Structured lesson notes

Identity and access design works best when permissions are modeled around real workload boundaries, not convenience. Start by separating human identity, workload identity, and platform roles.

From there, define what actions must be allowed, what should be inherited, and where guardrails should stop accidental escalation. Good access design is less about broad access and more about clear intent.

Integration shape

This workspace now models a guided LMS lesson shell: activity rail, selected activity detail view, progress state, and next/previous learner controls. Different activity types can now render differently while still using a common data shape.

React layer: lesson shell, navigation, branded UX.
Moodle layer: activity payloads, completion, grading, labs, quiz/assignment state.
