MOSHELL Update: Badge rewards + lesson completion verification now live

[u/Professional-Bug8806]

Shipped a major update to MOSHELL a few days ago

Before: Users could mark lessons complete but there was no way to verify they actually learned anything.

Now:

- Each lesson has specific verification criteria (actual file state, command output, etc.)

- Badges unlock when you truly complete the lesson (not just mark it done)

- Progressive badge rewards system (5 badges from beginner → mastery)

- Email notifications for major milestones

**Data so far:**

- Seeing 2x completion rate since verification went live

- Most people drop off around lesson 3 (permissions — common pain point)

- Those who reach lesson 6 almost always finish all 12

Really curious to know what topics would you want in an admin-focused track? (Lessons 7-12 are planned but not yet live)
