ProblemFramer
The active strategist that frames the problem
Definition
Mechanism
A specialized solver role that Interprets an initial request via RequestFraming, constructs the formal AcceptSpec (Definition of Done), and anchors the resulting RootSolver to the UniversalSolverTree. Unlike a general Solver (which executes), the Framer's sole output is a well-formed Problem Node ready for decomposition, or a Reframe request if invalid.
Invariants
- Genesis: Must create exactly one active Root per problem instance.
- Ownership: Owns the high-level success/failure of the task.
Risks
Failure modes
Bad Frame
The problem is framed incorrectly, making it unsolvable.
Reframe Failure
Fails to find a valid alternative frame after failure.
