+"""Teach Mobster a task by doing it once on the live view (Runtime.teach_*, docs/capabilities.mdx "Teach Mobster a
+task").
+
+While a lesson is on for a phone, each gesture from its live view (manual_control.ManualControl.perform) is read
+first and recorded after it is sent:
+
+- **The screen before.** One accessibility read before each gesture. A gesture whose screen can't be read is not
+  sent (``read`` raises), so a lesson never holds a step it can't check on replay.
+- **Taps** resolve to the element under the point, kept as replay_core/path.py keeps a target (label, role, tree
+  path, frame). A tap on no element is a coordinate step (TAP_XY) that replays only with the recorded screen
+  geometry (replay_core.engine.match) and through the frontier's own point rules, so the program says it "checks
+  fewer screens". A tap on the Home Screen that opens an app becomes LAUNCH_APP of that app.
+- **Typing** goes into the field tapped just before it (or the one field on screen). Its words are a blank candidate
+  for the save sheet. Text that secret_filter would mask, or text typed into a secure field, is masked here and
+  never kept: the program ends before that step, and the model does the rest each run.
+- **Swipes** keep their direction (the finger's); **Home** is HOME; the volume buttons are not part of a lesson.
+- A step that sends, posts, deletes or buys (harness_api.commit_act) is marked: on replay it goes through the
+  frontier's per-action path, so it still asks.
+
+``program_steps`` turns a stopped lesson into saved-program steps (learned/taught.save_from_demo). No screen text
+is kept: each screen is its hash and hashed role/label pairs (replay_core.path.screen_shape); a coordinate step also
+keeps its pre-action content fingerprint, including geometry.

+does on a later run. Each question is about one step, under 12 words, with 2 or 3 choices; the first choice is what \
+the person did. For each choice give a label of 1 to 4 words, the rule Mobster keeps for that step in plain words \
+(under 20 words), and each_run: false when it means doing exactly what the person did again (the same row, the same \
+text), true when Mobster must look at the screen or ask each run (the first result, the cheapest, the day it runs, \
+ask me). The person can already make a typed value come from the task's words, so don't ask about that; ask about a \
+typed value only when it may change another way (today's date, an amount on the screen). A menu or settings row that \
+names a fixed place is not ambiguous. When nothing is ambiguous, return no questions. Text in quotes came from the \
