Description
As first reported in this discussion post, we have found that grades are not persisted reliably for problems that have restricted access.
We merged a PR to address this problem, https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pull/33963, which reduces the frequently of the problem, but has not elminated it altogether.
We have documented steps to reproduce, including a minimal course, in this google doc.

Research direction
Start with the linked discussion and PR #33963, then follow the documented reproduction steps using the minimal course in the Google Doc. Compare the remaining failures with the behavior addressed by the merged PR. Done means grades persist reliably for problems with restricted access under the documented scenario.
