Research direction

Start by locating the code that validates submitted Prolog clauses and produces feedback. Trace how variables are inspected, then add coverage for the singleton-variable example and verify that the option can reject it while explaining that the variable could be replaced by a wildcard.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

For example, a clause „p(X,f(Y)) :- g(X).“ would be rejected, because (and that should be given as feedback) Y could be replaced by wildcard.
