Description

If you open a hint in a tutorial and then go to the next step, the hint remains open, giving users the "answer" for the next thing to do. We want to make sure that hints get closed when a user goes to the next step.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Got to beta
  2. Select a longer tutorial, an example is Love Meter
  3. Open the hint on the step
  4. Go to the next step
  5. See that the hint is still open

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the beta editor with the Love Meter tutorial: open a hint, move to the next step, and confirm the hint remains visible. Trace the tutorial step transition and hint state; done means an opened hint is closed when advancing to the next step.
