Field note
Riverpod overrides that survive workshops
2025-12-09 · Hector Ruiz
Workshops move fast. If state leaks between pairs, students debug ghosts. We built a tiny “graph snap” utility that dumps provider names and re-seeds defaults when a bell rings.
Instructors see a traffic-light board: green means graphs match the starter template, amber means intentional overrides for the exercise, red means pause and reset.
The pattern also doubles as an interview task—candidates explain how they would detect stale overrides in CI.
