feat: add mock investigation mode for UI development

+# v0.7 — Mock Investigation Mode for UI Development
+
+## Purpose
+
+A local mock/demo mode lets you develop and test the Confidence Engine UI without running Ollama. It intercepts API calls at the frontend layer and replays pre-recorded scenario fixtures, producing identical response shapes whether real or mocked.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Enable mock mode
+export NEXT_PUBLIC_CONFIDENCE_ENGINE_MOCKS=true
+
+# Optional: choose a delay profile (default: normal = 700ms)
+export NEXT_PUBLIC_CONFIDENCE_MOCK_DELAY=normal        # instant | normal | slow
+
+# Optional: choose a scenario (default: complete = jumps to end after start)
+export NEXT_PUBLIC_CONFIDENCE_ENGINE_MOCK_SCENARIO=complete   # complete | error | ""
+
+npm run dev
+```
+
+Navigate to the confidence-engine UI and enter any scenario text — the response will come from fixtures, not Ollama.
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Required | Values | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_CONFIDENCE_ENGINE_MOCKS` | yes | `"true"` or anything else | disabled | Enables mock mode when set to `"true"` |
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_CONFIDENCE_MOCK_DELAY` | no | `"instant"`, `"normal"`, `"slow"` | `"normal"` (700ms) | Simulated latency for realistic loading UX |
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_CONFIDENCE_ENGINE_MOCK_SCENARIO` | no | `"complete"`, `"error"`, `""` | `""` (sequential turns) | Which scenario to replay |
+
+## Scenarios
+
+### Default (Sequential Turns)
+
+Replays 6 turns of the "Complaints + Production" investigation:
+
+| Turn | What happens |
+|------|-------------|
+| 0 | Start — two observations, three unknown nodes. Question: *"Were both percentages calculated from comparable baseline counts?"* |
+| 1 | User confirms same period → new observation added. Question: *"Did the complaint rate per unit produced improve or worsen?"* |
+| 2 | User provides baselines (100→135 complaints, 1000→1400 production) → new observation. Question: *"Was there any change in how complaints were recorded?"* |
+| 3 | User confirms rate improved (10/1000→9.6/1000) → new observation. Unknown `u-4` resolved by process of elimination. **no-question** — needs more evidence. |
+| 4 | *(not reached in default — shown only when stepping past turn 3)* |
+| 5 | User confirms same reporting rules → final completion with full summary. |
+
+After the initial analysis is submitted, each update call advances to the next turn. In `"complete"` mode, the first update jumps directly to turn 5 (final).
+
+### Complete Mode (`NEXT_PUBLIC_CONFIDENCE_ENGINE_MOCK_SCENARIO=complete`)
+
+After the start response (turn 0), every subsequent update returns the final completion state (turn 5) immediately. Useful for quickly verifying end-to-end UI flow.
+
+### Error Mode (`NEXT_PUBLIC_CONFIDENCE_ENGINE_MOCK_SCENARIO=error`)
+
+All API calls return a structured error response with:
+- `success: false`
+- `stage: "provider"` 
+- `error: "Mock provider error: structured response unavailable."`
+- `providerErrors: [...]`
+
+Useful for testing the UI's error display paths.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+ScenarioForm (client)
+  ├── MOCK_ENABLED (compile-time env resolution via Next.js build injection)
+  ├── useMockGlobals() → window.__MOCK_* runtime globals
+  ├── mockFetch ──► lib/mocks/confidence-engine/mock-client.js
+  │                     └── Self-contained interceptor (no external deps, pure ESM)
+  │                           ├── handleStartCase() — returns turn 0 or error
+  │                           └── handleUpdateCase() — advances turns (0→5)
+  └── fetch ────────────────► real API routes /api/cases/start | /api/cases/update
+```
+
+- **mock-client.js** is self-contained: all turn data is defined inline. It intercepts POST requests to `/api/cases/start` and `/api/cases/update`. Any other URL is passed through unchanged.
+- Uses `window.__MOCK_*` globals (set by `useMockGlobals()` hook in ScenarioForm) for runtime env access from the browser. Falls back to `process.env.*` on the server side.
+- **UI integration** in `scenario-form.jsx`: one compile-time boolean (`MOCK_ENABLED`), one React hook (`useMockGlobals`), two ternary replacements of `fetch`. No other components need changes.
+
+## Mock Indicator
+
+When mock mode is active, a `"Mock mode active"` label appears inside the Developer details panel (bottom of the workspace). It does not appear in user-facing UI areas.
+
+The indicator uses `mockFetch`'s built-in guard:
+- In client components: reads from `window.__MOCK_ENABLED` (set by `useMockGlobals`).
+- The real API path is preserved — when mock mode is off, mockFetch simply delegates to native `fetch`.
+
+## Files
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `lib/mocks/confidence-engine/mock-client.js` | Self-contained interceptor + 6-turn scenario data (pure ESM) |
+| `components/scenario-form.jsx` | Minimal integration: MOCK_ENABLED guard, useMockGlobals hook, mockFetch dispatch |
+| `.env.example` | Documented env var reference |
+| `docs/v0.7-ui-mock-mode.md` | This file |
+
+## Safety Rules
+
+- **No secrets**: Mock fixtures contain only fictional scenario data. No API keys, passwords, or PII.
+- **No `.env.local` commit**: The `.gitignore` already excludes `.env.local`. Copy from `.env.example` for local overrides.
+- **Real path preserved**: Setting `NEXT_PUBLIC_CONFIDENCE_ENGINE_MOCKS` to anything other than `"true"` returns to the real Ollama API — zero code change needed.
+
+## Turn Fixture Schema
+
+Each turn snapshot (inline in mock-client.js) contains:
+
+```js
+{
+  nodes: [{ id, label, description, kind, status, confidence, confidenceAssessment?, value?, unit?, evidenceIds?, dependsOn?, affects?, parentId?, childIds? }],
+  edges: [{ id, fromNodeId, toNodeId, relationship, confidence, description }],
+  resolved: string[],           // IDs of nodes now marked "resolved"
+  active: string | null,       // ID of the current unknown node (or null)
+  question: string | null,     // Question text for this turn
+  noQReason: string | null,    // Why no question is asked (turns 4+ in complete mode)
+  summary: string              // Current summary text
+}
+```
+
+The situationGraph returned by the fixtures matches the real route response shape exactly, ensuring the UI renders identically.
