# Implementation Summary

**Session ID**: `phase27-session07-convergence-detection-and-trajectory-visuals` **Completed**: 2026-06-13 **Duration**: 0.5 hours

***

## Overview

Completed Phase 27 Session 07 by adding deterministic cross-source convergence detection and compact score trajectory visuals to Trend Finder. The shipped work derives lead-lag timing only from linked evidence timestamps, publishes bounded browser-safe schema branches, renders selected-topic timeline and actual-score trajectory panels, and validates legacy payload compatibility with focused and full test coverage.

## Technical Decisions

1. **Evidence-only convergence**: Convergence uses linked evidence timestamps and source metadata already present in the run, with invalid or future timestamps producing explicit unavailable states.
2. **Actual-point trajectory contract**: Score trajectory publishes historical and current score points only; slope is rendered as a labeled extrapolation guide in the UI.
3. **Additive browser schema**: New payload branches default to unavailable or missing-history states so old fixtures and generated payloads keep parsing.

## Test Results

| Metric   | Value                             |
| -------- | --------------------------------- |
| Tests    | 277 test files, 3407 Vitest tests |
| Passed   | 277 test files, 3407 Vitest tests |
| Coverage | Not collected                     |

***

## Lessons Learned

1. Keep timing derivations tied to source first-seen timestamps, not every evidence timestamp, to avoid overstating convergence.
2. Dense selected-topic visuals need fixed dimensions, truncated labels, and accessible summaries from the view-model layer.

***

## Future Considerations

Items for future sessions:

1. Session 08 can build dated prediction and Story Log behavior on top of the now-available trajectory and lifecycle context.
2. Static Brief export rendering for convergence remains deferred to the documentation and release closeout session.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ai-os-and-trend-finder.gitbook.io/ai-os-and-trend-finder-docs/.spec_system/archive/sessions/phase27-session07-convergence-detection-and-trajectory-visuals/implementation_summary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
