**Prepared sessions.** Most of this existed: unanswered first, weakest topic
next, wrong-before-right after that, all scaled by what share of the real paper
each topic carries. What it could not do was change with time, say anything
about itself, or be reached without filling in a form.
Evidence now decays on a thirty-day half-life. Exponential rather than a fixed
window because memory has a slope, not a cliff — under a window, 29 days counts
fully and 31 counts for nothing — and because it is memoryless, so an answer's
weight does not shift when unrelated questions are answered, which is what lets
the preview stay a valid forecast. Spring is worth an eighth of last week. Two
things decay: a question's recall probability, drifting towards even rather
than past it, so an old right answer becomes eligible rather than wrong; and a
topic's accuracy, against a prior of two "no idea" answers, which fixes "right
once, known forever".
Strict unanswered-first meant that on a bank of 2,900 nothing was ever
recycled — spaced repetition existed and was unreachable. Review now takes up
to two fifths of a session. And the damping that spread the picks across topics
was applied only to seen material, so a learner with no history was handed the
heaviest domain entire instead of a spread; that was live.
The plan is the product. It is computed, shown, and then the session is built
from that plan's own ids and the plan returned with it, so the two cannot
differ; every figure in it is a tally over the chosen questions rather than a
forecast. No model touches the ranking — a learner asking "why these twenty"
has to get the same answer twice.
**Vision.** The proxy's own `/model/info` says which models can see, so nothing
is hard-coded: 77 report yes, 11 no, and 328 say nothing at all, which means
absent rather than incapable — so those are asked once with an 8px PNG and the
refusal cached. The deployment's main model turns out not to see, and questions
carry figures the learner is looking at, so the tutor was answering about an
image it had never been shown. It routes to a configured tool model now, folds
the description back in as text saying plainly where it came from, and caches
on the bytes because the same figure is re-sent every turn.
Also fixed on the way: `article` was missing from the admin's task list, so
article drafting always ran on the fallback model whatever an administrator
chose; and `.jpx` stem images were sent as JPEG because `mimetypes` guesses
that from the name, so the provider rejected them two hops later.
An administrator must pick a tool model in Settings → AI models. Until then the
tutor says a figure exists that nothing could read, rather than describing one
it cannot see.

Quiz management area (AMBOSS parity, verified against next.amboss.com):
- GET /quizzes/sessions returns one management row per accessible quiz —
attempt state, live answered/total from Redis, last score and activity —
so the page no longer fans out per-quiz requests.
- QuizzesPage rebuilt as a session list grouped by day with a progress bar,
a state-aware primary action (Start / Resume / Review) and an action menu
matching AMBOSS: Analysis, Repeat, Rename, Share, Edit, Category, Delete.
Rename and delete confirm inline; no browser popups.
- Sessions / Library / Categories tabs replace the flat card grid.
- QuizPage honours ?restart=1 so Repeat always begins a fresh attempt.
Question manager (new moderator page at /questions/manage):
- GET /questions/manage/summary counts editorial gaps; /questions/bank gains
a `needs` filter (category / explanation / difficulty / private) so the
health tiles double as one-click filters.
- POST /questions/bulk applies category, difficulty, sharing or delete to up
to 500 checked questions in one call, moderator-only.
- Question edit/create modals extracted to components/QuestionEditors.jsx and
shared by the question bank and the manager instead of being duplicated.
Showcase articles:
- scripts/seed_showcase_articles.py seeds eight short starter articles across
the main pediatric systems, each filed under a real category, with stable
hex section IDs and links to bank questions from the same category.
Mobile: dedicated stylesheets for both pages — rows stack, the action menu
becomes a bottom sheet and the bulk bar docks to the bottom edge.
Tests: 9 new backend tests (session feed states, ordering, Redis-outage
degradation, visibility; bulk actions, gap filters, moderator gate) and 9 new
frontend tests. Full suites green: 72 backend, 106 frontend, build clean.
