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 This was Tier-1-isolation groundwork that got superseded same-day by the full-ephemeral-per-student architecture (see docs/LAB_ARCHITECTURE.md) — the field is kept as descriptive metadata only, per the note now in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.

"description": "## Pod Restart Policies\n\nA pod runs a one-time database migration script. If the script **fails** (non-zero exit), the container should be restarted. If it **succeeds** (exit 0), it should **not** be restarted.\n\nWhich `restartPolicy` should be set in the pod spec?",

"explanation": "`OnFailure` is the right policy for batch workloads like migration scripts — Kubernetes restarts the container on any non-zero exit code but leaves it alone after a clean exit (code 0). `Always` (the default for Deployment pods) would keep restarting even after success, creating an infinite restart loop. `Never` means no automatic recovery on failure. `OnCompletion` does not exist in Kubernetes — the three valid values are `Always`, `OnFailure`, and `Never`. Jobs automatically use `OnFailure` by default.",
