Flask Session变量无法保留值问题求助

问题背景 #

开发的Flask答题程序核心功能：

• 从数据库获取随机题目
• 每完成3道题后，用户可选择「practice（练习模式）」或「random（随机模式）」
• 练习模式仅推送用户过往答错的题型（对应session中的incorrect_types数组）

当前异常：incorrect_types数组在用户答错题目时已正确追加题型，但GET请求时的DEBUG语句显示该数组为空。

问题根源 #

1. Session可变对象修改未触发持久化：Flask Session对列表这类可变对象的修改，默认不会自动检测变化。执行session['incorrect_types'].append()仅修改了列表内容，但Session未感知到变化，不会保存更新后的数据。
2. 模式选择时的不必要重置：选择practice/random模式时，代码执行session['incorrect_types'] = []清空了历史错误题型，导致练习模式无法获取有效数据。
3. 遗漏第二题错误记录：原代码仅处理第一题的错误，第二题的错题题型完全未被记录。

关键修改点 #

1. 手动触发Session更新：每次向incorrect_types追加元素后，添加session.modified = True，确保Flask感知到Session变化并持久化。
2. 移除错误题型重置：删除模式选择分支中的session['incorrect_types'] = []，保留历史错误数据供练习模式使用。
3. 补充第二题错误处理：新增第二题的答案判断和错误题型记录逻辑，确保所有错题都被追踪。
4. 完善结果消息：根据答对数量生成精准提示，并展示错题的正确答案。
5. 初始化practice_wrong：在Session初始化阶段添加practice_wrong的默认值，避免KeyError。
