Research direction

The report does not name a repository file, test, or entry point, and the attached screenshot is the only error detail provided. Start by reproducing assignment acceptance with a current GitHub Classroom setup and identify the displayed error; done means the acceptance flow works again or the failure is documented with a clear cause.

Description

All my assignment, including new ones I just created, now show the message below. Did something break connected to the GitHub outage yesterday or something? I have 150 student waiting for assignments now and I'm going to have share files through Dropbox because GH classroom stopped working.
