docs(phase6f): document ROOT_ V1 pilot readiness

New: PHASE6F_ROOT_V1_PILOT_READINESS.md (phase summary), ROOT_V1_CURRICULUM_MANIFEST.md
(canonical V1 scope), ROOT_V1_PREREQUISITE_MAP.md, ROOT_V1_ASSESSMENT_MAP.md,
ROOT_V1_SYLLABUS.md, ROOT_V1_INSTRUCTOR_GUIDE.md, ROOT_V1_STUDENT_REQUIREMENTS.md,
ROOT_V1_INSTRUCTOR_LED_PILOT.md, WINTER_BREAK_CAMP_CURRICULUM_OPTIONS.md.

Updated: ROOT_PROGRAM_ARCHITECTURE.md (course-sequence table reflects real V1 statuses),
ROOT_PILOT_CURRICULUM.md (self-paced-readiness correction), ROOT_PROGRAM_DURATION_MODEL.md
(real post-integration totals: 64.2 V1 hours / 68.3 program-wide), ROOT_CAPSTONE_READINESS.md
(§1b, the new root-09 course-layer gate), platform/README.md (test list).

 | 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. |
-| 8 | Kubernetes Storage & Scheduling | **PARTIAL** | Phase 6B wired the real scenario content the inventory identified (PV/PVC, StorageClass, taints/tolerations, PDB, quotas/limits) into two new PARTIAL modules — moved off PLANNED for the first time. |
-| 9 | Kubernetes Security | **PARTIAL** | Phase 6B built the 22-scenario CKS-style bank into four modules (Security Model & SecurityContext — READY; ServiceAccounts & RBAC, Network & Supply Chain Security, Cluster Hardening & Runtime — all PARTIAL), classifying scenarios CORE/GUIDED/INDEPENDENT/ADVANCED/ASSESSMENT-BANK rather than exposing them as 22 disconnected tasks — moved off PLANNED. |
-| 10 | Kubernetes Troubleshooting & Observability | **PARTIAL** | The Phase 6A gold-standard module (READY, unmodified) plus a new PARTIAL `root-10-m03-troubleshooting-framework` (the generalized Observe/Evidence/Hypothesis/Test/Repair/Validate/Prevent framework) and the existing bare-lab bank, now sequenced last. |
-| 11 | DevOps & Platform Engineering Foundations | **PLANNED** | No CI/CD/IaC/GitOps scenario content exists anywhere in this repository — unchanged, out of Phase 6B's authoring scope. |
-| 12 | RootNode Real Ops | **PARTIAL** | Phase 6B added an incident-response framing lesson and a post-incident reflection wrapping the existing 4-scenario module — the incidents themselves are unchanged, still deliberately un-guided. |
-| 13 | ROOT Capstone — Operate and Recover a Production-Like Environment | **PARTIAL** | Phase 6B added a READY Capstone Readiness module (orientation, no answers) sequenced before the existing capstone assessment module — see `docs/ROOT_CAPSTONE_READINESS.md`. |
+| 5 | Kubernetes Foundations | **READY** (Phase 6F) | Phase 6B added a READY front-door module (`root-05-m00-kubernetes-mental-model`) sequenced before the 20-scenario bare-lab bank (`root-05-m01`), which itself already carried a lesson+reflection wrapper — Phase 6F's audit found both modules genuinely ready and corrected the stale course-level status. |
+| 6 | Kubernetes Application Workloads | **READY** (Phase 6F) | Phase 6B's READY `root-06-m02` and `root-06-m03` remain unchanged; Phase 6F gave the practice-bank `root-06-m01` a real intro-lesson activity, closing the last gap. |
+| 7 | Kubernetes Networking & Configuration | **READY** (Phase 6F) | Phase 6C already converted `root-07-m02` to a full teaching module; Phase 6F gave the practice-bank `root-07-m01` a real intro-lesson activity, closing the last gap. |
+| 8 | Kubernetes Storage & Scheduling | PARTIAL — **excluded from ROOT_ V1** | Phase 6B's two PARTIAL modules are unchanged; Phase 6F excluded the whole course from ROOT_ V1 (`visibility=draft`) since nothing downstream requires it — see `docs/ROOT_V1_CURRICULUM_MANIFEST.md`. |
+| 9 | Kubernetes Security | **READY** (Phase 6F) | Phase 6B's four modules (all real CKS-style content) were already individually ready; Phase 6F's audit corrected a stale course-level status field. Now also a required Capstone prerequisite (Step 7). |
+| 10 | Kubernetes Troubleshooting & Observability | **READY** (Phase 6F) | The Phase 6A gold-standard module and Phase 6C's `root-10-m03` remain unchanged; Phase 6F gave the practice-bank `root-10-m02` a real intro-lesson activity, closing the last gap. |
+| 11 | DevOps & Platform Engineering Foundations | **PARTIAL, by design** | One real orientation module exists (lesson/knowledge-check/reflection); Phase 6F repositioned it explicitly as an optional bonus module, not a promise of a full course — see `docs/ROOT_V1_CURRICULUM_MANIFEST.md`. Deeper CI/CD/IaC/GitOps content remains unbuilt, unchanged. |
+| 12 | RootNode Real Ops | **READY** (Phase 6F) | Phase 6B's framing lesson/reflection wrapping the existing 4-scenario module was already complete; Phase 6F's audit corrected a stale course-level status. |

 The authorization's suggested sequence listed Security (09) after Storage/Scheduling (08) and
