ced4568andClaude Sonnet 5 e007bcf000 feat(root02): author Linux Administration & Networking
Adds all 6 ROOT 02 modules (Linux system administration, storage & filesystems, the
Networking Mental Model, Linux network inspection, DNS & HTTP, Linux troubleshooting) — 37
activities, each with a real lesson, demonstration/guided exercise, knowledge check, hands-on
Lab, and reflection. The Networking Mental Model module (M3) gets deliberately extra depth per
its "critical module" designation, with no lab by design — conceptual mastery via knowledge
check and guided exercise, matching root-05-m00's own precedent.

Adds 6 new hands-on Linux/networking scenarios plus 2 MCQs: linux-service-inspection (inspects
the platform's own real nginx without touching it — a genuinely safe, real service-inspection
target that avoids ever risking the Lab's own connectivity), linux-service-lifecycle (start/
verify/stop a fully controllable service), linux-storage-inspection, linux-network-inspection
(ip/ss/getent/curl, each framed as answering one specific diagnostic question),
linux-dns-http-diagnosis (a genuine DNS-resolves-but-wrong-port failure, diagnosed and fixed),
and linux-troubleshooting-framework (a real missing-config-file failure, resolved via the
RootNode Observe/Evidence/Hypothesis/Test/Repair/Validate/Prevent framework). All tested
end-to-end via the real scenario-validation API, including negative tests confirming they fail
when unsolved.

Wires rootnode-linux-networking-assessment (2 required + 4 random-draw scenarios) using the
existing Phase 3B assessment engine.

# Knowledge Check: Storage and Filesystems
---
**1. `df -h /` shows only 23% used, but you suspect one directory is unusually large. Does
`df` alone answer that?**
*Answer:* No — `df` reports overall filesystem usage, not per-directory. You need `du -sh <path>`
pointed at the suspect directory (or directories) to answer that.
---
**2. What makes data in a container's writable layer different from data in `/home`?**
*Answer:* By convention and design, a container's own writable layer is meant to be disposable —
data there disappears when the container is destroyed, unless explicitly persisted elsewhere
(a topic ROOT 04 covers directly). `/home` data is expected to persist normally.
---
**3. What does "mounting" a filesystem actually mean?**
*Answer:* Attaching a filesystem so it becomes accessible at a specific directory path — `/`
itself is a mount point, and additional filesystems can be mounted at other paths.
## Instructor Notes
**Facilitation:** Question 2 previews ROOT 04's volume/bind-mount content directly — worth
naming that connection explicitly.
**Approximate timing:** 5 minutes.
