+A check reaches the existing review queue when the AI says it is complete, or when the learner
+presses **Ask my mentor to look**. There is one waiting item per learner per capstone: a newer
+check replaces the one already waiting. The review page shows the full report: automated check
+results, per-criterion scores with the evidence the model cited, the commit, the model, tokens
+and cost, plus every earlier check. The review form is prefilled from the AI result, so
+**Approve** confirms it, and changing the feedback, score or verdict overrides it. This writes
+the ordinary `Review` row, so the queue, notifications and needs-revision loop work as today. **The AI never passes a learner on

+The block in a chapter is a fence; the importer reads the pack file, validates it and stores it

+intro: Paste your repo and your live site. The check takes about a minute.

+Check ids default to the check name (`live_ok`), so a criterion gates on `[live_ok]`. Give an
+id when a pack has two checks of the same kind. `passLevel` (default: full marks) sets the level

+## Known limits and follow-ups
+
+- The desktop app's reader does not draw the capstone block yet; it needs the same block in
+ `packages/learning-ui` (the web app has it). Learners can use the web app meanwhile.
+- Certificate eligibility counts every capstone block in the course. It does not yet filter by the
+ learner's course variant or release.
+- Claude's server-side refusal fallback is not enabled. A refused grade fails the check with a
+ message telling the learner to send it to their mentor.
+- Checks run inside the API process. A restart marks running checks as interrupted after five
+ minutes so the learner can check again. A job queue can replace this if volume grows.
+- Level 3's oral exam stage is the next phase (see above).
