Module 1.3: Teaching script references non-existent REFERENCE_GUIDE.md in image exercise

[michellehirsch]

Bug

Related to #34 — adding detailed analysis and suggested fix.

The Module 1.3 teaching script (course-materials/lesson-modules/1-fundamentals/1.3-first-tasks/CLAUDE.md) references a file called REFERENCE_GUIDE.md in Step 5 (Scenario 4 - Design Feedback with Images):

1. Open REFERENCE_GUIDE.md in your editor (it's in this same exercise folder)
2. Scroll down to the "Example UI to Try" section (around line 177)
3. You'll see a screenshot of a user interface

Problem: REFERENCE_GUIDE.md does not exist in the 1.3-first-tasks/ folder.

What does exist:

• attachments/ui-mockup-example.png — the actual screenshot image

Impact: Students following the image-paste exercise hit a dead end because the referenced file isn't there. This breaks the flow of learning Ctrl+V image pasting.

Suggested fix: Either:

1. Create REFERENCE_GUIDE.md with an embedded reference to attachments/ui-mockup-example.png, or
2. Update the teaching script to direct students to attachments/ui-mockup-example.png directly

Adding to this - the course readme says every module has a REFERENCE_GUIDE.md to review asynchronously, but these don't exist.

Ran into this same issue.

Workaround: Claude was able to work around the missing file (when I asked) by prompting me to add a different image. Finding this bug report meant I could pull the relevant file and jump back into the flow of the tutorial pretty easily.
