Research direction

Start by reading the chat and message flow entry points to understand how existing messages and edits are handled. Clarify the expected branching behavior, including how users choose an earlier message or a different option and what happens to later messages. Done means the desired branching behavior is specified and implemented, with tests covering the relevant user flow.
