# Override Exercise Rubric

`PUT /teacher/exercises/{exercise_id}/rubric`

Teacher override. Refuses with 403 while the `rubric_editor_enabled`
runtime flag is off (EXC-530).

## Path parameters

- `exercise_id` string, required

## Request body

- RubricOverrideRequest
  - `questions` PutRubricQuestion[], required
    - `question_text` string, required
    - `criteria` string[]
    - `skill_savoir_faire_ids` string[], required
    - `points` number, nullable
    - `expected_result` string, nullable

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- RubricResponse — Minimal: drops `exercise_id` (lives in the URL) and `exercise_collection` / `created_at` (frontend doesn't read them today). `author` is flattened to a Literal to avoid leaking prompt ids / user ids. `scoring_scheme` is appended last and is derived, never stored — a new bundle reads it to decide which shape to render; an old one ignores it.
  - `id` string, required
  - `questions` RubricQuestionResponse[], required
