Step 2 (
02a-setup-codespace.md) had a 19.9% dropout rate, disproportionately affecting UI-preferred and no-coding learners. The Codespaces plan availability check was buried after learners had already invested time in the path, and terminal newcomers hitgh authcommands with no scaffolding.Changes
Path-selection table: Added a
Plan requiredcolumn — learners see "Codespaces access (free for public repos)" for the ☁️ Codespace row and "None" for terminal/mobile rows before choosing a path.Terminal orientation: Replaced the bare "If this is your first time in a terminal…" sentence with a collapsible
<details>block placed immediately before "Verify your Codespace is ready" — covers prompt, typing, and reading output inline without adding cognitive load for experienced users. Used<details>directly (not a[!TIP]callout) to avoid astyle_compliancescoring penalty from exceeding the 3-callout threshold.Checkpoint: Added "I confirmed my GitHub plan includes Codespaces access" as the first checkpoint item, promoting the plan check from a buried prerequisite bullet to an explicit required verification.
