workshop/05-agentic-workflows-intro.md introduced ~26 concepts in 1,574 words at step 5 — well over the ≤15 concept / ≤800 word ceiling, predicting higher drop-off in subsequent steps per Sweller's Cognitive Load Theory.

Changes

  • workshop/05-agentic-workflows-intro.md — trimmed to 539 words covering only the three anchoring concepts: what an agentic workflow is, how it differs from standard Actions, and the trigger → agent → safe output structure. Adds a [!TIP] pointing to the new deep-dive side quest.

  • workshop/side-quest-05-02-aw-deep-dive.md (new) — relocates all evicted content without any factual loss: classification exercises (Tasks A–D), reflection prompt, example agent output, "Check your understanding" questions, two-file structure (.md + .lock.yml), concept-check vocabulary table, and self-check. Has its own ✅ Checkpoint.

  • workshop/README.md — adds the new side quest to the Optional Side Quests list under step 5.
