Compress the speculative 452-line architecture spec into a constraint-focused
experiment brief. Reduce the initial behaviour set to five patterns
(Acknowledge, Clarify, Summarise, Continue, Pause) — the smallest useful
subset for testing whether behaviour selection improves over 'always ask'.
Remove: arbitrary weights/scores, convergence requirements, phase-constrained
tables (design preferences not discoveries), rationale output infrastructure,
Behaviour Readiness dimension specs.
Keep: five behaviours with plain condition-matching rules, explicit v0.1 scope
boundary, Future Considerations section for deferred architecture items.
Also add Behaviour Selection entry to reasoning-contract-backlog and mark
Stage 4 (State Assessment) as implemented in investigation-turn-cycle.
Phase 2: Recovery state components (ProviderUnavailableCard,
MalformedResponseCard, UnexpectedStateCard, ContinueLaterBanner) with
automatic error detection for provider/network/malformed/unexpected states.
Phase 3: Session persistence via sessionStorage — save after each
successful turn, restore on mount, clear on restart/reset. Continuelater banner shown when session is restored.
Phase 4: InvestigationSummaryPanel component displaying current status,
understanding summary, questions answered/remaining, investigation timestamps.
Phase 5: docs/reasoning-contract-backlog.md documenting all mocked
fields (60+ rows across 7 categories) with feature/UI need/mock/desired
output/stage/notes columns.
Also: wired onRestart through ReasoningWorkspace → ScenarioForm, fixed
getErrorType scope issues, removed broken window.__restartInvestigation.
