+## 6.71.0 · private test candidate
+
+- Meeting Ask answers come as labeled sections. The model returns `{"sections":[{"label","text"}],"searchQuery":null}` instead of free Markdown, and every answer leads with **So what**. Server only; additive to the 6.69.0 contract in `shared/meeting-ask.ts`. Pairs with the Meeting Ask polish round in COS Glasses and COS Control.
+  - Each action has its own labels, in this order. `catch_up`: So what, Decided, Open, You owe, Next. `summary`: So what, Covered, Decided, Open, Next. `actions`: So what, You owe, Others owe, Unowned, Proposed. `questions`: So what, then up to three Ask rows, each one question and one short reason. `ask`: So what, Details. "You asked" is the client's to render from the question; the model never writes it.
+  - The server checks every answer. Labels match regardless of case or a trailing colon and are written in their canonical case. Rows are put in the action's order. A repeated label joins into one row, except Ask, which keeps up to three. Empty rows and padding such as "None" or "n/a" are dropped. In a sections array, a label the action does not allow, a malformed row, more than 12 rows, or a missing or empty So what is 502 `invalid_answer`, as before, with no retry. Empty or non-JSON output is `invalid_answer` too.
+  - A reply in the 6.70.0 `{"answer":"..."}` shape still answers, because Codex, Cursor and Ollama can be picked for Meeting Ask. Its `**Label:** text` lines are read through the same rules; a line with no label continues the row above it. If that gives no valid So what (no labels, text above the first label, or a label the action does not allow), the whole answer becomes one So what row, line breaks kept, with the notice "This answer was not in the skim format." 
+  - **You owe** lists only actions the transcript ties to the wearer: a line spoken by "You", or one naming the wearer. The prompt now carries the wearer's profile name (`wearer`, null when unset) and the action's `labels`. A You owe row that cites no transcript passage is dropped; owners and dates are never guessed.
+  - Each section carries `sources`: the ids it cites (`T3`, `H1`, `W2`, `F1`), once each, in first-cited order. A citation to an id the evidence does not hold still reads `[source unavailable]` and is left out. Line breaks inside a row are flattened and secrets redacted per row.
+  - `answer` is still filled, as one `**Label:** text` paragraph per section (rows separated by a blank line, so CommonMark clients keep them apart) with inline citations kept, so older clients show the labeled look unchanged. `sections` is saved in the v2 journal and returned by `POST requests`, `GET requests/<id>`, `GET history`, and the legacy `POST /api/meetings/live-ask`. An answer kept in memory after a failed journal write keeps its sections too.
+- Catch me up reads the whole meeting. 6.70.0 read only the last 60 seconds. The task is now "Catch me up on the meeting so far." Long meetings keep the 32,000-character evidence budget, which samples across the whole recording, and its "selected passages" notice. A catch-up result is reused for at most one 10-second step of recording time; any new turn asks again.
+- `shared/meeting-ask.ts` adds helpers clients can import or copy: `MEETING_ASK_LABELS`, `meetingAskCitations`, `meetingAskAnswerMarkdown`, and `meetingAskFromLine` for the lens "From:" row. It returns null when an answer cites only this meeting, and otherwise one line of at most 80 characters, such as "the web, example.com", "COS memory", "earlier meeting, Sep 30 pricing sync" or "file, Q4 pricing.pdf". Only cited ids count; uncited results from the same web search do not.
+
 ## 6.70.0 — private test candidate
 
 - Meeting Ask public web search works for ordinary public questions. 6.69.0 withheld every search tried in the Oct 10 live test: "Who is alt coin daily?", "What's the latest news on our competitor Acme?" and the follow-up "Run the web search". Server only; no contract change. Works with COS Control 0.5.280 and later and COS Glasses 6.10.623 and later; COS Control 0.5.282 and COS Glasses 6.10.624 add a model control to the Ask chat.
