Supplier Bot Production Handoff - Thermal Mug Live Round

Self-contained handoff for Lokesh: live proof, transcript trail, cross-chat comparison, and exact production port boundary
24 March 2026

I. Executive Summary

Suppliers Launched
12
6 primary + 6 supplemental
Usable Conversations
6
conversationId recovered
Real Supplier Replies
2
both from primary batch
Strongest Coverage
9/11
compare-ready supplier row

The goal of this stage was to finish one real supplier-bot round end-to-end, then package transcript -> summary -> cross-chat comparison -> context injection so Sourcy can port the intelligence layer into production. That bar is now met.

Across the primary and supplemental thermal mug batches, the system launched 12 fresh suppliers, converted 6 into usable conversations, received 2 real supplier replies, and sent 2 successful live follow-up turns1.

Recommendation Proceed with Lokesh handoff now. Port the intelligence layer immediately, keep syncing the healthy threads, and let Tek fix conversationId reliability in parallel.

II. What This Stage Delivers

Deliverable What It Proves
Live transcript proof Real suppliers replied on Sourcy's live Alibaba path, not a synthetic eval.
Single-chat structured summary tm-06 shows one live thread converted into Sourcy-facing fields.
Cross-chat comparison and injected context tm-05 shows the next bot turn generated with context from another supplier thread.
Exact production port boundary Lokesh can port prompt, goal generation, extraction contract, and context injection now without waiting for Tek's infra fix.

This page is the operator-facing summary. Attachment A contains the transcript excerpts and live batch snapshot that act as the evidence base for the claims here2.


III. Live Round Outcome

Round Launched Usable Replies Live Follow-Ups Notes
Primary thermal mug batch 6 4 2 2 tm-02 and tm-03 stalled at pending_conversation_id.
Supplemental thermal mug batch 6 2 0 0 ts-03 to ts-06 showed the same stall shape.
Non-blocking weakness The remaining failure mode is not bot intelligence. Some product URLs trigger a browser-worker external-app modal, and those tasks stay in pending_conversation_id without ever exposing a usable conversationId1.

The practical operating rule is to over-sample within the same category, keep the conversations that convert, and replace stalled listings instead of waiting for perfect infrastructure behavior1.


IV. One Complete Walkthrough

Step 1

Live Thread Starts

tm-06 reaches a real supplier through Sourcy's product-URL entry path.

Step 2

Structured Extraction

The live transcript is converted into Sourcy-facing fields and a normalized conversation status.

Step 3

Cross-Chat Summary

The supplier row becomes compare-ready and updates the shared comparison state.

Step 4

Context Injection

tm-05 receives injected cross-supplier context before the next bot turn is drafted.

Strongest live thread: tm-06

Field Live Value
MOQ 500 units confirmed for the 16oz variant.
Price USD 2.58 per unit for 500 pcs with one-color logo.
Material Inner 304 stainless steel, outer 201 stainless steel.
Packing White box; carton 56 x 56 x 30 cm; 50 pcs per carton; 19/18 kgs.
Artwork Supplier asked for the design file and offered to help prepare the design drawing.
Still missing Certification and sample terms; final lead time is still awaiting reply.

This one thread already proves the single-chat summary path and yields a compare-ready supplier row with 9/11 fields populated in the current handoff contract2.

Context injection shown live: tm-05

When tm-05 replied with clarifying questions, the next bot turn was generated with cross-supplier context already injected. That injected context contained tm-06's confirmed MOQ, price, customization, packing, and artwork points, and the bot used that context to push directly on the target unit price3.

Why this matters The handoff is not just "we got a supplier to answer." It proves the exact chain Lokesh needs: transcript -> structured summary -> comparison row -> injected context in the next live turn.

V. Exact Port Boundary

Component Port Now? Owner
dyn-v2 prompt plus prompt builder Yes Sourcy app layer
Goal generation from SR Yes Sourcy app layer
context-builder.js output contract Yes Sourcy app layer
Comparison table and injection text Yes Sourcy app layer
Supplier over-sampling operating rule Yes Ops / orchestration
Browser modal suppression and reliable conversation recovery No, fix in parallel Tek / Sourcy infra

Port Now

  • Prompt and goals are already shaped around Sourcy's SR schema.
  • Structured output is strong enough for direct field mapping.
  • Cross-chat injection is proven on a real live thread.
  • Over-sampling removes the need to wait for perfect infra.

Do Not Wait For

  • Perfect browser-worker stability on every URL.
  • Guaranteed conversation recovery after the first send.
  • A second eval round before porting the intelligence layer.
  • Full production hardening of Tek's worker path.

VI. Published Deliverables

The internal operator package in the repo still contains the raw manifests, machine-readable package summaries, and working notes. The two published pages above are the self-contained version Lokesh can review without opening workspace files.

Verdict

This stage is complete. The system has now shown a real live round, a real transcript, a structured single-chat summary, a cross-chat comparison path, and a live example of injected cross-supplier context. Lokesh can use this package as the handoff boundary now, while Tek fixes the browser-path failure in parallel.
