Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try as soon as I can. Right now I feel like I am knee deep in a pool full of alligators. My house is at that age where things are starting to need repair/replacement and it seems every time I fix one item, another breaks. Three repairs scheduled and parts bought so I can do them later today.

I am currently using Copilot Pro+ and actually tend to avoid using versions of Claude because it "costs more" so I leave Copilot in 10% discount, Auto mode. I just pointed out the code precheck warnings and errors that Moodle reports when a new plugin is released to Copilot. I then told Copilot to run all the same tests. I did have to install a couple of items for it, but Copilot does all the "heavy lifting" now and my warning and error counts have gone way down. Since Claude Code is not currently listed as a Copilot option, I think I will see what I can try from your github with what it does have. Thanks for posting your work.

To bad M$ has done away with Skype or I would just have you use it to screen share and visit the files. I have not kept up with it but if you have another screen sharing program in mind, we can still try to do that. I don't want to post here as I do have Moodles in various locations and do not want to pass out attack clues. LOL Get enough hammering everyday already. I would try Big Blue Button but Copilot Pro+ is hard at work doing some MAJOR changes to Content Pages plugin for me on my development server and I don't want to interrupt it at the moment. It's been churning away for most of the past three hours. I'll get back to you later today.

Hi Rick,
A little lead up to answering your first question re: "check" router. For a number of years, I have tried to convince myself to use an IDE for plugin development and just couldn't until recently. Currently I am using Visual studio. I decided on it due to it's built in Copilot AI capabilities. I started with the free version and quickly blew threw what I was permitted to use for free, so got a subscription for $10.00 a month for Copilot Pro. In about a week I ran into it's 500 limit on premium requests. I sat around one day and did a little math. The next step up to Copilot Pro+ was $39. If you divide that by a typical 30 day month, it works out to only $1.30 per day. For me this has been the sweet spot. Based on the amount of time I work on code each day, I do not think I will run out of premium requests during a month.
So here is what I do: any time I get something like that "check" router, I copy and paste it into my chat window with Copilot Pro+ with the preface of, "On my moodlexxx site I am trying to set up Moodle 5.2 and on the Environment checks page under, Other checks I see this: and then I paste what needs checking. Since I SSH into my server via VS, Copilot Pro+ (in Auto mode for the 10% discount) goes and checks, I allow it to change things, and then bing, bang, bam it modified my vhost file for moodlexxx, restarts apache, and the "check" goes away.
Your other question about, "all running in a directory," yes I typically have folders named, moodle405, moodle500, moodle501, moodle502, etc. In my vhost files I have experimented and find that I can place a Moodle web site at any storage location I want to on a server. In fact, for testing purposes and "refresh my poor memory" purposes, I have a server that runs every Moodle from 1.9.19+ up to 5.2+ and what will become 5.3. It uses just one moodle-multisite.conf vhost file that specifies which location and PHP to use for each site.

I have multiple Moodles 4.3, 5.0, 5.1, 5.3 dev , and 3 each 5.2, all running in a directory of an existing domain.
Note regarding you no updates, there is a forum post I just read, that mentions, "confused some of the automated jobs on the server responsible for generating and publishing the packages."
