2026-01-29 - Run module reset sweep and refresh test fixtures

Timeline

(Context) Repeated test cycles were being polluted by stale module state
(Action) Ran a broad reset_module.bat pass across Modules 01-08 to normalize recovery behavior
(Action) Refreshed Module 04 sample notes (note1.md, note2.md, note3.md) for ingest/query demos
(Action) Captured additional context-menu backup snapshots in reset and fixture tracking notes
(Observation) Reset parity made it easier to trust failures as real defects, not leftover state
(Open Thread) Standardize reset output/report format across modules for faster audits

Naive-user simulation made reset reliability non-negotiable
Ops-side context-menu tooling was updated in parallel during the same work window

Updated reset scripts and reran reset flows across Modules 01-08.
Verified each module reset rebuilt a clean baseline state for the next drill pass.
Refreshed Module 04 fixture notes (note1.md, note2.md, note3.md) for ingest/query demos.
Captured additional context-menu backup snapshots for rollback confidence.
Logged reset and fixture outcomes in the module QA notes for comparison across runs.

Reset consistency is a prerequisite for meaningful debugging in beginner-facing curriculum
Backup density in add_to_context confirmed active context-menu iteration

Add module-level post-reset checks before learners proceed
Decide if reset scripts should emit one summary artifact for cross-module health

Boundary Reminder: Seeds. No maintenance. No roadmap.
