Milestones vs modules

[sotoblanco]

I saw there are also milestones that require the use of the code the learner built in the previous modules. Is this currently automatically presented to the learner after finishing the required modules, or does the learner need to actively search to complete the milestone?

Great question! Yes, milestones are automatically surfaced to learners after completing the required modules. Here's how it works:

1. Automatic notifications: When you complete a module via tito module complete, the system automatically checks if any milestones are now unlocked and notifies you

2. Status display: Running tito module status shows a "🏆 Milestones Unlocked" section that displays:

   • ✅ Milestones you've already completed
   • 🎯 Milestones that are "Ready to unlock!" (prerequisites met but not yet run)

3. Explicit running: While discovery is automatic, learners still run milestones explicitly with tito milestone run <id> — this is intentional since milestones are capstone experiences meant to be approached deliberately

So learners don't need to actively search — the CLI proactively tells them what's available as they progress through modules.

Makes sense, thank you! This is really cool
