Research direction

Locate the existing “Number of Questions” control and its +/- handlers, then read how the current default and minimum behavior are implemented. Add direct numeric entry while preserving the existing controls, validate a minimum of 1, handle empty or invalid input gracefully, and verify that the existing behavior still works.

Feature and its Use Cases

Description:
The current "Number of Questions" control only supports increment and decrement via +/- buttons, with a default value of 10.

This approach becomes inefficient when users need to input larger values, as it requires repeated clicking.

Problem:

Poor scalability of input mechanism
Increased user effort for larger values
No direct input option

Additional Context

Proposed Solution:
Introduce a numeric input field (input type="number") alongside the existing +/- controls, allowing users to directly enter the desired number of questions.

Expected Behavior:

Users can:
Use +/- buttons (existing behavior), or
Type a number directly into the input field
Input is validated (minimum value = 1)
Invalid or empty input is handled gracefully
Existing functionality remains unchanged
