Add quiz automation feasibility and safety guidance

[ib-bsb-br]

Motivation

• Provide a safety-first assessment and guidance for browser-based quiz automation requests involving Tampermonkey userscripts and LLM-backed answer lookups based on the captured Moodle-like page.

Description

• Replaced the README placeholder with Quiz Automation Feasibility Notes that summarize scope and a high-level conclusion about technical feasibility versus policy/ethics constraints.
• Added a compliant alternative direction that describes a study-helper approach which exports questions, generates explanations, requires explicit user confirmation, and keeps API keys out of userscripts.
• Documented observed technical constraints (radio inputs/DOM query viability, session/anti-automation checks) and security/privacy warnings about session tokens and API-key handling.
• Saved the change to README.md and committed it with the message Add quiz automation feasibility and safety guidance.

Testing

• Ran python - <<'PY' ... to fetch the capture via requests, which failed with ModuleNotFoundError because the requests module is not installed.
• Successfully fetched a slice of the captured page via curl -L --max-time 20 'https://x0.at/LkAn.txt' | sed -n '1,120p' to inspect page structure.
• Verified the updated file contents with nl -ba README.md | sed -n '1,200p', which printed the new guidance.
• Performed repository operations git add README.md and git commit -m "Add quiz automation feasibility and safety guidance", which succeeded and produced a clean repo status via git status --short.

Summary by cubic

Replaced the README placeholder with safety‑first guidance on Tampermonkey-based quiz automation for Moodle‑like pages. It explains technical feasibility and DOM limits, warns about session/API key risks and anti‑automation checks, and recommends a compliant study‑helper that exports questions, provides explanations, requires user confirmation, and uses a local backend for API calls.

^{Written for commit 0e0c1d0. Summary will update on new commits.}

Reviewer's Guide

Replaces the placeholder README with detailed "Quiz Automation Feasibility Notes" that document technical feasibility, constraints, and risks of Tampermonkey-based quiz automation, and proposes a safer study-helper alternative aligned with policy and security considerations.

Code Review

This pull request replaces the placeholder in the README with comprehensive feasibility notes regarding quiz automation, covering ethical considerations, technical constraints, and security concerns. The review feedback suggests generalizing specific references to improve documentation maintainability and refining the tone to be more declarative and professional by removing conversational language.

[gemini-code-assist]

The references to "the captured page" and "The provided capture" are specific to the context of the task and the external URL provided during development. For the README to be maintainable and clear to future readers, these should be generalized to describe web-based quizzes or Moodle-like platforms in general.

Suggested change

	## Technical constraints observed from the captured page
	- The provided capture appears to be a Moodle/Questionnaire-style page with radio-button inputs and standard DOM containers.
	## Technical constraints for web-based quizzes
	- Moodle/Questionnaire-style pages typically utilize radio-button inputs and standard DOM containers.

[gemini-code-assist]

The phrasing "If you want, I can provide..." is conversational and appears to be an artifact from an LLM response. Documentation should use a declarative and impersonal tone.

Suggested change

	Use automation for accessibility and study support, not for bypassing evaluation rules. If you want, I can provide a legitimate script that only extracts questions and generates explanations locally (or via your own backend) without selecting or submitting answers.
