# TrainingQuestion

object type

A TrainingQuestion (🎓 — THE TRAINING PROGRAM, THE WIRE): ONE multiple-choice question of a course's bank — the prompt (at most 400 characters), 2..6 options (each at most 200 characters), correctIndex (0-based, below the options' count), the explanation shown after a sitting (at most 400 characters), the optional play step it tests and its source (drafted | written). THE STRICT SCHEMA: no unknown keys. active = in the draw · inactive = retired from the draw, kept · doomed. A course's bank holds at most 60 non-doomed questions (CONFLICT/TRAINING_CAP past it). courseKey is IMMUTABLE after birth. A submitted attempt is graded against ITS stored draw — a later edit here never re-grades it. NOT searchable (no filter roster until the face).
