The v1.3.0 saturation termination silently capped the search after only
the heuristic-favored part of the tree, leaving most per-set ceiling cells
stuck at "0 specs" and hiding genuinely-feasible 3-spec plans in
maximize-count mode. Replace with full exhaustive enumeration plus a
batch of UX refinements that emerged during testing.
Algorithm:
- Drop the saturation early-termination entirely. Search now runs the
full open-set cartesian product to completion; the iteration cap is
also removed so no scenario exits partial.
- Add mode-dependent DFS child ordering: priority-order keeps the
priority-target-first heuristic; maximize-count orders children by
descending count of qualifications for reachable specs (generalist
courses tried first).
- Make the (count, priorityScore) comparator mode-aware: priority-order
ranks by (priorityScore, count) so the user's top spec surfaces;
maximize-count ranks by (count, priorityScore) so the highest count
wins. The same rule drives both top-K position and per-cell ceiling
selection (and the Recommended badge).
- Add an evaluated boolean to each ChoiceOutcome and set it on first
leaf evaluation. Distinguishes "still searching" from "evaluated, no
specs achieved" so the UI never shows misleading 0 specs for a cell
the search hasn't reached yet.
- Throttled progress events (~100ms) carrying iterations / total leaf
count, drive both the per-set spinner and the global progress bar.
UI:
- Top Plans header shows a horizontal progress bar with
"iterations / total · NN%" while the search runs; collapses to
"Search complete · N explored" on completion.
- Per-set spinner next to each elective set heading while any choice
in that set is unevaluated.
- Per-cell pulsing dot + "searching" text for unevaluated cells.
- Replace the "(HCR, BNK, ...)" text labels on each course with
color-coded SpecTag pills using a new fixed per-spec palette
(app/src/data/specColors.ts). Same palette applied to the Top Plans
achievement badges so the two views are visually consistent.
- "Top outcome if picked ↓" caption above the right side of each open
elective set so the spec tags are clearly identified as decision-tree
outcomes (not the course's own qualifications).
- Recommended badge moved inline next to the course name (instead of
on a separate row below) to keep button heights stable.
Tests:
- Replace the saturation early-termination test with an exhaustion test
asserting every cell ends with evaluated: true and partial: false.
- Add mode-dependent ordering test (max-count visits Climate Finance
before Corporate Governance in fall3).
- Add evaluated-flag transition test.
- Add throttled progress-event test (>= ~100ms between consecutive
emits).
- Performance smoke updated to a 60s budget for the exhaustive
user-scenario search; 8-open-set typical case completes in ~7s.
