# Using Practice

Use Practice when answers, grading, mistakes, or review history must survive context

loss. Flashcards are Practice items, not a separate plugin. Skip disposable one-off

questions that need no durable history.

+ Practice is a **silent control plane**. Do not narrate status checks, ID resolution,

+ response saves, grading writes, or scheduler reads. Never inspect its SQLite, plugin

+ files, or runtime binaries and never probe CLI help for routine arguments. The learner

+ sees the question, answer, feedback, and meaningful progress—not storage mechanics.

## Enter or recover

1. Inspect `LWC_READINESS.practice`. It is bounded readiness only, not consent to

enable, install, read answers, grade, or mutate review state.

2. If disabled, explain the durable local-data boundary and ask once before running

`lwc --scope global config set --practice enabled`. An explicit enable request

already supplies consent. Enabling does not download; the first

`lwc practice status` may lazily install the fixed hash-verified runtime.

3. Run `lwc practice status`. Recover an in-progress attempt and its saved responses

before creating another. Retry with the same `request_id`, owner, and `if_revision`.

4. After cross-machine recovery, require the latest successful Sync receipt and run an

explicit exact-revision takeover. The old owner must stop writing after takeover.

## Practice flow

1. Resolve exact typed subject, goal, book, bank, set, paper, and item IDs. Target

precedence is explicit plan target, goal bank, then subject default. A missing or

invalid higher-precedence target fails; never use fuzzy title/tag fallback.

2. Generated items remain draft until prompt, answer, rubric, and exact source ref are

re-read and verified. Formal papers use verified revisions only and return an exact

shortage instead of relaxing the blueprint.

3. Start or resume the exact attempt. Save every response immediately with its owner,

request ID, and `if_revision`; submission freezes already durable responses and is

not the save boundary. Abandonment preserves history.

v1 accepts exactly four response forms: choice, text, numeric, and flashcard

self-rating. Reject image, audio, file, code, or any fifth form.

4. Objective grading stays deterministic. Subjective grades must use the frozen rubric

and store concise user-visible rationale, confidence, method, and review state.

Learner overrides append history rather than replacing it.

5. Let the pinned scheduler compute review state and due dates. Respect the learner's

time budget and desired retention, and expose deferred debt; an Agent never edits

due dates or controls silently.

Keep committed IDs and the exact failed next command when cross-plugin orchestration

partially succeeds. Do not pretend independent stores are one transaction or copy

Practice records into the ordinary LWC Wiki. Never store hidden reasoning, system

prompts, tool logs, credentials, secrets, or unsupported response forms.
