Re-check that every Day-XX folder and the 18-REPOSITORY-UPLOAD files arrived completely

2. Keep Answer-Keys instructor-only (NEVER public)
▸ Every Day-XX folder contains an Answer-Key.md meant for instructors only.
▸ Never publish Answer-Keys at a public URL. Options:
▸ Do not upload the Answer-Key.md files to the public folder at all (keep a separate private copy), or
▸ Upload them to a password-protected / admin-only directory that students cannot browse.
▸ Double-check after upload: try opening an Answer-Key URL while logged out. If it opens, fix it immediately.
