know where 4.2 is.

Taken broadly, say valid for the whole world, there are no universal answers. What you are looking for is perhaps, what applies your case. But then nobody here knows your case better than you!
Here is what a participant from a university in South Easy Asia wrote in a workshop on on-line testing with Moodle. I am unable to elaborate, I'm just quoting:
We are conducting both quizzes and paper based online exams for our undergraduates as their end semester examinations.
Online Quizzes
Each
batch of our faculty has about 700 students. Our students do the quizzes
inside our computer labs (divide into small groups) as well as doing at
homes (all at once). One of the major problems is exchanging answers
between them during the examination.
To avoid that situation we do the followings
1. Create large question banks.
2. Create questions under different categories (to cover all sections).
3. Select questions randomly from each category to cover all sections.
4. One page consists of one question only.
5. Question navigation method is set to "Sequential". (Block backward navigation of questions).
6. Remove all "Review Options" (Doesn't display Whether correct, Marks, Right Answer,...)
7. To avoid the external access, protect the quiz by inserting a password (when conducting quizzes at our computer labs).
8. Restricted the number of concurrent browser logins for each user to 1 in the LMS.
Online Paper based Exams
Students are divided into small groups (around 30) and assigned an invigilator for each group.
Each group has a separate zoom link and students are required to switch on their cameras during the exam time period.
The folder resource is used to upload the question paper and prevent access until a specified date and time.
Each group has a separate assignment drop box to upload the softcopy of student's answer script.
Hi
I don't understand your question.
> on a test server - Debian Linux - which cannot easily be upgraded for PHP 7.4 or above.
What Debian version is that. For the current ones, 10/11/12 there are all sorts of repositories and they can even support multiple PHP versions.
And Moodle 3.11 supports PHP 7.3, 7.4 and 8.0.
Apache Solr (9.4.0) is installed, the 3.11 moodle is being indexed and searches return useful results. This is great for test purposes.
You mean Solr runs on the same "test" Moodle 3.11?
> I know that I will need to implement a distinct solr 'core' for each moodle instance.
So the task is to have a dedicated Solr server - probably out of the current 3.11 server? Isn't migrating the test Moodle 3.11 somewhere else isn't the solution?

You are not the only person who doesn't want the Labels to appear in the course index. From what I hear https://moodle.org/plugins/theme_boost_union allows tweaking this menu in many ways.
A caution though if the content of these labels are videos. They will delay loading the course homepage!

Unless your distribution has support beyond. For example Debian, and probably Ubuntu too, maintain the PHP versions with which they were released until their EOL (of the distribution's release).
