"""Branch classifier — LLM-as-judge for learner-signal classification (R7, TASK-03-06).
At session end (or turn boundary), classifies the learner's turn transcripts
into a scenario branch (accept_resolution or escalate) based on the scenario's
learner_signals definitions. Runs OFFLINE from the voice loop (not on the
latency-critical path) per D-P1-05.
Uses deepseek-v4-flash:cloud in no-think mode (D-020) via the LLMProvider —
cheap + fast enough for a one-shot end-of-session classification.
Per G-002: the v0.1 branch is a post-hoc outcome classification, not a runtime
conversation fork. This classifier produces the label that the debrief + DB
log consume.
