Acknowledge 'sentence unclear' feedback instead of closing silently - #175
Merged
Conversation
Submitting the "Is this English sentence confusing or unclear?" report previously just hid the modal: no confirmation, and no guidance on what to do next. Students were left wondering whether they still had to answer. A persistent note now appears under the question link telling them the feedback was recorded and to answer with their best-guess interpretation (role="status" so screen readers announce it). A failed submission now alerts the student instead of logging only to the console, which was indistinguishable from success. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

What changed
When a student reports an english-to-LTL sentence as confusing or unclear, the modal previously just closed on submit — no confirmation, no guidance. Students were left wondering whether the feedback went anywhere and whether they still had to answer.
role="status"so screen readers announce it when it appears (message is conveyed in text, no color-only signaling).Why
Student-reported UX gap: flagging a sentence as unclear gave no acknowledgment and no instruction to proceed, so the report felt like a dead end.
Notes for review
exercise.html; the JS guards on the ack element existing, so the modal remains safe to reuse elsewhere.
