Upgrades six PARTIAL modules to the gold-module standard (lesson/demonstration/
knowledge-check/guided-exercise/lab(s)/reflection), preserving every existing lab
activity_id and scenario_id: root-06-m03 (jobs/cronjobs/daemonsets), root-07-m04
(ingress/networkpolicy), root-07-m02 (configuration/secrets, converted in place
from a bare 5-lab bank), root-09-m02 (serviceaccounts/rbac), root-09-m03
(network/supply-chain security), root-10-m03 (troubleshooting framework).
root-05-m01 (20-task kubectl-fluency bank) gets a minimal bookending lesson +
reflection rather than a full redesign, since each task already carries its own
explanation. root-12-m01, root-capstone-m01, and root-09-m04 are promoted to
READY via documented exceptions (no new activities) where adding one would
misrepresent their intentional design.
Wires a new rootnode-security-assessment (exam, 60min, hint_policy disabled)
using the existing Phase 3B assessment engine: 3 required hands-on CORE
scenarios + 4 random-draw pools covering SecurityContext, RBAC, network
policy, and the 7 previously-unwired CKS MCQs. Wires the previously-unwired
readiness-probe-task scenario as an OPTIONAL practice lab in root-10-m01,
using the existing is_required model.
Adds root-11-m01-devops-platform-thinking — an honest, lesson-only ROOT 11
orientation module naming DevOps/platform engineering practices already
exercised in ROOT 05-10/12, explicit that GitOps/CI-CD/IaC/observability need
lab infrastructure this platform doesn't yet provide. No fake labs.
Adds infra/scripts/validate-course-content.js: cross-checks the DB against
scenario/content files for duplicate ids, orphans, invalid references, cycles,
sequence collisions, instructor-notes leakage, and (new) self-paced content
deferring explanation to a live instructor. 0 errors against the resulting
22 courses/modules, 163 activities, 98 scenario files.
No application code changed — every gap was satisfiable with existing tables
(course_modules, module_activities, assessment_definitions) and the existing
content-delivery pipeline.

The Phase 6A gold-standard Health Probes module is preserved byte-for-
byte unchanged — it's the template, not a page to rewrite for
consistency.
root-10-m03-troubleshooting-framework — a new PARTIAL module
introducing a repeatable Observe -> Gather Evidence -> Form Hypothesis
-> Test -> Repair -> Validate -> Prevent Recurrence framework, applied
to a CrashLoopBackOff and a broken Service selector. Lesson,
demonstration (the full framework walked through a real
CrashLoopBackOff, command by command), knowledge check, and real Labs
(crashloop-fix, endpoint-fix-task). Sequenced between the gold module
and the existing bare-lab bank, which now sits behind it.
