Process & step lineage

Follow the collaboration across rounds and inspect the paths attributed to individual steps.

The Process diagram shows the recorded sequence from independent proposals to the selected plan. Lines between proposal boxes are title-attributed step flows, not a log of separate messages or evidence that only connected agents could read one another. In execution, every refiner received all valid proposals from the preceding round.

Diagram elements

#
Element What it shows
Round lanesReviewed R 0.1.16 Round 0 and each refinement, with links to their report sections. Positions express process order, not proportional elapsed time.
Lane subtitle and metadataReviewed R 0.1.16 Number of proposals or stage description and recorded timing/usage where available.
Converging/diverging badgeReviewed R 0.1.16 Analyst's judgment for a refinement, when a compatible saved analysis supplies it. It is not calculated from edge thickness.
Proposal boxReviewed R 0.1.16 One recorded proposal, coloured by agent slot, with agent ID, model and step/origin summary. A selected badge marks the winning final proposal.
Colour strip at box footReviewed R 0.1.16 Proportion of that proposal's steps traced back to each introducing agent. It uses the same lineage as the contribution chart.
Barrier between roundsReviewed R 0.1.16 The wait-and-share boundary: a round finishes before the following round's calls start. The barrier is part of the collaboration architecture.
Flow lineReviewed R 0.1.16 A refined proposal has steps attributed to a preceding proposal. Thicker lines represent more such steps. Faint lines represent own-version retention.
Dot on a flowReviewed R 0.1.16 Number of attributed steps. Its popover lists destination step numbers/titles and source step numbers/titles.
Voter boxReviewed R 0.1.16 A saved voter and its model. Its information icon reveals settings, usage, choice and justification.
Vote arrowReviewed R 0.1.16 Connects a voter to its chosen proposal; winner-directed arrows are emphasized. This is an actual recorded choice.
Selected-plan boxReviewed R 0.1.16 Winner and vote/step summary, linking to Selected plan. It repeats the chosen proposal rather than a newly synthesized plan.
Input elementsReviewed R 0.1.16 Expandable JSON block above the diagram when stored input elements exist. In the current executor these are recorded context, not a separate model-input injection.
03

Trace a proposal's lineage

#

Hover a proposal box to highlight the path of its steps backwards and forwards. Upstream paths reveal where its matched steps came from; downstream paths reveal where those step lineages were carried. A highlighted edge's number can change to the subset relevant to that selected lineage, rather than every step on the edge.

Control Action
Click a proposal boxReviewed R 0.1.16 Keep that lineage selected. Click the same box again, Deselect, the empty diagram or Escape to clear selection.
Selected / Open proposalReviewed R 0.1.16 Shows the selected agent and opens its detailed proposal card.
↗ cornerReviewed R 0.1.16 Opens a proposal directly without relying on the lineage selection toolbar.
ⓘ on a proposalReviewed R 0.1.16 Opens model/settings, call usage, step-origin facts and optional analyst approach/assessment, changes, improvements and regressions.
Flow dotReviewed R 0.1.16 Hover or click for the concrete matched steps carried by the edge. Pinning this explanation is separate from selecting a lineage.
ⓘ on a voterReviewed R 0.1.16 Opens that recorded vote's choice and justification.
FitReviewed R 0.1.16 Fit the whole diagram in its viewport; this may make a large experiment's boxes small.
1:1Reviewed R 0.1.16 Restore the SVG's native size.
− / + / percentageReviewed R 0.1.16 Zoom out/in and display current scale.
Drag / ⌘ or Ctrl + wheelReviewed R 0.1.16 Pan the diagram or zoom around the pointer. Ordinary wheel scrolling moves the report.
Full screenReviewed R 0.1.16 Expand the diagram; Escape exits browser fullscreen. Popovers remain usable there.

Interpretation

#

The graph helps locate an influential-looking branch, a disappearing line of work or a proposal worth reading. It inherits title matching's limits: rewritten ideas may look new, similar titles may mask different content, and step splitting can duplicate a source assignment. “Introduced” means the earliest point found by this heuristic within this run, not intellectual originality.

Use the influence matrix for a pairwise view and attribution methods for the calculation. When no proposals were saved, the diagram is replaced by an unavailable/empty message. Missing analysis affects yellow interpretations, not the existence of the recorded process.
