[ordering-review] workshop order graph: 1 ordering issue, 3 cycles reviewed as benign

问题出在 workshop/side-quest-01-02-environment-reference.md。请阅读其中 "Before You Start" 的文字和 "Verify your tools are ready" 一节，然后检查 README.md 中的分支链接，以及 02a-setup-codespace.md 中的 Codespace 设置。完成的标准是：验证步骤要么以完成设置（或本地终端的 side quest）为前提，要么移到 02a，并且 "Before You Start" 的文字要说明这一点。运行 npx --yes markdownlint-cli2 "**/*.md" 以确认修改没有问题。

Graph health summary

The generated report covered 97 pages, 338 constraints, 57 potential findings, 3 cycles, 3 feedback loops and 3 weird cycles. I checked the cited pages and confirmed one real ordering problem. The cycles and the 50 gh_authenticated "missing_prerequisite_link" findings are false positives (details below).

Mermaid graph (reduced to the pages involved in verified or cited anomalies; the full graph is in the generated report)

Ordering constraints (key subset)

• 01 -> 02a (or 02-SQ01 local path) -> 06 (install gh-aw) -> 07 -> 07d -> 08.
• Every gh/gh aw command requires an opened Codespace or local terminal (environment_ready), which 02a or 02-SQ01 provides.
• gh aw commands require the extension installed in 06.
• 05b requires 05; 07d requires 07 (normal flow) or can precede it (model-access error recovery).

Confirmed cycles, feedback loops, weird cycles

All three are intentional and benign:

• 07 <-> 07d: 07d documents two entry points (error recovery from 07, or the normal next step). Deliberate.
• 05 <-> 05b: 05 only mentions 05b in inline prose ("You will explore security in..."). Only 05b lists 05 as a prerequisite, so this is not a real dependency loop.
• 02a <-> 02-SQ01: the local-terminal side quest links back to 02a as a fallback ("switch to Set Up a Codespace"). This is an optional escape hatch, not a prerequisite.

The missing_prerequisite_link findings for gh_authenticated (about 50 pages) are heuristic noise: authentication is provided by the Codespace/gh setup in 02a/06 and is not a missing link per page.

Verified ordering problem

workshop/side-quest-01-02-environment-reference.md

• Quoted instruction that appears too early:

  :white_check_mark: Verify your tools are ready

  Open a terminal in your Codespace and run: gh --version, git --version, gh auth status

  (also the gh aw compile note: "the gh aw compile command still runs locally in your Codespace")

• Missing earlier step: this side quest branches from 01-prerequisites.md (see README.md: "branches from Step 1"), and its Before You Start says "you can read it any time". But the Codespace (02a-setup-codespace.md) or local terminal (side-quest-02-01-local-terminal.md) does not exist yet at that point, and it also claims gh is "Pre-installed in the Codespace".

• Why it confuses learners: a learner who follows the side quest from Step 1 is told to open a terminal "in your Codespace" and run verification commands before any Codespace has been created, and the page says no terminal is required to read it.

• Suggested fix: in side-quest-01-02-environment-reference.md, either (a) change the "Verify your tools are ready" section to start with a conditional: "Once you have completed Set Up a Codespace (link unavailable: invalid HTTPS URL) (or the local terminal side quest), open a terminal and run:" or (b) move the verification block to 02a-setup-codespace.md, where the environment is first available. Also update the Before You Start text to say the verification block applies only after setup.

Notes

This issue is ready for an agent to resolve. Run npx --yes markdownlint-cli2 "**/*.md" after the edit, and assess golden-ticket branch impact (likely none: the page is a reference side quest).
