review-evaluates-direct-antecedents-only

IN premise

`review-beliefs` presents each derived belief with only its direct antecedents to the LLM reviewer, not the transitive chain — producing occasional sufficiency false positives when support exists one level deeper, which must be triaged manually.

Summary

When the system asks an LLM to evaluate whether a derived belief is well-supported, it only shows the immediate parent beliefs, not the full chain of reasoning behind those parents. This means the reviewer sometimes judges a belief as insufficiently supported when the real justification exists further back in the chain, requiring a human to sort out these false alarms.
