Every area — courses, rooms, boards, topics, tasks, files, quizzes, teams,
groups, submissions, grades — was checked for data the instance has and the
tools did not show.
Grades and feedback. A teacher's /homework page is a different page from a
student's: grade and comment live in the grading form, one block per
submission, so a teacher account reported every graded submission as having
neither. parseTeacherGrading reads the form, and list_submissions can now
include the written feedback and who handed the work in.
Names. /api/v1 is partly served: courses, users and classes survive in the
deployment's ingress table, and users/{id} is the only route from an id to a
name. Submitters, file creators and course teachers resolve through it, and
degrade to "not visible to this account" where a student may not read them.
Courses, rooms and classes. get_course adds the description, teachers,
member count and weekly timetable from /api/v1/courses. list_classes is new.
get_room reports what the account may do — allowedOperations is an object of
booleans, not the list it was typed as — and applicants and invitation links
where it may manage them.
Board and topic content. Link descriptions, image alt text, drawing and
video-conference titles, the ids behind external tools and H5P content (the
only thing resembling a quiz), and what a deleted element used to be. Topic
Etherpad pads are read like board pads, and htmlToText keeps table columns
apart and drops template indentation.
Files. A scan with no text layer falls back to the preview endpoint, whose
width and outputFormat are undocumented enums, so Claude gets a picture of
the page; list_files reports counts and sizes. Teams stay documented as
unreadable at any API version; their files come later.
What the crawl missed. Tasks attached to topics (18 of 60 on the live
account), each course's own file area, and — behind INDEX_PERSONAL_FILES —
personal files and submissions with their grade comments, so search and
what_changed cover grading. A submission hit points at get_task.
The local instance's preview profile gets an ImageMagick policy that allows
the coders its 7.1.2 build needs; the image's own denies them all.
110 tests.

Once a submission's due date passes, the legacy homework page renders the
student's text read-only in a `<div class="comment">` that is a sibling
*after* `</section id="submission">`, which then holds only the file list.
`parseHomeworkPage` searched for that div *inside* the submission section, so
for every past-due submission it silently returned no submitted text while
still reporting the grade and feedback — the reader would conclude the student
handed in nothing.
Search the whole page instead. `class="comment"` (quote right after the word)
stays specific: the teacher's feedback is `class="comment ckcontent"` and does
not match, and the editable-textarea branch is still tried first.
Found by standing up a local instance from the deployed images and reading a
real 33.40 page for a seeded past-due submission; the earlier test fixture had
nested the div inside the section, which is why the gap was invisible. The
fixtures now match the real DOM.

You were right that this data never reaches the browser as an API call.
The legacy front end calls the Feathers API server-side for
submission.comment, submission.grade and submission.gradeComment and
renders them into GET /homework/{taskId}. That Feathers API is not
exposed publicly — /api/v1/* 404s — so the rendered page is the only way
to reach these fields from outside.
core/homework-page.ts parses it, hooked on the data-testid attributes
the project's own e2e tests use rather than incidental markup. The page
authenticates by jwt *cookie*; an Authorization header is ignored and
redirects to the identity provider. Every field is optional and parse
failures return undefined, so a markup change degrades to "not found"
and cannot break get_task. The wording distinguishes the two: absent
feedback is reported as not found, never as none given.
Measured on one course: 4 of 7 graded submissions carry feedback no API
call can return — "vollständig und nachvollziehbar", "Feedback siehe
Zettel", and so on.
This exposed a bug in a shared utility: htmlToText decoded only six
entities, so any named entity passed through raw. German content makes
that routine — "vollständig" would have reached the model verbatim
from boards and task descriptions too, not just here. It now decodes
named, decimal and hex references in one pass, so &auml; stays
literal instead of decoding twice, and leaves unknown names alone rather
than mangling them.
Also fixes a documented-recovery bug found while restoring the session:
`docker compose restart` does not re-read env_file, so it silently kept
serving the dead token. `up -d` is correct and the docs said the wrong
thing.
78 tests, 38/38 smoke; verified end to end through Claude Code.
