How I'm changing my 1500-person Berkeley CS class after working at a startup (perfectrec.com)

I'm curious to hear feedback, especially:

1. Given the limited amount of scarce student time I want to spend on this, do pull requests / GitHub actions tests (provided for them) / code reviews seem like the right team processes to introduce?

2. Each student's work is independent of every other student. Is there some way to have them working on different pieces of the same problem, or having the students solutions interact in some deeper way than random selection in a lottery? A user named taftster imagined taking inspiration from Factorio in some way, with students each contributing some piece of a system. I've so far lacked the creativity to imagine what the API for this might look like for this assessment.

3. Is there a way we could have students make pull requests for the contest code itself? I'm thinking a bit about Fluxx here.
