+
+**Date:** 2026-08-14
+**Branch:** `feature/decision-sufficiency-module-v0.44`
+**Experiment commit:** 1ca5026 experiment: confirm post-refactor live equivalence
+**Result:** A — EXACT DETERMINISTIC EQUIVALENCE CONFIRMED
+
+When the post-refactor production code receives an unresolved parent decision and only resolves the customer factor (leaving the decision to be closed by deterministic sufficiency closure), the extracted `decision-sufficiency.js` path closes the decision exactly as the pre-refactor 60B.66 baseline did:
+
+Key outcomes:
+- Decision `n_product_launch_decision` resolved unknown→resolved via deterministic closure (not via proposal mutation)
+- Decision value = null (no directional recommendation invented)
+- `finalActiveUnknownNodeId = null`, `finalSelectedQuestion = null` (both closure-correct)
+- Customer factor resolves in place with negative meaning preserved
+- Zero addedNodes, zero addedEdges
+- Decision identity preserved; both options preserved
+
+Apparatus: Reused existing regression `60B.64 Test 1 — exact 60B.56 wording closes` (no new harness created).
+Post-refactor deterministic closure path verified as equivalent to pre-refactor baseline.

+# Experiment 60B.69 — Post-Refactor Deterministic Closure Path Replay
+
+**Date:** 2026-08-14
+**Branch:** `feature/decision-sufficiency-module-v0.44`
+**Experiment commit:** 1ca5026 experiment: confirm post-refactor live equivalence
+
+## Objective
+
+When the post-refactor production code receives the exact proposal shape where only the customer factor resolves and the parent decision remains unknown, does the extracted `decision-sufficiency.js` path close that existing decision exactly as the pre-refactor 60B.66 path did?
+
+## Hypothesis
+
+```
+Customer factor: updated → resolved (in place)
+Parent decision: NOT updated by proposal (remains unknown entering applyValidatedProposal)
+Raw answer contains confirmation phrase: "There are no other material uncertainties between launching this year and waiting twelve months."
+
+Expected post-mutation:
+  customer status = resolved
+  decision status = resolved (via deterministic closure, not via proposal mutation)
+  decision value = null (no directional recommendation invented by closure)
+  activeUnknownNodeId = null
+  selectedQuestion = null
+  resolvedUnknownNodeIds contains both customer and decision
+  addedNodes = []
+  addedEdges = []
+```
+
+## Critical distinction
+
+This experiment is NOT asking whether the LLM produces a good closure proposal.
+
+It asks: **when the deterministic closure path is actually required, does the post-refactor production path still behave exactly like the pre-refactor baseline?**
+
+## Apparatus
+
+The existing regression `60B.64 — explicit decision sufficiency closure > Test 1` already exercises the exact 60B.56-shaped proposal:
+
+- **Proposal:** only `n_enterprise_customer_signing` updated to resolved; `n_product_launch_decision` NOT in `updatedNodes`
+- **Raw answer:** "There are no other material uncertainties between launching this year and waiting twelve months." (confirmation phrase)
+- **Parent decision enters as unknown** → must be resolved by deterministic closure
+
+No new harness created. The existing regression is reused directly.
+
+## Baseline comparison
+
+| Field | 60B.66 (pre-refactor live) | 60B.64 Test 1 (post-refactor deterministic replay) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Proposal accepted | YES | YES |
+| Customer status | resolved | resolved |
+| Decision status | **resolved** (unknown→resolved via closure) | **resolved** (unknown→resolved via closure) |
+| Decision value | null | null |
+| activeUnknownNodeId | null | null |
+| selectedQuestion | null | null |
+| addedNodes | [] | [] |
+| addedEdges | [] | [] |
+| resolvedUnknownNodeIds | ["n_enterprise_customer_signing", "n_product_launch_decision"] | includes both customer and decision |
+
+## Test run
+
+### Command
+```bash
+npx vitest run tests/graph/apply-proposal.test.js tests/graph/decision-sufficiency.test.js -t "60B.69|60B.64|60B.67"
+```
+
+### Result: 8 passed (all from `60B.64 — explicit decision sufficiency closure`)
+
+All 32 pure decision-sufficiency module tests also pass independently.
+
+## Classification: A — EXACT DETERMINISTIC EQUIVALENCE CONFIRMED
+
+The post-refactor production path receives an unresolved parent decision and deterministically produces the same clean closure baseline:
+
+```
+decision -> resolved
+activeUnknownNodeId -> null
+selectedQuestion -> null
+no direction invented
+```
+
+## Evidence conclusion
+
+```
+PRE-REFACTOR LIVE BASELINE:
+60B.66 PASS
+
+POST-REFACTOR DETERMINISTIC EXACT-PATH REPLAY:
+60B.69 PASS (via existing 60B.64 Test 1 regression)
+
+POST-REFACTOR LIVE OPERATIONAL CHECK:
+60B.68 PASS, DIFFERENT MODEL PROPOSAL SHAPE
+
+CONCLUSION:
+The structural extraction is sufficiently evidenced as zero-semantic-change for the customer-signing decision-sufficiency path.
+```
+
+## What this proves
+
+1. **The extracted `decision-sufficiency.js` path correctly closes unresolved parent decisions** when all material factors resolve and the user confirms no remaining uncertainty.
+2. **No directional value is invented** by deterministic closure — the decision receives `status = resolved, value = null`, matching the 60B.66 baseline.
+3. **Active target and question lifecycles are correctly cleared** — both `activeUnknownNodeId` and `selectedQuestion` reach `null`.
+4. **No spurious graph mutations** — zero added nodes, zero added edges.
+5. **The pre-refactor deterministic closure contract is preserved** across the 60B.67 structural extraction refactor.
