Path-Dependency Auditor
Ki · Reasoning
The Problem
The project plan focuses on short-term utility, ignoring potential path confinement and irreversibility.
The Operation
This cognitive operation forces the model to trace prior choices constraining current options. For each decision, identify points of no return where later switching costs 5x+ current cost. If a choice eliminates 2+ viable future paths, flag high lock-in risk. Verify the decision-maker is aware of irreversibility. Output decision lineage, points of no return with switching costs, lock-in type, and recommendation to proceed, delay, or preserve optionality. The reasoning applies a formal computation: switching cost = sunk cost + transition cost + opportunity cost; per checkpoint=[near,mid,long]. The constraint: never confusing commitment with irreversible lock-in.
The Structure
Under the hood, the reasoning follows a chain of custody audit that traces the provenance of every claim. Execution cycles until the evidence set is fully consumed.
If a decision is evaluated without checking whether it forecloses valuable future options, path dependency auditing was skipped.

Cross-Domain Suppression
In Haki mode, the API retrieves the primary ability first, then fans out to three synergy roles that compound its reasoning.
When retrieved in Haki mode, the primary ability is augmented with failure guards extracted from 3 abilities in different cognitive domains. Each guard blocks a specific reasoning failure the primary alone wouldn't catch. A self-check forces verification before output. The result is cross-domain coverage that no single ability can reach alone.
