🧹 remove placeholder field initialization in experiment.js

[hashexplaindata]

The redundant semantic_justification: null initialization was removed from the trial selection logic in code/experiment.js. This property is handled collectively at the end of the experiment in the executeBatchPayload function, where the user's semantic justification is applied to all recorded trial results before synchronization. This change removes dead code and improves the maintainability of the telemetry engine. Verification was performed using a Playwright script to ensure data integrity is preserved.

Code Review

This pull request removes the redundant initialization of the semantic_justification field to null within the handleUserSelection function in code/experiment.js. As described, this property is correctly assigned its final value for all trial results later in the executeBatchPayload function. This change effectively removes unnecessary code, which is a good practice for maintainability. The change is correct and I have no further feedback.

[Copilot]

Pull request overview

Removes a redundant placeholder field initialization in the trial result logging path, relying on the existing end-of-experiment enrichment in executeBatchPayload to attach the participant’s semantic justification before syncing.

Changes:

• Removed semantic_justification: null placeholder from per-trial result rows in handleUserSelection.
• Keeps semantic_justification applied in one place (executeBatchPayload) for all recorded rows prior to batch write/sync.
