+Context Switch (`docs/CONTEXT_SWITCH.md` §3.2) classifies the agent's settled-turn reply as
+well as the user's prompt, but everything above trains on prompts only. This slice adds the
+missing register from the same pinned snapshot: turn-ending `assistant_response` rows, with
+the student text produced by `prose_extract.py` — a port of the runtime's own
+`HeuristicSummary.contextSwitchReplyProse`, pinned to it by
+`Tests/NucleicCoreTests/Fixtures/context-switch-prose.json` so the model trains on exactly
+the text it is later asked to classify.

+```bash

+  --revision <accepted-immutable-hf-revision>

+```
+
+The teacher reads the reply prose and the user message that opened the turn; only the prose
+reaches the canonical record, with the user message kept as a hash in the audit sidecar.
+`recoverableFromProse=false` is the reply-side counterpart of `recoverableFromFirst` and is
+likewise `vague-eval` evidence, never training data. A reply that only *offers* work
+("Should I start on the settings screen?") must be rejected rather than labeled with the
+work it asks about; the run prints `endingInQuestion` alongside `endingInQuestionRejected`
+so that rule can be verified on the dry run instead of assumed.

+"""Export turn-ending assistant reply prose from SWE-chat for the prose slice.
+
+`docs/CONTEXT_SWITCH.md` §3.2 classifies the agent's settled-turn reply as well as the
+user's prompt, but `purpose-lite` is trained only on user prompts, so reply prose is
+out-of-domain. This exporter builds the missing slice: the same gated, revision-pinned
+SWE-chat snapshot as `export_swe_chat.py`, restricted to conversational
+`assistant_response` rows that **end a turn**, with the student text produced by
+`prose_extract.reply_prose` — a port of the runtime's own extraction, so the classifier
+trains on exactly the text it is asked to classify.
+
+Like its sibling this importer never downloads anything: callers supply an already
+accepted, revision-pinned Parquet snapshot below the gitignored `.artifacts/`. It reads in
+record batches and takes two passes, the first of which deliberately does **not** project
+`content` — turn-end structure is decided from small metadata columns alone, and reply text
+is read only for the rows that survive.
+
+The preceding user prompt travels in the candidate as teacher-only context. It never
+reaches the student record: `label_swe_chat_prose.py` writes prose only.

+"""Label assistant reply prose with Luna, using the preceding user prompt as context.
+
+The mirror image of `label_swe_chat_prompts.py`: there the user's message is labeled and
+the agent's reply is context; here the agent's *reply prose* is labeled and the user's
+message is context. Everything else — the canonical eight-label contract, the hardened
+Codex runner, the resumable state file, the seven-field student record — is shared, so the
+prose slice drops into `prepare_data.py` with no downstream change.
+
+Only the prose reaches the canonical dataset. The user prompt is teacher-only context and
+lives solely in the ignored candidate/state artifacts, as a hash in the audit sidecar.
+
+Two failure modes are specific to this slice and are enforced rather than hoped for:
+
+* A reply that merely *asks* about work ("Should I start on the UI next?") states no
+  purpose of its own. Labeling it `frontendImpl` would teach the classifier to fire on
+  exactly the replies §4 of `docs/CONTEXT_SWITCH.md` requires it not fire on, so the
+  teacher is told to reject those and the runtime's `endsInQuestion` signal is carried
+  into the audit so the rejection rate can be checked against it.
+* A reply is often a report on the prompt's purpose rather than a new one. That is fine —
+  it is the same purpose — but a reply that is only intelligible *because* the prompt said
+  what it said is not recoverable from prose alone. Those become `vague-eval` abstention
+  evidence, never training data.

+prose is *about*. The quoted preceding_user_message is context for what was asked; it is
+never itself the thing being labeled.
+
+The prose has already had fenced code stripped and, when
+reply_was_truncated_to_its_tail is true, been cut to its closing characters, so a clipped
+opening is expected and is not junk on its own.
+
+Use exactly the label, secondary, mixed, difficulty, slice, lang, keep, and junkReason
+contract described below. Labels: planning (design/strategy), backendImpl (server/data/CLI),
+frontendImpl (UI/styling), quickFix (known small change), refactor (behavior-preserving
+restructure), debugging (unknown cause/failure), review (explain/audit existing work), and
+writing (docs/prose). Planning wins over implementation; docs about code are writing;
+known small changes are quickFix while unknown failures are debugging. mixed is true iff
+secondary is non-null, and then slice=mixed. lang is a BCP-47 tag; difficulty is 0..1.
+
+Reject with keep=false when the prose states no engineering purpose of its own. In
+particular reject a reply that only *asks* about or *offers* work ("Should I start on the
+settings screen next?", "Want me to refactor this?") rather than reporting work: a question
+about frontend work is not frontend work, and labeling it as such is a defect. Also reject
+pure acknowledgements, pure status noise, scaffolding, and non-technical material. A reply
+that reports completed work is kept and labeled with that work's purpose, even when it
+matches the preceding message's purpose.
+
+Set recoverableFromProse=true when the primary label is knowable from agent_reply_prose
+alone. Set it false when you needed preceding_user_message to decide — a reply full of
+pronouns referring back to the request is the common case. For false, retain the record but
+set slice to vague-eval: it is abstention evidence, never training data. For junk set it
+null and every label field null.

+"""Runtime-identical assistant reply-prose extraction.
+
+The Context Switch turn-end watcher classifies agent replies after stripping fenced code
+and tail-biasing the remainder (`docs/CONTEXT_SWITCH.md` §3.2). Training the classifier on
+raw replies would therefore train it on text the runtime never sees, so the assistant-prose
+slice runs its student text through this module, which is a deliberate line-by-line port of
+``HeuristicSummary.contextSwitchReplyProse`` in ``Sources/NucleicCore/Intelligence.swift``.
+
+The two implementations are pinned together by
+``Tests/NucleicCoreTests/Fixtures/context-switch-prose.json``, which
+``tests/test_prose_extract.py`` and ``ContextSwitchTests`` both assert against. Change one
+side and the other side's test fails.
+
+Two Swift behaviours need explicit modelling in Python:
+
+* ``String.count``/``suffix`` count **grapheme clusters**, not code points, so the
+  character limit is applied over :func:`graphemes` rather than ``len``. That segmentation
+  is a pragmatic subset of UAX #29 (CRLF, combining marks, variation selectors, emoji
+  ZWJ sequences, skin-tone modifiers, regional-indicator pairs) — the cases that actually
+  occur in agent prose. Anything it does not model degrades to one cluster per scalar,
+  which is what Python would have done anyway.
+* ``CharacterSet.whitespacesAndNewlines`` is the Unicode ``White_Space`` property, whereas
+  ``str.strip()`` also strips U+001C–U+001F. :data:`WHITESPACE` spells the Swift set out so
+  a stray information separator in a reply cannot make the two extractions disagree.
