Sources and resource verification

S1 was read in full for this expansion. Relevant S2 strategy, curriculum, offers and instrument sections were inspected. Historical artifacts were identified for precedence; this is not a line-by-line audit of every historical version or CSV company claim.

• The official ISLP site provides the Python edition and free PDF/course routes. Select relevant sections within the weekly budget.
• The official Karpathy course index lists micrograd and makemore lessons longer than a single one-hour AI study segment. Prepare excerpts and a bounded exercise, not a requirement to finish the full videos that week.
• Europe PMC API documentation documents article search and full-text retrieval. Europe PMC help explains that reuse remains subject to copyright/license terms; inspect each source's terms before release.
• arXiv endorsement documentation is the official route reference. Endorsement is distinct from scientific peer review and does not promise acceptance.
• JOSS submission guidance and its maintained source should be checked at week 36. Eligibility includes substantive research software, demonstrated use, open development and sustained public history; keep evidence from early releases. Submission is not acceptance.
• The OpenStax Biology 2e landing page was reachable but returned no extractable body in this check. Chapter availability/content must be verified during lesson preparation.
• The historical IndPenSim site could not be retrieved in this check. The author paper in UCL's repository is an author/institutional route to verify during week 2; dataset access, license, checksums and actual counts are still pending.
• The inherited bioRxiv submission page could not be retrieved in this check. Verify current submission portal, scope and policies before promising a venue; no blanket fallback eligibility is assumed.

These checks do not validate every lecture number, dataset link, company or hardware claim in the inherited plan.

Act I now carries an explicit, per-week materials file with exact locators, section-level scope, minute budgets and the artifact each source must produce. These replace the bare titles inherited from v5 and expand the v6 "Learn it" blocks:

Each file separates Read, Watch (YouTube) and Deeper (Saturday sandbox only), and every item is placed in a specific day block so the 600-minute weekly cap still holds. Weeks 05–40 keep the inherited locator catalog below until the same treatment is applied to them.

Entries below are inherited source locators to verify when preparing the relevant week. Match the concept/title if lecture numbering has changed. Do not invent exact timestamps or claim to have read inaccessible content.

For each selected resource in a prepared week, record exact title, author/provider, edition/date, URL, access date, chosen pages/sections or timestamps, and why it is needed for that week's deliverable. If inaccessible, choose a free authoritative substitute for the same objective and log the substitution.
