Figure 2. Exact message timelines for the four interaction protocols. (A) Exp1 (Batch-Single): Five wrong-peer signals are presented together, followed by one final response; (B) Exp2 (Sequential-Final): Five wrong-peer signals are presented in successive user turns, followed by one final response; (C) Exp3 (Sequential-Stepwise): The model responds after each peer signal, retaining earlier responses in the conversation history; Step 5 is the final response; (D) Exp4 (Batch-Self-Iterative): All five peer signals are presented together, followed by five self-iterations; Iteration 5 is the final response.
