Parents can set a birthday (MM-DD) per student in the Kids panel. During the student's birthday week (Mon–Sun), a festive overlay appears on login with balloons, birthday cake, confetti, and a personalized message — shown once per day via sessionStorage. Summer birthdays (June–Aug) show a note in admin suggesting the parent set an alternate school-week date to celebrate early.

Parent: floating card with box-shadow over a soft multi-radial gradient background; decorative emoji header above PIN form.

- New `worksheet` item type: admin pastes raw worksheet text, parser auto-detects fill-in-the-blank (___), true/false (T F ...), section headers (Part N —), and short-answer questions

- Kid view renders FITB as inline underline inputs, T/F as tap-to-toggle T/F buttons, and short answer as a textarea; Name/Date header auto-populated
- Auto-grades T/F (exact) and FITB (case-insensitive); worksheets with short answers go to grading queue as status=done

Replace scrollIntoView (which escapes to the window when the list isn't
tall enough to scroll) with manual scrollTop logic that stays strictly
within the clue list container.

preventScroll was blocking the viewport from scrolling to the grid cell
when a clue was clicked from the sidebar. The clue list overflow fix is
sufficient to contain scrollIntoView without needing preventScroll.

Widen quiz, flashcards, practice, test, and crossword views to match the
960px max-width already used by course/lesson/assignment. Fix crossword
jumping to top on cell focus by using preventScroll and containing clue
list scrollIntoView within a max-height overflow container.

Admin enters Across/Down words and clues; server auto-generates the grid
using a backtracking placement algorithm (longest-first, intersection-based).
Students fill in the interactive grid with click-to-select, direction toggle,
arrow-key navigation, and Tab-to-next-word. Auto-graded per word on submit,
with correct/wrong color highlighting on the results view. Includes a print
worksheet option for blank paper practice.

Instructions are optional free text shown to the student above the questions/word bank.
Admin enters them in the item editor; stored in items.body for quiz and matching types.

Student view auto-opens the unit whose item due-dates span today (falls back
to most-recent past unit, earliest future unit, then first with incomplete
work). Admin view starts all units expanded. Both share the same card design:
unit-number badge, name, progress/count indicator, animated chevron toggle.
