- Enhance Current Understanding prominence with subtle teal/teal border
gradient, stronger heading, larger body text, more internal spacing
- Restore Situation panel as right-hand column in initial reflection view;
uses OriginalSituation when graph exists, scenario text fallback otherwise
- Stacks layout on narrow screens via grid-cols-1/gap-6/lg:grid-cols-3
- Apply teal styling to normal-state CurrentUnderstandingCard and
PlainLanguageCard (was flat gray border with bg-transparent)
- Surface assumption nodes alongside unknowns in Open Questions; add
Unclear / Plausible interpretation tags
- Wire up follow-up question buttons in deconstructed results
The successful focused deconstruct calls onFocusedContribution which
updates parent state, but never persisted the new collection to
sessionStorage. This meant an immediate reload would lose the
contribution.
Fix: add a useEffect in ReasoningWorkspace that watches the
focusedContributions prop for changes and saves via the existing
saveSession mechanism. A ref guard prevents double-save alongside the
existing updateStatus-success effect.
- Add focusedContributions state + appendFocusedContribution callback in ScenarioForm
- Contributions persist through session lifecycle (save/restore/restart)
- Pass onFocusedContribution and focusedContributions to ReasoningWorkspace
- Call onFocusedContribution on successful deconstruct with full result shape
- Test: contribution sequence, field preservation, same/different target coexistence
Add three exclusivity guards that suppress legacy surfaces during the
initial post-Analyse reflection state (postAnalyseStatus === 'success'):
- CurrentInvestigationCard: suppressed because its selectedQuestion
from startCase was leaking into the initial reflection view
- OpenQuestionsPanel: suppressed because it rendered whenever hasGraph
was true, regardless of initial reflection state
- Terminal state cards (EvidenceLimitCard / CompletionCard): suppressed
because they fired on status='success' && !hasSelectedQuestion
Transition out of initial reflection happens when user clicks a proposed
finding, which sets formulationStep='active' and triggers the existing
deactivation useEffect.
No reasoning changes. No startCase changes. No mock changes.
Emphasise the active investigation card through stronger elevation,
clearer borders, and improved spacing. Quiet supporting panels by
reducing border opacity, softening heading weight, and lowering
text contrast — making them available without competing for attention.
Facilitator card receives a warm surface tint to read as a briefing
card rather than a generic panel.
Documentation: close experiment 05 with findings, add experiment 06
to the design evolution log, add Attention Hierarchy to UX guidelines,
defer dark mode to a future Investigation Mode experiment.
Presentation changes only — no reasoning, prompts, graph, API, or
backend modifications.
