⏰ Timeline

Duration: 1.5 weeks (can run parallel to content development)
Prerequisites: Technical architecture finalization

🔗 Dependencies

• Core infrastructure development
• Content structure finalization
• Assessment framework design
• Developer toolchain setup

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by reviewing the finalized technical architecture and the listed infrastructure, content, assessment, and toolchain dependencies. Done means the requested technical, developer, content, maintenance, QA, and user-facing documentation deliverables and supporting automation are delivered against the stated success criteria.
