ced4568andClaude Sonnet 5 e68b6f445a feat(root03): author Git & Collaborative Development
Adds all 6 ROOT 03 modules (why version control exists, the Git mental model, everyday Git,
branching & merging, remote repositories, engineering Git workflow) — 31 activities. Uses only
real LOCAL Git repositories throughout — no Gitea account, no network access, and no
RootNode-canonical-repo credential is ever needed or exposed in a student Lab
(docs/ROOT_FOUNDATIONS_LAB_STRATEGY.md §4). Modules 1, 2, and 6 are conceptual bookends with no
lab, matching the flexible readiness standard already used in ROOT 01/02.

Adds 3 new hands-on Git scenarios plus 2 MCQs: git-everyday-basics (init/add/commit, validated
by inspecting real `git log`/`git show` state, not just command output strings — Step 6's
explicit requirement), git-branching-and-merge (a REAL merge conflict caused on purpose by two
branches editing the same line, resolved by the student, validated by confirming the conflict
markers are gone and a real two-parent merge commit exists), and git-remote-clone-push (a real
local bare repository standing in for a remote — clone/commit/push validated by inspecting the
REMOTE side directly, not just the student's own clone). All tested end-to-end via the real
scenario-validation API, including negative tests.

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

# Demonstration: The Full Cycle, End to End
## OBSERVE
```
$ git init
$ git status --short
(nothing — empty repository)
```
## HYPOTHESIS
Predict what happens to `git status` after creating a new file.
## INSPECT
```
$ echo "v1" > app.py
$ git status --short
?? app.py
```
## CHANGE
```
$ git add app.py
$ git diff --staged
+v1
$ git commit -m "Add initial app.py"
```
`git diff --staged` shows exactly what's ABOUT to be committed — a real, final check before it
becomes permanent.
## VERIFY
```
$ git log --oneline
3f9a1c2 Add initial app.py
$ git status --short
(clean)
```
The complete cycle, verified with real evidence at each step — not "I think I committed it,"
but confirmed via `git log`.
## Instructor Notes
**Demo goal:** Show `git diff --staged` as the final safety check before a commit becomes
permanent — a habit worth building explicitly, not just mentioning in passing.
**Approximate timing:** 8 minutes live.
**Common mistake to watch for:** skipping `git diff`/`git diff --staged` entirely and committing
on faith — a good moment to ask "how would you know if you accidentally staged the wrong
thing?"
