Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by mapping the existing learner and course APIs and services, then clarify how the recommended action is selected and whether attempts remaining can be calculated. Done means an endpoint and service return the agreed assignment, competency, threshold, link, and attempts fields.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

  • Name of assignment
  • Name of competency
  • Competency threshold
