+//
+// Extracted 2026-08-07 (issue #129) so the agentic path's safety INPUT is
+// reachable by a test. It owns exactly two decisions: which history window the
+// screen sees, and the screen call itself.
+//
+// Why it is a function and not two inline lines: those two lines sat in the
+// middle of a 300-line handler, and a key rename (ff421d3) moved the producer
+// without moving this consumer. Nothing failed, nothing logged — the
+// history-amplification half of the crisis score simply received "" on every
+// real session for a day. Inline safety inputs are untestable safety inputs.
+// See tests/test_history_amplification.el, which fails if this window and
+// conv_history_record ever stop agreeing.
