 # 印度占星 Skill 更新日志
 
+## 2026-09-12 — 生时校正刷新只有真有新题才写库
+
+带年月选择题问完后若引擎没有新的可问题，不会再写空的推理记录，也不会改掉当前候选集。新并入的题号跟已经答过的题用同一套命名，避免下一问在页面上选中了、落库时被拒绝。Skill 版本不变。
+
+
 ## 2026-09-11 — 带年月题问完还会按剩下的候选再问、再请你补事
 
 生时校正里，带年月选择题问完、范围还没收窄到可以结束时，会先按剩下的候选再出一批带年月题；如果还是没有可问的，会点名还能把两端分开的那几条线（比如家里添丁、收入明显变过），请你记得哪件说哪件。你说「没有了」之后才给出目前范围。卡片标题是「目前范围」，下面会写还能再收窄什么。不会把「题问完」当成已经结束。Skill 10.0.24。

+## BUG-655 | 刷新无新题不得写推理账本；并入探针须与已答同名
+
+- 状态：resolved
+- 首次发现：2026-09-11
+- 最近更新：2026-09-12
+- 影响面：`refreshDatedDiscriminatorPoolIfNeeded`、`persistV9InferenceState`、GET `decideFromDossier` 与 `persistServerOwnedFocus`
+- 用户现象：带年月题问完后刷新，GET 已选出下一道探针，但持久化层拒绝，界面再次停在没有下一问。
+- 触发条件：训练门已开、带年月池空、刷新调用引擎后没有可并入的新题，或并入探针 id 与已答 id 命名不一致，或写入时候选被清空 / 候选集被改掉。
+- 根因：刷新在引擎没有新题时仍写 `reason=supersede` 的推理记录；GET 侧可能选中未映射进 `inference_state.probes` 的引擎探针，`expectedAnswerSchemaFor` 盖不上 `probe_id` 后 persist 返回 `invalid_choice_schema` / `skipped`。
+- 修复：只在引擎映射出可问新题时写库；写入前断言候选非空且 `candidate_set_id` 不变，候选沿用刷新前集合；并入探针 id 与已答同一规则（`probe:<semantic_key>` 或带 split hash）；刷新只把可问探针写进 `inference_state.probes` 和 receipt，GET 选中的 key 必须能 stamp 上 `probe_id`。
+- 验证：`frontend/tests/rectification-probe-pool-exhausted-20260911.test.ts` T0 打印最后一行推理记录与 GET 探针 key / persist 状态；T3 空刷新与候选集变更不写库。
+- 防复发：刷新写库必须同时满足新题、候选非空、候选集不变、探针 id 与已答同名。不得靠客户端「接着问」补救（BUG-652）。
+- 相关记录：BUG-653、BUG-654、BUG-652、BUG-587、BUG-594
+- 复发自：BUG-653（刷新总会写库，未校验新题与候选集）
+- 修复版本：待发布
