The extractor's per-proposition understanding observations (named-word
scale: solid/shaky/accepted/...) were ledger data since the redesign,
with no surface. This exposes them at read time and shows each
session's note as a small chip on its session row in the node detail
card — the per-session confidence history the user asked for, one
observation per (node, chat), latest wins within a chat.
- GraphSnapshot.nodeObservations: nodeId -> chatId -> note, built in
graphSnapshot() from observation events (pure read-time join).
- Sessions list rows: link + observation chip.
- Session-relative judgments stay session-scoped: they render next to
their session, never as node state (the state model stays pending).
The five-class NodeStateClass (taught/known/missed/dont-know/candidate)
was transitional scaffelage from the 2026-09-02 redesign, deriving state
by latest-quiz-wins — exactly what the philosophy rejects: understanding
is inferred at read time from the real state model (still pending
ideation), never encoded as quiz-derived classes.
- contracts: NodeStateClass deleted; GraphSnapshot no longer carries
nodeStates (objective graph + sessions only).
- core: deriveNodeStates replaced by latestQuizOutcomes — the raw
event fact (nodeId -> latest quiz kind), consumed ONLY by the
teacher's graph-as-context selection, never by the home renderer.
- graph-context: hotspot selection re-keyed to outcomes — groups are
now 'Hotspots (last answer wrong or don-t-know) / Answered correctly /
Never probed'. Same diagnostic selection, no state taxonomy.
- graph-view: nodes render uniformly (accent color, size 8); the panel
is search-only; the detail card's state badge is gone. Quiz outcomes
remain ledger data for the future state model.
Verified live (headless): uniform discs (single color/size, zero state
pixels), search-only panel, card = name + statement + sessions, no
console errors.
With real extracted data, full-sentence statements as canvas labels proved
unworkable: 10-line label blocks, illegible overprint clusters, bottom-edge
clipping. Per the user's 2026-09-08 decision:
- GraphNode/ExtractedProposition gain `name` — a very short, glanceable
label (glossary-headword style: "Will to power"), presentational only:
not unique, not identity, never precise. Set at creation; link-appends
never change it (first line defines; labels stay stable across sessions).
- `statement` keeps its full precision and becomes the identity anchor;
the detail card shows it under the name. `description` is dropped.
- Extractor coins the name (freshest session context); auditor carries it
through on create, rewording only clearly unglanceable names; linked
propositions keep the existing node's name.
- Renderer: canvas label = name; search matches name + statement;
detail card = name (bold) + statement (muted).
- Store guard requires name (pre-pivot node lines are skipped as legacy);
vision.md node-schema bullet + amendments table updated (2026-09-08).
The minimal implementation of the 2026-09-02 graph vision (docs/vision.md §1):
- contracts/graph.ts: every node is a TRUE proposition (statement is both
rendering label and identity key; required description; no kind, no name).
Edges are follows (derivable) / supports (grounds without entailing) with
message-granular provenance points {chatId, messageId}. Events reduce to
correct/miss/dont-know plus observation (understanding notes); no taught
events, no misconception kind.
- extraction.ts: extractor is TREE-BLIND (transcript only, no plan tree) and
free-form; auditor sees findings + the current graph, owns faithfulness and
identity (link-or-create verdict per proposition, recorded as linkTo);
transcriptView tags every line with its message id (provenance anchors).
- core/graph.ts merger: applies verdicts deterministically — linkTo appends
a link line (phrasings join aliases, provenance unions; reads merge by id),
absent creates; NO string matching anywhere. Quiz events rebuilt from tool
parts with attribution-only nodeId resolution; understanding notes become
observation events (obs:<sourceId>); mapping lines are the verdict audit
trail and make re-merges idempotent.
- deriveNodeStates: transitional — latest quiz event wins (known/missed/
dont-know, else candidate); taught unreachable until the state-model
ideation lands.
- graph-context.ts + 50-graph-context.md: follows chains, hotspot grouping,
state vocabulary updated for the new event kinds.
- graph-view.tsx: node label is the statement; detail shows statement +
description.
- tests: merger verdicts (link, no-string-match, cross-chat assertions),
tree-blind pipeline end-to-end, follows vocabulary in context tests.
276/276 green.
Schema: GraphNode + ExtractedProposition carry 'name' — a short 2-6 word
header, the rendering handle. Node theory made explicit: a node is an
objective world-facing fact; the learner's relationship to it lives
entirely in the event ledger (state labels are derived, never stored).
Extractor + auditor instructions enforce it — misconceptions state the
wrong idea itself as a claim, never 'the learner believes Y'. Legacy
ledger lines without a name derive one from the statement on read.
graph-view: labels use the name; the detail panel shows name as header
and statement as body.
The knowledge graph's write channel is now the pivot's target
architecture (vision §1 construction):
- src/agent/subagents/extraction.ts — the pipeline factory
(createExtractionPipeline({ chatStore, graphStore, extractor?,
auditor? }); models env LH_EXTRACT_MODEL ?? LH_MODEL):
* transcriptView(): the compact view both LLM stages see — final plan
tree with node ids, conversation verbatim, QUIZ lines with outcomes,
mark_done lines; job tool parts are one-liners, plan ops fold into
the tree line.
* Extractor: transcript → SessionFindings (propositions incl.
misconceptions and prose-only supports edges, attribution for
UNTAGGED probes, all with verbatim evidence) via one zod-validated
submit_findings call.
* Auditor: transcript + findings → the verified subset + drops (the
faithfulness net) via submit_review.
- src/core/graph.ts — emitChat/foldStaleChats/replayFinalTree retire;
mergeFindings() replaces them as the pipeline's deterministic apply
stage: exact/alias identity resolution (one mapping line per (chat,
graph node)), edge dedupe, and event rebuild FROM THE TRANSCRIPT's tool
parts — kinds/timestamps/refs/notes deterministic, the LLM's only event
say being WHICH proposition an untagged probe tested (retroactive —
the vision's open question #3, resolved structurally: tagged events
resolve deterministically; attribution rescues untagged and
tagged-but-unmapped ones; unattributable land null + question text).
pendingQuizAnswers() is the trigger helper.
- Trigger (turn-service.ts triggerExtraction, replacing the old
foldTurnIntoGraph body): once a chat accumulates
EXTRACTION.everyNQuizAnswers (LH_EXTRACT_N, default 3) new answered
quizzes, fire the pipeline async — single-flight per chat, failure
checkpoints nothing and re-runs on the next trigger. Deliberately a v1
placeholder isolated in ONE seam, trigger-agnostic pipeline.
- GET /api/graph is now a pure read (foldStaleChats gone).
- NodeMapping.treeNodeId → sourceId (the mapping key is now the writer's
local proposition id — tree node when tree-derived); store strict-read
schema updated. Local ledger data regenerates through the pipeline.
- Tests: graph.test.ts rewritten around mergeFindings (identity,
attribution paths incl. ghost-rescue, idempotency, cross-session
provenance, trigger counting), graph-context.test.ts merge section
converted to findings-driven, NEW extraction.test.ts — transcriptView
units + the full pipeline with mock models (audit drops, failure
checkpoints nothing, single-flight). 195/195, tsc/eslint/build clean.
Probe attribution (vision open question): probes attach retroactively by
the extractor against the whole transcript; a pre-tree probe maps to a
proposition the tree only articulates later. Fuzzy/embedding merge
adjudication stays deferred (conservative exact/alias only).
Per-entity semantic ports (src/core/ports.ts), one adapter family
(src/store/*, fs JSON/JSONL), exactly one composition point
(src/server/stores.ts). Dependency direction is now machine-checked:
adapters implement core interfaces; core never imports an adapter.
The inversion:
- core/graph.ts (emitChat/getGraph/graphSnapshot/foldStaleChats) is now
pure — it takes the storage ports as explicit parameters (GraphDeps).
No store imports; newGraphNodeId is local; node id format unchanged.
- core/graph-context.ts buildGraphContext() no longer defaults to the
live ledgers: the chat-handler hands in getGraph(graphStore) per turn.
- store adapters export exactly one object each implementing their port
(chatStore/graphStore/jobStore); bodies otherwise verbatim.
NodeMapping + SessionCheckpoint moved store/graph -> core/contracts
(they ARE contract shapes); CreateJobInit/JobPatch live in ports.
- titleFromPrompt moved store/chats -> core/contracts (pure helper,
planNodeStatus precedent). Store modules now contain persistence only.
- server/stores.ts is the composition root; server/{chats,graph,jobs}.ts
and chat-handler wire from it; agent (plan tools, sub-agent runner)
call the port objects. The shell surface (@/src/server exports) is
unchanged.
Lint law extended: the whole of src/core is now a purity zone (was a
file glob with a graph/graph-context exemption). Verified it fires on
core->store imports; tsc clean, 190/190 tests, eslint clean, prod build
clean (prerender 6/6). Tests pass deps explicitly — graph.test uses the
same fs-adapter pair stores.ts wires in production; graph-context.test
keeps its in-memory ledgers as a GraphStore implementation.
