An elliptical follow-up carries no intent of its own. followUpMerge cannot
help — it inherits slots once the intent is known, and here the intent is
the missing part. So "а завтра?" went to the router, which on a 1.7B is
close to a coin flip, and the guess cost ~2.7s.
continuationDecision runs before the router and rebuilds the turn from the
previous one: same intent, same key, new day. Deterministic and free.
Three guards, all narrow on purpose. A parseable date is required, which is
what separates an ellipsis from an ordinary short utterance. Four tokens
max. And only query, system and reminder may be inherited: fact and note
would write something he did not say, and act would let a two-word
utterance re-run an allowlisted fn, which is a way to fire a destructive
command nobody typed.
A continuation is still remembered, so "а завтра?" then "а послезавтра?"
chains.
