+/**
+ * Asking a decision model which session the person means (the "find" route, Control 0.5.363).
+ *
+ * The shape, measured on 20 real queries over 332 of the owner's sessions (CANARY_meaning_search_2026-11-01):
+ *   - ONE Choice over the newest 254 sessions, each shown as its title and the first 150 characters of its first prompt,
+ *     plus `none`. Jev put the right session in the top three 19 times in 20. A Choice sums to 1, so it names one winner.
+ *   - A second Choice over the next 254 when the top row of the first is not already Strong. The two are merged by raw
+ *     probability. `none` is read only after the LAST request and the lowest of them counts: the first request holds
+ *     `none` at 0.83 for a session that is in the second (validated 2026-11-01, query 19).
+ *   - The "view of several sessions in order of likelihood" the owner asked for: the top 12 of the merge go through
+ *     independent yes/no questions (about 1,300 tokens). Those probabilities do not sum to 1, so two sessions that are both
+ *     right can both be high, and they order the rows and set the bands.
+ *   - Identical text collapses into one option before it is asked. A fork carries its parent's first prompt, and two options
+ *     with the same words split the mass between them (0.28 and 0.23 for the right pair, with an unrelated session at 0.25
+ *     in between). The one option's probability is the sum, and each member shows it.
+ *
+ * Session text is untrusted. It reaches the model only as an option or as a quoted session in a question, the answer is a
+ * probability, and the instructions say the options are data. A probability can still be bent by a first prompt written
+ * to bend it (the injection canary reports how far), and the worst that does is put the wrong session in a list the person
+ * picks from: nothing here opens, sends or runs anything.
+ *
+ * A request already sent is never aborted: it is billed whether or not anyone waits, so a closed connection only stops the
+ * stages that have not started. Logs carry counts and fixed words; the query and the sessions never reach a log line.

+ * Floors and bands, per provider, in one place so they are easy to move. `floor` is the least probability a row may have to be
+ * shown; `likely` and `strong` start the bands above it. `skipSecondAt` is the raw Choice probability of the top row that makes
+ * the second request unnecessary. `rerankMinRaw` is the raw probability under which a session is not worth a yes/no question
+ * (a search whose best session sits under it shows nothing and spends nothing more). `abstainNone` is the lowest `none`, across the requests of one search, that reads as "nothing here" (Jev: 0.87 to 1.00 on every query with no answer). `rerank` is whether the yes/no step is
+ * used for this provider; where it is off, rows are the Choice probabilities and the same floor and bands apply to them.
+ *
+ * JEV, from the re-run of the 20 canary queries through the real route on this Mac's own pool (2026-11-01, see
+ * docs/decision-providers.md): the right session was first in 19 of 20 and in the top three in 19 of 20 (the one miss names a
+ * category, "the editor", for a product, "Cursor", and no method found it). Its yes/no probability was 0.44 to 0.88; no row
+ * above 0.6 was wrong (14 of 14 right). On the 7 queries with no answer, `none` was 0.87 to 1.00, so the abstain rule fired on
+ * all 7; asked anyway, the yes/no round put the best of 12 at 0.08 to 0.28. Between 0.30 and 0.40 there were 0 right and 8 wrong rows and the lowest right answer was 0.44, so the floor is 0.40.
+ * SUBQ is NOT measured on this path. Its numbers are the canary's small sample (right answers 0.75 to 1.00, a wrong top row at
+ * 0.70) and the Choice alone, with the yes/no round off until it has been run against SubQ. They are a starting point.
