Establishes reusable apparatus for asking: given scenario text X,
what structured initial decomposition does current production path produce?
- Direct curl/Postman via existing /api/cases/start route (no new API)
- Thin CJS helper at scripts/start-case-experiment-helper.cjs for Claude
experiments (imports startCase directly, zero code duplication)
- Zero-live-call verification: all four seam checks confirmed by existing
tests (cases-start-route.test.js, start-case-summary.test.js)
- No browser state, no persistence mutation, no Investigation ID required
by the route itself
