Summary

guide/authoring.md §6.5 already forbids a fake placeholder question_text() ("no command to run, just Continue"). But 08-seguro-popular's Courage Exercise 10 shipped a different variant of the same mistake: an ### Exercise N heading followed only by prose and a formula, with no question_text() chunk . Nothing in the guide explicitly named that as the same violation, so it read as compliant on a literal pass even though it broke the rule's spirit.

  • ### Exercise N heading must be followed by an actual question_text() chunk before the next ###/## heading

  • Also adds an explicit pre-submission self-check instruction (scan every Exercise header, confirm a question_text() chunk follows it).

  • the fake exercise heading was removed, its formula content folded into the following exercise's preamble, and the rest of the Courage section renumbered (Exercise 10 -> 13, chunk labels courage-10 through courage-13).

guide/authoring.md §6.5 already forbade a fake placeholder
question_text() ("no command to run, just Continue"), but a tutorial
(08-seguro-popular Courage Exercise 10) shipped a plainer variant of
the same mistake: an ### Exercise N heading followed only by prose and
a formula, with no question_text() chunk at all. Nothing in the guide
explicitly named that as the same violation, so it read as compliant
on a literal pass even though it broke the rule's spirit.

Make the rule airtight: every ### Exercise N heading must be followed
by an actual question_text() chunk before the next ###/## heading,
full stop, whether the missing piece is a fake placeholder or nothing
at all. Add an explicit pre-submission self-check instruction.
