From 5d1f1001f42f27548689953149eea74de3683008 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shay Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 08:51:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] feat(adr-0174-phase3a): lookback re-evaluation operator + pronoun resolution substrate MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ADR-0174 Phase 3a — substrate for held-hypothesis lookback. Score unchanged at 3/47/0 (this PR is correctly-engineered infrastructure; eval impact gated on ADR-0163.x recognizer expansion documented in the follow-up brief). Adds generate/comprehension/lookback.py: - VALID_REFINEMENT_KINDS, VALID_UNRESOLVED_SLOTS — closed sets contracted with reader_trace consumer - PronounResolution refinement dataclass (pronoun + resolved_to + evidence_source, all validated) - Refinement Union (Phase 3b will widen with CompoundClauseExpansion) - ReevaluateResult dataclass with admit/eliminate consistency - reevaluate(hypothesis, refinement) operator — applies refinement, re-runs check_constraints, returns refined Hypothesis or None. - _rebuild_candidate_with_resolved_actor — rebuilds CandidateOperation / CandidateInitial replacing the semantic actor field (op.actor / initial.entity) while preserving matched_actor_token / matched_entity_token as the pronoun (so grounding still passes against the held statement's source span). Modifies generate/recognizer_match.py: - _try_extract_discrete_count_anchor: pronoun-subject statements now emit anchors with subject_role= + requires_pronoun_resolution marker, rather than refusing at the _REFUSED_SUBJECT_TOKENS check. The other narrowness layers (clause split, verb whitelist) still refuse; only the pronoun layer changes. Modifies generate/math_candidate_graph.py: - After inject_from_match, when any parsed_anchor carries requires_pronoun_resolution, the candidates are held as Hypothesis objects with unresolved=('actor_pronoun',). The lookback path then resolves via the existing _discourse_prior_subjects map and runs PronounResolution refinements through reevaluate. Resolved hypotheses flow into per_sentence_choices as if the regex parser had produced them; unresolved hypotheses drop cleanly (refusal- preferring). Emits 'lookback' JSON trace events with outcome ∈ {admitted, eliminated, no_antecedent}. Tests: - tests/test_adr_0174_phase3_lookback.py — 17 acceptance tests covering operator semantics on Operation/Initial, dataclass invariants, closed-set constants, end-to-end wiring on synthetic problems, and wrong=0 preservation on train_sample. Phase 3.1 follow-up brief: - docs/handoff/PHASE-3.1-FOLLOWUP-RECOGNIZER-EXPANSION.md documents the empirical finding that the train_sample bottleneck is verb-coverage (recognizer scope, ADR-0163.x) not lookback (ADR-0174 scope). 11 verbs identified for HITL contemplation pass. Recommends sequencing: Phase 3a now (substrate), ADR-0163.x verb expansion next, Phase 3b after coverage matures. Acceptance verified: - 17/17 Phase 3a tests pass - 95/95 existing tests pass (Phase 1 + Phase 2 + brief_11 + reader_phase2) - Smoke 67/67, packs 141/141, lanes 8/8 - wrong=0 preserved, score unchanged 3/47/0 (intentional per brief) Stacks on Phase 2 (PR #420).

The candidate-graph's regex path (`_filtered_statement_choices`) + must return empty for the same statement — otherwise the regex + path commits the candidate (with the pronoun still as actor) and + the recognizer-injection branch never runs. + +Verb checks against the 13 cases with compound/pronoun structure: + +| Case | Statement (excerpt) | Verb | In whitelist? | +|---|---|---|---| +| 0002 | She **splits** it up... | splits | No | +| 0034 | He can **run** 40 yards... | run | No | +| 0020 | Two puppies, two kittens... **were for sale**... | were | No | +| 0021 | He **bench presses** 15 pounds... | presses | No | +| 0027 | Malcolm **has** 240 followers... | has | **Yes** | +| 0033 | Rachel **is** 12 years old... | is | No | +| 0040 | He now **has** 2 horses... | has | **Yes** | +| 0041 | Troy **bakes** 2 pans... | bakes | No | +| 0044 | John **invests** in a bank... | invests | No | +| 0045 | On Monday he **finished** 3 surveys... | finished | No | +| 0047 | John **bakes** 12 coconut macaroons... | bakes | No | +| ... | | | | + +Only **two** cases (0027, 0040) cross the verb whitelist. Both also +fail at the compound-clause narrowness layer (which comes earlier +than the pronoun check), so even adding compound-clause held +hypotheses (Phase 3b) would have to fire first. + +**Conclusion:** the empirical bottleneck on train_sample/v1 is +**verb-set coverage**, not lookback or held hypotheses. ADR-0174 is +the wrong tool for moving this score. + +## Recommended path forward + +ADR-0163 is the correct scope for verb-coverage expansion via the +HITL corridor. The path: + +1. **Run `core eval math-contemplation` on the 11 failing verbs** — + `splits`, `run`, `bench presses`, `is`, `bakes`, `invests`, + `finished`, `donated`, `wants`, `gained`, `eat`. These surface as + `MathReaderRefusalEvidence` audit rows that the contemplation lane + already consumes (ADR-0167). +2. **Operator review in workbench** — categorise each verb: + - Acquisition-class (engine should treat as `add`): `received`, + `bought`, etc. — verbs that grammatically gain quantity to actor. + Candidates from list: `gained`, `won`, `earned`, `saved`, + `accumulated`, `acquired`. + - Depletion-class (engine should treat as `subtract`): `gives`, + `loses`, `spends`. Candidates: `donated`, `gave`, `eats`, + `consumed`, `lost`, `spent`. + - Non-arithmetic verbs (engine should refuse and ask): `is`, + `wants`, `bench presses`, `splits`, `run`, `bakes`, `invests`. + These do not carry possession/acquisition semantics; the right + answer is a different intent (rate / capacity / descriptive), + not a wider `add`/`subtract` whitelist. + + The first two classes ratify into the registry via the existing + ADR-0150/0152 corridor (proposal → review → packed). The third + class becomes refusal-typed evidence that informs whether a + separate recognizer category is needed (e.g. a `capacity_statement` + recognizer for "He can run 40 yards in 5 seconds" rather than + forcing it into `discrete_count_statement`). + +3. **After verb widening lands** — re-run Phase 3a's lookback wiring + on the corpus. The cases that were previously verb-blocked now + reach the pronoun-check layer, and the held-hypothesis path admits + them. Expected lift from this combination: roughly the 13 cases + with pronoun/compound structure that have an arithmetic-class verb + under the widened whitelist. + +## What this means for ADR-0174 + +The held-hypothesis substrate (Phase 1 + 2 + 3a) is correct +architecture and load-bearing for Phase 4 (in-loop contemplation) and +Phase 5 (legacy-parser removal). Its **eval impact** depends on +upstream recognizer coverage maturing through the ADR-0163.x +corridor. These two efforts are complementary, not competing — the +substrate makes lookback possible, the recognizer expansion gives +lookback something to fire on. + +The cleanest sequencing is: + +1. **ADR-0174 Phase 3a (this PR)** — substrate landed. +2. **ADR-0163.x verb expansion** (this brief's recommendation) — + widens the corpus surface that the substrate can act on. +3. **ADR-0174 Phase 3b** — compound-clause held hypotheses. Once the + verb-coverage bottleneck is gone, compound-clause expansion + surfaces real cases. Currently it would surface zero on + train_sample for the same reason Phase 3a does: most compound + cases also fail the verb check before reaching the clause-split + narrowness layer. +4. **ADR-0174 Phase 4** — in-loop contemplation. Builds on Phase 3 + substrate. +5. **ADR-0174 Phase 5** — legacy parser removal. + +## Decision needed (from operator) + +- **Authorise the ADR-0163.x verb-expansion contemplation pass?** + Concretely: run `core eval math-contemplation` against the 11 + failing verbs above; review the proposals in workbench; ratify + acquisition/depletion entries that are unambiguous. + +- **Re-scope ADR-0174 Phase 3b** to "post-recognizer-expansion + re-measurement" rather than "compound-clause held hypotheses"? + Phase 3b should land only after verb expansion exposes cases that + exercise its compound-clause logic. + +No timelines are proposed; this is a sequencing recommendation. The +substrate work in Phase 3a is already merged on its own merits +(correctness and Phase 4/5 prerequisite); Phase 3b waits on +recognizer coverage. + +## Cross-references + +- ADR-0174 §Phase 3 acceptance — the criteria this brief documents + as unmet (with structural-cause analysis). +- `tests/test_adr_0174_phase3_lookback.py` — proves the substrate + works on synthetic problems even though no train_sample case + exercises it. +- `feedback-wrong-zero-hazard-case-0050` memory — verb expansion + must preserve the case-0050 canary; the recommended depletion-class + additions should be reviewed against this hazard before ratification. +- `thesis-decoding-not-generating` — the verb-class + contemplation/HITL path is the right "teach the engine to find + better" mechanism; widening the static whitelist directly would be + "storing another found thing." diff --git a/generate/comprehension/lookback.py b/generate/comprehension/lookback.py new file mode 100644 index 00000000..4dffe3d4 --- /dev/null +++ b/generate/comprehension/lookback.py @@ -0,0 +1,387 @@ +"""ADR-0174 Phase 3 — lookback re-evaluation operator. + +When a hypothesis carries unresolved slots (entries in +``Hypothesis.unresolved``), a later token can refine those slots — +binding a pronoun to its proper-noun antecedent, attaching a unit to a +dangling quantity, narrowing an ambiguous verb category.
