How we advance pins

1. Run ./scripts/install-toolchain.sh (or update checkouts) against candidates.
2. source scripts/env.sh && ./scripts/build-all.sh
3. Record SHAs in this table and in the install script comments if needed.
4. Note upgrade steps in the commit message.

Course version vs toolchain pins

• Course version (VERSION / package.json / Changelog): curriculum revisions.
• Toolchain pins (this page): which libdragon/Tiny3D commits the course was verified against.

Bump the course version when pin changes require learner action (rebuild toolchain, broken APIs).
