The research finally reaches the card

Timeline

1. 1

   Start

   Charge: does the research actually reach Jan?

   Review-mode question — traced docs/known/brain/ + question-bank-seed.md against the live app

2. 2

   ~30m

   Explore agent finds the gap

   27 live questions vs. 34 research seed questions — only 1 verbatim match. Mother-conversation validation doc found blank.

3. 3

   ~40m

   Crucible post-build audit run

   GPT confirms: structural mistake, not sequencing — research and product tracks diverged, single source of truth was available and unused

4. 4

   ~45m

   Zeb reframes: not divergence, just unswapped placeholders

   27 questions were wireframe defaults from screen-building, never replaced with the researched set — much simpler problem than reconciliation

5. 5

   ~1h

   Full replace: CaptureSession.tsx rebuilt from question-bank-seed.md

   32 questions, 6 categories — category-name bug caught before shipping (memory vs. story) by cross-checking KnownCard.tsx and buildBookPages.ts consumers

6. 6

   ~1h15m

   Zeb asks: 30-second card vs. Known Card?

   Confirmed same feature, two names from two docs written at different times — no conflation

7. 7

   ~1h30m

   Zeb asks: does the Known Card actually contain correct info?

   Field-by-field audit vs. public-care-wisdom-corpus.md found 'When confused, try' had zero capture questions — hardcoded entries: [] since the card was built

8. 8

   ~2h

   Confused category added and wired end to end

   4 new questions, new category, KnownCard.tsx/buildBookPages.ts/schema.ts updated, tsc clean

9. 9

   ~2h15m

   Zeb: implement every pattern candidate the research supports

   Full audit against Known Card Pattern Candidates v1 template — 4 more sections needed (Personal care, Meals, Routine, Safety)

10. 10

    ~2h45m

    All 4 sections built, Safety handled as explicitly optional via wording not new mechanics

    47 questions total, 10 categories, tsc + full production build both clean

11. 11

    ~3h

    Deploy Gate: found and fixed check-brain-sync.mjs root path bug

    Script had never worked — resolved root 2 levels up instead of 3. Fixed, confirmed 0 drift.

12. 12

    ~3h15m

    Crucible post-build wrap run, findings printed, committed

    GPT flagged no clinical review pass and no browser QA as the two live risks carried into the weekend

What shipped

• Known: rebuilt CaptureSession.tsx's question bank end to end — 47 questions across 10 categories, replacing 27 wireframe placeholder questions that had never been swapped for the researched set

• Known: added 4 new Known Card sections that previously did not exist — When confused try, Personal care, Meals, Routine, Safety (optional) — each sourced from docs/known/brain/public-care-wisdom-corpus.md's evidence-graded pattern candidates

• Known: wired KnownCard.tsx's 'who' and 'confused' sections to actually read captured entries — both were previously either unfed by any question or hardcoded to always render blank

• Known: fixed check-brain-sync.mjs — root path resolved 2 directory levels up from scripts/ instead of 3, so the drift-checker had never actually run successfully; confirmed 0 drift after the fix

• Known: DESIGN_BRIEF_v1.md — logged a tagline candidate ('who you were is still who you are') for a later brand pass

• Known: deployed to production (known.forgekits.build) after Zeb caught that the close sequence had never shipped it — see learning entry

• ForgeKit OS: ignition.md §6 CLOSE and gates.md §Deploy Gate updated with an explicit product-deploy check — npm run retro only deploys forgekit-website, never the product app that was actually changed
