- Add answerMeaning schema with supportCategory and resolutionGuidance enums
- Add pre-mutation guard that validates proposal alignment with answerMeaning
- Update prompt builder to instruct the model on answerMeaning contract
- Add tests for schema, guard logic, parsing defaults, and regression cases A-D
Handle the actual long-investigation fixture wording without rewriting conditions or evidence.
Fixes:
- Add 'is achievable' to future-feasibility phrase list so present-state evidence correctly leaves future conditions unresolved (different_timeframe scope)
- Add 'european equivalent' to differentiation related keywords so observation-5 evidence directly shares the differentiation concept with the condition (direct_match scope)
Updates:
- decision-condition-status tests to use present-state condition text where needed, and correct expectations for the two actual fixture cases
- Evidence-condition-scope tests for both actual fixture examples
- Design evolution log with Experiment 25B findings confirming long-investigation statuses
Move EVIDENCE_DIRECTION_GROUPS out of the mock fixture library into
lib/graph/evidence-direction.js where it belongs. Remove unused
DECISION_CONDITIONS and CONTRADICTION_KEYWORDS exports from scenarios.
Add Experiment 24A entry to the design log.
Implement the three-dimensional assessment (phase, progress, conversation
health) that sits between narrative and behaviour selection.
Key changes:
- lib/assessment/investigation-state-assessor.js: assessor module with
countObservations, assessPhase, assessProgress, assessConversationHealth,
assessInvestigationState — deterministic classifiers using known rules
- tests/investigation-state-assessor.test.js: 51 tests covering phase
classification (orienting→concluding), progress thresholds, health
conditions, confidence aggregation, edge cases, and observation counting
- lib/graph/orchestrator.js: integration calls passing correctly-shaped input
to assessInvestigationState() at three call sites (~552, ~904, ~1013)
Design decisions encoded in this iteration:
- countObservations counts nodes with known/resolved status + high-confidence
non-unknown non-state nodes (not just explicit observation-kind nodes)
- Phase uses seven values including cannot_determine for insufficient data
- Progress uses resolution ratio thresholds: accelerating (>0.6), steady
(0.2-0.6), stalled (<0.2 with ≥1 resolved)
- Overall confidence = minimum across all three dimensions (conservative)
Also adds investigation-state-assessment-contract.md and updates
design-evolution-log, investigation-state-assessment.md (status header),
and investigation-turn-cycle.md (implementation status table).
