Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing spago.dhall setup and how example solutions are built and tested under CI. Resolve whether student dependencies should be shared or minimal and whether solution dependencies should be separated into a solution.dhall file. Done means the dependency policy is agreed and the Spago configuration and CI behavior reflect it without unnecessary unused-dependency warnings.

Description
I've put in some work into the switch over to Spago. One thing that has me thinking is how to deal with exercise dependencies (spago.dhall).
- We have the example solution which make use of certain dependencies. These are not necessarily the dependencies the student needs to use to solve the exercise. I'm thinking we could decouple these by having a
spago.dhallfile, i.e.solution.dhallto use for building and testing under CI. - Do we give the student a common set of dependencies so they do not need to worry about installing anything. Or do we give them the absolute basics and make them install anything they use? PureScript 0.14.x will start warning about unused dependencies and this can be a bit annoying.
