MechaCat02 5ae2210459 Close the gaps an audit of courses, tasks, files and grades turned up
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.
