Session retrospective — replay and grade your interview

After you end a session, you land on /sessions/[id] — the retrospective. This is where you replay the transcript, re-read every AI answer, see your scorecard, and decide whether to delete or keep it for later. Same URL works for any session in your history (click any card in /sessions).

What's on the page

Four tabs, in this order:

Tab	What's in it
Overview	Headline stats — duration, AI answers, top scorecard line, who the interviewer was
Transcript	Full conversation, color-coded by speaker (you vs interviewer), with timestamps
AI Answers	Every answer the AI generated, in order, with the question that triggered each
Scorecard	The rubric breakdown (Pro+/Lifetime only — Free + Hour Pack are locked)

Plus a top action row: Replay (mostly for Live sessions), Export (Pro+ only), Delete, Share (planned).

Overview tab

The card-style summary at-a-glance:

• Duration — total live time (excludes pre-start and post-end)
• AI fires — how many times the AI was invoked
• Top scorecard rule — your weakest rule with the hint (e.g., "Content Quality: most bullets lack quantified results")
• Interviewer — name pulled from your Job Context, if you provided one
• Date + time of the session

Click any stat to jump to the relevant tab.

Transcript tab

Live captions of who said what, with timestamps. Speaker lines are color-coded:

• You — gray bubble
• Interviewer — emerald-tinted bubble
• AI (when fired) — violet bubble below the question that triggered it

Click any line → it expands to show the surrounding context (5 sec before/after). Useful for hunting "what exactly did they ask?"

Speakers are labeled via Speechmatics diarization. If they're swapped (your lines marked as Interviewer), the swap was a known drift — see BUG-084 in patterns.

AI Answers tab

Every AI answer in chronological order. Each one shows:

• The interviewer question that triggered it
• The AI's full answer (markdown rendered)
• Model used (e.g., "Claude Sonnet 4.6")
• Time the answer was generated (turnaround time in ms)
• Inline-advice pills if you had that toggle ON during the session (Inline advice pills)

You can copy any individual answer with the Copy button. You can't edit them — they're immutable historical records.

Scorecard tab (Pro+/Lifetime only)

The interview rubric — your performance graded on 5-7 dimensions:

• Communication — clarity, pacing, filler words
• Specificity — vague claims vs quantified results
• Structure — STAR / problem-solution / answer-then-evidence
• Confidence — assertion vs hedging
• Listening — did you answer what they actually asked?

Each rule is graded 1-5 with hints. Free + Hour Pack tiers see a "Upgrade to unlock scorecard" lock card here.

Top action buttons

• Replay — for Live sessions, re-opens at /interview. For Ended, opens the AI Answers tab (a "replay" of what the AI did).
• Export — Pro+ only. Downloads the transcript + AI answers as JSON or PDF.
• Delete — same hard-delete as on the list page. Confirmation modal. No undo.
• Share — planned. Will produce a read-only public link to the retrospective (your call to enable).

Common questions

Q: Why is my scorecard tab locked? A: You're on Free or Hour Pack. Upgrade to Pro/Pro+ to unlock the breakdown. Hour Pack gets the top-line score number; only Pro+ gets the rubric breakdown.

Q: How do I download the transcript as a PDF? A: Pro+ only. Export button at the top → JSON or PDF. Free/Pro users can copy-paste from the Transcript tab manually.

Q: The interviewer's lines are labeled as me (and vice versa). A: Speechmatics diarization drift — known issue (BUG-084). Workaround during a live session: Alt+S to swap. After session, there's no swap fix — but you can mentally invert when reviewing.

Q: Can I edit the AI's answers after the fact? A: No — AI answers are immutable. They're a historical record of what the AI said in the moment, which is the whole point of the retrospective.

Q: Where's the audio recording? A: We don't store audio — only transcripts. Audio capture is real-time-only (privacy). To replay actual voice, you'd need to have recorded the Zoom/Meet call separately.

Q: How long are retrospectives kept? A: Forever on paid tiers. Free tier: last 30 days of sessions. Old sessions auto-purge.

Q: Can I download all my session transcripts at once? A: Not yet — per-session only. Bulk export is in the roadmap.

Q: Why does the URL have a UUID instead of a friendly name? A: Session IDs are stable UUIDs so external links (if we ship sharing) don't depend on title. Friendly URLs are a planned addition.

Where it lives in code

Retrospective page: apps/web/app/sessions/[id]/page.tsx. Tabs: _components/overview-tab.tsx, transcript-tab.tsx, ai-answers-tab.tsx, scorecard-tab.tsx in same dir. Export endpoint: apps/api/domains/sessions/export.py.
