Fix pedagogical issue: Don't show code examples before asking students to write code 
PROBLEM: activity37 was showing complete code examples in Python, JavaScript,
Java, and C++ BEFORE asking students to write code themselves. This turns
learning into copy-paste practice.

FIXED:
- Hello World section: Removed multi-language code examples from content_blocks
- Variables section: Removed multi-language code examples from content_blocks
- Now explains CONCEPTS (what, why, how languages differ) without showing syntax
- Code examples remain in AI feedback for when students struggle or ask for help

PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH:
1. Explain the concept (stdout, variables, etc.)
2. Explain language differences conceptually (dynamic vs static typing)
3. Ask students to TRY writing code in THEIR language
4. Provide language-specific examples in AI FEEDBACK if they struggle

This way students actually have to THINK and LEARN, not just copy.

UPDATED CLAUDE.md:
- Added new pitfall: "Showing answers before questions"
- Guidance: Explain concepts in content_blocks, provide code examples in ai_feedback

Still validates perfectly with zero errors/warnings.
