A design reference

Read a long passage from a conversation

Inspect complete Scripture without letting an embed take over the dialogue.

Design proposal · User validation required
Entry

A chat answer cites a verse, range or chapter.

Proposed flow

  1. Identify

    Keep explanation, reference and verified text distinct.

  2. Preview

    Show the visible range and what is omitted.

  3. Expand

    Choose complete inline text when manageable, otherwise a full reader or panel.

  4. Explore

    Open source context, media or comparison without losing the chat anchor.

  5. Return

    Restore conversation position; inline collapse also preserves its anchor.

Recovery and alternative routes

Blocked embeds retain source links. Missing edition text is disclosed. New generated output must not pull the reader away from earlier content.

What counts as a complete outcome

The full requested content is accessible where permitted, and the dialogue remains resumable.

Engagement facets to specify

Possible situations: Lookup and verification, Doubt, lament and life questions. These are overlapping task contexts, not fixed user categories.

Specify the chosen purpose, passage unit, pace, participation, social setting, interpretive task, environment and disclosure or teaching responsibility. Use the scenario framework.
