@kytrinyx pay no attention to my previous comment; in fact I deleted it because it was way off. I see the error of my ways now. |

An early design decision was to allow people to work on multiple solutions to the same exercise at the same time. We later decided not to do this, but the CLI still had logic that supported it. This caused us to (incorrectly) create exercise directories that were named with a numeric suffix, which would then get submitted to the backend server, which doesn't care about filepaths. Because the exercise with the numeric suffix doesn't match the expected path, we did not correctly trim off any leading directories on submit, which further caused the download command to put the solution in a weirdly and deeply nested directory, making the solution hard to find and review.
