vocab: stop re-teaching a word later in the same session (239 tags)
A word tagged VOCAB in one activity was tagged again in later activities of the
same session, so the learner got the same chip repeatedly — most visibly in the
pronunciation drills, which re-listed every word from the dialogue before them
(reported: book 7 session 1-2). Rule applied: drop a VOCAB whose word was
already tagged in an EARLIER activity of that session. Repeats INSIDE one
activity are kept — those teach distinct senses ('stuck to his finger' vs
'stuck the milk in the fridge', 'shop' as verb then noun). Also dropped chips
for plurals of already-known words in book 7 session 1-2, where the drill
teaches the singular/plural pair rather than new vocabulary. No session lost
all of its vocabulary (verified).
