Three places where the course contradicted itself or the actual repo layout: - Act 2 name: README and lesson 0 called it "The Sea Trials", but lessons 4-7 and copilot-instructions.md call it "The Wireless Room". Settled on The Wireless Room (also the correct 14 April setting). - Stale paths: lessons referenced .github/copilot/agents, .github/copilot/hooks and .github/copilot/.mcp.json, and copilot-instructions.md referenced .github/.mcp.json. The real layout is .github/agents/, .github/hooks/ and a root .mcp.json. Lesson 4's config sample also showed args ["../../server/index.js"]; corrected to ["server/index.js"] with cwd "." to match the shipped .mcp.json. - Act 1 dispatch: lesson 2 suggested /fleet for what lesson 1 and copilot-instructions.md frame as a task-tool subagent exercise. /fleet is the Act 3 concept; replaced with natural-language task-tool dispatch of three background researcher subagents.

While reviewing the IOA escape room slides against this course, three places where the course contradicted itself (or the actual repo layout) came to light. This fixes them so the course is internally consistent.
Changes
Act 2 name. The
README.mdand the lesson 0 welcome table called Act 2 "The Sea Trials", but lessons 4-7 andcopilot-instructions.mdcall it "The Wireless Room". Settled on The Wireless Room - it is the dominant name and the historically correct setting for the 14 April voyage (the sea trials were 2 April).Stale paths. Several lessons referenced
.github/copilot/agents/,.github/copilot/hooks/and.github/copilot/.mcp.json, andcopilot-instructions.mdreferenced.github/.mcp.json. The real layout is.github/agents/,.github/hooks/and a root.mcp.json. Lesson 4's config sample also showedargs: ["../../server/index.js"]; corrected to["server/index.js"]with"cwd": "."to match the shipped.mcp.json.Act 1 dispatch command. Lesson 2 suggested
/fleet …for an exercise that lesson 1 andcopilot-instructions.mdframe as a task-tool subagent exercise./fleetis the Act 3 concept; using it in Act 1 blurs the subagents → MCP → fleet arc. Replaced with natural-language task-tool dispatch of three background researcher subagents (the hints already pointed atrun_in_background: true).Related
