ced4568andClaude Sonnet 5 15b616274b feat(root01): author Computing & Linux Foundations, and the real 01->05 prerequisite chain
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.

# Demonstration: The Same Word, Two Different Destinations
## OBSERVE
Starting from `/home/student`, run `cd project` — you land at `/home/student/project`.
## HYPOTHESIS
Now, from `/home/student/project`, what do you predict `cd project` will do this time?
## INSPECT
```
$ pwd
/home/student/project
$ cd project
bash: cd: project: No such file or directory
```
It fails — there's no `project` directory INSIDE `project` (unless you happened to create one).
The exact same relative path meant something completely different depending on where you stood.
## CHANGE
From `/home/student/project`, run `cd ../project` instead — this correctly goes back up one
level, then into `project` again, landing you right back where you started.
## VERIFY
`pwd` after each `cd` to confirm exactly where you ended up — this habit (verify your location
before assuming it) prevents a huge share of "why did my command run somewhere unexpected"
confusion later.
## Instructor Notes
**Demo goal:** Make "relative paths depend on where you are" concrete and slightly surprising,
rather than an abstract rule to memorize.
**Approximate timing:** 8 minutes live.
**Common mistake to watch for:** students assume a relative path always means the SAME thing
once they've used it once — reinforce that it's re-evaluated fresh every time, from wherever
they currently are.
