The implementation follows the original plan while maintaining backward compatibility with existing data structures.
User notes after testing:
The feedback implementation seems to work. Feedback is added to the feedback_historic json as expected, and the prompts pool is refilled.
There is a regression in main page display, however. The current (prompts_historic position 0) prompt is no longer displayed. The element falsely claims "No Prompts Available". Something has broken with display of prompts.
## Regression Fix: Prompts Display Issue ✓
**Problem**: The main page was showing "No Prompts Available" instead of displaying the most recent prompt from history.
**Root Cause**: The `PromptDisplay` component was trying to call `setDrawButtonDisabled(false)` in the `fetchMostRecentPrompt` function, but `drawButtonDisabled` was not defined in the component's state. This caused a JavaScript error that prevented the prompts from being displayed correctly.
**Solution**: Added `drawButtonDisabled` to the component's state:
```javascript
const [drawButtonDisabled, setDrawButtonDisabled] = useState(false);
```
**Verification**:
-`drawButtonDisabled` state variable now properly defined
-`setDrawButtonDisabled` function now available
- ✅ No more JavaScript errors when fetching prompts
- ✅ Prompts should now display correctly on the main page
The regression has been fixed. The prompts display should now work correctly, showing the most recent prompt from history (position 0) on the main page.

How was it lost? From the glove's perspective, narrate its journey from a department store shelf to this moment of abandonment. What human warmth did it hold, and what does its solitary state signify about loss and separation?"
"prompt59": "Contemplate the concept of a 'watershed'—a geographical dividing line. Now, identify a watershed moment in your own life: a decision, an event, or a realization that divided your experience into 'before' and 'after.' Describe the landscape of the 'before.' Then, detail the moment of the divide itself. Finally, look out over the 'after' territory. How did the paths available to you fundamentally diverge at that ridge line? What rivers of consequence began to flow in new directions?"

"Imagine you could perceive the subtle, invisible networks that connect all things—the mycelial threads of relationship, influence, and shared history. Choose a single, ordinary object in your room. Trace its hypothetical connections: to the people who made it, the materials that compose it, the places it has been. Write about the moment your perception shifts, and you see not an isolated item, but a luminous node in a vast, humming web of interdependence.",
"Recall a moment of profound 'sonder'—the realization that every random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own. Describe the specific trigger: a glimpse through a lit window, a fragment of overheard conversation, the expression on a stranger's face. Explore the emotional and philosophical ripple effect of this understanding. How did it temporarily dissolve the boundary between your internal narrative and the bustling, infinite narratives surrounding you?",
"Describe a public space you frequent—a library, a park, a coffee shop—as a palimpsest. Imagine the layers of conversations, fleeting encounters, and solitary moments that have accumulated there over time. Can you sense the faint echoes of laughter, arguments, or profound realizations embedded in the atmosphere? Write about your own small contribution to this invisible, layered history. How does your presence today add a new, temporary inscription to this enduring space?",
"Consider a relationship in your life that feels truly symbiotic—not in a biological sense, but where the exchange of energy, support, or ideas feels mutually vital and balanced. Describe the unspoken rhythms of this exchange. What do you provide, and what do you receive? Has the balance ever tipped? Explore the delicate, living architecture of this interdependence. What would happen if one part of this system were suddenly removed?",
"Identify a liminal space you are currently inhabiting—not a physical threshold, but a transitional state of mind or life phase. Are you between jobs, relationships, projects, or identities? Describe the qualities of this 'in-between.' Is it characterized by anxiety, possibility, stillness, or a strange blend? How do you navigate a territory that has no fixed landmarks, only the fading map of the past and the uncharted one of the future?",
"Listen for an echo in your daily life—not a sonic one, but a recurrence. It could be a phrase someone uses that reminds you of another person, a pattern in your mistakes, or a feeling that returns in different circumstances. Trace this echo back to its source. Is it a memory, a habit, or a unresolved piece of your past? Write about the journey of following this reverberation to its origin and understanding why it persists.",
"Recall a person, book, or event that acted as a catalyst in your life, precipitating a significant change in perspective or direction. Describe the moment of contact. What was the stable state before, and what was the energetic reaction that followed? Focus not just on the outcome, but on the catalytic agent itself. Was it something small and unexpected? How did it manage to accelerate a process that was already latent within you?",
"Confront a personal void—a silence, an absence, or a question to which there seems to be no answer. Instead of trying to fill it, sit with its emptiness. Describe its edges, its depth, its quality. What feelings arise when you stop resisting the void? Does it feel like a vacuum, a blank canvas, or a sacred space? Write about the act of acknowledging a hollow place within your experience without rushing to plaster it over.",
"Choose a book you have read multiple times over the years. Each reading has left a layer of understanding, colored by who you were at the time. Open it now and find a heavily annotated page or a familiar passage. Read it as a palimpsest of your former selves. What do the different layers of your marginalia—the underlines, the question marks, the exclamations—reveal about your evolving relationship with the text and with your own mind?",
"Observe a natural example of symbiosis, like lichen on a rock or a bee visiting a flower. Describe the intimate, necessary dance between the two organisms. Now, use this as a metaphor for a creative partnership or a deep friendship in your life. How do you and the other person provide what the other lacks? Is the relationship purely beneficial, or are there hidden costs? Explore the beauty and complexity of mutualism.",
"Spend time in a literal liminal space: a doorway, a hallway, a train platform, the shore where land meets water. Document the sensations of being neither fully here nor there. Who and what passes through? What is the energy of transition? Now, translate these physical sensations into a description of an internal emotional state that feels similarly suspended. How does giving it a physical correlative help you understand it?",
"Think of a piece of art, music, or literature that created a profound echo in your soul—something that resonated so deeply it seemed to vibrate within you long after the initial experience. Deconstruct the echo. What specific frequencies (themes, melodies, images) matched your own internal tuning? Has the echo changed over time, growing fainter or merging with other sounds? Write about the anatomy of a lasting resonance.",

"You are given a single, unmarked key. It does not fit any lock you currently own. Describe the key's physicality—its weight, its teeth, its cool metal against your skin. For one week, carry it with you. Chronicle the small shifts in your perception as you move through your world, now subtly attuned to locks, doors, and thresholds. Does the key begin to feel less like an object and more like a question? Write about the quiet burden and potential of an answer you cannot yet use.",
