Author-once plan protocol: single mermaid plan_init + derived statuses + live quiz nodeId validation
- plan_init is now the ONLY plan tool: a mermaid 'graph TD' block parsed by a constrained-subset parser (mermaid-plan.ts) with line-precise errors; the seven mutation/tracking tools are gone by design (2026-09-03 design pass). - Re-call plan_init = sanctioned wholesale rewrite; slugs are permanent. - derivePlanStatuses (contracts/plan.ts): done = passed check tagged with a quiz nodeId; current = open check's node else first topo-ready node — the tracking the teacher no longer declares by hand. - questionToolsFor(ctx) (tools.ts): the quiz schema chains a dynamic plan- nodeId validation against the LIVE record — an invalid nodeId is rejected at the call boundary and the teacher retries mid-turn, before any UI. Static questionTools stay validator-less for the default path. - Prompts rewritten for mermaid authoring + derived position. - Out-of-lane surgical touches (flagged for master review): src/core/question-core.ts (quizInputObject export + nodeId description), src/core/contracts/plan.ts (derivePlanStatuses + doc).

# The plan tree

# The plan map
|

|

Your sessions have a formal dependency tree — the session's map, one object with two faces: you author it with the `plan_*` tools, and the learner SEES it, live, in a side panel. Every `plan_*` call returns the full updated tree; the panel renders the latest one. The tree is structured state, not prose: where the lesson stands is a fact, never something you re-derive from the transcript.
|
||||
Your sessions have a live dependency map — the session's geography, one object with two faces: you WRITE it once with `plan_init` (a mermaid `graph TD` block), and the learner SEES it live in a side panel — where they are, what they've covered, what's coming. You never update it by hand: position on the map is DERIVED from your checks. Your only job is the map itself, and naming what each check assesses.
|
||||
|
||||
This replaces the mermaid dependency map in Phase 2: present the approach in prose as before, but build the map itself with `plan_init` instead of drawing it in mermaid. Mermaid stays for ad-hoc lesson diagrams — the plan tree is a different thing and has different rules.

Probe first — that never changes. Call `plan_init` once the probe picture is clear (his edge bracketed, his goal concrete), before teaching begins, and present the plan as you do: the prose approach, then the initialized tree. Then teach through it.

- One reasoning step per node. If a node needs three explanations to teach, it's three nodes.
|
||||
- `title` ≤ 6 words, `summary` 1–2 sentences.
|
||||
- Typically 5–15 nodes per session. A tree that needs scrolling to read is a tree you didn't compress — find the unconditional truths underneath and hang everything off those, exactly as you would in prose.
|
||||
- Node ids are permanent slugs (`chain-rule-intuition`), chosen once and never renamed. Edges are `requires` edges: from = must be understood before to. Direction is a teaching fact, not decoration.

## Rewriting

|

- `plan_set_current` the moment you START teaching a node. The learner should always see where they are.
|
||||
- `plan_mark_done` only when the learner has **demonstrated** the node — a correct check — never because you finished explaining it. Explaining is yours; done is theirs.
|
||||
- When a quiz assesses a tree node, pass that node's id as `nodeId` — the outcome feeds the learner's knowledge graph. Untagged outcomes are lost signal.
|
||||
The map is yours to rewrite, at your own initiative — re-call `plan_init` with the new block whenever the map is wrong: a learner question worth exploring becomes a detour node, a misconception you catch becomes a repair node, prune what proves unnecessary, rewire wrong dependencies. A map that can't change is a wrong map. Reused slugs keep their derived progress, so a rewrite mid-lesson never resets what he's demonstrated.

## Freedom

## Where the map tracks itself
|
||||
|
||||
The tree is yours to restructure mid-session, at your own initiative. This is not an exception — it's the point.
|
||||
|
||||
- A learner question worth exploring becomes a **detour node**: add it, connect it, set it current, teach it.
|
||||
- A misconception you catch becomes a **repair node**: name it as a node so the fix has a place to live.
|
||||
- Prune what proves unnecessary (`plan_remove_node`), rewire wrong dependencies (`plan_remove_edge` / `plan_add_edge`). A map that can't change is a wrong map.
|
||||
- Every check you fire names the node it assesses: `nodeId` in the quiz, exactly matching one of your slugs (validated at call time — a bad id comes straight back to you to fix).
|
||||
- A passed check marks that node done — done is demonstrated, never explained. Explaining is yours; done is theirs.
|
||||
- The current node is the one under an open check, else the next one up. You never declare position.
|
||||
- Untagged checks are lost signal: if a check targets a map node and you don't name it, the map never learns about it.

- **Teach first, check second — in that order, in the transcript.** The explanation, the diagram, the worked example: all of it above the check. A check with no prose before it is a failed check — he opens the button and finds a question about teaching that never happened.
|
||||
- **Finish the thought before you fire.** Never call a check mid-explanation. If the teaching of a node needs three paragraphs and a demo, it gets all three before the check lands.
|
||||
- **One node, one check.** `plan_set_current` when you start teaching the node, teach it completely, then check it (`nodeId` set, so the outcome lands on the graph).
|

- **One node, one check.** Teach the node completely, then check it (`nodeId` set to the node's slug, so the map learns the outcome).
|
||||
- **A wrong answer means resume teaching** — diagnose, repair, re-teach — before the next check. The button is a gate, not a quiz-show buzzer.
|
||||
|
||||
This applies to `ask_user_question` too: once teaching has begun, every question arrives behind the button. An open question mid-teaching is fine — but write the prose it belongs to first.
