# HyperTwist Phase 4 method-drill review template continuity packet

Created on `2026-05-06`

Status:

- first-party HyperTwist packet
- bounded Phase `4` method-drill follow-up review slice

## Purpose

This packet closes the remaining review-template continuity gap on the method-drill follow-up launch path.

The open tasks are:

- stop treating method-drill follow-up templates that prefer review execution as plain deck runs
- tighten stored review-plan resumption so only explicit pending-plan templates resume an already-open plan

It is not:

- a new drill diagnostic packet
- a broader dashboard launch-surface packet
- a rewrite of review-template construction
- a queue / coach orchestration packet

## Scope

Bounded lane:

- keep the existing method-drill follow-up template builder unchanged
- reuse the same review-template launch preparation logic now used by generic session templates
- make `StartActiveMethodDrillFollowUpRun()` persist review-plan state when its follow-up template prefers review execution
- require `SourceReviewPlanId` on template-backed stored-plan resume so generic review-preferring templates only resume when they explicitly target the open plan

Out of scope:

- widening into unrelated method-drill diagnostic heuristics
- changing review-plan scoring rules
- adding new template browsing or launch buttons
- changing follow-up packet structure selection

## Why this was the right next packet

Before this slice:

- generic session templates that preferred review execution already launched through review-plan semantics
- method-drill follow-up templates already set `bPreferReviewRun` when their diagnostic packet asked for a review-plan bridge

But two seams still remained:

- `StartActiveMethodDrillFollowUpRun()` still launched those follow-up templates through `StartTrainingRunFromDeck()` only
- and the new stored-plan resume helper was broad enough to resume any open plan on the same deck, even when the template did not explicitly target that plan

That meant:

- generic template review continuity had landed
- while method-drill follow-up review continuity still lagged behind it
- and the stored-plan resume path still needed a tighter contract to match the last packet’s intended behavior

So the next honest move was:

- narrow stored-plan resume down to explicit `SourceReviewPlanId` matches
- then extend review-plan persistence into method-drill follow-up launches using that safer rule

## What landed

Primary code changes:

- `UnrealHyperTwist/Source/UnrealHyperTwist/Private/HyperTwistTraining/HyperTwistTrainingSubsystem.cpp`
  - tightened template-backed stored-plan resume matching so only explicit pending-plan templates resume an already-open plan
  - added shared review-template launch preparation for source-deck lookup, review policy, and template-backed recommendations
  - `StartActiveMethodDrillFollowUpRun()` now persists a review plan after launch when the active follow-up template prefers review execution

## Product effect

The review-template lane is now more coherent:

- `Resume Review Plan` keeps its direct stored-plan resumption path
- other review-preferring templates no longer accidentally reuse an unrelated open plan just because they share the same focus deck
- method-drill follow-up launches now keep repository-backed review state aligned with the review-preferring template that launched them

## Acceptance criteria

- template-backed stored-plan resume only occurs when the template explicitly names the open review plan
- method-drill follow-up templates with `bPreferReviewRun` persist a review plan after launch
- method-drill follow-up templates without review preference keep their existing plain-run behavior
- full product build succeeds

## Validation checklist

1. build `UnrealHyperTwist.sln` / `UnrealHyperTwistEditor`
2. confirm generic review-preferring templates without `SourceReviewPlanId` no longer resume arbitrary open plans
3. confirm `StartActiveMethodDrillFollowUpRun()` persists review-plan state when the follow-up template prefers review execution
4. confirm non-review method-drill follow-up launches still behave as ordinary training runs

That is the packet.
