Research direction

Compare the assistant and CLI download entry points and trace how assignment and username folder names are formed. Confirm the desired shared layout, preserving kebab-case names, and verify that both download paths produce the same structure without the duplication described.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The assistant downloads repos with the assignment as a root folder with the idividual assignments in folder with usernames.
The cli downloads the assignment in a folder called. {assignment}-submissions and then the individual assignments in a folder with. {assignment name}-{username}.
There is duplication here and also is likely to break automation that people have written

kebab case is much better than spaces though, so please keep that.
