- Add reconstruct-v0.5-d-deconstruct-no21.md prompt (removes rule 21)
from original deconstruct-first prompt: 'Do not create artificial
uncertainties to increase their number.'
- Extend start-case-experiment-helper.cjs with --condition D and
--treatment no21 CLI flags for treatment selector apparatus
- Add programmatic treatment validation (rejects invalid treatments
cross-condition, validates only 'no21' is a valid treatment value)
- Condition D output uses freeformText field instead of reconstruction
JSON — avoids production JSON schema enforcement on freeform text
- Mock double supports freeform mode: returns deterministic raw text
instead of structured importantUnknowns when isFreeform=true
- Add 23 targeted tests: J (Condition D prompt selection),
J.1 (treatment validation), J.2 (prompt isolation verification)
- Fix existing B.1 assertions to use matchObject for execution field
Adds experimental apparatus for testing whether removing the question field
from importantUnknowns in reconstruction output improves semantic fidelity.
New files:
- lib/reconstruction/schema-variant.js (conditionB schema + production passthrough)
- prompts/reconstruct-v0.5-b-noreq.md (alt prompt, identical line count to prod)
Changed files:
- lib/graph/orchestrator.js (pass generationSchema through dependencies)
- lib/analysis.js (accept opts.generationSchema fallback to original schema)
- scripts/start-case-experiment-helper.cjs (--condition B/A flag support)
- tests/scripts/start-case-experiment-helper.test.js (8 new deterministic tests)
43 targeted deterministic tests PASS. Production callers use original prompt/schema unchanged.
No live model calls. No full suite evidence available.
