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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <[email protected]>

Reflection: Five Commands, Five Answers, One Diagnosis
Reflection questions
- Which of these five commands did you already know before this module? Which was genuinely new?
- You now have a real toolkit for Module 3's "where is the failure" question. What's still missing before you'd feel fully confident diagnosing a real production networking issue?
Real Ops takeaway
Five specific commands, each answering one specific question, beat one vague instinct that "something's wrong with the network." This is the exact toolkit real engineers reach for first, in this order, when handed an unfamiliar connectivity problem. Module 5 puts all five into one continuous diagnostic story; Module 6 formalizes the discipline around using them.
This module is complete. Continue to the next module.
Instructor Notes
Discussion questions for a live classroom: question 2's honest answer is usually "experience with real, varied failures" — a good moment to set expectations that fluency compounds with practice, not from one module.
Approximate timing: 5-8 minutes live discussion; 5 minutes self-paced writing.
