This is such a lovely way of injecting a bit of chance into an otherwise dreary YAML
Conditional value injection, external influence. Who needs control logic when you've got a config file and just enough sugar to make it Turing complete

Y'all keep exploring the substrate and getting confused why it doesn't resolve.
The game is no fun if there aren't any constraints

I used to have coworkers stunned by how little i would look at my work before I ran it.
Make a change, commit and push. Trigger a build

That should do.
I'll play test it first and then fix rendering

This is intended to be the closing level of the first phase, which means of course it's a BOSS LEVEL!!@!
In this case, it's the idea that a shape can cycle back to itself. Somehow, the idea of a shape cycling through the start point to land later in the sequence is easier to digest than landing back on itself. Part of teaching process is teaching what change is sometimes required to occur in the first place.
The first pass through, we hadn't implemented constraints so the BOSS LEVEL!!@! turned out to be
Transform Blue Triangle into Blue Triangle
!!@!
Thus constraints were born, he must use at least one cycler - which means he must use all four
Now to make this into a true BOSS LEVEL <|:o(::)>
"""
The solution of course is to plan ahead, ensure enough room to recover from the transformation for the twists and turns life is sure to throw at you afterwards.

By now he should be used to the mechanics of the thing.
The identity arrows progress without transformation
The cyclers change the shape of the thing:
- colour : red > green > yellow > blue
- shape : cicle > square > triangle > star
By now we've learned about function, now it's time for composition.
How you construct something within the constraints is important. There are often hidden constraints in how a tool is used.
For example, a cycler is configured to pass through a sprout to its cardinally opposite edge.
[we teach our littles to RTFM at a young age in this house]
The guide says a Grower seeds in all directions and sprouts as a pass through. This precludes its use in the corners as shown below.
One must teach constraints before one can teach constraint based thinking.
We cannot being our journey until we have reached the a base camp of understanding.
