undefined-ui Trace changed positions
This is the query a vault can answer that nothing else can, and the reason the supersession rules exist. It only works because contradictions are recorded rather than overwritten.
Core rule
Report the change with both positions, both dates and the evidence between them. A conclusion without its history is just the current claim.
Workflow
- Find superseded claims across concept pages, and contradictions where the sources differ in date.
- Reconstruct the sequence: what the page said, when, based on what; what changed it, when.
- Distinguish real revision from correction. A factual error being fixed is not a change of mind. A conclusion being revised on better evidence is.
- Flag unresolved ones. Contradictions still sitting open are the most actionable output here.
- Say how firm the current position is, based on what moved it.
Output format
## <topic>
Was: <claim> (<source>, <date>)
Now: <claim> (<source>, <date>)
What moved it: <evidence>
Firmness: <what would move it again>
## Still unresolved
<contradictions with no current position>
Calibration
If nothing has changed in the period, say so in one line. Manufacturing an apparent revision from two pages that never disagreed is worse than an empty result.
Never present the more recent source as correct by virtue of being recent.
