Not reachable without persistent memory.

Claude + Sentra
  1. Search Interactions tagged design-review, RFC, architecture, or technical-debate over the last 18 months.
  2. Evaluate semantic relevance to the pattern in question — concept match via embedding, not keyword.
  3. For each relevant Interaction: date, participants, per-Actor stance, final Decision (if reached), and Rationale.
  4. Aggregate per Actor — historical stance trajectory on the topic.
  5. Compose the timeline and stance map.

Agent prompt
You are checking whether {{pattern_or_idea}} has been debated before.

Using Sentra:

1. Search for decisions and discussions about design-review, RFC, architecture, or technical-debate.
2. For each, evaluate semantic relevance to {{pattern_or_idea}} — concept match, not keyword match.
3. For each relevant Interaction, extract: the date, the participants, the position each Actor took, the final Decision (if any), and the Rationale.
4. Aggregate per Actor — what each person's stance has historically been.

Output:

- A short intro: "this has / hasn't been debated before".
- If yes: timeline of prior debates, the final Decision (if reached), and the per-Actor stance map.
- Three things the proposer should address up front to avoid re-litigating settled ground.
