Live walk defect: the builder generated alternatives questions ("Is Jane's
account a Microsoft account or a local account?") while the UI could only
offer Yes/No. Root cause: SYSTEM_PROMPT mandated a label-less
'<yes/no question>' shape with no way to express the two answers.
- SYSTEM_PROMPT: question nodes must carry yes_label/no_label — the literal
button texts; alternatives questions must use the alternatives as labels.
- validate_node: labels hard-floor-scanned, must be distinct non-empty strings.
- _ensure_labels: server defaults missing labels to Yes/No.
- advance_ai_build: records answer_label (and both labels) in walked_path,
derived from the server-held pending_node — never client-supplied.
- _build_context: LLM context shows the chosen label, not a bare yes/no
(a raw "-> yes" on an alternatives question degrades the next generation).
- normalize_walked_path: captured flywheel trees keep question labels.
- Frontend: buttons render yes_label/no_label; walk transcript and
L1EscalationsSection render answer_label.

Server-assigns a uuid4 id to every AI-generated node (Finding 1 showstopper:
nodes had no id but the advance protocol keys on node_id, so ai_build walks
never advanced past question 1). Replaces the hidden {"node_type":"meta"}
walked_path convention with real category/problem_text/pending_node columns on
l1_walk_sessions (migration 61dda4f615c6) — fixes junk proposals + off-by-one
depth cap (Findings 8,9), and pending_node replays the served node on re-mount
(no duplicate paid LLM call). Intake honors explicit flow_id and adhoc=True
(Findings 4,5); flow_proposals.l1_session_id FK -> CASCADE (Finding 6 time
bomb); L1 category GET is owner+admin like PATCH and require_account_owner_or_admin
delegates to User.can_manage_account (Finding 7); escalate falls back to default
recipients + filters deleted_at + warns when empty (Finding 10). Cleanups: dead
ticket_ref removed, IntakeResponse per-outcome validator, unused acknowledged
dropped, escalations partial index, restored a deleted audit assertion.
