1 /**
2 * Spine analytics: how each council member responds to peer pressure.
3 *
4 * Every round already records the critique scores a participant received and
5 * whether its revision changed (`RevisionChangelog.changed`). Crossing the two
6 * classifies each decision:
7 *
8 * revised changed under genuine criticism - the intended behavior
9 * defended kept the answer absent strong criticism - also fine
10 * caved changed an answer the council scored highly (sycophancy)
11 * stonewalled kept an answer the council scored poorly (stubbornness)
12 *
13 * Pure and deterministic - computed from persisted records, zero LLM calls.
