Abstract
This archive is the SoftwareX reproducibility companion for ModelicaHumanBodyPArts v0.10.0. The DOI-backed v0.10.0 mechanical source is unchanged and remains SHA-256 2fda3b797ef9304529776d0610a3a8608e233c92531924579cb2eafe6665de4b. This is a publication companion, not a replacement mechanical model or a new mechanical software version. It adds a lossless standard Modelica package hierarchy, portable verification tooling, automated Linux/OpenModelica testing, documentation, four publication-facing guided-contact integration cases, a separate exploratory diagnostic, external numerical contract checks and retained reproduction evidence. Exact companion Git commit: e13e07ffc11ea8bba6e38fa764842f8685e853d3. GitHub Actions run 38468780711 completed successfully on this exact commit. Using Linux/OpenModelica 1.27.1 and Modelica Standard Library 4.1.0, both monolithic-source and package-tree storage layouts passed the original 45 runtime simulations and five build-only fixtures (50/50), all four publication-facing tutorial cases (4/4), seven external publication contracts (7/7), and four deliberately corrupted-data controls were correctly rejected (4/4). The retained audit reports 640/640 result-file hashes matched across the two layouts. The parallel-support negative control detects an incomplete plantar support path from the mismatch between audited plantar support and whole-body vertical demand. The hidden support force is retained only as a known construction cross-check. The pitch-enabled example is excluded from manuscript and publication-facing verification evidence. It is preserved separately as an exploratory diagnostic: its registered 0.75 s local assertions pass, but a long-horizon extension does not settle and terminates when the energy assertion is crossed after continued tipping. It does not support a stable regional-redistribution claim. These results establish software/mechanical verification only; they are not human, biological or clinical validation. No independent adoption, Dymola verification or macOS verification is claimed. Toufic Antoun El Halabi is the sole software creator and developer. The historical name Tofic Anton identifies the same person, ORCID 0009-0000-5409-0417. Nathalie Chahine, ORCID 0000-0002-6200-7617, contributed scientific/anatomical and physiological literature interpretation and manuscript writing/review, and is a co-author of the associated SoftwareX manuscript. The research received no external funding and was supported entirely by the personal resources of Toufic Antoun El Halabi.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

The results show that the embedded industry has been able to apply agile methods in its development processes and that the appreciation of the agile methods and their individual practices appears to increase once adopted and applied in practice.
