Adds all 6 ROOT 01 modules (how computers run software, the shell, filesystem navigation,
files & text, processes, users & permissions foundations), each with a real lesson,
demonstration/guided exercise, knowledge check where warranted, a hands-on Lab, and a
reflection — 35 activities, 29 new content files.
Adds 6 new hands-on Linux scenarios (linux-inspect-hardware, linux-shell-basics,
linux-filesystem-navigation, linux-files-and-text, linux-process-management,
linux-permissions-foundations) plus 2 MCQ scenarios, using the existing generic scenario/
validation engine (docs/ROOT_FOUNDATIONS_LAB_STRATEGY.md §1) — every one tested end-to-end via
the real scenario setup/validate API, including negative tests confirming they correctly FAIL
when not actually solved (e.g. the process-management scenario fails while the target process
is still running; the permissions scenario is tested against a real `su - labuser` denial).
Wires rootnode-linux-foundations-assessment (2 required + 4 random-draw scenarios) using the
existing Phase 3B assessment engine.
Adds a real, server-side ROOT 01->02->03->04->05 course prerequisite chain
(courses.prerequisites) — verified live on two students: one who completed ROOT 01 sees ROOT 02
unlock; a fresh student sees ROOT 02 correctly locked while 03/04/05 stay vacuously satisfied
(their own prerequisite courses are still empty). ROOT 06+ and the Capstone are unaffected.

Pre-Phase-1 platform work, approved and tested earlier but not yet committed:
- Terminal banner: "RootNode Academy Lab — node: k8s-lab", upstream KubeKosh
attribution left untouched in footer/README/LICENSE.
- RootNode curriculum mode: scenarios/rootnode-path.json (Foundation -> Workloads
-> Networking -> Configuration -> Troubleshooting -> Real Ops -> Capstone),
built from existing scenario content grouped by category, no new scenarios
invented. New GET /api/curriculum/path endpoint.
- Student roster + per-student progress: instructor-roster, pick-your-name login
(no password), students/environments-adjacent progress table migrated to a
(student_id, scenario_id) composite key so practice progress and exam sessions
are isolated per student instead of one global bucket. New /api/roster,
/api/login endpoints.
- scenarios/data/*.json: added isolation_type metadata (shared_namespace vs
ephemeral_cluster) from an audit of which scenarios execute cluster-scoped or
node-level commands. This was Tier-1-isolation groundwork that got superseded
same-day by the full-ephemeral-per-student architecture (see
docs/LAB_ARCHITECTURE.md) — the field is kept as descriptive metadata only,
per the note now in scenarios/SCHEMA.md. Not wasted: it's an accurate audit of
which scenarios touch cluster-scoped resources, useful independent of isolation
model.
- .gitignore added (node_modules/, frontend/dist/, *.db, /data/, .env) — none
existed before; without it, npm installs during testing would have landed in
a commit.
Known limitation still open: no frontend UI for any of this yet (login screen,
roster-add form, curriculum view) — API-only. No auth on the roster-add endpoint.

- Split `scenarios/scenarios.json` into individual JSON files under `scenarios/data/` named `<scenario-id>.json`
- Split `scenarios/bundles.json` into individual JSON files under `scenarios/bundles/` named `<bundle-id>.json`
- Updated `backend/server.js` to dynamically load scenario and bundle files from their respective directories
- Updated documentation in `scenarios/SCHEMA.md` and `README.md` to reflect the new repository layout and contributor workflow
