This commit addresses two critical issues: 1. Completion Bug (activities 30-37): - Final steps were looping forever, preventing activity completion - Fixed by removing next_section_and_step from completion transitions - Kept off_topic transition looping to avoid validator terminal step errors - Activities now complete properly when users give valid final answers 2. Activity37 Bucket Logic: - Changed "close" bucket to retry same step instead of advancing - Only "correct" bucket now advances to next step - All other buckets (close, incomplete, wrong_language, etc.) retry - This ensures students must get correct answers to progress Technical Details: - Final steps are not considered "terminal" if at least one transition has next_section_and_step (validator requirement) - Off-topic transitions loop back to allow another attempt - Completion happens when get_next_step() returns None, None Validation: - All 8 activities pass activity_yaml_validator.py - No errors or warnings Affects: activity30-37 (all new merged activities)

- '**Why the forest and wetland matter:**'

- '**B) Build affordable housing** - Addresses housing shortage, but removes habitat and green benefits'
|
|
- '**C) Mixed-use development** - Preserve 30 acres as park, develop 20 acres with green building standards'
|

- '**D) Commercial development** - Shopping center, brings jobs and tax revenue, full removal of natural area'

- '## Challenge 5: Sustainable Food Systems 🌾'
|
|
- '**The Situation:**'
|
|
- 'River City imports 90% of its food from distant farms, which:'
|
|
- '- Requires energy for transportation (high carbon footprint)'
|
|
- '- Makes city vulnerable to supply disruptions'
|
|
- '- Disconnects residents from food sources'
|
|
- ''
|
|
- '**Environmental context:**'
|
|
- Food systems account for ~25% of global greenhouse gas emissions
|
|
- Agriculture uses 70% of freshwater globally
|
|
- Industrial farming often depletes soil and harms biodiversity
|
|
- ''
|
|
- '**Your options:**'
|
|
- '**A) Support local organic farms** - Lower transportation emissions, no pesticides, higher cost to consumers'
|
|
- '**B) Urban farming program** - Rooftop gardens, community gardens, very local but limited scale'
|
|
- '**C) Promote plant-based diets** - Meat production has 10-50x more emissions than plants, but culturally challenging'
|
|
- '**D) Reduce food waste** - 30-40% of food is wasted; composting and redistribution can help'
|
|
question: Which food sustainability strategy would you prioritize? Consider climate impact, feasibility, and food security.
|
|
tokens_for_ai: 'Evaluate their understanding of food system environmental impacts.
|
|
|
|

All options have merit! C (plant-based) has highest climate impact potential, D (waste reduction)

is high-impact and feasible, A and B support local food systems.
