CURRENT INTERFACE CHECKPOINT

Repository: tpwarren-UXD/CDMP-Data-Governance-Knowledge-Base
Reconciled after current-source Chapters 1–17 + study-site website upgrade: 2026-08-19

Interface work completed

✅ The canonical 00C browser-native migration remains complete at 330 / 330 execution cards.
✅ Individual execution-card navigation covers the full Sequence 001–330 route.
✅ The CDMP Study Dashboard, Learner Progress Hub, searchable 330-Sequence Directory, read-only Progress Snapshot, Study Session Launcher, Visual Route Overview, Route Navigator, and all 24 route-block landing pages are online.
✅ Cards 001–329 expose direct links to Dashboard · Progress · Finder · Block · Previous · Next; Sequence 330 preserves the authored END OF EXECUTION ROUTE terminal state with no fabricated Sequence 331.
✅ Cross-block navigation is sequence-to-sequence rather than stopping at block indexes.
✅ The Study Session Launcher includes six bounded study modes: Reactivate, Advance One Card, Learn Deeply, Retrieval & Repair, Applied Work, and Exam Sprint.
✅ The CDMP Study Dashboard operates as a learner control panel and keeps the last-read learner snapshot visibly subordinate to the live Google checklist.
✅ A read-only Learner Progress Snapshot was created from the authoritative MASTER EXECUTION Google Sheet status range on August 15, 2026. At that snapshot, all 330 rows were Not Started, so Sequence 001 was the current learner action. This is a dated convenience snapshot, not a claim about current learner progress.
✅ No learner-status values were written or changed; the live Google Sheet remains learner-status authority.
✅ 00 — START HERE is a learner onboarding page with an explicit 00A / 00B / 00C role separation.
✅ The repository README and docs/index.md operate as learner-facing study entrances instead of developer-status pages.
✅ All 17 current-source 00A chapter mastery packages are available through Artifacts 01–07.
✅ All 17 chapter homes use one Quick Study Navigation shell: Study Home · Chapter Library · Learn · Exam Map · Visuals · Battle Cards · Scenarios · Questions · Recall · Source PDF · Formatted Originals.
✅ Every chapter stores its original DMBOK chapter PDF locally at source/original-dmbok-chapter.pdf.
✅ Every chapter has a Source & Formatted Originals panel; all 17 now show the local GitHub PDF first, then the Drive source copy and current Drive Guided Learning, Exam Map, Visual Atlas, Battle Cards, Scenario Lab, Question Bank, and Teach-Back.
✅ The Master Topic Finder provides concept-first A–Z navigation and major-framework routing.
✅ The Confusion Pair Finder routes high-risk neighboring concepts to the best comparison practice.
✅ The What Should I Study? router selects an artifact based on the learner's actual problem: understanding, confusion, questions, recall, scenarios, review, pacing, source verification or curriculum position.
✅ Stage 5 cross-domain foundation is online: Confusion Book, Battle Rounds, Mixed Scenarios and Cross-Domain Case Studies.
🟡 Stage 6 Exam Conditioning is in progress.
✅ The prerequisite repository-wide UX/link/orphan audit is complete; findings/repairs are recorded in docs/maintenance/STUDY-SITE-UX-AUDIT.md.
✅ A repeatable repository audit script and GitHub Actions workflow exist at scripts/audit_study_site.py and .github/workflows/study-site-audit.yml.

Website-style study interface

✅ mkdocs.yml now defines a MkDocs Material study site with top-level tabs, nested chapter sections, search, breadcrumbs, sticky navigation, dark/light mode, in-page TOC behavior and footer navigation.
✅ Each chapter appears in the rendered navigation with Overview · Learn · Exam Map · Visuals · Battle Cards · Scenarios · Questions · Recall · Source & Originals.
✅ docs/index.md is a card-based Program Study Home.
✅ docs/00A-dmbok-mastery/index.md is a card-based DMBOK learning portal.
✅ docs/00A-dmbok-mastery/chapters/index.md is an exam-weighted card-style course catalog.
✅ docs/stylesheets/extra.css provides the visual hierarchy for cards, hero/status areas, tables, callouts, readable page widths and responsive behavior.
✅ .github/workflows/build-private-study-site.yml audits and builds a static MkDocs site artifact named cdmp-private-study-site without deploying it publicly.
✅ .devcontainer/devcontainer.json configures a GitHub Codespaces preview on port 8000 and automatically starts mkdocs serve.
✅ requirements-site.txt contains the rendered-site dependency.
✅ docs/private-study-site.md documents private Codespaces, private Actions artifact and local-build workflows.
✅ The repository home links directly to the Private Rendered Study Site guide.
✅ No unrestricted public GitHub Pages deployment is configured.

Historical boundary vs current state

At the original August 15 interface checkpoint, interface work did not authorize or create the separate Chapter 2–17 00A mastery packages or 00B Meridian applied labs. That historical boundary was correct at the time.

The user subsequently authorized and completed the separate 00A Chapter 1–17 current-source build. Therefore:

  • 00A Chapters 1–17 are now available.
  • Artifact 08 remains performance-driven and is not prefilled.
  • Learner completion remains separate from artifact availability.
  • 00B Meridian labs, technology prerequisites, evidence workspaces, platform exercises and other non-00A gates remain separate and may still be unavailable until explicitly built/completed.

Current interface status

✅ Prerequisite cleanup Issues 1–4 are complete.
✅ Website-style interface upgrade is implemented in repository source.
🔎 One-time visual validation remains: open the authenticated Codespaces render once and inspect the real browser presentation. This connector cannot launch the user's Codespace/browser session itself.

That one-time render check is not another conversion/build phase. If it reveals a specific visual or navigation defect, repair only that defect. Otherwise return to substantive Mastery Lab work.

Resume point

Do not reopen the 00C migration, Chapter 1–17 fresh conversion, source-PDF archive, prerequisite UX cleanup, or website-style interface implementation as unfinished.

Current order:

  1. Perform the one-time private Codespaces visual check when convenient.
  2. Continue Stage 6 — Exam Conditioning as the substantive 00A Mastery Lab workstream.
  3. Build Artifact 08 only from real learner misses, timing, confidence and confusion evidence.
  4. Preserve learner status in the live Google checklist as a separate state.
  5. Preserve 00B/non-00A gates unless their own workflows explicitly complete them.
