System Architecture
PHP + FET with pure-PHP clash unit tests and GitHub Actions CI.
01
Application
PHP 8 admin UI with multi-school isolation and PDO access.
02
Solver
Whole-school FET XML generation and safe proc_open execution of fet-cl.
03
Clash rules
ClashDetector for pre-flight, post-gen, and manual edit validation.
04
Export
PDF / print export via Dompdf.
Core Engineering Challenge
Proving teacher/room/class conflict rules without production school data; live quality still depends on configuration.
Result & Operational Impact
Live demo plus automated clash and FET diagnostic tests.
