# HyperTwist Phase 4 review template launch continuity packet

Created on `2026-05-06`

Status:

- first-party HyperTwist packet
- bounded Phase `4` review-template continuity slice

## Purpose

This packet makes review-preferring session templates launch through actual review-plan semantics instead of degrading into plain deck runs.

The open tasks are:

- let repository-backed review templates resume an already-stored pending review plan when one is still open
- let other review-preferring templates create and persist a fresh review plan for the launched template deck

It is not:

- a new dashboard button packet
- a broader session-template consumer packet
- a method-drill packet
- a review-policy redesign

## Scope

Bounded lane:

- keep `StartTrainingRunFromTemplate()` on its existing thin launch surface
- detect when the selected template explicitly prefers review execution
- resume `ActiveReviewPlanState` through `StartRecommendedReviewRun()` when the template matches an open stored review plan
- otherwise build and persist a new review plan from the launched template deck so template-backed review runs stay visible in repository review state

Out of scope:

- changing queue / coach action ordering
- adding new template browsers or launch controls
- widening into method-drill follow-up launch semantics
- changing how review recommendations are scored outside the launched template deck

## Why this was the right next packet

Before this slice:

- stored pending review plans could already be resumed directly after `ClearActiveRun()`
- repository state already exposed review-preferring templates, including `Resume Review Plan`
- template materialization already tagged review-preferring template decks correctly

But one execution seam still remained:

- `StartTrainingRunFromTemplate()` ignored `bPreferReviewRun`
- review-preferring templates therefore started plain training runs
- and those launches did not resume or persist review-plan state

That meant:

- the direct review-resumption runtime path was coherent
- while the template-backed review entry path could still silently drop review semantics

So the next honest move was:

- make review-preferring template launches reuse the stored review plan when appropriate
- and otherwise persist a fresh review plan for the launched template deck

## What landed

Primary code changes:

- `UnrealHyperTwist/Source/UnrealHyperTwist/Private/HyperTwistTraining/HyperTwistTrainingSubsystem.cpp`
  - added review-template launch helpers that detect when a stored review plan should be resumed
  - `StartTrainingRunFromTemplate()` now routes matching review-preferring templates through `StartRecommendedReviewRun()`
  - review-preferring templates without a resumable stored plan now build and upsert a fresh review plan after the template deck launch

## Product effect

Template-backed review entry is now more truthful:

- `Resume Review Plan` templates no longer fall back to a plain deck run when the stored plan is still open
- review-preferring template launches now keep repository-backed review state aligned with the run that just started
- template-based review continuation no longer loses `ActiveReviewPlanState` / `ActiveReviewFlowStatus` continuity at launch time

## Acceptance criteria

- `StartTrainingRunFromTemplate()` resumes a matching stored review plan when the template prefers review execution and an open plan is already present
- review-preferring templates without a resumable stored plan persist a fresh review plan after launch
- non-review-preferring templates keep their existing plain run behavior
- full product build succeeds

## Validation checklist

1. build `UnrealHyperTwist.sln` / `UnrealHyperTwistEditor`
2. confirm `StartTrainingRunFromTemplate()` resumes stored review-plan state for `Resume Review Plan`
3. confirm review-preferring templates without a resumable plan upsert a new review plan after launch
4. confirm non-review templates still launch as ordinary training runs

That is the packet.
