How to Use This Folder

  1. Read each file’s “The Core Question” before implementing.
  2. Implement by phases and stop at each checkpoint.
  3. Use the deterministic “Real World Outcome” transcript to verify correctness.
  4. Complete the self-assessment checklist before moving to the next project.
