fix(week11): clarify .env.example placeholder and add sslmode#8
Merged
Conversation
Rename the misleading `pipeline_user` placeholder to `your-pg-user`: students' actual Week 9/10 logins are their own names, and a student who keeps `pipeline_user` verbatim hits an auth failure. Also append `?sslmode=require` so the example matches what the README already instructs (line 69) and how Azure Postgres is meant to be reached. Neither change caused the reported "relation dev_<name>.fct_trips does not exist" error (that was a wrong database in a student's own .env), but both remove a foot-gun and keep the example self-consistent.

Situation
A Week 11 student (Streamlit dashboard) hit
relation "dev_<name>.fct_trips" does not exist. Investigation confirmed her marts existed and were readable; the real cause was a wrong database/host in her own.env, not the starter template. The template's.env.examplecorrectly points at/team1.Problem
While the template did not cause that specific error, two small foot-guns in
week11-streamlit/.env.exampleare worth removing:pipeline_user, which clashes with the comment "your Week 9/10 login" (students' actual logins are their own names, e.g.halyna). A student who keepspipeline_userverbatim gets an authentication failure.?sslmode=require, even though the README (line 69) explicitly tells students to setPOSTGRES_URLwith?sslmode=require. The example and the instructions should match.Solution
pipeline_user→your-pg-user.?sslmode=requireto the example URL.team1and thesslmodesuffix and only swap in their own user/password/host.No autograder dependency on the old string (checked
.hyf/), so grading is unaffected.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
