   Agent Brief

   Type: Bug
   Summary: Keep interview short titles, revision banners and apply refusals accurate.

   Current behavior:

   • A live question that supersedes another can reuse its predecessor's short title while asking a different question.
   • The 'Recommendation revised' banner can read 'Your note: ...' over Claude's own explanation.
   • round.sh apply refusing a file for a duplicate id prints only duplicate id: <id>, without saying nothing was written.

   Desired behavior:

   • Adding a superseding question whose short equals its predecessor's is refused or warned.
   • The revised banner labels the text as Claude's reason, and the surface ops rules tell the session not to write 'Your note' in revised.
   • apply on a file with a duplicate id says nothing was written and names the first duplicate id.

   Key interfaces:

   • round.py question validation, the superseding add path, and revise.
   • Interview page revised banner.
   • Interview surface ops table rules for short and revised (the context surface spoke, not SKILL.md).

   Acceptance criteria:

   • test_round.py gains cases for the superseding short-title refusal or warning and for the duplicate-id message, and scripts/run-test-file.sh plugins/planning/surface/test_round.py exits 0.
   • The browser suite gains a case asserting the revised banner labels the text as Claude's reason (read from the diff), and scripts/run-test-file.sh plugins/planning/surface/surface.test.sh exits 0.
   • The surface spoke tells the session not to write 'Your note' in revised (read from the diff); the interview SKILL.md is not edited.
   • A planning changelog fragment is added and scripts/check-changelog-fragments.sh exits 0.

   Out of scope:

   • Running the browser cases, which need playwright-cli (after merge).
   • Superseded-question controls and chain links (feat(planning): interview page does not enforce answer order or react to changed answers like the terminal interview #5796 G4).

   This was generated by AI during backlog shaping. Held, not admitted: this brief is drafted and checked, but the issue lane would stop on it today. It is admitted, by adding agent-ready, once the lane can run the skill-quality check scripts (Automation Lanes' PR #7912). Held under the owner's 2026-10-18 lane-narrowing course correction.
