Module 12 · Lesson 1 · About 50 minutes · Needs: Module 6 (the base recipe), Module 8, Lesson 3 (the document mask); a Groq or Gemini key for one optional block (course-guide/02)The situation
Sol 440 at Aurora Station. Maya Lindqvist, the Station Systems Lead, wants every maintenance log turned into a log card: person, system, place and outcome. Her bar: all four fields exactly right on at least 90% of CARD_EVAL, and general validation loss no more than 0.02 worse than base. Tariq Haddad adds that every log sent to a hosted model uses the narrow relay to Earth.
