Extraction-UX close-out interlude (master dispatch 2026-09-24, off UI's
ff1ec7a confirmation): nothing client-side consumes GET /api/graph/coverage
— the sidebar block and the chat-bar ring both read GET /api/chats/[id]'s
coverage block. The dead route (app/api/graph/coverage/route.ts) is
deleted; the manual-extract front door (POST /api/graph/coverage/extract)
stays by design.
No server helper was orphaned — the route was composition-only over
shared seams (chatStore, extractionStatuses, stores, coverageOf). The
sessionCoverage doc + the chats/[id] route comment now point at the
per-session block as THE coverage surface.
Pin (tests/coverage.test.ts): the route file's absence (prompt-overrides'
structural-pin precedent) + the Extract POST's survival — a merge cannot
resurrect the dead surface silently.
THE MESSAGE IS THE UNIT OF COVERAGE (vision-extraction-coverage.md): a
per-chat append-only ledger (coverage.jsonl) records which messages the
pipeline has extracted, by content fingerprint over exactly what the
extraction view sees (one shared line builder — core/coverage.ts); the
uncovered remainder is DERIVED at read time, never dual-tracked. A quiz
answer merging into the asking message re-opens only that message;
plan-block data-part attach never re-opens anything.
- The trigger (turn-service) replaces every-3-quiz-answers with
uncovered-tokens >= EXTRACTION.chunkTokens (4096) — quiz-less sessions
extract too, content size is the honest signal.
- runExtraction is now chunked: token-budgeted batches of the oldest
uncovered consecutive messages (a tool call + result never split), each
merged batch checkpointing its messages' coverage atomically — an abort
or error loses at most the in-flight batch; merged batches stay covered.
- Observation refs are batch-tagged (obs:<batchTag>:<sourceId>): re-runs
of the same batch dedupe; a re-opened message's fresh understanding
lands as a new event. Fixes the old obs:p1 position-collision.
- New API: GET /api/graph/coverage (exact per-session derived coverage +
running flags, most-uncovered first) and POST /api/graph/coverage/extract
(manual run for one session, 409 while in flight).
- Graph view chrome: the coverage button opens a panel with every
session's covered/uncovered tokens and a per-session Extract button —
the manual answer to aborted runs, errors, and dormant tails. Renders
even when the graph is empty: an empty graph with uncovered sessions is
exactly when it matters. Polls only while open.
- Notes imports keep the whole-file checkpoint path (coverage undefined).
- Tests: pure-core coverage suite (11), chunked-pipeline suite (3:
multi-batch + no-op, abort-keeps-earlier-batches + remainder re-run,
re-open alone + data-part invisibility), panel render suite (5);
pendingQuizAnswers and its tests deleted as dead code. 486/486.
Live-smoked on real GLM: manual extract of "teach me modal realism" ran
one batch, wrote 4 coverage entries, panel flipped to "1.3k covered ·
complete" with the button disabled, graph refetched (nodes 11), usage
persisted with real stats.
