Adapt the bounded probe-completion foundation from PR #130 by aksalatdev (source commit 535202bebe038fa1e0648f5df809d5ccfc26d071), not its mixed stream-salvage implementation.
Require a non-failed call followed by a matching probe_done result with neither isError nor explicit details.ok:false. Preserve older clean acknowledgments, saved attempts, and all existing handoff/retry/provider policies. Share the native completion seam with phase detection and exclude explicit refusals from UI phases.
Verify retained failed-probe Retry recovery with real agent/tool composition and synthetic engines: one fresh conclusion, one handoff, then teacher selection, without stored-tool replay. Focused tests 58/58; full tests 2473/2473; typecheck and full ESLint pass in isolated storage with scrubbed provider credentials.

The hand-packed icns was pixel-clean (verified by unpacking and scanning
every size), but macOS 26 composites legacy .icns icons into the Liquid
Glass system at render time; stacked on Icon Composer's baked PNG-export
lighting, that clips the rim highlights into the near-corner specks and
abrupt highlight ends (owner report 2026-10-13). The fix is the real
layered icon: mac.icon now points at the Icon Composer document
(build/icon.icon, copied from ~/Documents/Affinity/lh-logo) and
electron-builder compiles it via actool into Assets.car — macOS 26+
renders the true Liquid Glass design (dark/tinted variants included).
actool's backwards-compat icns caps at 256px, so scripts/after-pack.cjs
swaps in the existing full-res build/icon.icns before signing: pre-Tahoe
macOS keeps today's quality, Tahoe gets the layered icon.
Windows/Linux get the owner's flat design (rounded squircle with baked
transparency): scripts/make-icons.mjs renders build/icon-flat.svg via
resvg into build/icon.ico (16→256 PNG entries) + build/icon.png (512),
and electron-builder.yml pins win.icon/linux.icon.
desktop:dist injects DEVELOPER_DIR (actool needs Xcode; the machine
selects CommandLineTools by default, CI's setup-xcode takes precedence
via the :- default). The release workflow's mac job selects Xcode 26+
explicitly. Verified locally: mac --dir build (Assets.car + checksummed
full-res fallback + CFBundleIconName/IconFile) and the win-unpacked exe
carries our ico bytes; NSIS/AppImage assembly is CI's (cross-build
tooling can't run on arm64 macOS). Runbook updated. 1610/1610.
- switch the math authoring/rendering contract from \(...\)/\[...\] to the
standard $...$ inline / $$...$$ display: prompts (20-question-tools,
40-formatting), singleDollarTextMath on the renderer, legacy reader kept,
and escape-debris recovery extended to dollar spans (mirroring micromark
delimiter-run rules)
- exact answer membership now precedes debris cleanup in
coerceCorrectAnswer (calculus incident: an exact sentence-final-period
label was stripped as model debris, then rejected); option keys are
passed at the boundary/grading seams, the dock no longer pre-coerces
- a complete, phase-correct JSON-escaping example rides the probe/quiz
tool descriptions (serialized from one canonical body; quiz leads with
type+nodeId), plus the one-sentence JSON-escaping rule in 40-formatting
- ask option descriptions render markdown/LaTeX in the pending dock;
settled cards keep the details line and option descriptions
retroactively, read from the persisted call arguments (chat passes
part.input to AnsweredCard)
1566/1566 tests on both navigator configs; typecheck, lint, production
build, standalone packaging, and Electron-runtime smoke all green.
Chat records gain version (CURRENT_CHAT_VERSION), stamped by a single
writeChat choke point in the store; absence reads as v1 — existing files
migrate on their next write, no mass rewrite. The graph family (four JSONL
ledgers, sources.json, render-settings.json) shares one lazy sidecar,
graph/format.json; positions stays unstamped (rebuildable) and jobs stay
unstamped (transient).
Downgrade scenario ruled honest-refusal: records stamped newer than the
running build read as absent (chats, logged) or throw (graph family) — a
read-modify-write store never rewrites what it doesn't understand.
Golden fixtures stay the unstamped legacy shape on purpose (lazy v1 is
current-valid by design); the stamped write path is pinned by
tests/schema-stamps.test.ts. Reads never write — the golden byte-identical
pin holds.
Owner-manufactured teach master (chat_mv27rrra: compaction, subagent-abort,
every teach tool) + practice lifecycle (chat_mv293wv5: the full marker cycle
including the first-ever problem-dismissed), the real graph ledgers, five
jobs across the kind x status matrix, and settings. tests/golden-fixtures
reads all of it through the stores via the LH_DATA_DIR seam and pins the
fixture law: real data parses, flattens to a legal LLM wire, derives the
graph, covers every custom-marker kind, and reads never write.
Fixture law: an intentional format change updates these files in the same
commit; an unintentional one fails the suite.
The README becomes the storefront for the public repo — what it is, why
it exists, BYOK/local/inspectable values, download, quick start —
written from the canonical articulation (owner doc, 2026-10-05): the
dependency structure of understanding, measure-first teaching, one
reasoning step at a time, the accumulating world model. All developer
content (commands, env, architecture, mechanisms, testing, lineage)
moves verbatim to docs/development.md (stale suite count and a private
machine path dropped on the way).
Owner will edit before the release; this is the base coat.
- LICENSE: AGPL-3.0-only (holder Amos Blomqvist), package.json gains "license".
- Product/package name unified: package.json "name" is now "learnharness"
(matches the GitHub repo); electron-builder productName/appId already
were LearnHarness/com.learnharness.LearnHarness.
- Deterministic userData: app.setName("LearnHarness") early in main.cjs
— Application Support dir is exactly "LearnHarness" in dev and
packaged runs (packaged Electron would otherwise derive it from the
package name). Dev shell becomes "LearnHarness-dev". Pre-release
rename: zero external users, no migration code; the local test dir
was moved by hand.
- docs/ diet: nine vision-*.md splinters, the completed pi-ai migration
plan, and research/ notes leave the tree (retained privately in the
git-ignored memory; full history stays in git). Public docs remain:
architecture, vision, plan, probe-teach-split, pi-engine-swap,
keyboard, teaching-methodology (+ release-0.3 until the ship).
Gates: 1489/1489, typecheck, lint.
Plan canvas (owner report: arrows clipped at the viewBox edge in dist —
measured 14px/20px cuts in the owner's real plans): blockLayout now
unions node boxes with every edge path's control-point hull (a bezier
never leaves it; the layout calls edgePathD with the renderer's exact
inputs). Dagre's node extent stays the floor, so ordinary plans render
byte-identical; the viewBox origin shifts only when ink bulges past
zero. Verified on both real chats; pins use the owner's real
linear-algebra tree (golden-real-data).
Keyboard-first (owner's law: Enter always submits, arrows always cycle;
text fields the only exception):
- Enter guard split (enter-submits): a focused BUTTON keeps native
Enter only when keyboard-walked (:focus-visible) or inside an open
overlay (menus/dialogs); pointer-clicked transcript buttons submit,
preventDefault suppressing the re-activation underneath.
- Focus hygiene (focus-hygiene): pointer clicks on transient controls
(agent/user thinking toggles, copy, mermaid expand, plan chip) blur
to body — the state clicking empty space produces.
- Session search owns the walk: Up/Down wrap-cycle the filtered rows,
Enter opens the walked row or the first match (quick-open), then
blurs and keeps the query. The Alt-arrow session cycle is RETIRED.
- Registry: model-menu walk/pick entries removed (obvious in-field
navigation, not settings material); question-dock keys stay
displayOnly per owner ruling.
Gates: 1489/1489, typecheck, lint. Verified live end-to-end.
Vision-assessment records the 2026-10-06 thinking round: propositions as
the unit, forecast semantics (mastery = P(correct unaided retrieval)), the
Beta-with-decay estimator (BKT rejected: binary-only, guess-less, never
forgets, unidentifiable at our volume; the weighted average completed with
prior + recency + uncertainty), the e-table over outcome x rung x missClass,
uniform 1/k credit (optional missed-field upgrade unruled), no new outcome
enum values, PRACTICE-ONLY perimeter (ruled — quiz nodes are session-scoped
plan objects, no honest mapping), mastery computed-on-read over the already
durable problem/conclude calls (no stored ledger, graph untouched).
Release-0.3 captures the owner's polish brain-dump (graph rendering toggle
separate from extraction + open home-view question, question keybinds/VIM,
session naming, markdown + graph exports, graph defaults, compaction dialog
Esc law, keyboard audit) and the schema-lock position with the persistent
surface inventory and pre-release gap list (schemaVersion stamps, pi-ai
pins).
Owner live-test verdict on the spine (2026-09-30): no perceptible gain —
the real problems (restatement nodes, shallow re-derivations, same
conclusion from many angles) are mint-time issues a post-hoc chain
minter cannot fix. This arc moves assembly INTO the extractor and adds
the deterministic dedupe the owner specified:
- Digest-aware extraction: each stretch's extractor prompt carries THE
GRAPH SO FAR (its own source's merged propositions + chains, ids
verbatim); build on existing ids instead of restating, lean on
established conclusions as premises. Mixed-namespace chain endpoints
(fresh p-ids OR existing n_-ids) validated at the submit seam.
- Serialized per source: a source's batches/chunks run strictly in
order (each extract reads every earlier merge); cross-source runs
stay parallel; source-wide abort stops the loop. The spine stage,
role, phase, usage stage, cost row, and setup roster are gone.
- Core-ideas prompt: goal reframed as uncovering core ideas and showing
how everything derives from the foundations; direction upward, prefer
lean derivations, never re-derive what the graph already holds.
- Chain simplification (merger maintenance): simplifyChains drops
provably redundant chains at every merge — prefer-fewest-premises +
ancestry-cover ([A,B]⟹X with [X,C]⟹Y covers [A,B,C]⟹Y, transitive);
same-key provenance lines drop together; rewriteLedgers under the
audit lock; droppedChains counted separately in stats.
Chunk budget stays 8192 (owner: keep for now, maybe lower later).
Per-batch pipeline is now extract → spine → audit → merge (owner order,
2026-09-30), the spine inside the serialized audit section so it reads
the graph exactly as the following audit will. Measured motive: 0 of 133
chains in the live corpus crossed a stretch boundary — no stage minted
cross-stretch chains.
- src/agent/subagents/spine.ts: SESSION/NOTES spine preambles + shared
SPINE_CORE (span doctrine; extraction doctrines carried over), the
submit_spine TypeBox schema, validateSpine (mechanical span law: every
chain touches >=1 fresh endpoint AND >=1 existing digest endpoint;
unknown ids, self-reference, and id collisions are loud), the digest
prompt builder, and the runner (strong tier, retry-only).
- extraction.ts: 'assembling' phase, spine stage in the per-need gate,
usage/billing stage, assemble() inside withAuditLock for both front
doors; first stretch of a source skips the call (empty digest, no
spend); the audit sees COMBINED propositions (chunk + connectives),
never chains; merger receives the combined findings.
- core/graph.ts mergeFindings: chain endpoints resolve through the
job-local map OR pass through verbatim as existing n_ ids (the spine's
mixed namespace).
- EXTRACTION_CORE: steps-of-reasoning selection bar (examples, notation
glosses, and restatements that no argument needs are not steps).
- Factory chunk budget 4096 -> 8192 (fewer seams, more local context).
- healStringifiedArrays moved to the shared submit seam (submit-agent.ts).
- Cost panel: Assembly row; usage records carry a spine stage (optional
on legacy records).
- Tests +5: prompt pins, span-law matrix, digest rendering, seeded
end-to-end flow (spanning chain + connective, verbatim n_ endpoint,
spine billed as its own stage), non-spanning refused + retried.
- architecture.md section 6 rewritten: stored truth = propositions + chains
(chains.jsonl); deriveView as the lossy image (implication nodes +
untyped arrows, rebuilt per read); the bijection framing (independent
arguments for one conclusion stay distinct — the corruption the edge
store invited); new deletion-semantics paragraph (proposition death
cascades to every referencing chain; arg_ death = one argument);
supports retirement stated plainly; auditor's propositions-only scope;
clusters stated as birth-session partition truth (no Louvain claim)
- section 7 practice chain model: stored-chains inclusion law replaces
follows-edge grouping; chainsToGraph bijection claim deleted
- README: graph clauses (stored chains, derived view, chain dedupe),
practice clause, ledger inventory, and two long-stale line-5 claims
(ledger events, semantic top-K) corrected
- contracts/graph.ts GraphSnapshot comment: Louvain claim replaced with
birth-session truth; extraction.ts comments no longer narrate the
dead expandFindings/chainsToEdges seam
'A → B → C' misread as chained implication when A and B are
CO-premises. The honest shape (owner, 2026-09-30): premises join
with the LaTeX LAND (∧), the conclusion separates by the LaTeX
IMPLICATION (⟹) — A ∧ B ⟹ C.
The glyphs are REAL KaTeX renders — components/latex-glyph.tsx wraps
katex.renderToString (cached per command; the app's math engine, the
stylesheet already rides app-wide from app/layout.tsx). No SVGs, no
font-dependent unicode. PROMINENT in the theme foreground (white in
the dark theme) per the owner's same-round ruling — the logic is the
payload, not the old dim gray. A lonely chip carries no glyph (it
reads as a standalone proposition); the plain-text '→' survives only
in the row's aria-label (formatChainLine, the screen-reader form).
Owner 2026-09-30: the confirm dialog's pre-flight impact read had to
go — what full death takes is obvious, the per-open fetch flickered,
and richer facts would only confuse as deletion semantics evolve
(rewiring is on the table). The screen is now: Delete node? / Delete
N nodes?, the names in the mono block, one permanence line, Cancel /
Delete. No loading state, no gone state (a 404 mid-run lands in the
honest failure line), no sessions join — the joins prop died too.
The dead path is deleted end to end: GET /api/graph/nodes/[id],
graphNodeImpact (server), nodeDeletionImpact (core) and their tests.
WORDING: node/node(s) is THE UI word for graph objects, standardized
across every surface's copy (owner, same ruling): the dialog titles,
the chain table's counts/search/summary/delete aria-labels, the
practice dialog's cluster counts, selection line, and empty-cluster
hint. Internal identifiers (selection.propositions) unchanged.
Rewritten dialog pins (tests/delete-node-dialog.test.tsx): minimal
contract — no facts/loading/fetch copy, singular/plural titles, the
cap, 409 dock phrasing, busy states, no 'proposition' left in the
dialog.
"This is really the view deletion should be done in" — the chain table
becomes the graph's MANAGEMENT surface. The floating selection bar
gains Delete FENCED at its right end (owner-approved placement): a
divider quarantines the destructive action from Clear and Generate,
red destructive pair + trash icon, opening the SAME full-death confirm
dialog the canvas uses.
DeleteNodeDialog extended from one node to an array:
- one node renders exactly as always; many pluralize the title
(Delete N propositions?) and list the names in the mono block,
capped at 8 + 'and K more'
- the pre-flight impact read aggregates: summed edge counts, unioned
referencing sessions (deduped, first-seen order); all-404 = gone
- confirm runs the per-node DELETEs SEQUENTIALLY — a failure stops
the run (extraction_running is never plowed through); onDeleted
now carries every id that actually died
- the chain table prunes its selection on delete and announces
lh:graph-revision so the snapshot refetches
Drift fix found en route (surfaced as NaN in the aggregated facts):
the server's NodeDeletionImpact has been {edges, sessions} only since
the quiz-events ledger died in the practice-arc schema slim — the
dialog kept rendering quizEvents/observations as undefined. The dead
fact lines are removed; the dialog now shows exactly what the server
can honestly report.
The chains-overlay TopBar had dead drag zones (counts, around search,
close gap) — cause: app-region subtraction resolves by DOM ORDER, not
z-index; the graph chrome's lh-no-drag column came later in the DOM and
punched holes through the overlay's drag band despite sitting visually
underneath (z-40 vs z-10).
Two laws, per the owner's standardization ruling:
- AUTO CARVE-OUT (globals.css): inside any .lh-drag band, every native
interactive element (button/input/textarea/select/a/summary/
[contenteditable]) is automatically a no-drag island — draggable
anywhere that is not a clickable element becomes structural. Manual
lh-no-drag is only for clickable non-natives.
- THE OVERLAY DOM LAW: a surface containing a TopBar that covers other
content must be the LAST child of its container — ChainTableOverlay
moved after the chrome column (verified live: last child, after the
column; auto-carve rule compiled; search/close/sidebar-toggle all
still click).
The tree threads no longer touch their arrows. Each thread is
BRACKETED by checkbox bottom edges (live-measured anchors):
- starts at its parent row's checkbox bottom edge — a visible gap
below the arrow's stroke (the stroke ends ~2.4px above the anchor)
- terminates exactly at the LAST child row's checkbox bottom edge
(cluster: top-[23px]/bottom-[8px] incl. the 1px group rule; chain:
top-[22px]/bottom-[8px]). Verified live: 23=23 top anchor, bottom
ends within 0.13px of the last checkbox at both levels.
- TREE THREADS: open folders and chains drop a vertical guide from
their expander arrow straight down through their children — at the
arrow's own column (37px clusters / 73px chains), subtle border/50.
Live-measured pixel-exact: arrow center = thread x (325=325, 361=361).
- The framed table: a rule under the header and under the last group
join the between-group separators; rows stay lineless.
Each staircase step is now TWO columns (36px): chains pl-12 — the
checkbox aligned with the cluster's FOLDER icon — and statements pl-21
— the checkbox where a chain icon WOULD sit (the chains lost theirs;
the pattern continues anyway). Live-measured: chain checkbox = folder
icon (336=336); statement checkbox = chain checkbox + 36 (372).
- chain rows lose the WaypointsIcon (owner: not needed — the chips +
connectors already read as chains); folders keep their icons.
- THE ALIGNMENT STAIRCASE: every level's checkbox sits directly under
its parent's expander arrow. The expander now shares the checkbox's
14px width (h-5 w-3.5), making each nesting step exactly 18px —
clusters pl-3 (12px) → chains pl-7.5 (30px, the cluster expander) →
statements pl-12 (48px, the chain expander). Live-measured: 318=318,
336=336.
- components/top-bar.tsx: THE shared top bar (standardization ruling) —
h-15, lh-drag + carve-outs, select-none, SidebarToggle reopen with the
Electron traffic-light gutter; adopted by chat (rename keeps its
drag={false} escape hatch), new-session, practice-list, practice-exam,
and the chains overlay.
- chain table: prominent indentation (pl-11 / pl-[4.75rem]), the ONLY
lines are the separators between cluster groups (row + vertical lines
gone), plain statement rows (no conclusion marker), all three columns
sortable (Props too) with a small chevron on the active header.
- full-bleed: blur + translucent surface IS the overlay, no inner card;
own top bar (info + search + close, lh-no-drag so home's drag mask
never eats the X — the clickability bug)
- three levels, one click each: cluster (birth session; a chain lives in
its CONCLUSION's cluster) → chain → proposition STATEMENTS revealed
directly (names never twice; singletons one click); all collapsed by
default
- proposition names as outlined chips, → connectors between; lonely chip
= standalone proposition — the '(no premises)' annotation is dead in
the visible UI (survives only as aria-label); Folder/Waypoints icons;
rotating chevrons; deep statement indent
- real table look: hairline row + column lines; sortable Name + Created
headers (click toggles asc/desc; size is text, not a control)
- selection never shifts layout: floating bottom bar (Google-Photos
pattern) with N propositions → M chains + Clear + Generate
- fuzzy search grouped + auto-expanding clusters
live-verified end-to-end on the owner's dev server; 15 rewritten render
pins; gates: tsc 0, 1179/1179, lint 0, build 0
- core formatChainLine: names + arrow one-liner, singleton marker, pure
- graph-view Chains button (chrome row, empty-graph hidden) opens the
overlay: fuzzy search (names/aliases/statements), collapsible chain →
member → statement rows, birth-session + created columns, no
understanding-levels column
- pinned Selected section derives the agents' actual input live
(chainsForSelection over the selection; premise without its
conclusion shows as the singleton it becomes)
- Generate opens the creation dialog in CUSTOM mode: selection summary
+ dated default title, posts {nodeIds, params, note}; cluster mode
untouched on /practice
- live-verified on the owner's dev server: 219 chains, derived preview,
search-never-filters-Selected, dialog handoff (selection pass-through
bug caught + fixed en route), Esc/backdrop dismiss, zero writes
- practice UI files re-normalized to tabs (my earlier prettier runs had
drifted them to the 2-space default; whitespace-only)
17 render/unit pins added; gates: tsc 0, 1174/1174, lint 0, build 0
- dialog: optional 'Anything else?' textarea (typing-only, 2000-char mirror)
- API: body gains note? — trimmed, whitespace-only omitted, hard 400 over 2000
- pipeline: note persisted on the set and threaded to both agent stages
- agents: THE LEARNER'S NOTE prompt block (present only when set) + the
weighed-never-owed stance pinned in both doctrines
- fix en route: doubled THE PARAMETERS heading in both prompts since slice 3
(renderParams owns the heading; the literal blocks removed)
Rulings: each problem generation is its own visible dock job (the
extraction per-chunk pattern), and practice shares extraction's
semaphore — one process-wide 3-permit pool for ALL background LLM
jobs; total background LLM concurrency bounded at 3.
A. SHARED POOL: new src/agent/subagents/bg-llm-semaphore.ts —
globalThis __lhLlmSlots, PERMIT_COUNT 3 (the ruling), the
fresh-take/handed-off-permit deadlock discipline preserved for
BOTH callers. extraction.ts's withExtractSlot is now a thin
wrapper (job-row signal → withBgLlmSlot); __lhExtractSlots and
__lhPracticeSlots both die. The partitioner now acquires a permit
too (it's a background LLM job — it didn't before).
B. REGISTRY ROWS: the aggregate setId:generation / setId:grading rows
are replaced by setId:partition (phase partitioning, label
'Partitioning — title'), setId:gen:problemId (queued→generating,
'Problem i/N — title'), setId:grade:problemId (queued→grading,
'Grading i/N — title'). Each row carries its OWN abort controller
and its OWN usage (one PracticeStepLog per row — the aggregate
partitioner/generator/grader folding dies). Row key = feed id =
abort key (the dock dup-key law).
C. ABORT SEMANTICS: abortPracticeRow(key) routes by shape — gen row:
THAT problem only (error 'Aborted', siblings continue, set settles
ready with one errored problem); partition row: the whole run;
grade row: that grade drops (answer kept, re-submittable).
abortPractice(setId) composes from row aborts + the synchronous
persisted marks (a set-abort's verdict stands before the settles
re-read it — the settle step keeps an existing error status).
/api/activity/abort kind practice now takes the ROW key (charset
admits ':').
D. FEED + DOCK: ActivityPractice/FeedPractice carry per-row identity
(id = row key, problemIndex/problemTotal); dock blobs render per
row, labels carry the i/N; the aggregate row is gone.
E. Boot sweep unchanged at set grain; the live-row check is now a
key-prefix scan (any live row of the set protects it). The
updatedAt heartbeat covers the new row scheme as-is.
Tests (20 in the pipeline suite): per-problem row shape/uniqueness/
i-N labels (partition row frozen behind a gated partitioner; per-row
usage ISOLATION pin — b's log never shows on c's row); abort-one-gen
(sibling completes, set ready with one errored problem); partition-
row abort; queued grade-row abort (dead-ticket path: answer kept,
re-submittable, sibling lands); shared-pool identity + contention
(practice queues behind extraction-style holders); registry/dock
feed mapping. Test isolation hardened: unique per-store set ids,
afterEach registry/lock/pool reset (a timed-out test can no longer
poison the rest).
architecture.md: jobs-pattern paragraph rewritten (per-problem rows,
shared pool, abort routing).
1149/1149, tsc 0, lint 0, build 0.
Prior state: zero formatting guidance anywhere in the agent module —
models wrote prose-only by default.
GENERATOR_DOCTRINE Part III gains the FORMATTING bullet (after the
THE PARAMETERS bullet, before PREVIOUS PROBLEMS): statement, solution,
and rubric render as full Markdown — math always LaTeX (inline $…$,
display $$…$$), code/pseudocode/formal systems in fenced blocks with
a language tag, identifiers inline as `code`, tables for parallel
structure, lists for enumerations; prose-only renderings of
mathematical or structured content are a defect.
GRADER_INSTRUCTIONS gains the feedback-formatting paragraph (before
the OUTPUT section): full Markdown, LaTeX math, fenced code, lists/
tables where they carry structure — teach the boundary in properly
formatted prose, not plain text.
PARTITIONER gets nothing (machine-shaped output).
Tests: substring pins on the exported doctrine constants — the exact
FORMATTING sentence + ordering (after presentation, before previous
problems), the exact grader paragraph + before-OUTPUT ordering.
Architecture.md §7 one clause (the formatting doctrine in the
generator's prompt inventory).

Owner report: created a set, 'Interrupted (server restarted)' showed
on list + set views, generation proceeded and overwrote it. The
sweep's 'generating + no registry row' test had a false-positive
mode: it ran at EVERY pipeline instantiation, and an instance could
evaluate against a registry whose fresh row it couldn't observe.
Three guards, per ruling:
1. HEARTBEAT: ProblemSet.updatedAt? (contract + doc) — bumped on
every store write; createSet stamps it = createdAt; saveSet
re-stamps (validator tolerates absence for legacy rows).
2. ONCE PER PROCESS: the sweep guards on globalThis
.__lhPracticeSweepDone — no instance re-evaluates after the
process's first sweep.
3. GRACE WINDOW: only sets whose heartbeat (updatedAt ?? createdAt)
is older than 120s are stamped. A live run saves at every phase/
problem transition, so it is structurally unreachable; a true
orphan is minutes stale at next boot. One [practice <id>] log
line per stamped set (the extraction/jobs console.error idiom).
Tests: stale orphan stamped; FRESH generating set untouched (grace);
once-guard (second factory instantiation never re-sweeps); live-row
protection re-armed via resetSweep() test seam; store pins for
updatedAt birth-stamp + re-stamp + legacy tolerance. Architecture.md
sweep sentence updated (once-per-process + grace semantics).

Contracts: LadderRung 0-4, CueDistance 0-2, Presentation theory|
application; PracticeParams carries the three named levels. Doc
comments hold the three definition tables verbatim (rung names +
definitions from the ladder doctrine; cue levels; presentation
levels).
Core: LADDER_RUNGS/CUE_LEVELS/PRESENTATIONS tables in src/core/
practice.ts (definitions verbatim) — ONE source spoken by the agents'
prompts, the dialog's stepped controls, and the exam header; core
barrel re-exports practice.ts (pure domain, browser-safe).
Agents: Part I's ladder intro now 'five rungs, numbered; the request
arrives as a rung' with bullets numbered 0-4 (definitions untouched);
Part III's parameters block replaced with the named-level doctrine
(rung = exact class, no continuum; cue counts lesson examples AND
previous problems' situations; presentation dresses, never changes);
partitioner's RESPECT THE PARAMETERS replaced (low rungs = many small
assignments, high = larger; far cue makes confusables-together MORE
important; presentation does not shape the partition). renderParams
outputs the exact named-level block. Anchor/0..1 language swept dead.
Service + store: strict union validation — floats between levels,
out-of-range, wrong strings, legacy dial shapes all 400 at the API
and fail isProblemSet (legacy sets skipped from lists; no migration —
data/practice is disposable scratch, owner wipes before testing).
UI: dialog = 5-detent ladder slider + 3-detent cue slider (each shows
the level NAME + one-line definition) + Theory|Application segmented
toggle; defaults rung 2 / cue 1 / theory; Create posts the new shape.
Exam header gains the levels line ('Direct exercise · Adjacent
context · Theory').
Tests: renderParams exact-block pin; strict-validation pins (new
tests/practice-service.test.ts — bad unions 400, legacy shape 400);
store pins (legacy floats + 2.5 rung fail); render pins (detents +
names + definitions, defaults, detent-swap, toggle active segment,
levels line); every params fixture moved off floats. 1138/1138, tsc

inherit a visual-rendering threshold. graphClusters() now runs
birthSessionPartition(snap.nodes) directly (same size-desc/id-asc
ordering) instead of reading the snapshot's MIN_CLUSTER_SIZE-filtered
clusters array — MIN_CLUSTER_SIZE stays a hull-drawing rule only.
Label join mirrors the snapshot's (chat title / notes path, null when
the naming record is gone). Contract doc + architecture.md sentence
corrected to match; empty-picker copy reworded ('once a session births
its first proposition' — no 3+ mechanics). Render pins: new empty line
+ a 1- and 2-proposition group listing pin. 1130/1130, tsc 0, lint 0,
build 0.
