From 90bb6b84d8f1268864d2fddde0339aec1311d479 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wassname <1103714+wassname@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 14:19:13 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Put back Interview entries that an agent write/edit removes steering-lite-bsbench session, 04:29 UTC: the input hook saved the user's answer, then the agent wrote the whole goals file from memory with an empty ## Interview and erased it. The extension now snapshots Interview entries before each write/edit of the goals file, restores any that are missing afterwards, and adds a note to the tool result.
