# HyperTwist Guided Classic-Cube Pedagogy And Lesson-State Hierarchy Reconciliation - 2026-05-27

## Status

This document is the source-backed reconciliation note for the current guided
classic-cube pedagogy and lesson-state family across:

- `AviKaufman/Rubix-cube-trainer`
- the first-party training, drill, and coaching surfaces
- the landed bounded classic-cube `Phase 6R-Q`, `Phase 6R-R`, and `Phase 6R-S`
  seams

It answers one narrow question:

- does the current `AviKaufman/Rubix-cube-trainer` source require reopening
  already landed HyperTwist training/coaching or classic-cube explanation
  packets before any future guided-lesson packet is considered

Result:

- no product-code reopening is required
- yes selective authority backfill is required so the retained guided-pedagogy
  slice stays narrow and does not blur into the current first-party
  training/drill/coaching or bounded classic-cube explanation families

## Slice-local verdict

| Slice | Primary authority | Secondary value kept | Route | Width | Result |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Landed first-party training sessions, method-drill definitions, drill run orchestration, and coaching queue/follow-up surfaces | first-party training and coaching surfaces | none required from `AviKaufman` | existing landed permissive route | `F2` | unchanged live implementation owner |
| Landed bounded classic-cube reconstruction follow-up, solve-guidance stage ladder, correction explanation, and correction-resolution closure seams | first-party landed `Phase 6R-Q`, `Phase 6R-R`, and `Phase 6R-S` seams | none required from `AviKaufman` | existing landed permissive route | `F2` | unchanged live implementation owner |
| Guided beginner lesson-state benchmark for named milestones, oversatisfied-step explanation, bounded step help, and coexistence of manual turns with tutorial coherence | `AviKaufman/Rubix-cube-trainer` | current first-party training/coaching and bounded classic-cube explanation families remain adjacent non-overlapping owners | `R4` now, `R3` only if an explicit clean-room packet is opened later | `F2` | restrictive pedagogy benchmark authority kept explicit |

## Why no product-code reopening is required

### `AviKaufman/Rubix-cube-trainer`

`AviKaufman` still has retained value, but it is narrow:

- named beginner lesson milestones
- bounded per-step help and algorithm application
- oversatisfied-step detection and explanation
- coexistence of manual turns, reshuffle/reset, and tutorial continuity on a
  live cube surface

That retained value is explicit in the current source:

- `README.md` states the step-by-step beginner method and `Apply Algorithm`
  teaching loop
- `main.ts` defines named `steps` with per-step titles, goals, and algorithms
- `main.ts` carries step-specific macro tables and depth limits rather than
  only a final-solve path
- the existing scrubbed `Model A` handoff already captures milestone
  satisfaction, oversatisfied-state explanation, and bounded-help expectations

Those strengths make `AviKaufman` the strongest current guided-pedagogy
benchmark. They do not make it the owner of HyperTwist's live training,
drill, coaching, or bounded classic-cube explanation families.

### Current first-party training/drill/coaching surfaces

HyperTwist already owns the current live training and drill family in
first-party code:

- method-drill sample decks and definitions already exist
- method-drill run state and summary flows already exist
- training/coaching session, queue, and follow-up surfaces already exist

Those surfaces are broader and already live. `AviKaufman` does not reopen
them.

### Landed classic-cube `Phase 6R-Q/R/S`

The landed classic-cube explanation and correction seams are already first-party
and bounded:

- the stage ladder already exposes named solve stages such as
  `orient-centers`, `solve-white-cross`, and later layer milestones
- solve guidance already gates on reconstruction and correction completion
- correction and resolution already reopen or unlock the stage ladder in a
  bounded way

`AviKaufman`'s beginner lesson benchmark does not reopen those shell/state
families. It only remains a later clean-room comparison surface if HyperTwist
ever wants a more explicit guided beginner lesson lane above the current drill
and solve-guidance seams.

## Selective backfill result

### Earlier packet reopened

- `C:\HyperTwist\docs\HYPERTWIST_PHASE_0R_PACKET_0R_E_EVALUATION_2026-05-13.md`

### Earlier standing note reopened

- `C:\Workspaces\HyperTwist\clean-room-specs\avi-kaufman-rubix-cube-trainer.model-a.md`

### Reason

Later comparison against the now-landed HyperTwist training/drill/coaching and
classic-cube explanation surfaces sharpened the exact retained `AviKaufman`
slice:

- `AviKaufman` is not a generic training-session owner
- `AviKaufman` is not a generic coaching backend owner
- `AviKaufman` is not the live owner of the current bounded solve-guidance
  ladder
- `AviKaufman` remains the guided-pedagogy benchmark only for the narrower
  named-milestone lesson-state, oversatisfied-step explanation, and bounded
  step-help slice

### Change class

- repo-local extraction did not change
- cross-lane authority wording was sharpened for the exact retained slice
- no cleanup interpretation changed
- no product-code change occurred

### What remained valid

- the original `0R-E` decision to keep `AviKaufman` all-rights-reserved and
  non-live remained valid
- the current first-party training/drill/coaching surfaces remained valid
- the current first-party classic-cube `Phase 6R-Q/R/S` seams remained valid
- the existing scrubbed `Model A` handoff remained valid as a seed

### What changed

The dependent canon now makes the exact non-live role explicit:

- keep `AviKaufman` only as the strongest clean-room pedagogy benchmark for the
  narrower guided beginner lesson-state slice
- keep training/drill/coaching ownership with the current first-party surfaces
- keep bounded classic-cube explanation and correction ownership with the
  landed `Phase 6R-Q/R/S` seams

## Propagation result

### Feature registry

Updated.

The registry now explicitly records the retained guided beginner pedagogy slice
instead of leaving that slice implicit in the older `0R-E` packet alone.

### Cross-lane doctrine

No doctrine wording change was needed.

This pass applied the existing `A/R/F` hierarchy; it did not change the
hierarchy rules themselves.

### Skillization

No doctrine or `SKILLS.md` change was needed.

This pass did not create or reopen any command or skill surface.

### Legal evidence

No license-status or mirror-custody change occurred.

The repo-row tracker, feature registry, manifest, and scrubbed handoff were
sharpened instead.

## Operational answer

Before any future guided beginner lesson packet is opened, the correct move was
this evaluation and selective backfill pass first.

After this pass:

- do not reopen the live product code
- do not reinterpret `AviKaufman` as proof that training/coaching or bounded
  solve-guidance ownership is still pending
- if HyperTwist later opens a true guided beginner lesson lane, start from the
  retained pedagogy benchmark slice only and keep it clean-room routed rather
  than donor-routed
