Day 2 UI v2 Infinite Context Smoke

Date: 2026-06-08

Goal

Verify that the canvas can keep stacking beyond the first idea card, and that a short second iteration keeps the original idea plus prior iteration context instead of failing the model quality gate.

Local Model

• Endpoint: http://localhost:11434/v1
• Model: openbmb/minicpm4.1
• Thinking: enabled with IRIS_ENABLE_THINKING=1

Browser Smoke

App URL: http://127.0.0.1:7860

Flow tested:

1. Created a fresh idea frame on the canvas.
2. Submitted: A simple tool rental board for neighbors sharing drills and ladders.
3. MiniCPM returned 4 pressure cards.
4. Submitted second iteration: Focus on roommates borrowing from the original neighbor board first.
5. MiniCPM returned 4 more pressure cards.

Observed result:

• Frame reached Depth 02.
• Total live AI pressure cards: 8.
• Editable third idea card appeared.
• No model error card appeared.
• The second pressure set was anchored on the current iteration with roommate / borrowing language.

Quality note:

• The canvas path now keeps original idea + current iteration + iteration history in the model prompt.
• Prior pressure cards are passed as forbidden prior pressure context, not as idea text to imitate.
• If a UI direction exhausts retries only because it is still too similar to a prior pressure, the canvas accepts the final model-authored card rather than breaking the stack. Hard format, advice-language, and current-iteration grounding checks still fail closed.

Automated Checks

• python3 -m unittest discover -s tests passed.
• python3 -m compileall iris tests app.py passed.
