Real implementation requires human-in-the-loop # UI (per-sentence reassignment, cluster renaming, noise rescue) that # will be built in a subsequent round. # # When built, this node will: # 1. Read state.detection_result # 2. Present each cluster's representative sentences to the researcher # 3. Let the researcher reassign sentences / rename clusters / merge # or split clusters # 4. Write the refined clustering back to state.refinement_result # ============================================================================ def pattern_refinement_node(state): iteration = state.get("iteration", 0) return { "refinement_result": { "status": "placeholder", "note": ( "Step 2 of Nelson's framework (axial coding / Pattern " "Refinement) is not yet implemented.
