+# Human-led conversation learning
+
+## Purpose
+
+The loop learns from the decision that caused a useful outcome, not merely from the last AI message before it. Manual interventions are first-class evidence because an operator may repair tone, timing, boundaries, or a media invitation before a recipient shares an image.
+
+## Pipeline and gates
+
+```text
+authoritative Matrix timeline
+  -> event attribution (exact > fingerprint > inferred)
+  -> outcome trajectory and causal credit
+  -> identifier-redacted decision examples
+  -> maturity / review / invalidation gates
+  -> account-scoped, quota-controlled retrieval
+  -> shadow audit or injected prompt context
+  -> offline evaluation record
+```
+
+Capture and use are independent. The default configuration captures and audits retrieval in shadow mode, but cannot affect generated replies. Injection requires both `generationEnabled: true` and `shadowMode: false`.
+
+## Attribution and credit
+
+Authoritative Matrix event IDs link openers, automated claims, dashboard manual sends, and exchange-library sends. Fingerprints support legacy backfill only. An unmatched outbound event is human-owned for the automation safety boundary, but inferred learning is held back when exact attribution is required.
+
+Credit classes are:
+
+- `human-created-success`: the human introduced the successful decision.
+- `human-improved-success`: AI attempted the step and the human replaced or improved it.
+- `human-completed-ai-trajectory`: the human intervention helped complete an AI-started exchange without directly making the media ask.
+- `autonomous-success`: the bounded automated policy made the attributed ask.
+- `recipient-initiated-media`: media arrived without an attributed ask.
+- `uncertain`: provenance is insufficient for causal use.
+
+Image receipt does not override a decline, boundary, or upsell outcome. Those outcomes invalidate the trajectory and all derived decisions. Operator exclusion is sticky across re-sync; explicit inclusion can reverse review/exclusion, but cannot resurrect an invalidated safety outcome.
+
+## Retrieval and evaluation
+
+Retrieval stays within the owning account, excludes the current room, filters confidence, prefers the same policy/stage/community, and fills separate human and autonomous quotas. Stored context is bounded and redacted. The generation ledger stores selected decision IDs, mode, policy version, and an optional prompt hash—not prompt text.
+
+`npm run learning:eval -- --db <path> --policy <version>` versions the current eligible dataset and enforces hard gates for leaked identifiers, invalid decision states, and empty outputs. Evaluation is deliberately local and deterministic. More subjective pairwise or model-graded evaluation can be added behind the same saved-run contract.
+
+## Infrastructure and framework boundary
+
+No new Dokploy service is required. SQLite, the existing backend, Matrix synchronization, OpenRouter client, and React dashboard are sufficient. Deployment needs only the normal application image plus a database backup before the migration; it does not require a vector database, queue, object store, or hosted tracing system.
+
+The repository/provider/evaluation interfaces are the framework seams. A hosted platform such as Langfuse or an experiment tool can later receive generation and evaluation records, and DSPy-style optimization or model fine-tuning can consume exported reviewed examples. None is placed in the online reply path until volume, evaluation quality, and operational need justify the extra infrastructure.
+
+## Rollout
+
+1. Deploy with capture enabled, generation disabled, and shadow mode enabled.
+2. Run a full chat sync to backfill authoritative histories.
+3. Review inferred and fingerprint-attributed trajectories in `/learning`.
+4. Let examples mature and run the offline evaluation against a backup/non-production copy.
+5. Compare human, autonomous, and recipient-initiated cohorts; do not blend them into the opener strategy metric.
+6. Enable generation while retaining shadow mode to exercise selection/auditing.
+7. Only after review and evaluation, turn shadow mode off for a small account/policy cohort; rollback is setting it true again.
+
+Starting, restarting, deploying, or enabling the live bot remains a separate explicit operational action.

 Avoid converting errors into generic skips. Operational diagnosis depends on preserving which stage failed and why.
+## Human learning loop
+
+After a room has an authoritative Matrix timeline, `ChatService` records the canonical response outcome and invokes the account-scoped learning observer. The observer:
+
+1. reconciles opener, automation-claim, exchange-library, manual-dashboard, recipient, and legacy events;
+2. stores text-minimising event provenance with an attribution confidence;
+3. finds received-image outcomes and the manual decisions that preceded them;
+4. assigns human-created, human-improved, human-completed, autonomous, recipient-initiated, or uncertain credit;
+5. stores bounded, identifier-redacted decision context; and
+6. leaves new trajectories provisional until the maturity window passes.
+
+Full chat synchronization naturally backfills older rooms. Upserts are keyed by account, room, and outcome event, so the pass is repeatable. A later negative canonical outcome invalidates both the trajectory and every derived decision.
+
+Retrieval is account-scoped and excludes the current conversation. It uses explicit human and autonomous quotas, same-policy/stage preference, confidence filtering, and a generation audit ledger. With the default configuration it runs in shadow mode: selected IDs are recorded but examples are not put into the prompt.

+### Human-led conversation learning
+
+A received image is an outcome, not proof that the preceding AI action caused it. The learning loop therefore attributes every Matrix event before extracting an example and gives manual interventions their own credit classes: human-created, human-improved, and human-completed AI trajectories. Autonomous and recipient-initiated outcomes remain separate comparison cohorts.
+
+Only privacy-redacted decision context is retained as learning material. Media bytes, private attachment paths, raw prompts, usernames, URLs, email addresses, and phone numbers are not copied into examples. Exact Matrix event IDs are preferred; fingerprint or inferred histories are held for review according to `learning.minimumAttributionConfidence`.
+
+Examples mature only after the configured delay. Later declines, boundaries, or upsell classifications revoke the trajectory. An operator can explicitly include or exclude a trajectory in **Learning review**. Generation use is independently gated and defaults to capture-only shadow mode, so collecting evidence cannot silently change live replies.
