+ * (the "why?" board: suspects → influence meters → ablation stamps →
+ * chain-of-custody rewind).
+ *
+ * Pure mapping, no UI dependency — the BacktrackTrace interfaces below
+ * MIRROR agentthinkingui's `types/index.d.ts` contract; both sides are
+ * framework-agnostic JSON. The report carries everything except two
+ * things only the caller knows:
+ *
+ *   - `answer` (REQUIRED): the report localizes a decision but does not
+ *     hold the decision's output text — pass what the agent said/chose.
+ *   - `custody` (optional): the rewind player replays RECORDED STATE
+ *     (the assembled prompt, the mutating commit). That content lives in
+ *     the caller's artifacts (snapshot/events), not in the report — pass
+ *     a callback to enrich confirmed suspects with evidence panes.
+ *
+ * Honesty is preserved, not added: ranks are TRUE report positions even
+ * when the cards are a subset (`rank`), path-only scores carry
+ * `upperBound` (hatched meter + starred value in the UI), honesty flags
+ * map verbatim, and the claims-discipline lines ride along. The mapper
+ * never invents a causal claim: `verdict` exists only where the report's

+ *     no id enums, generic descriptions; the same shape `traceToolpack`
+ *     itself produces past the enum cap), so the tools can be mounted on
+ *     a skill before any run exists.
+ *   - EXECUTION resolves `resolve()` per call, builds the REAL toolpack
+ *     over the resolved artifacts (memoized by snapshot identity — one
+ *     index per completed run, not per call), and delegates through
+ *     `callTraceTool` so arg validation matches the eager path.
+ *

+/**
+ * selfExplain — the IN-CONVERSATION door over the agent's own trace.
+ *
+ * `.selfExplain()` on the builder mounts ONE skill plus ONE scoped tool
+ * provider. Day to day the tool catalog carries only the skill's
+ * activation row — the trace tools are NOT in the skill (skill `tools`
+ * land in the static registry, exposed every iteration); they ride a
+ * `skillScopedTools` provider gated on the skill's activation, composed
+ * with whatever provider the consumer already set. When the user asks a
+ * why-question the LLM activates the skill, and the NEXT iteration's
+ * catalog gains the trace tools, bound to the agent's own PREVIOUS
+ * COMPLETED run.
+ *
+ * The two pieces here:
+ *
+ * 1. `SelfExplainBinding` — the late-binding seam, a plain CombinedRecorder
+ *    attached like any consumer recorder (zero engine changes):
+ *
+ *      - capture at `onRunEnd`/`onRunFailed`: the just-finished run's
+ *        snapshot becomes the explainable evidence (a FAILED run is
+ *        still a completed trace — "why did you fail?" works);
+ *      - rotate at `onRunStart`: a FRESH ControlDepRecorder per run. The
+ *        retired instance never sees the new run's events, so its live
+ *        `asLookup()` survives Convention-4's runId reset — the captured
+ *        control edges stay valid for the whole next turn.
+ *
+ *    B13 safety lives here: `Agent.run()` reassigns its executor at run
+ *    START, so resolving artifacts mid-run through `getLastSnapshot()`
+ *    would expose the IN-FLIGHT run. Capturing only at terminal flush
+ *    means the binding can never serve anything but a completed run.
+ *
+ * 2. `buildSelfExplainSkill` — the skill in two modes:
+ *
+ *      - INLINE (default): the skill unlocks the 5 trace tools in the
+ *        main agent's own loop (same model).
+ *      - DELEGATE: the skill unlocks ONE tool — `explain_run(question)` —
+ *        whose execute runs a nested `traceDebugAgent` on the consumer's
+ *        chosen (cheaper) provider/model and returns its evidence-cited
+ *        answer. The main conversation pays for one tool call; the
+ *        trace-walking loop happens at the delegate's price. Loaded via
+ *        dynamic import so the builder never statically pulls Agent
+ *        through this module (no core ↔ lib cycle).
