Research direction

Start by reading backend/openedx_ai_extensions/prompts/default_generate_quiz_questions.txt, especially the EXTRA_INSTRUCTIONS section, and trace where this prompt is used in the educator workflow. Clarify the intended prompt-injection protection and verify that the resulting workflow no longer allows extra instructions to override its intended behavior.
