If the principal points to specific turns ("the last 10 messages about X"), use those. Otherwise: - Default to the last 5-10 turns AND any explicitly-referenced earlier exchanges - If unclear, ask one focused question: "Promote the {topic A} discussion or the {topic B} discussion?" ### Step 2 — Categorize the artifact Map the slice to a vau
