Description

PR #92 fixed the silent-disabled pattern on the brainstorm's Send to class button (always clickable, explains what it needs, live character countdown). The same pattern survives on /teach:

disabled={codeInput.trim().length < 6 || loadingView}

Expected: clicking Open with a short code explains that codes are 6 characters. Actual: the button ignores clicks with no feedback.

Fix mirrors #92: remove the length condition from disabled, validate in openClassroom with a toast, optionally add the countdown hint. See DESIGN.md principle 6: never fail silently.

Found during the 27 Jul 2026 production walkthrough. Severity: confusing but there is a workaround (type all 6 characters).

Research direction
Locate the disabled attribute on the /teach Open button, remove the length condition from disabled, and add validation in openClassroom to show a toast explaining the 6 character requirement. Reference the fix in PR #92 for the similar pattern.
