Extended deterministic test to write serialized evidence record to
OS temp directory, read back from disk, parse JSON, and assert deep
structural equality. Verified: five structured arrays preserved with
correct lengths; exact inputs unchanged; identity fields intact; null
metadata fields survive round-trip. Temp file cleaned in finally block.
Zero live model calls. Zero browser calls. No production code or
canonical-helper modifications. Experiment 4 original structured
output remains unavailable.

Apparatus-level pure serialization function that preserves all five
focused-deconstruction arrays (observations, uncertainties, assumptions,
relationships, possibleFollowUpQuestions) plus exact inputs and execution
metadata from the existing checkpoint — without modifying production code.
Deterministic verification: syntax check pass, 79/79 assertions pass
(including 28 new evidence-ser tests), zero live calls.
Experiment 4's missing structured output cannot be reconstructed (never
persisted by the apparatus). No new semantic evidence produced.
Add focusedInvestigationInput {targetDescription, question, answer} to
composeDeepInvestigationCheckpoint() return object. These are the actual
invocation values: targetDescription from situationGraph node, question
is previousQuestion (NOT node.openQuestion), answer is function param.
Deterministic verification: syntax check passed; source-inspection test
assertions E10/E11 added and pass (0 failures). Call-count ownership:
up to 3 live generateReconstruction calls (focusedDeconstruct +
reconsiderCompletedEpisode + synthesizeCurrentUnderstanding).
No provider, graph, or production behavior changed.

Remove the 140-line Iteration 16 test section (commit 5d4e7b5) that
represented manually supplied checkpoint values as evidence of
target-scoped contribution behaviour. The section used extractLiveExperimentCheckpoint
to construct mock result objects simulating multi-episode state transitions
but could not observe contributions — the deterministic seam has no
contributions field in its return shape.
Preserves: all pre-existing checkpoint tests, Iteration 15 source-level
assertions, synthetic CU synthesis tests, and existing helper imports.
Add Iteration 16 test extension that documents the behavioral evidence
boundary for target-scoped contribution filtering:
- Observable via extractLiveExperimentCheckpoint:
* Node A pre-episode graph state (graphCheckpoint.nodeCount)
* B's fresh deconstruction trigger (providerGenerateCalls increments)
* Graph/findings continuity (reasoningState turnCount advanced)
- Blocked from deterministic seam (no contributions field in checkpoint):
* Historical contribution retention for non-current targets
* B contribution associated with targetNodeId
* Both A and B surviving in postEpisodeContributions
* B prep scope receiving B-specific contribution
Uses mock result objects to simulate the two-target sequence
(n_enterprise_customer_signing -> n_product_launch_decision) and
explicitly documents which assertions can and cannot be verified.
Historical contributions for a different Open Question node no longer
suppress fresh focused deconstruction of the current target. Only
contributions whose targetNodeId matches the current target are counted
towards suppressing redundant deconstruction.
