docs: orchestrator and handoff

Add explicit reasoning guidance for normalising counts by exposure/denominator,
distinguishing total count from rate, and avoiding correlation-as-causation errors.

Changes:
- prompts/reconstruct-v0.3.md: new prompt with normalisation discipline
- lib/reconstruction/prompt.js: v0.3 loader + env var override support
- lib/analysis.js: defer DEFAULT_PROMPT_VERSION to prompt module (defaults to v0.3)
- PROMPT_VERSIONS extended to [v0.1, v0.2, v0.3]
- tests/v03-reasoning.test.js: 34 focused tests covering prompt loading, schema validation, guidance completeness, and target scenario fixture
- playwright.config.js + tests/smoke.test.js: minimal UI smoke test for browser rendering
- package.json: add @playwright/test as devDependency

Default switches to v0.3; v0.2 selectable via promptVersion or RECONSTRUCTION_PROMPT_VERSION env var.

+
+## 3. Side Effects (LLM Calls)
+
+| Function | LLM Call? | Details |
+|---|---|---|
+| `analyseScenario()` | **Yes** | `provider.generateReconstruction(prompt, model)` — POST to configured LLM. Prompt from `buildPrompt(scenario, version)`. |
+| All graph functions (`schema.js`, `utils.js`, `builder.js`) | No | Pure/deterministic only. |
+| `startCase()` / `updateCase()` (per handoff) | **Yes** | startCase: calls analyseScenario. updateCase: calls LLM via buildUpdatePrompt context + provider for GraphUpdate, then applyGraphUpdate(). |
+
+## 4. Minimal Proposed Contract for API Functions
+
+### startCase(body)
+- **Input:** `{ scenario: string (1-10000), promptVersion?: string }` — validated by `startCaseRequestSchema`.
+- **Flow:** validate → `analyseScenario()` → if ok, `buildInitialGraph(result)`; on failure return minimal graph via `buildMinimalGraph()`.
+- **Output (success):** `{ success: true, graphSummary: string, nodeCount: number, edgeCount: number, activeUnknownNodeId: string|undefined, nextQuestion: string }`
+- **Output (failure):** `{ success: false, error: string, graphSummary: string, nodeCount: number, edgeCount: number }`
+
+### updateCase(body)
+- **Input:** `{ situationGraph: SituationGraph, previousQuestion: string (1+), answer: string (1-5000), promptVersion?: string }` — validated by `updateCaseRequestSchema`.
+- **Flow:** validate → `buildUpdatePrompt(ctx)` → LLM call for GraphUpdate proposal → `validateGraphUpdate()` → `applyGraphUpdate()` → resolve unknowns via `resolveUnknownNode()` → pick next candidate via `selectActiveUnknownCandidate()`.
+- **Output (success):** `{ success: true, graphSummary: string, nodeChanges: { added, updated, removed }, edgeChanges: { added, removed }, resolvedNodes: string[], nextQuestion: string|null }`
+- **Output (failure):** `{ success: false, error: string, graphSummary: string, nodeChanges: {}, edgeChanges: {}, resolvedNodes: [], nextQuestion: null }`
+
+## 5. Missing Interfaces — TODO
+
+1. **[TODO]** `CaseOrchestrator` class described in handoff but absent from all five inspected files. startCase()/updateCase() wrappers need implementation per above contract.
+2. **[TODO]** `buildUpdatePrompt(ctx)` (per handoff lives in prompt-builder.js) — not reviewed; input/output needs a separate doc once the file is available.
+3. **[TODO]** LLM provider interface (`getProvider()`, `generateReconstruction(prompt, model)`) — external dependency. Assumes rawResponse is parseable JSON matching v0.2/v0.1 schema; needs explicit contract.
+4. **[TODO]** Error handling for updateCase() on malformed LLM JSON — handoff notes "generic 500"; needs structured retry/error contract.
+5. **[TODO]** Completion heuristic `getCompletionStatus()` referenced in handoff but absent; needs contract (e.g., "complete" when no unresolved unknown nodes).

+**Date:** 2026-08-01
+**Branch:** `feature/reconstruction-v0.3`
+**Parent branch:** `main`
+
+---
+
+## 1. What This Project Is
+
+A Next.js app that performs evidence-based situation reconstruction on user-supplied scenarios. An LLM analyses the scenario, builds a directed graph of actors, systems, unknowns and relationships, then iteratively refines the graph through multi-turn Q&A with the user.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Recent Commit History
+
+| Commit | Message |
+|--------|---------|
+| `79ea2f6` | feat: add v0.3 normalised comparison reasoning |
+| `d72c7c5` | chore: establish clean v0.2 baseline |
+| `a2f9e47` | chore: preserve initial reconstruction prototype |
+
+Only **one commit** ahead of `main`: `79ea2f6` — the v0.3 normalised comparison reasoning work.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Current State Summary
+
+### What's done and committed to this branch
+
+1. **v0.3 prompt** (`prompts/reconstruct-v0.3.md`) — a full LLM system prompt that adds:
+   - Normalisation / rate reasoning guidance (distinguishing absolute counts from per-unit rates)
+   - Interpretation discipline (empty array when evidence is too thin; no speculative filler)
+   - "Exactly one next question" constraint (no compound questions)
+   - Evidence type classification: `direct_observation`, `reported_statement`, `interpretation`, `assumption`, `inferred_relationship`
+   - Importance and confidence scales
+   - A strict camelCase JSON output schema with four top-level keys: `inputClassification`, `reconstruction`, `evidence`, `nextQuestion`
+
+2. **v0.3 prompt versioning** (`lib/reconstruction/prompt.js`) — exports `PROMPT_VERSIONS`, `DEFAULT_PROMPT_VERSION ("v0.3")`, and `buildPrompt(scenario, version)` for loading prompt templates from disk with scenario substitution.
+
+3. **Schema validation** (`lib/reconstruction/schema.js`) — Zod schemas for v0.2 output (`reconstructionV2Schema`). A `parseReconstructionV2(rawString)` helper is used in the analysis pipeline.
+
+4. **v0.3 reasoning tests** (`tests/v03-reasoning.test.js`) — extensive test suite covering:
+   - Prompt version registration and loading
+   - v0.3 guidance completeness (normalisation, rate vs count, correlation-vs-causation)
+   - Schema validation with a realistic "production/complaints" fixture
+   - Parse helper tests
+
+5. **Graph library** (`lib/graph/`) — the multi-turn reconstruction pipeline:
+
+   | File | Purpose |
+   |------|---------|
+   | `schema.js` | Zod schemas for SituationNode, SituationEdge, SituationGraph, GraphUpdate; helpers like `makeNodeId`, `makeNode`, `makeEdge`, `makeGraph` |
+   | `builder.js` | `buildInitialGraph(reconstruction, evidence)` — converts v0.2/v0.3 analysis output into a SituationGraph with deterministic nodes/edges; `buildMinimalGraph(scenario)` for fallback; `describeGraph(graph)` for display |
+   | `orchestrator.js` | `CaseOrchestrator` class managing the full multi-turn lifecycle (idle → building → active); exports `startCase(body)` and `updateCase(body)` convenience functions for API routes |
+   | `prompt-builder.js` | `buildUpdatePrompt(ctx)` — formats current graph state + Q&A context into a system prompt for the LLM update-evaluation turn |
+   | `utils.js` | Deterministic graph operations: `validateGraphReferences`, `detectDuplicateNodeIds`, `detectDuplicateEdges`, `findDependentNodes`, `findAffectedNodes`, `resolveUnknownNode`, `selectActiveUnknownCandidate`, `applyGraphUpdate`, `validateGraphUpdate` |
+
+6. **API routes** (`app/api/`)
+
+   | Route | Purpose |
+   |-------|---------|
+   | `POST /api/start-case` | Start a new reconstruction case — accepts `{ scenario, promptVersion? }`, returns graph summary, node/edge counts, next question |
+   | `POST /api/update-case` | Process a turn — accepts `{ scenario, graph, answer, currentQuestion?, turnCount?, modelName? }`, returns updated graph summary, next question, changes summary |
+
+7. **Smoke test** (`tests/smoke.test.js`) — basic integration test for the start-case API route.
+
+### What's NOT yet committed (untracked files from git status)
+
+| File | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `lib/graph/` (full directory) | The multi-turn graph library — built but NOT yet committed to any branch. These are the new untracked files: `builder.js`, `orchestrator.js`, `prompt-builder.js`, `schema.js`, `utils.js` |
+| `tests/graph/` (full directory) | Tests for the graph library — also untracked: `builder.test.js`, `orchestrator.test.js`, `prompt-builder.test.js`, `schema.test.js`, `utils.test.js` |
+| `app/api/start-case/route.js` | New API route (untracked) |
+| `app/api/update-case/route.js` | New API route (untracked) |
+
+> **Important:** The git status shows these files as untracked (`??`). They exist on disk but have never been staged or committed. You need to decide whether to commit them now or integrate them differently.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Test Status
+
+```
+Test Files:  4 failed | 4 passed (8)
+Tests:       5 failed | 216 passed (221)
+```
+
+### Known failures
+
+The failures cluster in `tests/graph/`:
+- **`prompt-builder.test.js`** — test expects the literal string `"Existing or newly added nodes"` but the prompt template currently says `"existing or newly added nodes"` (case mismatch). The SYSTEM_PROMPT_HEADER constant uses lowercase.
+- Other graph tests likely have similar fixture/reference issues.
+
+Run `npx vitest run tests/graph/ --reporter=verbose` for full details.

+
+## 6. Key Design Decisions
+
+### Normalisation / rate reasoning (v0.3 focus)
+The v0.3 prompt explicitly instructs the model to:
+- Always consider whether a denominator/exposure metric is needed when counts change alongside scale
+- Distinguish absolute count from rate
+- Avoid treating two rising counts as causal evidence (production growth may outpace complaint growth)
+- Request the per-unit metric as the highest-value next question
+
+### Graph immutability
+LLM proposals are never applied directly. All mutations go through `applyGraphUpdate()` in `lib/graph/utils.js`, which:
+- Validates all node/edge references exist
+- Rejects duplicate IDs
+- Enforces a max graph size (500 nodes) and update size (100KB)
+- Returns the full new state for validation
+
+### Prompt versioning
+- Default is `"v0.3"` but `PROMPT_VERSIONS` includes `"v0.2"` for backward compatibility
+- `RECONSTRUCTION_PROMPT_VERSION` env var can override default at module load time
+- Prompts are loaded from `prompts/reconstruct-v0.{version}.md` on disk
+
+### Deterministic node IDs
+Node IDs are computed via a deterministic hash of the label: `makeNodeId(label)`. This avoids conflicts but means nodes must be created with consistent labels to get consistent IDs.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Open Questions / TODOs for Next Developer
+
+1. **Untracked graph library** — `lib/graph/` and `tests/graph/` are untracked on disk. Do we commit them as part of v0.4, or keep them in a separate branch?
+
+2. **Test failures** — 5 tests fail across the graph test suite. The prompt-builder case-sensitivity issue needs fixing. Review all failing tests before merging.
+
+3. **Missing `RECONSTRUCTION_PROMPT_VERSION` env var docs** — The system uses an env var override but it's not documented in `.env.example`. Add it if it's intended to be configurable.
+
+4. **Provider integration** — `lib/llm/provider.js` is imported by the orchestrator (`getProvider()`, `generateReconstruction()`). Verify the provider implementation matches what this code expects.
+
+5. **Graph completeness heuristic** — `CaseOrchestrator.getCompletionStatus()` returns `"complete"` when no unknown nodes remain, but doesn't consider whether all important observations have been verified.
+
+6. **Error resilience in update flow** — If the LLM returns malformed JSON, the update route returns a 500 with a generic error message. Consider retry logic or structured error parsing.
+
+7. **`buildUpdatePrompt` SYSTEM_PROMPT_HEADER is a module-level constant** — it's hardcoded and never versioned. If v0.5 changes the update-evaluation prompt style, this will need to become a template.
+
+8. **The `nextQuestion` field on `/api/start-case` response** includes the adapted question (original + active unknown label appended). The client may want the original and adapted separately.
+
+---
+
+## 8. File Inventory (new / changed files on this branch)
+
+### Prompts
+- `prompts/reconstruct-v0.3.md` — **NEW** — v0.3 system prompt (161 lines)
+- `prompts/reconstruct-v0.2.md` — **existing** — baseline prompt
+
+### Core library
+- `lib/analysis.js` — **MODIFIED** — analyseScenario function (uses v0.3 prompt by default)
+- `lib/reconstruction/prompt.js` — **MODIFIED** — prompt versioning exports
+- `lib/reconstruction/schema.js` — **existing** — Zod schemas + parseReconstructionV2
+
+### Graph library (untracked on disk)
+- `lib/graph/builder.js` — buildInitialGraph, buildMinimalGraph, describeGraph
+- `lib/graph/orchestrator.js` — CaseOrchestrator class, startCase, updateCase
+- `lib/graph/prompt-builder.js` — buildUpdatePrompt + SYSTEM_PROMPT_HEADER
+- `lib/graph/schema.js` — SituationNode/Edge/Graph/Update Zod schemas
+- `lib/graph/utils.js` — validation, dedup, dependency, and apply utilities
+
+### API routes (untracked on disk)
+- `app/api/start-case/route.js`
+- `app/api/update-case/route.js`
+
+### Tests (untracked on disk)
+- `tests/graph/builder.test.js`
+- `tests/graph/orchestrator.test.js`
+- `tests/graph/prompt-builder.test.js`
+- `tests/graph/schema.test.js`
+- `tests/graph/utils.test.js`
+- `tests/v03-reasoning.test.js` — **committed** to current branch
+- `tests/smoke.test.js`
+
+### Config changes
+- `package.json` — added dependency (verify which one)
+- `playwright.config.js` — added/modified for integration testing
+- `.env.local` — exists locally (not committed)
+
+---
+
+## 9. How to Run
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Unit tests
+npx vitest run
+
+# Graph library tests (has 5 failures)
+npx vitest run tests/graph/ --reporter=verbose
+
+# Start dev server
+npm run dev
+
+# API endpoints
+# POST /api/start-case    → { scenario: "..." }
+# POST /api/update-case   → { graph: {...}, answer: "...", ... }
+```
+
+---
+
+## 10. What to Do First (Recommended Priorities)
+
+1. **Review and fix the 5 failing tests** — likely simple string/fixture issues
+2. **Decide on the untracked files** — commit them, or create a v0.4 branch from this point
+3. **Verify the LLM provider integration** — ensure `getProvider()` and `generateReconstruction()` are wired up correctly
+4. **Add env var documentation** for `RECONSTRUCTION_PROMPT_VERSION` to `.env.example`
+5. **Smoke test end-to-end** — call `/api/start-case` with a real scenario and verify the full flow

+
+## Required JSON Field Names
+The JSON object must contain exactly these top-level fields:
+- addedNodes
+- updatedNodes
+- addedEdges
+- removedEdgeIds
+- resolvedUnknownNodeIds
+- affectedNodeIds
+
+## Required Shapes
+- addedNodes: array of nodes using these exact keys:
+  id, label, description, kind, status, confidence, value, unit, evidenceIds, dependsOn, affects, parentId, childIds
+- updatedNodes: array of node updates using these exact keys:
+  nodeId, previousStatus, newStatus, previousValue, newValue, reason
+- addedEdges: array of edges using these exact keys:
+  id, fromNodeId, toNodeId, relationship, confidence, description
+- removedEdgeIds: array of strings
+- resolvedUnknownNodeIds: array of strings
+- affectedNodeIds: array of strings
+
+## Proposal Rules
+1. Propose changes only. Never return a replacement graph.
+2. Preserve unrelated nodes and edges by omitting them from the proposal.
+3. Reference existing node IDs when updating an existing concept.
+4. Use addedNodes only for genuinely new concepts.
+5. Resolve the active unknown when the answer supports it.
+6. Propagate only through explicit dependencies or relationships already present in the graph.
+7. Do not invent evidence.
+8. Do not create unsupported causal edges.
+9. Do not ask more than one next question. In this contract you are not returning any next-question field at all.
+10. Use empty arrays when there are no changes in a category.
+11. Never return null array entries.
+12. Never use unknown enum values.
+13. Do not change existing IDs.
+14. Do not replace the whole graph, and do not restate unchanged graph content inside the proposal.
+
+## Additional Guidance
+- If the answer only clarifies an existing unknown, prefer updatedNodes and resolvedUnknownNodeIds over creating duplicate nodes.
+- When an answer resolves an existing unknown, include that existing node ID in resolvedUnknownNodeIds and update that node rather than creating only a parallel observation.
+- If a new metric or observation is necessary, add the smallest set of nodes and edges needed.
+- If the answer does not justify a change, return empty arrays for every category.
+
+## Example Constraint Reminder
+${formatExampleAnswerBlock()}
+
+## Output Contract Reminder
+Return one JSON object only, with exact field names and exact enum values.
+Never include a full graph.
+Never include a nextQuestion field.

-# v0.1 vs v0.2 Reasoning Comparison — Findings
-
-## Context
-Both versions were tested with two key scenarios:
-- Scenario A: "All customers cannot download invoices after logging in." (universal failure)
-- Scenario B: "Some customers can log in but cannot download invoices." (partial failure)
-
-The goal was to confirm the model distinguishes between universal and partial failures.
-
-## Results — v0.1 Route (extraction-focused schema)
-
-### Scenario A — All customers fail
-- validationStatus: valid
-- observations: 1 item ("All customers are unable to download invoices after logging in.")
-- contradictions: empty (expected - universal failure, no contrast group)
-- openUncertainties: root cause and login completion status
-
-### Scenario B — Some fail  
-- validationStatus: valid
-- observations: 2 items ("subset completes login" + "subset fails invoice download")
-- contradictions: empty (expected for this input type)
-- openUncertainties: proportion affected, technical cause
-
-**Key finding**: v0.1 uses two observations in Scenario B vs one in A to capture the subset distinction. No contradictions because both scenarios describe an observed problem, not a logical contradiction.
-
-## Results — v0.2 Route (reasoning classification schema)
-
-### Scenario A — All customers fail
-- validationStatus: valid
-- primaryType: observed_problem + fault_report (secondary)
-- differences: empty (expected - universal failure has no contrast group)
-- importantUnknowns: error message, recent changes to services
-- reasoningModes: identify_difference, fault_investigation, identify_missing_information
-
-### Scenario B — Some fail
-- validationStatus: valid
-- primaryType: observed_problem + fault_report (secondary)  
-- differences (1): "The failure is limited to some customers, implying a difference between affected and unaffected user accounts"
-- importantUnknowns: what distinguishes affected from unaffected accounts
-- reasoningModes: identify_difference, fault_investigation, identify_missing_information
-
-**Key finding**: v0.2 explicitly captures the quantifier difference in its differences section for Scenario B - this is the key structural distinction between all and some scenarios.
-
-## Quantifier Distinction Verification
-
-Both versions correctly handle the universal vs partial failure distinction:
-
-| Aspect | Scenario A (All) | Scenario B (Some) |
-|--------|-----------------|-------------------|
-| v0.1 observations | 1 (universal) | 2 (login OK + download fail) |
-| v0.1 contradictions | 0 (expected) | 0 (expected) |
-| v0.2 primaryType | observed_problem | observed_problem |
-| v0.2 differences | empty (no contrast) | explicitly notes subset limitation |
-| v0.2 unknowns focus | root cause | what distinguishes affected accounts |
-
-Both versions produce valid structured output and correctly distinguish universal vs partial failure scenarios.
-
-## Prompt Fix Summary
-
-The v0.2 prompt template (prompts/reconstruct-v0.2.md) was updated to include an explicit JSON output schema section that:
-1. Specifies exact camelCase key names matching the Zod schema
-2. Lists all valid enum values for primaryType and reasoningModes  
-3. Defines the complete nested structure for reconstruction, evidence, and nextQuestion
-4. Includes critical rules preventing snake_case keys or invented top-level fields
-
-Before fix: Model output had input_classification, reasoning_mode, anchors - all invalid per Zod schema -> validationStatus: invalid
-After fix: Model output has inputClassification, reconstruction, evidence, nextQuestion with correct nested structure -> validationStatus: valid

+You are a neutral analyst performing evidence-based situation reconstruction.
+
+## Rules
+
+1. Do NOT invent facts, context or causes. Only include information present in the scenario or clearly implied.
+2. First determine what kind of input has been supplied. Use only these classification types:
+   observed_problem, unexplained_change, contradiction, decision_request, causal_claim,
+   reported_claim, fault_report, ambiguous_statement, question, desired_outcome,
+   insufficient_context, other
+3. Choose reasoning modes from:
+   establish_baseline, identify_difference, reconstruct_transition, decompose_aggregate,
+   validate_measurement, validate_claim, investigate_contradiction, clarify_meaning,
+   decision_support, fault_investigation, identify_missing_information, test_possible_explanations, other
+4. Look for anchors: actor, system or object, expected outcome, observed outcome,
+   previous state, current state, difference between groups, change over time, measurement,
+   evidence source, proposed action.
+5. Identify meaningful differences (e.g., some succeed while others fail; revenue rises while cash falls).
+6. Keep multiple plausible interpretations separate where the evidence does not distinguish them.
+7. Distinguish: what was said / what it may mean / why it may have been said.
+8. If input is too ambiguous or contains no useful operational anchors, say so and ask for
+   the single piece of context that would best distinguish plausible interpretations.
+
+## Normalisation and rate reasoning (apply whenever applicable)
+
+When the scenario mentions counts, totals, frequencies, or volumes alongside changes in
+scale, volume, exposure, time, population, or output:
+
+- ALWAYS consider whether a denominator or exposure metric is needed to normalise the count.
+- Distinguish between absolute count (total number observed) and rate (count per unit of exposure).
+- Two metrics rising at similar percentages does NOT imply that quality, performance, or safety
+  has worsened — production growth may outpace complaint growth, meaning the per-unit rate
+  could be stable or even improved.
+- Identify the possible denominator explicitly (e.g., "per unit produced", "per customer served",
+  "per hour of operation").
+- State clearly: "The absolute count changed by X%, but without knowing the denominator we cannot
+  determine whether the rate per unit has worsened, stayed stable, or improved."
+- Avoid treating correlation between two rising counts as evidence of a causal relationship.
+
+## Interpretation discipline
+
+- Do NOT generate plausible interpretations merely to fill a list. If the evidence does not
+  support useful, distinct interpretations, return an empty array [].
+- Only include an interpretation when there is specific evidence that makes it distinguishable
+  from alternatives and worth evaluating further.
+- Rank all reconstruction details by importance:
+  - critical: essential to resolving the situation; without it conclusions cannot be drawn
+  - important: materially affects understanding of the situation
+  - supporting: adds context but not critical
+  - incidental: minor detail, unlikely to affect conclusions
+
+## Next question discipline
+
+- Generate exactly ONE next question. Do NOT combine multiple questions.
+- The first and only question should target the single most useful missing comparison or data point.
+- Prefer narrow, specific questions over broad compound questions.
+- When counts have changed alongside scale/exposure, the highest-value question typically targets
+  the rate-per-unit or equivalent normalised metric.
+- Do NOT generate speculative interpretations merely to justify a question.
+
+## Confidence scale
+
+- low — weak evidence, speculation, or missing information
+- medium — reasonable inference from available evidence
+- high — strong evidence, direct observation, or confirmed fact
+
+## Importance scale (evidence records)
+
+- incidental — minor detail, unlikely to affect conclusions
+- supporting — adds context but not critical
+- important — materially affects understanding of the situation
+- critical — essential to resolving the situation; without it conclusions cannot be drawn
+
+## Expected information value (next question)
+
+- low — marginally useful even if answered
+- medium — meaningfully clarifies the situation
+- high — would significantly distinguish between plausible explanations or fill a gap in understanding
+
+## Next question selection criteria
+
+Prefer questions that:
+- clarify a major difference
+- establish a baseline
+- explain an important transition
+- test an unsupported claim
+- distinguish between plausible explanations
+- request measurable evidence
+- identify who or what is affected
+- establish timing
+
+Avoid questions that:
+- have already been answered
+- assume a cause
+- jump to a solution
+- ask about motive before the observable situation is understood
+- focus on incidental wording
+- are too broad to produce useful information
+- combine many unrelated questions
+
+## Output format — return this exact JSON structure
+
+Return a JSON object with exactly these four top-level keys (use **camelCase**):

+CRITICAL RULES for JSON output:
+1. Use **exactly** the key names shown above (camelCase, no snake_case).
+2. The four top-level keys must be: `inputClassification`, `reconstruction`, `evidence`, `nextQuestion`.
+3. Do NOT invent new top-level keys (no `anchors`, `confidence` at top level, `meaningful_differences`, etc.).
+4. Keep `actors`, `systemsOrObjects`, `expectedStates`, `observedStates`, `differences`, `contradictions`, `importantUnknowns` as arrays even if empty: [].
+5. Keep `plausibleInterpretations` as an array (can be []), same for `knownTransitions` and `unexplainedTransitions`.
+6. Each object in arrays must have at least `id`, `description`, `confidence`.
+7. **evidenceType**: classify each evidence item clearly as either a direct observation, a reported statement, an interpretation, an assumption, or an inferred relationship. Do not treat raw counts as proof of causal relationships — they may be inferred relationships only when supported by explicit reasoning about denominators or rates.
+
+Scenario:
+{{SCENARIO}}
+
+Return ONLY the JSON object starting with { and ending with }. Do NOT include any text before the opening brace or after the closing brace. Do NOT wrap in markdown backticks.

- *   TECHNICAL — structural correctness of the output:

- *     • Classification accuracy  (primary type + reasoning modes correct?)

- *
- *   REASONING QUALITY — faithfulness of the inference:
- *     • Required concept presence       (must-identify items found?)
- *     • Unsupported inference absence   (prohibited claims genuinely absent?)
- *
