amosblomqvist 5653c77a29 feat: probe/teach agent split — explicit phase markers, position-only plan map
Diagnosis (2026-09-11 user testing, minimal-effort GLM): sessions stuck on
'plan' forever. Two causes: (1) the three-phase view read the stored tree's
currentNodeId, which nothing ever writes post author-once (2026-09-03) — a
structural dead seam; (2) the teacher stochastically left quiz.nodeId
untagged, and done-by-quiz-result semantics would have falsely completed
nodes anyway.

The redesign (docs/probe-teach-split.md) abolishes derived occupancy in
favor of explicit events:

- Two agents over one transcript: createProberAgent (quiz without a
  nodeId field, ask, probe_done) and createTeacherAgent (full toolset,
  plan_init onward). The chat-handler construction branch keys on a
  probe_done part in the transcript. MODELS.prober added.
- probe_done: server-side seam tool — carries the learner assessment
  (strands + free-form edge read), refuses while a question is open or
  the probe is already concluded, and queues a handoff steer through the
  generalized wake pipeline (steers now dedupe by id, not jobId; job
  finalization only for job steers). The teacher auto-wakes and authors
  the plan; the learner sees the assessment via the probe-done card.
- phases: probe ends at a concluded probe_done, plan ends at a
  successful plan_init — strictly sequential, no skipping, no legacy
  compatibility (data wiped at the pivot per doctrine).
- Plan map = position, not completion: derivePlanStatuses reads only
  tagged quiz CALLS (state/outcome feed nothing); current = latest
  tagged node with consecutive duplicates collapsed, visited = earlier
  distinct stays (a revisit stays in both — current wins at render).
  PlanTree is structure-only; currentNodeId/doneNodeIds and the dead
  mutation helpers are gone. No fallback current.
- Prompts split per agent (prompts/prober/, prompts/teacher/ over the
  trimmed shared base); graph-context injection removed entirely
  (shelved, docs/probe-teach-split.md §5); knowledge-graph context no
  longer reaches either agent.
- Plan blocks are full-only snapshots at plan_init (neighborhood
  machinery retired; the persistent DAG window is the future UI wave);
  usage capture unchanged.

Gates: tsc clean, 294/294 tests (phases/plan-tree/plan-blocks/question-
tools rewritten to the new semantics; probe-done + handoff-wake tests
added), lint, build. Live GLM smoke PASS: prober concluded with an honest
assessment, teacher auto-woke, authored a 10-node plan with the block
attached, then tagged checks on slope-instinct → secant derived current/
visited exactly as designed; grading honest both ways (driver off-by-one
proved a wrong answer grades false).

/**
* THE WAKE PIPELINE (contracts.ts "THE ASYNC PROTOCOL" §4) — server-side
* steer delivery for finished sub-agent jobs.
*
* deliverJobResult(steer) — the runner calls this on job completion. The
* steer joins a per-chat serialized queue and a pump drives it:
*
* 1. WAIT FOR IDLE: while a turn is in flight (turn-liveness) OR a
* question tool part is pending (an unanswered client-side tool
* call breaks provider conversion — the steer fires right after
* the learner's continuation), poll. A short grace after the gates
* open avoids stealing the turn a client is about to send.
* 2. FIRE: a server-side teacher turn through the SAME composition as
* a client request (the injected turn runner wraps
* handleChatRequest): write-ahead persist, liveness, extraction —
* one code path. A 409 means a client turn raced in — retry with
* backoff. Idempotent per jobId (steerDelivered): a crashed wake
* or a duplicate deliver is skipped, not duplicated.
* 3. FLIP: only now does the job go done/error — a polling client
* that sees the flip re-syncs once and gets the finished record
* (steer + the teacher's response to it).
*
* Crash recovery (recoverStaleJobs): a process restart can orphan jobs —
* "running" with a result (the wake never fired) or without one (the
* sub-agent loop itself died). The sweep re-delivers finished results
* (idempotently) and re-spawns unfinished loops, both via injected
* seams. It runs lazily off the /api/jobs poll, throttled.
*
* All mutable state lives on globalThis (the turn-liveness lesson: Next dev
* gives each route entry its own module instances — a module-level Map would
* be a different object in each).

* 1. KILL the spend: fire the job's registered AbortController (the

* (its catch checks abortSignal.aborted; finishJob checks status).
* 2. DROP any queued result steer for this job (the delivering-result
* phase): resolve its entry without firing the wake. If the wake
* turn is ALREADY in flight (the pump shifted the entry), it's too
* late — the result steer lands, and the cancellation steer dedupes
* against it via steerDelivered (same jobId metadata).
* 3. FLIP the record to error "Aborted by learner" immediately — the
* poll reflects the user's action at once (the user chose
* error-with-reason over a distinct cancelled status). finalizeJob
* never overwrites a non-running status, so the flip is terminal no
* matter what the wake does.
* 4. STEER the teacher: a one-line abort note (buildAbortSteer) through
* the same wake pipeline, so the teacher's promise of a result
* doesn't hang silently in the lesson.
*
* The runner writes the usage folded so far in its finally (merge patch),
* so an aborted job's money record survives the kill.
