Summary

First PR in the part B stack for openedx#642 (base: #20, which holds the review, merge and testing instructions for the whole stack). Adds StudentCompetencyCriteriaStatus, a learner's current mastery status for one leaf criterion in a competency's criteria tree.

Test plan

  • tests/openedx_learning: 141 passed on SQLite with a test database built from scratch. CI runs the suite on MySQL 8.
  • Mutation check: temporarily switching criterion's on_delete to CASCADE made exactly the ten ProtectedError tests for the criterion fail. The change was reverted.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds StudentCompetencyCriteriaStatus to store learner status for individual criteria. It adds a migration and package exports, and tests the model’s constraints, status updates, and deletion behavior across the criteria hierarchy.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the mypy failure in the quality job.

The django-stubs mypy plugin resolves apps.get_model() calls that use string literals. HistoricalStudentCompetencyCriteriaStatus does not exist, and this test relies on that. The plugin therefore fails with Could not match lazy reference with any model [misc], and tox -e quality fails.

To fix this, pass the model name through a variable. The plugin then cannot resolve it statically. You can also add a scoped # type: ignore[misc].

🐛 Proposed fix
     assert not hasattr(StudentCompetencyCriteriaStatus, "history")
+    historical_model_name = "HistoricalStudentCompetencyCriteriaStatus"
     with pytest.raises(LookupError):
-        apps.get_model("openedx_learning", "HistoricalStudentCompetencyCriteriaStatus")
+        apps.get_model("openedx_learning", historical_model_name)

Deliberately unannotated: the user model is swappable, so this library must not
name a concrete one (edx-lint enforces that as `imported-auth-user`).

Go through this docstring. What information does a developer truly need? What is already explained in an ADR and doesn't need extra information here? How can we make this docstring one short paragraph that only contains informations that is critical to the developer when he looks at this file?

Looks good to me, though Codex found one bug. It was concerned that the ticket explicitly states we need the created and modified dates to be automatically set, but according to the comments (src/openedx_learning/applets/cbe/models/learner_status.py::7-8) this is intentional due to a limitation on the library and we'll set these 'manually', so we can ignore this.


Raw Codex Output:

Details Verdict: one blocking contract mismatch found.
  • [P1] Bug — timestamps do not satisfy the ticket. [learner_status.py:152-153](https://github.com/jesperhodge/openedx-core/pull/21/files) uses manual_date_time_field(), so created and modified are neither auto-populated nor updated automatically. A normal .objects.create(...) without timestamps fails with a database integrity error, while ticket openedx#642 explicitly requires auto_now_add=True and auto_now=True. The acceptance test only checks that the fields are DateTimeFields and always supplies timestamps, so it misses this behavior ([test lines 40-57](codex://review?pr=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fjesperhodge%2Fopenedx-core%2Fpull%2F21&path=tests%2Fopenedx_learning%2Fapplets%2Fcbe%2Ftest_criterion_status_acceptance.py&line=40&side=right)). Either implement the ticket’s timestamp contract or formally amend the ticket and add an explicit caller/API contract for manual timestamps.

No other actionable correctness, security, migration, FK, indexing, or test defects found in the submitted diff. I did not run the suite locally because the target repository is not checked out in this workspace; the PR metadata reports its targeted checks and SQLite/MySQL verification.

The django-stubs mypy plugin resolves apps.get_model() string literals
statically, so looking up a model that must not exist fails the quality
job. Scan the app's registered model names instead.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Shorten the learner_status module docstring to one paragraph that holds
only what the ADRs do not, and trim the user fixture and acceptance test
docstrings. Explain why the model accepts a lower status written over a
higher one. Remove the no-history and exact-columns tests, and make the
subtag delete test compare the tag count before and after the attempt.

Not really, it just restates the model definition. Removed it in openedx#854.

Done, it's StudentCompetencyCriterionStatus now, and I renamed its migration to match (openedx#854).
