Research direction
Start by reading workshop/side-quest-01-02-environment-reference.md and grepping workshop/ for links to its anchors. Edit the file to replace prose with a term|role|when-you-use-it table, move enterprise notes into <details> blocks, and add a gh --version self-check. Done when the file is ≤900 words, anchors preserved, and npx --yes markdownlint-cli2 passes.

Description
File: workshop/side-quest-01-02-environment-reference.md
Overall Score: 4.93 / 10.0 (corpus mean: 6.06)
Flagged Dimensions:
| Dimension | Score | Benchmark | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|
| cognitive_load | 6.3 | ≥ 9 (≤ 800 words) | −2.7 |
| active_learning | 2.1 | ≥ 10 (density ≥ 3) | −7.9 |
(checkpoint_quality 0.0 / scaffolding 5.0 are rubric artifacts — see the separate rubric-regex issue.)
Root Cause (≤ 2 sentences):
At 1433 words (2× the corpus median of 706) and 17 concepts, this reference page has only 2 code blocks and 7 checklist items, so activity density is 0.63. It mixes a glossary, screenshots and enterprise notes in a single linear read.
Evidence (quoted from the file):
"This is a reference page — you can read it any time. Come back here whenever the workshop uses a term you want to clarify."
Learning Science Rationale:
Sweller's Cognitive Load Theory and the Segmenting principle (Mayer) suggest long reference material should be chunked so learners look up only what they need. A glossary has legitimately low activity density, but splitting it lowers per-page load and makes anchor-links from lessons land on shorter pages.
Improvement Prompt (for an agent):
Edit workshop/side-quest-01-02-environment-reference.md (a reference page, Bloom level "remember"). Reduce it to ≤ 900 words by (a) replacing prose descriptions with a compact term | role | when-you-use-it table, (b) moving the enterprise-hostname and OpenAI Codex/Claude model notes into short <details> blocks, and (c) keeping every existing heading anchor that other workshop pages link to (grep workshop/ for "side-quest-01-02-environment-reference.md#" first). Add a quick self-check (one code block with `gh --version`, `git --version`) near the top so density rises. Keep the ":white_check_mark: Checkpoint" section. Run `npx --yes markdownlint-cli2 "workshop/side-quest-01-02-environment-reference.md"`.
Expected Score After Fix: 6.0 / 10.0 (≈ 8.0 once the rubric regex fix lands)
