4. Observe that all "Run" buttons on the page are gray and not clickable
All tutorials are affected.
**Expected behavior**
Syntax errors in one kata exercise must not impact other exercises.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue at https://microsoft.github.io/qsharp/ by editing PowersOfI in the Complex Arithmetic tutorial, then compare the behavior with a local playground build. Trace how the playground enables Run buttons across exercises when one exercise has a syntax error. Done means the affected exercise remains disabled while Run buttons for other exercises stay usable.
