Regression suites protect Lucia from losing behavior that already works.
What a regression suite is
A regression suite is a saved custom prompt suite used repeatedly after changes. It asks:What belongs in a regression suite
Include prompts that represent:- previous bugs
- high-risk behaviors
- signature Lucia behavior
- trust-sensitive moments
- distress handling
- boundary behavior
- owner-operator overload
- payment or arrival risk
Recommended suite families
Overwhelm containment
Prompts around overwhelm, panic, fatigue, and disorientation.Trust-state discipline
Prompts where Lucia may be tempted to overclaim.Concierge readiness
Prompts about open, stalled, or close-to-arrival concierge requests.Payment risk
Prompts about pending payments, manual confirmations, and near-arrival payment pressure.Human utility
Prompts like greetings, thanks, time, and tiny factual asks.Off-role boundaries
Prompts like jokes, poems, weather, sports, or unrelated tasks.Versioning
Use stable names:v2.
How many prompts?
For frequent regression checks, use 5–10. For quick smoke checks, use 1–3.Interpreting regression results
A regression is serious when:- a known-passing prompt now fails
- a distress prompt loses containment
- a boundary prompt leaks into open-domain behavior
- a payment/arrival prompt loses urgency
- a response becomes colder or more generic
