The caption under a figure in a session was the image library's own
description, and a library description is written to catalogue an image:
"an X-ray of a child's pelvis and hips, showing abnormalities in the
right hip joint" is a fine catalogue entry and a complete giveaway under
a stem about a limping five-year-old. One line in figure_json fell back
to it, and every one of the 343 figures in the bank was inheriting one —
338 of them on stems, read before the question was answered. Not one
figure had a caption of its own.
So a figure carries what the question says about it and nothing else.
The caption and the label are set on the question, when the image is
attached; most question figures want neither, and now show neither. The
catalogue title went with it — nothing rendered it, and it gives the
same thing away over the wire.
The second route in was the viewer: an image written into a stem as
markdown opens a panel that fetches what the library knows and prints
it. Inside an attempt it no longer asks. In the library, in an article,
in review of the image itself, the description is still the
description.
Also: no PMID links. A reference list says what was read; it is not a
set of doors out of the article. The number is there to look up, as
text.
And a drawer's own button is a cross. It kept the ☰ that opened it while
covering the screen, which reads as a second menu rather than the way
out of the one in front of you.

Reading shows nobody drafts, not even an admin. An educator's unfinished
work sat among the published shelf with a tag on it, which made Reading
and Editorial two views of one list and left you unsure which you were
looking at. The list is published-only for everybody now, and the tag
and its style are gone with it — the badge stays on an article's own
page, where a draft can still be opened.
And Editorial has its own URL. /editorial/articles/:id renders the same
page, but the crumb reads "Editorial" and goes back to the queue.
Opening an article from the queue used to land on Reading's address, so
the only way out was the top of the published library — you lost your
place in the queue to look at one draft. Drafting from the reading page
lands there too, because a new draft is editorial work from the moment
it exists.
References from PubMed are fields, not a sentence. Every other
reference on an article is {title, author, pages} and the reader reads
those keys, so the flat line the PubMed path wrote drew as six blank
rows under a References heading: the DKA draft cited six real papers
and appeared to cite none. A paper now fills journal, year and PMID
instead of pages, and the PMID is a link to the record. Rows written
before this pull themselves apart on the way out rather than being
rewritten in the database, so the drafts that already exist heal
themselves.
Repeat session has never worked. The dialog asked the bank for mode
"study" — the name of the route it lands on — and the bank has "timed"
and "learning", so every repeat came back 422 and the dialog reported
its own house message, "Could not build that session", because the
detail was a list rather than a string. Both fixed: the right mode, and
a server that says something is quoted rather than swallowed.
And the objective named in "your performance analysis for Pediatrics
Boards" opens the objective picker. It was a link to the account page.

**Two sources an AI draft can draw on**, both off until an administrator turns
them on, both appended to the prompt as extra material rather than woven into
it — so a draft with nothing to draw on is byte-for-byte the draft that has
been working well.
- *The clinical library.* The indexed shelf the clinical assistant already
searches, over MCP on the internal network. Ported from ped-ai: sessions are
reused, a dead one is reopened once, and a library that cannot be reached
never fails the article — it just means the educator is writing without it,
and the progress line says so.
- *PubMed.* NCBI's E-utilities, no key required. Ported whole, including the
two lessons that cost somebody an afternoon over there: PubMed ANDs every
term, so "bronchiolitis management in infants" can find nothing where
"bronchiolitis management" finds six — hence the query ladder — and three
esearch calls in a row will trip the rate limit, hence the spacing. The
reference list is written from the records rather than by the model, so every
line is a paper that exists with a PMID somebody can look up.
Measured on the live stack: 24 excerpts, 6 papers, 6 references, 6 in-text
citations, in one draft.
**The card system, which turned out to be half-built:**
- There was no way to make a deck by hand, and no way to edit a card at all —
you could browse, view and delete. Both are there now, the editor taking
front, back and a picture.
- Filing, writing, sharing and deleting are all educator work now, behind one
named gate rather than four scattered checks. A learner studies.
- A deck generated from an article inherits that article's category instead of
landing in Uncategorized for somebody to file by hand.
- A link inside a card previewed instead of going. A card is a box a few lines
tall, often inside a flipping panel, and a hover card anchored in one is
clipped by it — so the link read as broken because clicking it did nothing.
Where there is no room to preview, the honest behaviour is to take you there.
**An AI draft belonged to no editorial queue.** Nothing set `generated_by`, so
a drafted article was neither "generated, unread" nor anything else: the tile
counted it and there was nowhere to click. Drafts are stamped with the model
that wrote them, and there is now a plain Drafts queue that cannot be fallen
through.
**The sign-in code email** is laid out rather than written: the code is the
biggest thing on the screen, then which account it signs into, then a way back
to the page, then permission to ignore the whole thing.
Also: a back link out of a deck, in the same words as the rest of the app.
