Two sequential-update scenarios via `applyValidatedProposal` (Cases A and B in the new test file) consistently returned `separate_anchors` or `insufficient_data` — no coexisting active unknowns reference the same anchor. The structural capability exists (fields populate correctly via emergent reasoning), but the triggering logic never produces shared anchors within tested flows. Control cases (C–F, 20 tests) confirmed the diagnostic works correctly on controlled fixtures and all produced nodes pass schema validation. Total: 36 new tests, all passing.

Within its training vocabulary (European market entry), the classifier correctly classified all four coherent unknowns as relevant to the decision and three of four scattered unknowns as irrelevant — but one scattered question was incorrectly flagged as relevant due to identical phrasing. Outside its vocabulary (different domain: community events, or plain-English paraphrases), the classifier could not generalise: all four coherent unknowns were classified as `cannot_determine`. The decision target never provided semantic context — only a binary action-keyword gate for Rule 1 firing. No production code changed; no active engine behaviour changed; all 70 tests pass (45 new + 25 Exp 21 regression). What remains uncertain: whether phrasing-aware pattern matching or genuine semantic understanding is needed for coherence detection. Branch: `feature/user-workspace-ux-v0.7`.

(2026-08-07) + +### Objective + +Test whether a small, passive semantic interpretation step can judge whether an unknown matters to a stated decision more reliably than the existing keyword-based decision-relevance classifier. Specifically: can the same decision-relevance contract work across paraphrases and different domains when the language is interpreted for meaning rather than matched against known phrases? + +### Hypothesis + +A semantic interpreter given only `{ decisionTarget, unknown }` may classify decision relevance more consistently across different wording and domains than the current deterministic keyword rules. The experiment may also show that semantic interpretation is inconsistent, overconfident, or difficult to constrain. Either result would be useful. + +### Semantic Contract + +The semantic interpreter receives: +```js +{ decisionTarget, unknown } +``` + +And returns exactly one of the existing four categories: +```js +{ relevance: "could_change_decision" | "supports_decision" | "unlikely_to_change_decision" | "cannot_determine", reason: "short factual explanation" } +``` + +No new categories. No chain-of-thought. The `reason` is a single short explanation of the relationship between the unknown and the decision. + +### Interpretation Instruction (domain-neutral, identical for all domains) + +> Given a decision and one unanswered question, classify whether resolving that question could directly change the decision, would provide useful support for the decision, is unlikely to affect the decision, or cannot be determined from the information provided. + +No domain-specific examples, no keyword mentions.

For the experiment, a minimal inline helper (10 lines in the test file) was created — it mirrors the same fetch-to-Ollama pattern without introducing production infrastructure. No new module was created. + +### Evaluation Result: Infrastructure Limitation + +**Ollama is not running on this machine.** `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` is unset and no process listens on port 11434.
