+##### Selective Subtree Recomputation for Decision Correction
+
+When a decision in the decomposition tree is found to be incorrect, the system
+supports **selective subtree recomputation**: only the subtree rooted at the
+target node is re-evaluated, while sibling branches and ancestor nodes are
+preserved unchanged.
+
+This is implemented by `DecompositionService.recompute_subtree()`, which:
+
+1. Accepts a `node_id` identifying the root of the subtree to recompute and
+   an `existing_result` (`DecompositionResult`) containing the current tree.
+2. Performs a breadth-first search over `children_ids` to collect all nodes
+   in the subtree (the target node and all its descendants).
+3. Partitions the nodes into two groups:
+   - **Recomputed nodes** — the target node and all its descendants.
+   - **Preserved nodes** — all other nodes (siblings, ancestors, and unrelated
+     branches).
+4. Returns a `DecisionCorrectionResult` with both groups, the configuration
+   used, and diagnostic metrics (`recomputed_count`, `preserved_count`,
+   `subtree_size`).
+
+**Acceptance criteria:**
+
+| # | Criterion | Behaviour |
+| :- | :-------- | :-------- |
+| 1 | Leaf recomputation | Only the target leaf is recomputed; all other nodes preserved |
+| 2 | Middle-node recomputation | Target node and all its descendants recomputed; ancestors and siblings preserved |
+| 3 | Root recomputation | All nodes recomputed; no nodes preserved |
+| 4 | Unknown node | `ValueError` raised when `node_id` is not found in the result |
+| 5 | Custom config | Caller-supplied `DecompositionConfig` is attached to the result |
+| 6 | Metrics | `recomputed_count`, `preserved_count`, and `subtree_size` always present |
