Build the module package from the repository root:
python3 tools/build-package.pyThe ZIP has the module manifest at its root and excludes tests and development tools. Unchanged module sources produce an identical archive. Published release packages must remain unchanged so their SHA-256 values stay valid.
See tests/README.md for isolated-site test instructions. Validation covered 34 integration assertions per tested Joomla version, all seven layouts, carousel navigation, CSS delivery, JSON-LD output and the Atum module edit form. This is not a claim that every configuration or third-party template has been tested.
Image-only filtering decodes JSON through PHP and iterates the Joomla database result until enough usable images are found. It may inspect more candidate rows than the requested display count.
