 ## Empty decks and scoped generation
 
 Generation displays progress and elapsed time on stderr and saves at most **100 new or updated cards per run**. Existing cards are retained. Use `flashlearn generate --copilot` to explicitly select Copilot (`auto` with fast routing), or `--copilot-model <name>` to select a model; either overrides endpoint environment configuration. Interactive Copilot acceptance uses `auto` without another prompt.
 
-Generation first excludes dependency/license copies, hidden agent tooling, tests and process docs. It prioritizes README and linked architecture/glossary docs, then groups important code by subsystem. All AI providers use up to eight parallel batches of four files, 7,000-character excerpts, and 45-second timeouts. AI questions cite evidence from code or documentation and are ranked for understanding, diversity and reduced redundancy. Documentation claims are labeled, including aspirational design caveats. Evidence matching is not a factual correctness guarantee. Failed/empty batches are reported; no deterministic filler pads the deck to 100. Offline mode provides labeled section/doc-comment recall. Duration still depends on repository size and provider latency.

It prioritizes README and linked architecture/glossary docs, then groups important code by subsystem. All AI providers use up to eight parallel batches of four files and 7,000-character excerpts.

+
+The LLM then organizes accepted cards into learning categories, also allowing 15 minutes per attempt (one repair attempt for invalid grouping). Labels are saved as card tags and used by the topic chooser. Each category must contain at least five cards, with every card assigned exactly once. Completed AI batches and categories are checkpointed in `.flashlearn/generation/` until card persistence completes. Repeat the same command with the same provider/model/scope to resume unfinished work; category failures do not discard generated candidates. Changed source content invalidates stale work. Use `generate --fresh` to start over explicitly. No API keys are persisted. Unfinished cards do not appear in the study deck. Existing untagged cards and offline deterministic runs continue to use directory-derived topics.
 
 If `start` finds an empty deck, an interactive terminal asks whether to generate
 cards first (default no), noting that a configured AI endpoint may be used.

+
+Run `flashlearn review --project /path/to/repository` to review in a multiple-choice TUI.
+Choose a numbered answer (1–4) from up to four shuffled deck answers, with same-topic
+or same-source alternatives preferred. Feedback reveals the correct answer and source;
+the result automatically saves as correct or incorrect. A confirmed save shows the
+next due date; Enter/Space continues. Q, Ctrl+C, or Ctrl+D quits. Quitting before
+selection leaves the current card unchanged. Decks need at least two distinct,
+nonempty answers; otherwise the session asks you to generate more cards and ends
+without scoring. Alternatives come from the deck rather than invented distractors.
+
+Sessions save up to 12 reviews, including immediately due repeats, using the
+same learning engine and `.flashlearn/review.json` as browser study. Future cards
+are excluded. Empty decks require `generate` first; a deck with nothing due reports
+“All caught up.” Save errors stop the session and exit 1. Interactive stdin and
+stderr are required. Terminal review needs no server or model calls.

-Setting both `FLASHLEARN_ENDPOINT_URL` and `FLASHLEARN_ENDPOINT_MODEL` enables a
-chat-completions endpoint. Otherwise, interactive generation detects GitHub Copilot
-CLI and asks before using `copilot -p`, then offers OpenAI, Claude, custom endpoint,
-or deterministic extraction. Prompted API keys are held only for that command and
-are never persisted. Non-interactive runs clearly fall back to deterministic
-generation. Any selected AI provider receives code; its access controls and
-retention policy are separate from local repository permissions.
+Generation starts with an **INFERENCE SOURCE** step. Setting both
+`FLASHLEARN_ENDPOINT_URL` and `FLASHLEARN_ENDPOINT_MODEL` selects the configured
+chat-completions endpoint. Otherwise, one menu offers Copilot (with PATH detection),
+OpenAI, Claude, custom endpoint, or offline heuristic.
+Copilot is the first/default choice when detected: press Enter to use it. Without
+Copilot, Enter selects heuristic. Noninteractive input never accepts the AI default.
+Use
+`generate --inference-source openai|claude|custom|heuristic|copilot` to override the
+source for a command. OpenAI/Claude prompt for a masked API key and model; custom
+accepts a full HTTP(S) chat-completions URL, model, optional key and authentication
+header. Prompted keys stay in memory only. Blank required settings cancel to
+offline; invalid URLs or source names fail with guidance. Noninteractive runs
+without configured inference use offline extraction. AI providers receive source
+excerpts under their own access controls and retention policies.
+
+Offline heuristic cards use complete definitions, explanatory paragraphs and code
+comments. Procedural sections, badges, tool/demo docs and dangling fragments are
+omitted. Answers are extracted from source rather than synthesized; this mode
+has no LLM categories and may produce a smaller deck.
