[curriculum-eval] 07d-confirm-model-access.md: cognitive_load + checkpoint_quality — 1247 words with no checkpoint section

[github-actions]

File: workshop/07d-confirm-model-access.md
Overall Score: 5.3 / 10.0 (corpus mean: 6.1)

Flagged Dimensions:

Dimension	Score	Benchmark	Delta
checkpoint_quality	0.0	10.0 (≥4 items under ✅ Checkpoint)	-10.0
cognitive_load	6.5	10.0 (≤800 words, ≤15 new concepts)	-3.5
active_learning	3.7	≥6.6 (density ≥3/100 words)	-2.9

Root Cause (≤ 2 sentences):
The page is 1,247 words — 447 over the 800-word target — because it combines model-access verification, a full billing decision tree, two billing configuration paths, and a troubleshooting tree in one step. The ## :white_check_mark: Checkpoint heading is missing, so checkpoint_quality scores 0 despite 10 checklist items existing elsewhere in the file.

Evidence (quoted from the file):

"You'll verify Copilot model access with a quick test that uses the agentic-workflows skill, then choose the billing and authentication method for the first workflow, configure it, and confirm the source and lock files agree before you continue to Step 8."

Learning Science Rationale:
Sweller's Cognitive Load Theory identifies split-attention as a primary source of extraneous load: when learners must simultaneously process model-access verification, a billing decision tree, and two configuration paths, working memory is saturated and germane load (schema formation) is crowded out. With 20 new concepts — 5 above Miller's 7±2 sustainable chunk limit — this page is a prime candidate for content decomposition.

Improvement Prompt (for an agent):

In workshop/07d-confirm-model-access.md:
1. Split the page into two focused pages:
   - 07d-confirm-model-access.md: keep only "Verify model access" and "Pre-flight troubleshooting" (~350 words).
   - 07e-configure-copilot-billing.md: move "Confirm the workflow engine", "Choose one Copilot billing path", and "Check the final configuration" into this new page.
2. Add a "## :white_check_mark: Checkpoint" section at the end of each new page with at least 4 specific, verifiable checklist items.
3. Verify word count of 07d is ≤800 words after the split.
4. Update internal navigation links (prev/next) in both pages and in workshop/README.md.

Expected Score After Fix: 7.5 / 10.0
