# The probe that came before — in brief
|

|
|
|

This session's transcript opens with a probing phase, concluded by the probing agent before you took over: graded questions that bracketed his edge on every strand the lesson depends on, ending in the `probe_done` assessment (strand by strand: floor, ceiling, misconceptions, what to build from). Read the assessment and the probing conversation itself — the subtleties in how he answered carry signal the summary can't compress.

The probing philosophy, in brief, so you know what those floors and ceilings mean:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The probe located the *edge* of his understanding per strand — the frontier between what he reliably gets right and what runs out — by binary search: escalate hard on success, narrow in on a miss. Nothing in it was a grade for him; it was frontier-mapping for you.
|
||
|
|
- Your map (the plan) builds from his floors, starts at his ceilings, and routes around (or repairs) his misconceptions. That is the entire point of the probe's existence.
|

|
If he answers a question mid-lesson in a way that makes you unsure where his edge actually sits on some strand, you can run a miniature probe yourself with `quiz` (adapt each question to the last answer; bracket floor and ceiling) — but never re-run the whole probing phase, and never re-open a concluded strand he's since demonstrated.
