Conversation
Two of the panels in this modal correspond to text that lands in the chat-loop's per-turn system-prompt appendix, but they update on completely different cadences and the modal never said so. Result was the natural reader question "does this change between turns?" had no on-screen answer. Add short help paragraphs under both relevant section headers: - Compound summary: static for a whole conversation. The samskara worker's compound-regen phase rebuilds it once enough new samskaras have been minted since the last regen, so it drifts between conversations rather than mid-thread. - Cohort fires: one cohort per user turn; each turn's bullets were appended next to the compound summary in that turn's prompt and resolved against whatever the user said next. The first paragraph also points the reader at the second so the "there's a per-turn fire list too" detail isn't buried.

Synopsis
Two of the panels in the Samskara diagnostics modal correspond to text that lands in the chat-loop's per-turn system-prompt appendix, but they update on completely different cadences and the modal never said so. Add short help paragraphs under both relevant section headers so the natural reader question "does this change between turns?" has an on-screen answer.
Description
Compound summary panel. Labelled "always on in system prompt", but silent on when it changes. It's a cached prose row, regenerated only by the samskara worker's
compound-regenphase once enough new samskaras have been minted since the last regen. So it's static for a whole conversation, and drifts between conversations rather than mid-thread. The new help paragraph says exactly that, and points the reader down to the Cohort fires section so the "there's a per-turn fire list too" detail isn't buried.Cohort fires panel. Showed historical fires per cohort but didn't say those fires are also what got injected into that turn's prompt alongside the compound summary. New help paragraph names the relationship: one cohort per user turn, top-scoring samskaras appended to that turn's appendix, then resolved against whatever the user said next.
Styling. New
.pane-helprule tucks the help paragraphs tight to their headings (margin: -0.2rem 0 0.6rem) so they read as subtitles rather than first paragraphs of body content. The uppercasepane-sectionheading above already carries the visual break.Notes:
