# Inkhaven 1.3.29 — Inner Socrates, in conversation

_A focused follow-on to 1.3.28's Inner Socrates: the Socratic interrogator becomes
**interactive**. The conversation gains a proper F9 scope, and every finding in the
Output pane gains the outcomes a careful reader's note deserves — declare it
deliberate, write it down, or mark it handled. This completes RFC INNER_SOCRATES-1's
interactive layer._

## The Socrates F9 scope

The AI pane's **F9** scope cycle now includes **Socrates**, after Facts:

```
None → Selection → Paragraph → Subchapter → Chapter → Book → Facts → Socrates → None
```

Cycling into Socrates is a sticky **conversation** scope: it seeds the chat with the
active Reader Persona's voice and the open paragraph's questions, then hands you the
prompt. The persona discusses the work *with* you — it never drafts your prose. The
scope label shows in the AI-pane header; re-cycling refreshes the seed. It's the same
conversation `Ctrl+B J → C` opens, now reachable through the standard scope cycle.

## Per-finding outcomes

A Socratic question in the **Output pane** is no longer just something to read and
dismiss. With one selected:

- **`i`** — *record as intent*: declare the finding's category a deliberate choice
  (scoped to its chapter). Inkhaven writes an intent-ledger entry and stops asking
  that question here.
- **`m`** — *make note*: turn the question into a Notes entry, under a new
  **Socratic Notes** chapter, quoting the question and the passage with room for your
  response — the thinking captured where you'll find it again.
- **`x`** — *mark addressed*.
- **`d`** — *dismiss* (still feeds the promotion mechanism — five dismissals of the
  same kind, and Inkhaven offers to declare it for you).

Each outcome dismisses the message once it's handled, and the Output footer
advertises them for Socratic findings.

## Dependencies & compatibility

**Zero new dependencies.** Non-breaking and opt-in. Every finding remains a question,
never a correction. Tests 1713 (stable; one cycle-order test updated for the new
scope).
