Study Interview Mode is now the DEFAULT for all study creation requests.
This intelligent Q&A system guides users through optimization setup with:
- 7-phase interview flow: introspection → objectives → constraints → design_variables → validation → review → complete
- Material-aware validation with 12 materials and fuzzy name matching
- Anti-pattern detection for 12 common mistakes (mass-no-constraint, stress-over-yield, etc.)
- Auto extractor mapping E1-E24 based on goal keywords
- State persistence with JSON serialization and backup rotation
- StudyBlueprint generation with full validation
Triggers: "create a study", "new study", "optimize this", any study creation intent
Skip with: "skip interview", "quick setup", "manual config"
Components:
- StudyInterviewEngine: Main orchestrator
- QuestionEngine: Conditional logic evaluation
- EngineeringValidator: MaterialsDatabase + AntiPatternDetector
- InterviewPresenter: Markdown formatting for Claude
- StudyBlueprint: Validated configuration output
- InterviewState: Persistent state management
All 129 tests passing.
