Pathways using Pre-requisite Steps (Direct) -- auto "awards"

Hi all! We're trying to clear up confusion on how to use the Prerequisite Step feature in a Badging Pathway and how it should work and/or we want it to work.
In the example below, there are 5 direct steps (one "thing" from Course A, B, C, D, E) and students have to complete 3 of the 5 Prerequisite steps in order to get the Badge (here, it's shown as a Milestone badge). When a Group of students are added to this Pathway, Credentials automatically shows the Direct Steps complete, awards the Milestone Badge (red AB) and then awards the Completion Badge (multi-color blue ribbon).

Question: How do we 'stop' this auto-completing? We don't see anywhere in Credentials or in how the Canvas integration works to set a Canvas assignment, Module, or Course Grade to a "Direct Step". We only see that badges can be connected. We don't want to have individual badges for Course A, B, C, D, E if we can help it, though for sure if we add badges then this Pathway works. We also don't see anywhere within Credentials where we can say, "this Direct Step is complete" to even do it manually.
Is it possible to use Direct Pre-requisites in this way or are we destined to use actual Badges that get awarded in each course?
Thank you for insight! The full context of this is that this is part of a larger Pathway leading to Fundamental, Intermediate, and Advanced "Completion" badges that will end up having some 4-5 dozen options for the Pre-requs over the course of the entire Pathway (i.e. 4-5 dozen toss-away pre-req badges and dozens of courses).
