Registration Automation Quickstart (Facilitator)

Use this when you need to enable registration with assignment-link automation quickly.

For full background and troubleshooting, use REGISTRATION-ADMIN.md.

5-Minute Setup

1. In repository settings, add variables:
   • CLASSROOM_DAY1_ASSIGNMENT_URL
   • CLASSROOM_DAY2_ASSIGNMENT_URL
2. Save all values.
3. Submit one test registration issue from a test account.

Copy/Paste Settings Template

Use this checklist while entering repository settings values.

Repository Variables

Name	Value to paste
CLASSROOM_DAY1_ASSIGNMENT_URL	https://classroom.github.com/a/REPLACE_DAY1_ID
CLASSROOM_DAY2_ASSIGNMENT_URL	https://classroom.github.com/a/REPLACE_DAY2_ID

Before You Save

• Confirm there are no extra spaces before or after values.
• Confirm both assignment URLs open correctly in a logged-in browser.

Expected Result (Happy Path)

After the test issue is opened and capacity is available:

1. Registration confirmation comment is posted.
2. Day 1 and Day 2 assignment links appear in the confirmation comment.
3. registration label is applied.

Fast Verification Checklist

• Confirmation comment includes assignment links
• Duplicate submission closes automatically with duplicate message
• Waitlist behavior still works when capacity is full
• Student can reply ack, then day1-complete, and receive Day 2 release comment

Rollback (Immediate)

If anything behaves unexpectedly, disable assignment-link posting without stopping registration:

1. Clear CLASSROOM_DAY1_ASSIGNMENT_URL, or
2. Clear CLASSROOM_DAY2_ASSIGNMENT_URL

The registration workflow will continue standard confirmation, capacity checks, and CSV export.

Full Support Reset (When Needed)

If support environment drift is detected, rebuild support hub baseline:

scripts/classroom/Reset-SupportHubEnvironment.ps1

Day-Of Operations

1. Keep REGISTRATION-ADMIN.md open.
2. Watch Actions runs for registration.yml after each new registration.
3. Spot-check one confirmation comment every few runs.
4. If failures appear, use rollback and continue manual assignment link sharing.

Privacy Reminder

• Registration issues are public in this repository.
• CSV export includes names and email addresses and is stored as a workflow artifact.
• student-roster.json sync stores non-PII operational data only.
