## canvas_mark_done(name)

Mark a planner item as done by clicking its completion checkbox on the Canvas dashboard. Call after completing an assignment so `canvas_next_item()` skips it on the next invocation.

```bash
browser-harness <<'PY'
import json
item = json.loads(canvas_next_item())
# ... complete the assignment ...
result = json.loads(canvas_mark_done(item["name"]))
print(result)  # {"ok": true, "found": true, "clicked": true}
PY
```

### Flow (internal)

1. Navigates to Canvas dashboard (if not already there)
2. Searches planner items for link text matching `name` (fuzzy, case-insensitive)
3. Finds the `input[data-testid="planner-item-completed-checkbox"]`
4. Clicks the label (CSS modules) or checkbox directly
5. Returns result

### Return (parse with json.loads)

**Success:**
```json
{"ok": true, "found": true, "clicked": true, "name": "..."}
```

**Already done (no-op):**
```json
{"ok": true, "found": true, "already_done": true, "name": "..."}
```

**Not found:**
```json
{"ok": false, "found": false, "searchedFor": "...", "itemsChecked": 5}
```

### Name matching

- Uses the `a[data-cid="Link"]` span text, stripped of "Assignment " prefix
- Case-insensitive substring match
- Works with the `name` field from `canvas_next_item()` result directly
