2026-01-22 - Harden kit docs and prepare pre-testing freeze

Timeline

  • (Context) Resumed Phase 2 execution with testing explicitly deferred until MJ fly-over sweep.
  • (Action) Filled placeholder support docs (setup, playbook, glossary, common errors, troubleshooting index).
  • (Action) Standardized Modules 06-08 iteration guides to the deep “course” format.
  • (Action) Standardized Modules 06-08 context.md files to match the Module 01 course template.
  • (Action) Ran voice audit across contexts; normalized Claim-Source references.
  • (Action) Ran learner-journey integration walkthrough; added missing navigation links.
  • (Action) Added testing infrastructure (log template + workspace log folder) for the eventual MJ sweep.
  • (Action) Authored an agent-executable plan to drive implementation to the MJ testing blocker.
  • (Observation) Most remaining progress beyond this point is gated on real cross-provider prompt behavior.
  • (Open Thread) Define MJ sweep pass/fail criteria per module before testing begins.

Context

  • I am the sole agentic implementor on this project so far, operating from initial scaffold through Phase 2 hardening.
  • Phase 1 delivered a full 8-module scaffold and core methodology; Phase 2 focus is quality, consistency, and learner flow.
  • Testing strategy is explicitly “implementation first” with a single MJ full sweep fly-over when testing becomes the blocker.

Actions

  • Filled all placeholder support docs and standardized Module 06-08 guides.
  • Wrote full versions of key support docs: setup guide, playbook, glossary, common-errors guide, and troubleshooting index.
  • Standardized Module 06-08 iteration guides and context docs to a shared course format.
  • Reworked module guidance into consistent sections (problem framing, Q&A, pitfalls, and success indicators).
  • Normalized Claim-Source references across module contexts to use the same documentation/evidence style.
  • Performed learner-flow integration walkthrough and updated module navigation links plus handoff notes.
  • Added testing scaffolding (log template and workspace test-log area) for the MJ sweep window.
  • Authored a pre-sweep execution plan so any agent can run the freeze process consistently.

Observations

  • The course is now structurally complete (no placeholder docs), with advanced modules matching the foundational “course material” voice.
  • A naive static “link checker” flags many backticked code examples as missing files; static QA should validate only path-shaped references.
  • The highest-risk unknowns are now provider-specific (JSON compliance, safety defaults, tool drift), which can only be resolved by the MJ sweep.

Open Threads

  • Write sweep protocol docs defining sweep order, pass criteria, and log naming.
  • Decide what constitutes a Phase 2 “pre-testing freeze” signoff (who marks it and where).
  • After MJ sweep: implement test-driven prompt revisions and re-run targeted verification.

Boundary Reminder: Seeds. No maintenance. No roadmap.
