side-quest-10-02-jailbreak-brief.md scored 7.74/10 — 695 words over the cognitive-load threshold and activity density of 0.87 from six passive read-only code blocks with no learner actions.

Changes

  • Removed second attack example — kept only the [SYSTEM OVERRIDE] block; replaced the "softer framing" example with an OWASP LLM01 link
  • Condensed defence-layer section — three summary bullets (explicitly spanning all five layers); per-layer prose + YAML examples moved into a <details> collapse
  • Added active exercise — "✏️ Exercise: spot the injection" presents a fictional bug-report issue body with an embedded injection sentence; learner identifies it before revealing the collapsed answer
  • Expanded checkpoint — 7 items, each targeting a specific defence layer (compiled brief, permissions, safe-outputs, network, detection job) plus exercise completion

Outcome

Metric Before After
Word count 1,495 905
Curriculum score 7.74 8.62
Cognitive load 5.8 9.5
Active learning 2.9 3.6

…d, add exercise
