Skill · artefacts · Run an artefact repository
Proxy a public index and prove the cache still serves when the upstream becomes unreachable
Declare a remote source with its filters and download policy, sync, publish and distribute the cache, then point a client at it. Prove the cache by cutting the repository's outbound access and requiring an install that still succeeds, because a cache that serves while the source answers proves nothing.

Beyond the lessons
Assess, practise, pass the proof
Reading a lesson confirms nothing. A skill is confirmed by a passed quiz, practised in a guided lab, and put to the test by a challenge or a mission; an imported lab result is not verified by the site.
Assess yourself

Proof
No proof
A practical proof is a challenge, a capstone or a declared lab.
Used by the mission “Run a trusted artefact repository”, which has its proof.
