Reset Cycle

Reset the FPF reasoning cycle to start fresh.

Action (Run-Time)

Option 1: Soft Reset (Archive Current Session)

Create a session archive and clear active work:

1. Create Session Archive

Create a file in .fpf/sessions/ to record the completed/abandoned session:

# In .fpf/sessions/session-2025-01-15-reset.md
---
id: session-2025-01-15-reset
action: reset
created: 2025-01-15T16:00:00Z
reason: user_requested
---

# Session Archive: 2025-01-15

**Reset Reason**: User requested fresh start

## State at Reset

### Hypotheses
- L0: 2 (proposed)
- L1: 1 (verified)
- L2: 0 (validated)
- Invalid: 1 (rejected)

### Files Archived
- .fpf/knowledge/L0/hypothesis-a.md
- .fpf/knowledge/L0/hypothesis-b.md
- .fpf/knowledge/L1/hypothesis-c.md

### Decision Status
No decision was finalized.

## Notes

Session ended without decision. Hypotheses preserved for potential future reference.

2. Move Active Work to Archive (Optional)

If user wants to clear the knowledge directories:

mkdir -p .fpf/archive/session-2025-01-15
mv .fpf/knowledge/L0/*.md .fpf/archive/session-2025-01-15/ 2>/dev/null || true
mv .fpf/knowledge/L1/*.md .fpf/archive/session-2025-01-15/ 2>/dev/null || true
mv .fpf/knowledge/L2/*.md .fpf/archive/session-2025-01-15/ 2>/dev/null || true

3. Report to User

## Reset Complete

Session archived to: .fpf/sessions/session-2025-01-15-reset.md

Current state:
- L0: 0 hypotheses
- L1: 0 hypotheses
- L2: 0 hypotheses

Ready for new reasoning cycle. Run `/fpf:propose-hypotheses` to start.

Option 2: Hard Reset (Delete All)

WARNING: This permanently deletes all FPF data.

rm -rf .fpf/knowledge/L0/*.md
rm -rf .fpf/knowledge/L1/*.md
rm -rf .fpf/knowledge/L2/*.md
rm -rf .fpf/knowledge/invalid/*.md
rm -rf .fpf/evidence/*.md
rm -rf .fpf/decisions/*.md

Only do this if explicitly requested by user.

Option 3: Decision Reset (Keep Knowledge)

If user wants to re-evaluate existing hypotheses:

1. Move L2 hypotheses back to L1 (re-audit)
2. Or move L1 hypotheses back to L0 (re-verify)

# Re-audit: L2 -> L1
mv .fpf/knowledge/L2/*.md .fpf/knowledge/L1/

# Re-verify: L1 -> L0
mv .fpf/knowledge/L1/*.md .fpf/knowledge/L0/
