# Research Spec: GNN Decoder Topology — Track 4
#
# Tests tree-aware decoding: giving the decoder the actual AST edge structure
# instead of sequential chain edges.  Three modes:
#   - chain:          Legacy baseline (0→1→2→…)
#   - teacher_forced: Ground-truth AST edges during GNN message passing
#   - iterative:      Two-pass: chain→predict parents→rebuild tree→refine
#
# The hypothesis: the decoder's GNN never sees tree topology, so it cannot
# learn structure-sensitive generation.  Providing real edges should improve
# parent prediction accuracy and node-type diversity.
#
# Launch:
#   ratiocinator research specs/gnn_topology.yaml

# What to research
topic: "Decoder topology for GNN code generation: does giving the decoder the real AST tree structure (instead of sequential chain edges) improve reconstruction?  Compare chain baseline, teacher-forced ground-truth edges, and iterative predict-then-refine.  Cross with GAT/GCN/GIN decoder architectures and improved/comprehensive loss functions."
