Guided tutorial: stop showing right/wrong on engagement checks - #143
Conversation
The embedded checks exist to verify engagement, not to grade. Several of them cannot be answered unambiguously: a run-scored key is whatever the participant's own run produced, the comparison is a lenient string match (`norm()` folds case and a leading marker and nothing else), and a token like a space or a newline cannot be typed as it renders. A participant who did the step correctly and typed "Paris." was told "Not quite — the answer was Paris", which discourages them for no reason. Checks now default to acknowledging the answer and saying nothing about it. A check whose key is genuinely unambiguous can opt back in with `feedback: "verdict"` in the content JSON; the validator rejects any other value, so a typo can't silently un-verdict a check that was authored to show one. The verdict is still computed, persisted in `checkResultByUnit`, and emitted on `check_answered` — it just never reaches the screen — so the engagement funnel is unchanged. Progression never gated on checks. That last part is why this also logs the answer key. `check_answered` carried the answer and a `correct` boolean, and discarded the key that boolean was computed against, so a row could not be re-graded after the fact: recovering the key meant joining to `lens_runs` by timestamp (nothing links a run to a step), and for a `secondToken` check, reading the runner-up out of the heavy `data.topk` column of the run you guessed at. Tolerable while the participant saw the verdict and could correct themselves; not now that `correct` is the whole grading record. So the key travels with it, as `expected` + `checkKind` on the event payload. The payload column is free-form JSON, so existing rows just lack the fields. `answerCheck` takes the key as a required argument rather than an optional one — it is only in scope at the call site, and an optional argument would let a future caller drop it and leave a row nobody can re-grade.

Restricting validation to omitted, "neutral", or "verdict" values is a bounded follow-up. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Reject null feedback values.
Line 202 treats null as an omitted value. A JSON tutorial with check.feedback: null passes validation and the panel silently uses neutral feedback. The contract permits omission, "neutral", or "verdict" only.
Change the guard to test only for undefined. Add a validation test for null.
Proposed fix
- if (u.check.feedback != null && !validCheckFeedback.has(u.check.feedback)) {
+ if (u.check.feedback !== undefined && !validCheckFeedback.has(u.check.feedback)) {📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

The problem
The embedded checks are there to verify engagement, not to grade — but the panel told participants they were wrong, and often they weren't. A run-scored check's answer key is whatever the participant's own run produced, and the comparison is a lenient string match (
norm()folds case and one leading marker, nothing else). TypeParis.after readingParisoff the grid and you were told "Not quite — the answer was Paris." Some keys can't be typed as they render at all (a space, a newline, a punctuation glyph).What changed
Checks no longer show a verdict by default. Answering now prints
Answer recorded.; revisiting a step restatesYou answered "X".with no key and no judgement. The typed check's button says Submit rather than Check, since "Check" itself promises a verdict.It's a content flag, not a global switch.
check.feedbackis"verdict" | "neutral", defaulting to"neutral"— so existing tutorial content gets the safe behavior with no JSON edits. A check whose key is genuinely unambiguous (the "which way does the shaded region spread?" multiple choice, say) can opt back in with"feedback": "verdict".validateTutorialContentrejects any other value, so a typo can't silently un-verdict a check that was authored to show one.Nothing about scoring or progression changed. The verdict is still computed, still persisted in
checkResultByUnit, still emitted oncheck_answered. It just never reaches the screen. Progression never gated on checks (progression.onisrun/patch/manual).And the reason this also touches telemetry
With the verdict hidden,
correctis the entire grading record — and it was a boolean computed against a key we threw away. Reconstructing that key after the fact meant joining tolens_runsby timestamp (nothing links a run to a step), and for asecondTokencheck, digging the runner-up out of the heavydata.topkcolumn of whichever run you guessed at.So
check_answerednow carriesexpectedandcheckKindalongsideanswerandcorrect. The payload column is free-form JSON, so older rows simply lack the fields. Post-hoc re-grading with a more forgiving normaliser is now possible from the event row alone.answerChecktakes the key as a required third argument rather than an optional one: it's only in scope at the call site, and an optional argument would let a future caller drop it and leave behind a row nobody can re-grade.Testing
bash scripts/test.sh— 196 pass, 0 fail. New cases cover the validator rejecting an unknownfeedbackvalue and accepting both valid ones, the emitted payload carryingexpected+checkKind, and a null key being omitted rather than logged as a literalnull.bunx tsc --noEmit— 34 errors, identical to the count onmain; none in the touched files.bun run lint— 60 problems, identical tomain; none in the touched files.bunx prettier --checkon the diff — clean.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
