Verified: deriveFindingsFromContributions() exists with passing tests but
is never called in production. The contributions → findings seam is un-wired:
1. handleDeconstructSubmit() sends contribution to ScenarioForm
2. appendFocusedContribution() stores it in focusedContributions[]
3. findings state stays [] — no derivation ever runs
4. empty findings sent to /api/cases/update (which only echoes them back)
5. nothing renders from the findings surface
Fix: call deriveFindingsFromContributions after contribution is appended.
Intentional changes in this checkpoint:
- Deconstruct route: use body.targetNodeId (client identity) over raw.model-invented ID
- ThreadContributionsBadge: compact per-thread contribution indicator with expandable history
- Reopen continuation: resume from accumulated contributions instead of reformulating
- showEvidenceLimit gate: hide evidence-limit card during active investigation paths
- Evidence-limit visibility correction in rendering pipeline
- Section ordering: assumptions and connections after 'Still unclear' in focused result
- Prompt v0.3: preserve user-stated alternatives as separate unknowns; no count inflation
- 3 durable regression tests (target identity, contribution persistence, reopen state)
- evidence-limit card visibility gate test suite
Temporary residue removed:
- test-analysis.mjs (scratch diagnostic)
- 5 diagnostic console.log blocks from reasoning-workspace.jsx
- 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.
