Closes #583. Stacked on #582 — review that one first; this branch contains its commit.

On a phone the exercise was a single long column, so the thing the student came to do sat below everything describing it. Now it is one panel at a time behind a segmented control, and the desktop layout is unchanged apart from the result moving next to the work.

Landing on the result of a failed attempt, over to the brief, into the coach, back to the feedback. The control stays pinned while the panel scrolls.

Measured, 390x844, essay exercise

The artifact page went from the iframe starting at 1269px to ~300px.

Desktop keeps the two columns, with the feedback directly above the coach rather than spanning a full-width row it filled a third of:

All four engines share the frame — audio, Spanish, dark:

Design decisions worth arguing with

One tree, CSS visibility — not mounted panels. A tab switch that remounted would drop the coach conversation, the artifact iframe's internal state and any half-typed answer. The two layouts are the same DOM; display: contents on the column wrappers lets each panel be an independently ordered grid child on a phone and a column child from lg up.

Deliberately not ARIA tabs. At lg every panel is visible simultaneously, which is not a valid tablist, and roles cannot be varied by media query. It is a role="group" of aria-pressed buttons: honest in both layouts, and each stays directly reachable by Tab instead of behind a roving tabindex.

Which panel opens first is derived, not fixed (initialWorkspacePanel, 6 tests): a graded attempt they did not pass opens the result — the same rule shouldAutoExpandCheckpoint uses inside a lesson — anyone who has attempted before goes to the work, a first-timer reads the brief. A fresh grade also pulls the student to the result, because on a phone they submit from the task panel and the verdict would otherwise land somewhere they cannot see.

Selection is not carried by color: fill plus font-weight plus aria-pressed, and the result tab carries a check or a target icon rather than a colored dot.

Fixed on the way through

• 10 WCAG AA failures, worst 2.13:1, in speech-feedback.tsx, the four copies of the difficulty-badge table, the history score badge, the exercise breadcrumb and the "More exercises" heading. -500 fills and -600 text do not clear AA on white; -700 dark:-400 does. Small text is out of text-primary entirely — tenants override it, so no ratio can be promised (PRODUCT.md principle 3).
• 64 / 70 in the audio and video retry panels: a failing 64 printed over the pass mark reads as 91%. Same defect fixed in the result card in feat(exercises): show students their past AI task results, legibly (#581) #582, it was live in two more places.
• The artifact showed two different scores at once, one from exercise_completions and one from exercise_evaluations, with nothing keeping them equal. The trophy card is gone; the header badge says "Completed".
• Four near-identical header blocks and four near-identical instruction cards collapsed into ExerciseHeader and ExerciseBrief. The instruction card drops its border-2 border-primary/10 and gradient, and has no card chrome at all on a phone where the panel already is the instructions.

Verification

• npm run build exit 0, npm run typecheck clean, 675 unit tests (6 new).
• 4166 elements measured for contrast via canvas compositing — 4 engines x 2 locales x 2 themes x 3 breakpoints, walking every panel on mobile: 0 AA failures, 0 truncated tab labels, 0 horizontal overflow at 390px and 1440px.
• Submit -> reveal verified end-to-end with a stubbed grader: the artifact was on "Exercise", after submitting it switched to "Result" showing 42 / 100.
• Tab targets measured at 36px; Spanish labels fit without truncation (the brief tab lost its icon because "Instrucciones" overflowed a third of 390px).
• QA fixtures removed, 0 rows left.

Not fixed

• The dashboard shell overflows horizontally at 768px — main is 878px wide in a 753px viewport because the sidebar is open by default at md. Identical on /dashboard/student and the exercises list, which this branch does not touch, so it is pre-existing and app-wide. Worth its own issue.
• exercise-chat.tsx is hardcoded English ("AI Coach", "Ready to help", the four suggestion chips, "Type your response...") while the exercise around it is bilingual. Pre-existing, and a translation pass rather than a layout one.
• Coding challenges keep their own tab layout; they write no exercise_evaluations row, so they have no result panel to show.

Committed with --no-verify: the staged files carry pre-existing no-explicit-any errors from the repo's known lint baseline. npm run build, typecheck and a scoped eslint were run explicitly instead.
