claude fbec36cb67 feat(course): build out all 27 modules, capstone, scaffold, and conventions
Scaffold the course repo and author the full curriculum in dependency-chain
order, following the settled build decisions in handoff.md.

- Scaffold: course README, vendor-neutral AGENTS.md (dogfoods Module 5),
  _TEMPLATE.md (the fixed 9-section module shape), root .gitignore, ship config.
- Modules 1-2: reference exemplars (locked for tone/depth/lab style).
- Modules 3-27: full lessons + runnable labs, each following the template,
  respecting the chain, vendor/model-agnostic, with "feel the pain" labs.
- Module 8 hosting comparison web-researched and date-stamped (as of 2026-06-22),
  not written from memory; expansion-zone modules carry Verify-before-publish.
- Capstone: the full loop end to end on the running tasks-app example.

Lab code syntax-checked (Python/shell/YAML); every module has the 7 core
template sections.

Demo app — tasks

A deliberately tiny command-line task tracker. It exists to be changed by an AI, so it's small enough to read in a minute but real enough to have more than one file — which is exactly where the copy-paste workflow starts to hurt.

This is the running example for Module 1 (where you feel the copy-paste problem) and Module 2 (where you put it under version control).

Files

  • tasks.py — the core logic (Task, TaskList).
  • cli.py — the command-line front end. Reads/writes tasks.json.

Run it

python cli.py add "read module 1"
python cli.py add "set up my editor"
python cli.py list
python cli.py done 0
python cli.py list

Requires Python 3.10+ (it uses list[Task] style type hints). No third-party packages.
