+# Experiment 56G — Validate Unresolved Uncertainty Through Live Production Path
+
+**Date**: 2026-08-09  
+**Branch**: feature/reasoning-fidelity-v0.8  
+**Type**: Live experiment — BLOCKED by apparatus failure  
+**Status**: BLOCKED - apparatus
+
+---
+
+## Objective
+
+Answer: When the user says "I'm not really sure.", does the production path preserve that uncertainty instead of resolving or strengthening the risk-constraint distinction?
+
+## Fixed Case — Regression C
+
+- **Source**: "I want the business to grow, but I don't want to take on more risk."
+- **Previous question**: "Is avoiding additional risk a hard constraint or a preference/trade-off?"
+- **Answer**: "I'm not really sure."
+- **Expected preserved meaning**: User is uncertain about whether avoiding additional risk is a hard constraint or preference/trade-off.
+- **Expected uncertainty**: Full — no position taken.
+
+## Apparatus Failure
+
+The canonical helper (`tests/graph/live-update-experiment-helper.cjs`) contains a broken import path:
+
+```js
+const { updateCase } = await import("../lib/graph/orchestrator.js");
+```
+
+From its location at `tests/graph/`, this resolves to `tests/lib/graph/orchestrator.js` — which does not exist. The correct relative path is `../../lib/graph/orchestrator.js`.
+
+The canonical helper cannot invoke the production path without a fix to this import.
+
+## Result
+
+**BLOCKED - apparatus**
+
+No live calls were made. No experiment data captured.
+
+## Evidence
+
+- File exists: `./lib/graph/orchestrator.js` (project root)
+- File missing: `tests/lib/graph/orchestrator.js`
+- Broken path: `../lib/graph/orchestrator.js` from `tests/graph/live-update-experiment-helper.cjs`
+

+
+*Status pending Rob's review. Requires canonical helper import path fix before this experiment can proceed.*
