Decisions and risks

Decision	Alternative	Product reason / remaining risk
Whole-token AND search with selectable fields	Semantic ranking or fuzzy substring	Matching reasons remain reproducible; spelling and phrase variation can miss assets.
Directional bike → bike/bicycle	Large hidden thesaurus	One visible expansion is understandable; terminology coverage is intentionally small.
One-record controlled tag correction	Automated bulk inference	Preserves original evidence and scope; editor judgment could still be wrong.
Fixed relevance labels	Relabel after intervention	Prevents moving the evaluation goal; author labels require human critique.
Drawer with focus	Another management dashboard	Keeps asset intent central; long evidence scrolls inside the drawer.
Single previous search view	Persist every view or multi-step history	Recovery is reversible and bounded; refresh deliberately starts default search.
Journal replay and raw-byte preview guard	Trust revision number only	Same-revision external edits cannot be silently overwritten; readable conflicts require reload or reset.
Memory continuity when storage fails	Block the whole experience	Useful tab remains usable with honest warning; persistence is unverified and refresh may lose work.
Latest-edit inverse Undo	Restore whole snapshot	Unrelated metadata is untouched; toggling Undo again redoes the latest inverse and appends history.
Explicit destructive reset without Undo	Restore invalid raw storage	Invalid bytes are preserved until reset; reset permanently discards saved edits/history.

Choices are visibly provisional until proposed human evaluation. No research, commercial result or manual-coding claim is implied. Release status is maintained in Validation.md.

When saved storage cannot be read, durable writes are not attempted even if writing would succeed. Confirmed edits and reset affect memory only; unseen saved bytes remain intact. The review explicitly discloses this boundary.
