docs(phase6e): document the ROOT Foundations Completion milestone

Browse Source 
Adds PHASE6E_ROOT_FOUNDATIONS_COMPLETION.md (the phase's own record: what was authored, the
dash-vs-bash scenario bug found and fixed, the pre-existing lock-enforcement gap found and
fixed, the regression fallout that fix revealed in earlier suites and why each was a stale test
assumption rather than a platform bug, and honest test/rehearsal/regression results).

Updates ROOT_FOUNDATIONS_PILOT_READINESS.md (full re-audit: all 4 ROOT Foundations courses now
READY, not inherited blindly from Phase 6D), ROOT_PROGRAM_DURATION_MODEL.md (real ROOT 02-04
duration data: 24.7 combined hours, landing inside Phase 6D's own estimated range; 67.9 hours
across the full authored program), ROOT_PILOT_CURRICULUM.md (ROOT 02-04 move from NOT IN PILOT
to IN PILOT with full module-level detail; the pilot is now genuinely self-paced-capable for the
entire foundational half, not just instructor-led), ROOT_PROGRAM_ARCHITECTURE.md and
ROOT_CURRICULUM_COVERAGE_MATRIX.md (course/module/scenario totals), and
ROOT_FOUNDATIONS_ARCHITECTURE.md (marked as-built, not just as-designed).

| # | Course | Status | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Computing & Linux Foundations | **READY** | Phase 6D: 6 modules, real Linux/shell scenarios using the existing generic scenario engine, a wired assessment — see `docs/PHASE6D_ROOT_FOUNDATIONS.md`. |
| 2 | Linux Administration & Networking | **PLANNED** | Architecture designed (`docs/ROOT_FOUNDATIONS_ARCHITECTURE.md`); content not yet authored. Real prerequisite: ROOT 01 complete. |
| 3 | Git & Collaborative Development | **PLANNED** | Architecture designed; content not yet authored. Real prerequisite: ROOT 02 complete. |
| 4 | Containers & Docker | **PLANNED** | Architecture designed; the nested-Docker-Engine platform extension it needs was built and verified this phase (`docs/ROOT_FOUNDATIONS_LAB_STRATEGY.md` §3), course content not yet authored. Real prerequisite: ROOT 03 complete. |
| 2 | Linux Administration & Networking | **READY** | Phase 6E: 6 modules, real Linux/networking scenarios, a wired assessment — see `docs/PHASE6E_ROOT_FOUNDATIONS_COMPLETION.md`. Real prerequisite: ROOT 01 complete. |
| 3 | Git & Collaborative Development | **READY** | Phase 6E: 6 modules, real local-Git scenarios (including a real merge conflict and a real local-bare-remote push), a wired assessment. Real prerequisite: ROOT 02 complete. |
| 4 | Containers & Docker | **READY** | Phase 6E: 8 modules using the nested Docker Engine (built and verified Phase 6D, `docs/ROOT_FOUNDATIONS_LAB_STRATEGY.md` §3), real container scenarios, a wired assessment. Real prerequisite: ROOT 03 complete. |
| 5 | Kubernetes Foundations | **PARTIAL** | Phase 6B added a READY front-door module (`root-05-m00-kubernetes-mental-model` — full lesson/demo/knowledge-check/guided-exercise/lab/reflection) sequenced before the existing 20-scenario bare-lab bank (`root-05-m01`), which now sits behind it. |
| 6 | Kubernetes Application Workloads | **PARTIAL** | Phase 6B added a READY `root-06-m02-deployments-scaling-updates` and a PARTIAL `root-06-m03-jobs-cronjobs-daemonsets`, both in front of the existing bare-lab bank. |
| 7 | Kubernetes Networking & Configuration | **PARTIAL** | Phase 6B added a READY `root-07-m03-services-and-service-discovery` and a PARTIAL `root-07-m04-ingress-networkpolicy-foundations`. The existing configuration bank (`root-07-m02`) still has no authored teaching content — an honest, documented gap. |

**Updated for Phase 6D:** 01→02→03→04→05 is now a real, server-side prerequisite chain
(`courses.prerequisites`). Since ROOT 01 is now real content and 02-04 remain PLANNED, ROOT 02
is the first course this chain actually locks (behind ROOT 01); 03/04/05 stay vacuously
satisfied until their own prerequisite course is authored — see
`docs/COURSE_CONTENT_MODEL.md`'s "prerequisite/locking rule" for why a PLANNED/content-free
prerequisite never actually blocks anything, and `docs/PHASE6D_ROOT_FOUNDATIONS.md` for the live
verification of this behavior on both a completed and a fresh student.
**Updated for Phase 6D:** 01→02→03→04→05 became a real, server-side prerequisite chain
(`courses.prerequisites`). At that point ROOT 01 was real content and 02-04 remained PLANNED, so
ROOT 02 was the only course the chain actually locked; 03/04/05 stayed vacuously satisfied
until their own prerequisite course was authored — see `docs/COURSE_CONTENT_MODEL.md`'s
"prerequisite/locking rule" for why a PLANNED/content-free prerequisite never actually blocks
anything.
**Updated for Phase 6E** (`docs/PHASE6E_ROOT_FOUNDATIONS_COMPLETION.md`): ROOT 02, 03, and 04 are
now real, authored, READY courses — the ENTIRE 01→02→03→04→05 chain now genuinely gates for a
real student, verified live on both a fully-completed student and a fresh one. A pre-existing
gap in the direct-API completion route (found while proving this chain, unrelated to any single
phase's own content) is also fixed this phase — see that document for detail.
