- Add formal prerequisite section before the steps, satisfying the scaffolding rubric (curriculum-eval #2285) - Move the 'Verify you are on the right path' checklist into the new section so learners confirm account/Codespaces access before starting - Add a TIP callout about free-tier Codespaces hours - Trim VS Code desktop troubleshooting entry to a linked side quest, reducing concept count toward the ≤15 threshold Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

What was improved
Added a formal
## 📋 Before You Startsection toworkshop/02a-setup-codespace.md, the first hands-on step in the core workshop path.Learner pain point addressed
The step previously jumped straight into instructions without explicitly confirming what account access learners need. The prerequisite checklist existed but was buried under a plain-text label rather than a recognized rubric section, leaving learners to discover missing Codespaces access mid-task.
Changes
Before You Startsection with account/Codespaces prerequisites and a TIP callout about free-tier hoursWhy it helps workshop flow
Learners can now self-screen before starting, reducing mid-step failures. Addresses curriculum-eval issue #2285 (scaffolding score 5.0/10).
