## Execution Log
| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2026-03-07 | Sprint created from operator feedback that the search surface still teaches too much of Stella instead of simply helping. | Project Manager |
| 2026-03-07 | Removed domain-guide and quick-link empty-state panels, collapsed starters into a single executable list, kept only recent successful history plus page context, and verified with targeted Angular tests and the full search Playwright pack including live Doctor ingestion. | Developer |
## Decisions & Risks
- Decision: the empty state should help the operator start, not explain Stella's information architecture.

- Fail fast when corpus rebuild/readiness is missing so dead suggestions are treated as setup failures, not flaky UI tests.
## Current state
- Implemented before the corrective phases: explicit scope/mode/recovery controls were removed from the main search flow, implicit current-scope weighting and overflow contracts were added, and suggestion viability preflight now suppresses dead chips before render.
- Implemented from the corrective phases: search now opens AdvisoryAI through a shell-level drawer with no route jump, restores focus back to search when the drawer closes, and removes visible assistant mode framing.
- Implemented from the corrective phases: the empty state no longer teaches Stella taxonomy through domain guides or quick links; it now keeps only current-page context, successful recent searches, and executable starter chips.
- Implemented before and during the corrective phases: explicit scope/mode/recovery controls were removed from the main search flow, implicit current-scope weighting and overflow contracts were added, and suggestion viability preflight now suppresses dead chips before render.
- Implemented before the corrective phases: the live Doctor suggestion suite now rebuilds the active corpus, fails on empty knowledge projections, iterates every surfaced suggestion, and verifies Ask-AdvisoryAI inherits the live search context.
- Still pending from the corrective phases: shell-level assistant unification, assistant de-mode-ing, empty-state collapse, broader live-page matrices, and explicit client-side telemetry opt-out.
- Still pending from the corrective phases: broader live-page matrices, stronger backend ranking/blending refinement across more domains, and explicit client-side telemetry opt-out.
