B condition: add post-essay general chat. After perfect_answer is shown, msg_input + send_btn become interactive; on_send builds messages from case + initial_argument + perfect_answer (NOT discussion_plan) and calls LLM. Logs each chat turn via SessionLogger.add_turn(manager_verdict=None).
UI parity with socratic/socratic-frame: (1) hide Gradio Chatbot top chrome via show_label=False + CSS for share/clear/delete/trash; (2) strip the '# Case: ...' H1 from the initial chatbot message via display-only CASE_TEXT_DISPLAY; (3) hide the left yellow feedback-hint column (guide-col visible=False) so chatbot expands left, and drop the bottom-row mirror column to keep action buttons aligned under right-col.
