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.
Phase 2A backend set: 137 passed / 0 failed / 8 deselected. tsc, eslint,
vite build clean.

Troubleshooting Decision Tree - Backend API
FastAPI backend for the Troubleshooting Decision Tree application.
Quick Start
1. Set up Python environment
cd backend
python -m venv venv
# Windows
venv\Scripts\activate
# macOS/Linux
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Start PostgreSQL database
Using Docker:
docker-compose up -d
Or install PostgreSQL locally and create a database:
CREATE DATABASE decision_tree;
3. Configure environment
Copy the example env file and update as needed:
cp .env.example .env
4. Run database migrations
alembic upgrade head
5. Start the server
uvicorn app.main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
The API will be available at:
- API: http://localhost:8000
- Docs: http://localhost:8000/api/docs
- ReDoc: http://localhost:8000/api/redoc
