` elements
+- New edge fade-in animation (`fadeInEdge` CSS @keyframes, 0.6s) when interactions arrive via SSE
+- Edge glow + pulse animation for the latest interaction
+- Agent node hover glow effect (stroke-width + filter)
+- Graph/List toggle button in Q&A panel header (persists per session via Alpine store)
+- Parallel edge offset calculation to prevent overlapping arrows
+- 7 agent nodes with color-coded circles, emoji, and truncated names
+- Real-time graph updates during active session as SSE events arrive
+- Graph initializes on agent assignment (`models_assigned` event) and renders nodes/edges as interactions stream in
+- Q&A graph module test page (`static/tests/test-qa-graph.html`) with 17 functional tests
+
+### Changed
+- `qa-graph.js`: Complete rewrite — added green arrowhead marker, node-glow filter, CSS animation classes, edge hitarea for hover, tooltip content, parallel edge offset, proper from/to direction in `addQAInteraction`
+- `session-detail.js`: Added graph mode toggle state, `setGraphMode()`/`toggleQAMode()` functions, graph init in `showDetail()`, graph re-render on `models_assigned` event
+- `dashboard.html`: Added Graph/List toggle button with Alpine.js reactivity in Q&A card header
+- `dashboard.css`: Added graph animation keyframes, interactive node/edge styles, toggle button styles
+- `alpine-init.js`: Added `graphMode` property to `Alpine.store('app')`
+
+### Fixed
+- `addQAInteraction` no longer swaps `from`/`to` parameters — arrows now correctly point from source to destination
+- Graph renders agent nodes even when no interactions exist (visual layout visible from the start)
+- Q&A panel visibility properly managed when toggling between graph and list modes
+- List view re-renders when switching from graph mode

+## [1.8.0] - 2026-06-29
+## [1.9.0] - 2026-06-29
+### Added
+- Issue #116: Output cleanup — empty/incomplete session directories are now auto-cleaned
+- `deepresearch cleanup output [--dry-run]` CLI command for manual cleanup
+- `cleanup_output_dirs()` standalone function in sessions.py — scans output/ dirs, removes empty/trivial ones
+- `_has_meaningful_output(session_id)` — detects dirs with PDF/HTML output
+- `_remove_output_dir(session_id)` — removes dir only if no meaningful output exists
+- `clear_completed()` now auto-cleans empty output dirs (dirs with PDF/HTML preserved)
+
+### Changed
+- `clear_completed()` no longer leaves empty/incomplete session dirs on disk
+- Session output dirs with PDF or HTML are always preserved
+
+### Test
+- 17 new tests for output cleanup logic (now 685 tests, all passing)
+
+
+### Added
+- ADR-0019 implementation: Alpine.js frontend reactivity (Phases 1–4)
+- Alpine.js v3.14.8 via CDN for reactive DOM patching (replaces innerHTML builds)
+- `Alpine.store('app')` for shared global state (current view, connection, session detail)
+- `Alpine.store('sessions')` for session list state (filter, sort, search, pagination, bulk ops)
+- `Alpine.store('settings')` for settings state (providers, backends, models, config)
+- Reactive toolbar (search debounced, sort, filter chips) via `x-model` bindings
+- Reactive session list with `x-for` — no more full-DOM rebuild on 3s poll
+- Reactive pagination with `x-show` / `x-on:click`
+- SSE-to-Alpine bridge: `processEvent()` writes to Alpine stores, DOM updates reactively
+- Alpine magic `$timeAgo()` for time-ago formatting in templates
+- `alpine-init.js` — store initialization script that runs before Alpine CDN loads
+
+### Changed
+- Session list: ~340 → ~90 LOC (removed `renderToolbar`, `renderSessionRow`, `renderPagination`, `bindToolbarEvents`, `bindBulkEvents`)
+- Settings: all loader functions now dual-write to Alpine store alongside DOM
+- Polling writes to `Alpine.store('sessions').list` instead of `innerHTML`
+- View switching uses `Alpine.store('app').currentView` with `x-show` (alongside legacy `.hidden` toggling)
+- SSE event processing writes to Alpine stores for reactive state tracking
+- All `onclick="window.*"` replaced with `@click="$store.app.*"` in header navigation
+
+### Removed
+- Manual DOM manipulation code: `document.getElementById().innerHTML` in session list
+- `renderToolbar()`, `renderFilterChip()`, `renderBulkBar()`, `renderSessionRow()`, `renderPagination()`
+- `bindToolbarEvents()`, `bindBulkEvents()`, `updateBulkDeleteBtn()`
+- Module-level state variables in session-list.js (managed by Alpine store computed properties)
+- ~15 window globals (replaced by Alpine.store and exported functions)

+## Superseded by ADR-0020
+
+The llmfit integration described in this ADR (§Tool Integration → llmfit, Model Recommendations, Local Backend Management) is superseded by [ADR-0020](ADR-0020-remove-llmfit-adopt-llama-server-hf.md). Hardware detection is now handled by Python `psutil` + `nvidia-smi` subprocess, model recommendations are dropped (unreliable), and GGUF model acquisition uses `llama-server -hf` for HuggingFace download-and-serve.

Alpine.js is a new dependency (rung 5). However, it replaces ~200-300 lines of custom reactive code that would otherwise be needed. The net effect is less total code, not more. The Ladder's spirit is "fewest lines that work" — Alpine achieves this better than the custom alternative.
+## Implementation
+
+### Status → Accepted (2026-06-29)
+
+This ADR was promoted from Proposed to Accepted on 2026-06-29. The implementation was executed in four phases as described in the Migration Plan.
+
+### Phase 1: Foundation (Completed 2026-06-29)
+
+- Added Alpine.js v3.14.8 CDN script to `dashboard.html`
+- Created `alpine-init.js` with `Alpine.store('app')`, `Alpine.store('sessions')`, `Alpine.store('settings')` store definitions and `Alpine.magic('timeAgo')` helper
+- Added `[x-cloak]` CSS to prevent FOUC
+- Wired version display to Alpine store via `loadVersion()` bridge
+
+### Phase 2: Session List (Completed 2026-06-29)
+
+- Replaced `innerHTML`-based session list rendering with Alpine `x-for`, `x-if`, `x-show`, `x-text`, `x-model` directives
+- Toolbar (search, sort, filter chips) uses `x-model` bindings and reactive computed properties from `Alpine.store('sessions')`
+- Pagination uses reactive `x-show`/`x-on:click` bound to `currentPage`
+- Bulk operations use `Alpine.store('sessions').selectedIds` with `toggleSelect`/`toggleSelectAll` methods
+- `refreshSessionList()` writes to `Alpine.store('sessions').setList(sessions)` instead of building HTML strings
+- Removed ~250 lines of rendering/binding code from `session-list.js`
+- Polling interval preserved (3s), but no more `innerHTML` rebuilds — Alpine patches only changed rows
+
+### Phase 3: Remaining Views (Completed 2026-06-29)
+
+- SSE-to-Alpine bridge: `processEvent()` in `session-detail.js` writes state updates to `Alpine.store('app')` (currentState, currentTopic, currentSessionId, sessionState, eventCount, elapsed, phase, agents, qaLog)
+- Settings loaders dual-write to `Alpine.store('settings')` alongside existing DOM updates
+- View switching (`showView()` in `index.js`) updates `Alpine.store('app').currentView` for reactive view visibility
+- All writes are guarded by `if (window.Alpine)` for graceful degradation
+
+### Phase 4: Cleanup (Completed 2026-06-29)
+
+- Replaced `onclick="window.*"` in `dashboard.html` with `@click="$store.app.*"` where applicable
+- Removed `.hidden` class toggling in `index.js` — view visibility now controlled by `x-show` bound to `Alpine.store('app').currentView`
+- Window globals reduced from ~15 to ~0 (all cross-module communication through Alpine stores)
+- Removed unused DOM helper utilities replaced by Alpine directives

The field is characterized by intense competition among tech giants and nations, driving innovation but also raising concerns about safety and equity.\",\n \"key_points\": [\n \"Generative AI and large language models are scaling rapidly, but issues like hallucination, bias, and high energy consumption need resolution for reliable deployment.\",\n \"AI will transform major sectors: healthcare (diagnostics, drug discovery), transportation (autonomous vehicles), education (personalization), and customer service (chatbots), among others.\",\n \"Ethical and regulatory challenges\u2014including privacy, accountability, and job displacement\u2014require proactive governance to prevent harm and distribute benefits fairly.\",\n \"The pursuit of AGI is a central goal, but experts disagree on timelines; safe development and alignment with human values are critical to avoid catastrophic risks.\",\n \"Human-AI collaboration is likely to be the dominant paradigm, with AI augmenting human capabilities rather than fully replacing them in most complex tasks.\"\n ],\n \"perspective\": \"Quantitatively, the data suggest AI will significantly boost productivity and economic growth, but the distribution of these gains and the management of risks will determine its societal impact. My unique perspective emphasizes that the future of AI is not a predetermined technological trajectory but a choice shaped by our governance, ethics, and collective priorities. The emphasis should be on building robust, transparent, and inclusive systems that empower humans, rather than racing toward AGI without safeguards. The evidence points to a future where successful integration of AI requires interdisciplinary collaboration and continuous adaptation of our institutions.\",\n \"confidence\": 0.85\n}"
