    Three heuristics for producers

    Visibility of status: Show lesson progress, locked states, and score on the gate — don’t hide them in a menu.

    Recognition over recall: Drag labels stay visible; don’t make learners memorize bin names.

    Error prevention: Confirm destructive actions; disable Continue until required interactions complete.
