Coding and Expansion Foundations Progress¶
This file records learner evidence for the fresh-start foundations course. It should be updated after live tutoring sessions, placement checks, or explicit learner-confirmed completion.
Status values:
not started: no live evidence yet.in progress: lesson started but not completed.complete: learner completed the lesson or passed its active-recall checks.needs review: learner attempted the lesson but missed core prerequisites.skipped by diagnostic: learner passed the relevant diagnostic and skipped the lesson.
Course Status¶
- Overall status: not started.
- Next lesson: Lesson 01 - Research Orientation, GF(2), and the Hamming Code.
- Readiness gate: assessment-rubric.md.
- Evidence log: session-log.md.
- Follow-on course: Conjecture 3 Frontier Alignment.

Chapter Reading Progress¶
| Chapter | Status | Evidence |

Assessment Record¶
No foundation assessment has been attempted.
When grading assessment-rubric.md, record:
- date;
- score out of 20;
- missed or partial questions;
- whether the learner should continue foundations or start the frontier course;
- session-log entry used as evidence;
- update needed in learner-progress.md and alignment-dashboard.md.
Handoff Rule¶
Move to Conjecture 3 Frontier Alignment only if one of these is true:
- all nine lessons are complete or skipped by diagnostic; or
- the foundation assessment score is at least
16/20, with no0on required gate questions.
