Round 1 answers in parallel without seeing sibling takes; extra rounds are argument passes. Send shows the user bubble and thinking rows immediately, the composer border stays static, and the homepage has a collapsed own-keys strip.

  • Improvements
    • Added phase-specific English and Korean debate guidance.
    • Gemini is prioritized for verdict generation and document OCR.
    • Improved handling of failed or incomplete model responses.
    • Updated input focus styling for a cleaner interface.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified the independent response, rebuttal, and recommendation process.
    • Clarified Gemini key requirements for verdicts and document OCR.

Walkthrough

The debate engine now runs independent opening rounds in parallel, supports response-aware rebuttals, tracks multiple active providers, and passes phase-specific instructions to model APIs. The interface adds localized key entry and multi-provider typing indicators.

Changes

Debate flow and interface updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Debate phase contracts and prompts
src/app/api/chat/route.ts, src/lib/verdict-prompt.ts, src/lib/consensus-resolve.ts, src/__tests__/polish-truncated.test.ts, src/__tests__/verdict-prompt.test.ts, src/__tests__/consensus-resolve.test.ts
The chat API accepts opening and rebuttal phases with localized instructions. Verdict generation requires a steelman minority view. Consensus ordering starts with Gemini. Tests cover these behaviors.
Parallel rounds and request lifecycle
src/hooks/useDebateEngine.ts, src/types.ts
Opening requests run concurrently with isolated history and seeded placeholders. Rebuttals use prior model responses. Active controllers and typing state support multiple providers and collective cancellation. Incomplete placeholders are excluded from consensus.
Debate state and response validation
src/__tests__/debate-engine.test.ts
Tests cover failed responses, multi-provider typing actions, blind-round history, consensus provider selection, and consensus readiness.
Multi-model activity and key controls
src/app/page.tsx, src/components/ChatThread.tsx, src/components/WelcomeHero.tsx, src/components/SettingsModal.tsx
The page and chat thread render multiple typing providers. WelcomeHero adds localized client key entry and status handling. Settings explains Gemini key requirements for verdicts and OCR.
Input presentation and workflow description
src/components/MessageInput.tsx, README.md
The input uses static responsive borders. The workflow description reflects independent opening responses and optional rebuttal rounds.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to dcb91

This change can propagate failed or unusable provider responses into later debate rounds and may leave stale typing indicators after session replacement, leading to incorrect debate results or confusing UI state. The PR should not merge until these bounded correctness and state-management issues are addressed or explicitly accepted.

A missing-key response on one model no longer cancels the other three in-flight rows.
Consensus always tries the verdict model before panel fallbacks. Stop no longer treats thinking placeholders as finished answers.
Key inputs and show/hide buttons now use localized labels instead of placeholders and English-only aria text.

688-693: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Clear typing state when replacing an active session.

abortAll() aborts controllers but does not clear typingModels. When a new send omits a provider from the previous session, the old request cannot call TYPING_STOP because its session is no longer current. That provider can remain visible as a permanent thinking row in src/components/ChatThread.tsx (Lines 9-240). Dispatch TYPING_CLEAR when replacing the session, before starting new requests.

No change needed for this concern.

configured affects the input placeholder only inside {open && (...)}. Since open initializes to false on both server and client, the differing localStorage value does not change the hydrated markup.

Stop no longer treats error or cancelled bubbles as answers. A new send clears stale thinking indicators from the previous session.

Error and cancelled bubbles stay in the thread, but they are not sent as prior answers. Marker-only cancelled streams count as failed too.
