dialogue: a restart expires the parked question (V-385)
The decision, not a behaviour change: ClarifyStore stays in memory, and she does not announce the loss either. The TTL and the attempt count measure a pause in one conversation. A restart is a gap of unknown length, so a restored question is either dead already or lying about its age, and the request behind it is one he has likely given up on. Announcing it would mean storing a marker that outlives the thing it describes, to say one sentence in the rare window where he speaks within 90s of a restart. His next words route fresh, which is right either way. Written down in docs/design.md, pinned at both ends by a comment, and held by a test that builds a second handler over the same store.

#### A restart expires a parked question
|
||||
|
||||
Decided 2026-08-04 (Vikunja #385). The follow-up dialogue session survives a
|
||||
restart; the clarify question parked behind it does not, and neither do the
|
||||
three yes/no confirms in `voice.go`. `ClarifyStore` stays in memory.
|
||||
|
||||
Three reasons, in the order they settle it:
|
||||
|
||||
- The clock stops meaning anything. A parked question carries a 90s TTL and an
|
||||
attempt count. A restart is a gap of unknown length, so a restored question is
|
||||
either already dead or pretending to be young.
|
||||
- Restoring the question restores the request behind it. He asked for something,
|
||||
she asked back, and then the daemon went away. Acting on that minutes later,
|
||||
against words he has probably given up on, is the misroute the stage 3 gate
|
||||
exists to avoid.
|
||||
- She does not announce it either. The expiry notice needs to know a question
|
||||
was parked, and knowing that across a restart means storing it. One sentence,
|
||||
in the rare window where he speaks within 90s of a restart, does not pay for a
|
||||
marker that outlives the thing it describes. His next words route fresh, which
|
||||
is the correct answer with or without the notice.
|
||||
|
||||
So the notice stays what it is: the in-process TTL case, where she really did
|
||||
wait and really did let go.
