Native question authoring follows the active catalog authority
Education exposes local question authoring only when catalog-mode=JAVA_READ; SCALAR_READ and other modes fail with an explicit business error before any database access. Tenant questions start as DRAFT, retain immutable content versions, are placed optimistically on an allowed Content Node, move only through DRAFT → PUBLISHED → ARCHIVED, and append an Education-owned lifecycle audit in the same transaction, because a local write under Scalar authority would be invisible to students and the platform's asynchronous operation log cannot prove atomic publication.
Question Placement has its own optimistic version, is available only to current-tenant TENANT_OWNED drafts, and becomes immutable at publication. Publication requires a stable active, visible, selectable PUBLIC or same-tenant Content Node. ARCHIVED is terminal for the current command surface, and RETIRED is not introduced until its distinct business and restoration semantics are decided. Direct question visibility follows the question's own publication state; entry, node, and collection state gates discovery through those routes rather than rewriting the question lifecycle.
