The same question, turn by turn

Asked before: “I’m having trouble resizing the gallery widget in the desktop editor.”Asked now: “The gallery widget won’t resize when I try to adjust it in the desktop editor. How can I fix this?”

A real case from the WixQA runs. Each column is one agent turn, and every tool call takes one. Averages are over all questions in each case.

On a hit the lookup returns the sections that worked for the earlier question, and the agent answers on the next turn. On a miss the lookup comes back empty and the agent searches as it would have anyway, one call later.
