seed_data/checkpoints.yaml

# Resource checkpoint module lists, keyed by resource URL.
#
# Loaded by `python manage.py seed_initial_resources` (create-if-absent — it
# never overwrites checkpoints a resource already has, so re-seeding can't drop
# a learner's UserCheckpointProgress). Kept separate from resources.yaml so that
# curated file's comments/ordering stay intact.
#
# `source: jsonld` lists were auto-extracted from the provider's public
# schema.org/Course data via `manage.py import_checkpoints` and reviewed.
# `source: manual` lists were hand-authored from the course's published outline
# (the importer couldn't reach an outline: SPA page, bot wall, or — for the
# YouTube videos — no YOUTUBE_API_KEY at seed time).
#
# Scope: COURSE and VIDEO resources only. DOCS/ARTICLE keep the single
# completion checkbox (a reference ToC isn't a learning sequence). Enforced by
# `manage.py check_checkpoints`.
