Research direction

Read 07d-confirm-model-access.md, 07-first-workflow, and side-quest-07d-billing-paths.md to understand the existing billing guidance and duplicated access check. Inline the billing decision and verification exercise in Step 7d, remove the duplicate from Step 7, then compare the affected step’s overall score and learning KPI index with the stated guardrails. The issue does not name a test or scoring command.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

feedback simulation workshop

Problem: 07-first-workflow has the highest dropout (21.8% of 22,478 at-risk runs); 3,793 of 4,901 failures are copilot-access-missing. 07d-confirm-model-access.md hands billing off to side-quest-07d-billing-paths.md and the access check appears twice (Step 7 and 7d).

Proposed change: Move the two-row billing decision table and a "which applies to me" question inline into 07d. Keep the side quest for detail. Add an exercise: after configuring, open the .lock.yml and find the line that proves the chosen path (copilot-requests permission or COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN). Remove the duplicated access check from Step 7.

Failure mode: access barrier

Quantitative guardrail: current overall_score 6.25; weakest dimension checkpoint_quality 0.0; active_learning 6.3, checkpoint_quality 0.0, scaffolding 5.0 (KPI index 3.67). Adding a verification exercise and a concrete checkpoint should raise active_learning and checkpoint_quality, with no change to cognitive demand.

Acceptance criteria:

  • The shared curriculum overall_score for the affected step stays flat or improves
  • The step's learning KPI index (2.0 × active_learning + 2.0 × checkpoint_quality + 1.5 × scaffolding) / 5.5 stays flat or improves
  • Hands-on practice, checkpoints, and scaffolding are preserved or strengthened
