Description
This needs discussion
One way to ensure mappers embark on a challenge with confidence is to ensure that they read the instructions for the task.
One way to do this would be to display the instructions once in a modal that the mapper needs to acknowledge before being able to continue. This would happen when the mapper engages with a challenge for the first time. Perhaps when they open the task, perhaps when they are about to open the editor.
One obvious complexity here is dealing with instructions with dynamic content (Mustache tags).

Research direction
No files or tests are identified. Start by clarifying whether the acknowledgement should appear when opening the task or before opening the editor, and how instructions containing Mustache tags should be handled; done means the chosen first-time challenge flow reliably requires acknowledgement.
