+// extension/shared/tutor-engine.js - the tutor itself, running inside the
+// browser extension's background worker (the "extension" runtime): no relay
+// server, no companion process. It takes captures and Tutor-panel messages,
+// decides what the tutor is sent, talks to the backend and publishes the
+// conversation into an event hub (event-hub.js) that the panels follow.
+//
+// The rules are the companion's, built on the same shared modules:
+//   - code-ledger.js decides what the tutor is sent: a Run is only recorded,
+//     never sent; a Submit is sent only when its code differs from what the
+//     tutor last saw; every request carries the current full code (pinned by
+//     the backend) and a message leads with a numbered diff of what changed;
+//     what the tutor saw advances only once the backend answered.
+//   - Every backend is stateless or rebuilds from its own record, and a
+//     backend swap moves the conversation to the new one
+//     (conversation.js), so a model switch keeps the chat and the code.
+//   - The active problem is whichever one the student last sent a message,
+//     Run or Submit from. Activity on another problem (with autoClearContext
+//     on, the default) resets the backend's context, drops the old problem
+//     from the ledger and its buffered chat from the hub, and says so in the
+//     panel.
+//   - Every capture, message, reset and settings swap runs in one queue, so a
+//     reset or a swap never lands in the middle of a backend call.
+//   - Every reply goes through the post-check guard (reply-guard.js, the
+//     companion uses the same one): rule repairs everywhere, hint and stuck
+//     replies held and re-asked once when broken, other replies released
+//     sentence by sentence with broken parts dropped.
+//   - Message limits match the relay's (relay-server/panel-broker.js): 8000
+//     characters of text, 100,000 of snapshot code, 50,000 of description.
+// Nothing is persisted: the conversation lives in memory only, and the
+// capture log the relay keeps (captures.jsonl) has no counterpart here.
+//
+// Pure JavaScript with no Node API (extension/shared.test.js checks that).
+// The browser wiring (ports, storage, permissions) is in background.js.

+By default, discuss only ideas the student named or used in code. Never volunteer another method, hint, strategy, formula, data structure, topic label, target complexity, edge case or solution. Explicit requests override this: "better way" or "other methods" gets a real alternative: name it and explain the idea in a few sentences (no hint or refusal), then offer more; no code block or walkthrough unless asked.

A first hint is the smallest nudge: one question about what their code does or repeats, or one input property, never an edge case their code handles, never naming a data structure, complexity, "one pass" or "constant time". Each later hint builds on the previous one, one notch more concrete, about their actual code, in plain words, never code or a plan.
+
+For a correctness or bug question, even yes/no, state the fault and a concrete failing input or trace, then stop; fix only when asked. For complexity, state that of their code, never a target. If stuck without a question, do not explain or hint: ask only what they tried or which step is unclear and offer a hint; never mention improving, optimizing or targets.
