+# Begrenzte Formatrettung in der Hypothesenuntersuchung
+
+Die versionierte Untersuchungspolicy `response_recovery_version = 1` aktiviert
+zwei Mechanismen. Das schlanke Testprofil aktiviert diese Version ausdrücklich;
+der Standardwert 0 und alte gespeicherte Policies behalten das bisherige Verhalten.
+Andere Analysephasen werden nicht umgestellt. `docs/architecture.md` bleibt
+unverändert: Es wird weiterhin ausschließlich eine vollständig validierte Antwort
+atomar verarbeitet, niemals ein herausgelöster gültiger Rechercheauftrag neben
+ungültigen Zustandsänderungen.
+
+## Deterministische Normalisierung
+
+Die Anfrage trägt den Schema-Marker `x-viano-response-recovery: 1`. Nur markierte
+Investigation-Aufrufe erhalten die folgenden Regeln:
+
+- Ein einzelner äußerer Markdown-Codeblock ohne Sprachangabe oder mit `json`
+  wird entfernt. Zusätzliche Prosa und beliebige JSON-Syntaxfehler werden nicht
+  repariert. Doppelte Schlüssel bleiben ungültig.
+- Ein einmal JSON-kodiertes Objekt wird streng dekodiert: als gesamte Antwort
+  oder an bekannten Objektstellen wie `next.arguments` und einem Belegobjekt.
+  Freie Texte werden nicht in fachliche Objekte umgedeutet.
+- Primitive DB-Filter `["id","eq",1]` oder
+  `["column","id","operator","eq","value",1]` werden bei eindeutig gültigem
+  Spaltennamen und bekanntem Operator zu
+  `[{"column":"id","operator":"eq","value":1}]` normalisiert. Die Werte
+  bleiben unverändert; Tabellen, Spalten, Operatoren und Grenzen werden danach
+  weiterhin durch den vollständigen Werkzeugvertrag geprüft.
+
+Originaldarstellung, normalisierte Antwort und angewandte Regeln werden im
+append-only LLM-Aufruf gespeichert. Rohtexte befinden sich ausschließlich im
+Paket-Audit, nicht in Fehlerdiagnosen oder Logs. Erst nach vollständiger Schema-,
+Beleg-, Budget- und Toolprüfung wird eine Aktion ausgeführt. Ein kurzer Hinweis
+auf die Normalisierung wird im nächsten regulären Aufruf mitgegeben, ohne einen
+zusätzlichen Korrekturaufruf zu erzeugen.
+
+## Kleiner LLM-Reparaturaufruf
+
+Verbleibende, ausdrücklich zugelassene Container-Typfehler können einen
+`investigation_format_repair_v1`-Aufruf erzeugen. Er enthält die bereits generierte
+Antwort, den Fehlerpfad, den betroffenen Schemaausschnitt und wenige Bindungsdaten
+(Hypothese, vorheriges Ergebnis und sichtbare E-IDs). Er enthält keine erneute
+Fallinterpretation, Codehistorie, Rohbelege oder allgemeinen Rechercheanweisungen.
+
+Die LLM gibt ausschließlich `replacement` für genau diesen Strukturpfad zurück.
+Das Programm setzt die Antwort selbst zusammen. Alle skalaren Werte müssen samt
+Typ und Häufigkeit erhalten bleiben; vorhandene benannte skalare Zuordnungen
+dürfen nicht verschwinden. Bei erkennbaren Filtertripeln bleiben außerdem die
+Positionen von Spalte, Operator und Wert verbindlich; ein Tausch gleichartiger
+Strings zwischen Spalte und Wert wird abgelehnt. Außerhalb des Pfads bleibt die Antwort exakt gleich.
+Die vollständige rekonstruierte Antwort wird anschließend erneut gegen den
+ursprünglichen fachlichen Vertrag geprüft. Quelle, Hash, Patch und rekonstruierte
+Antwort bleiben über Checkpoints auch nach Paketwiederaufnahme nachvollziehbar.
+
+Erfundene Belege, unbekannte Aktionen, Confidence-Änderungen und nicht eindeutig
+strukturbezogene Fehler werden damit nicht legitimiert. Ein bloßer Prosasatz
+anstelle eines Belegobjekts lässt sich beispielsweise nicht ohne erfundene
+ID-/Rollen-/Referenzangaben vervollständigen und erhält keine solche Reparatur.
+Ein Änderungsvorschlag mit anderen Abfragewerten wird abgelehnt. Bestehende
+Invalid-Response-Limits gelten auch für Reparaturversuche. Transportfehler behalten
+die vorhandenen Failover-/Retry-Regeln. Nicht unterstützte Fehler bleiben im
+bisherigen kontrollierten Ablehnungspfad.
+
+## Grenzen und Aktivierung
+
+Die Formatrettung ist auf 65.536 UTF-8-Bytes Antwort-/Reparaturdaten sowie 16
+Normalisierungen begrenzt. Das sind Sicherheitsgrenzen dieses versionierten
+Mechanismus, keine Grenzen des Case-Paketformats. Größere Antworten werden nicht
+für einen Reparaturaufruf dupliziert. Zu große oder nicht reparierbare Antworten
+werden nicht abgeschnitten oder teilweise ausgeführt.
+
+Neue Untersuchungen müssen die Policy initialisieren. Eine laufende Untersuchung
+wird nicht still auf eine andere Policy umgestellt. Historische Kontexte ohne
+Marker, Audit oder Reparaturdescriptor ergeben unveränderte Prompts.
+
+Lokale Tests decken Originalerhaltung, einmalige Ausführung, Hinweise ohne
+Extraaufruf, Wiederaufnahme und die Ablehnung geänderter Abfragewerte sowie
+unbekannter Aktionen/Belege ab. Ein gezielter Reparaturprompt bleibt im geprüften
+Fixture bei 2.199 statt 10.353 Zeichen des normalen Untersuchungsaufrufs. Das ist keine
+allgemeine Kosten- oder Qualitätsgarantie; bezahlte Tests erfolgen separat.
