synthesize-idea

Purpose

Integrate generated fragments into a coherent candidate with mechanism, provenance, and next-test hooks.

Input contract

required: [idea_fragments, target_problem]
optional: [mechanism_evidence, constraints, candidate_relations]
constraints: [candidate must state function, mechanism, assumptions, and unresolved risks]

Procedure

1. Cluster compatible fragments around a target function.
2. Compose a candidate mechanism and identify required assumptions.
3. Attach provenance and define the next discriminating test or evidence request.

Output contract

produces: [coherent_idea, mechanism_summary, provenance_trace, next_test]
delta_fields: [findings, hypothesis_updates, uncertainties, decisions, recommended_jumps]
