The L10 heartbeat (chat/always_on, #747) holds CORE alive over uptime but had no
surface. This adds the read-only Lived Life route that renders the continuous-life
evidence: the heartbeat over uptime + the resume-as-same-life verdict — both halves
of "one continuous life" on one surface.
Persist-first, never recompute engine-owned values:
- chat/always_on: serialize_report + write_lived_life persist a run deterministically
(sorted keys) to engine_state/lived_life.json; run_continuous gains an opt-in
report_path so a real continuous-life run leaves its evidence where the workbench
reads it. closure_ceiling is persisted so the artifact is self-describing.
- workbench/lived_life.py: projection + a fail-closed validate() gate — the wrong=0
analogue for the continuity surface: closure_held/closure_observed/totals/converged
are each re-checked against the per-beat measurements, and resume_status is re-checked
against identity-vs-current-substrate, so a tampered artifact RAISES rather than
rendering a false claim (a beat lying about a breached ceiling, an inflated closure,
a miscounted total, a falsely-claimed resume).
- workbench/readers.lived_life(): reads the artifact, computes the resume verdict from
the persisted identity vs the canonical engine_identity_for_config (fail-soft ->
"unknown", like IdentityContinuity). Honest absence when no run has been persisted.
- GET /lived-life + LivedLife/LivedLifeHeartbeat schemas (snapshot regenerated; the
schema-drift gate proves every field is mirrored in src/types/api.ts).
The resume verdict made felt: would_resume / substrate_changed / unknown IS the L11
reboot guarantee (a reboot recomputes identity and refuses if it differs) — so the
surface shows this life wakes up as ITSELF, not a copy. The per-reboot lineage chain
stays owned by Runs > Identity (honest cross-link).
Frontend: /lived-life route (Evidence section, route count 15 -> 16). Renders the
headline (heartbeats, closure-held-by-construction, learned-while-idle, at-rest, resume
pill), the summary, the heartbeat timeline (closure flat below the ceiling — read, never
repaired), and the resume verdict. Honest absence + ADR-0162 route conformance
(loading/error/empty), fail-closed like Vault/Calibration.
Tests (non-vacuous): 12 backend (every tamper case raises; resume tracks identity vs
substrate; run_continuous(report_path) round-trips a readable+valid artifact) + 4
frontend render tests (recorded life renders; a breached beat shows the warning, never a
false "held"; a changed substrate shows would-refuse, never a false resume; absent shows
honest absence). All workbench Python (167) + affected vitest (167) + tsc + vite build
green; architectural invariants green.
engine_state/lived_life.json is runtime state (gitignored, ADR-0146 pattern).
Evidence-based map of the comprehension coverage wall (the C decision). GSM8K
diagnostic: 4/0/46, no single barrier >10%, ~24 fragmented primary barriers with
heavy multi-barrier co-occurrence (compound+comparative+fraction+coreference stack
on the same cases). Capability lanes are narrow curated-gold conformance
(combined-rate: 6 solvable shapes, 19/19 oracle). Single-shape recognizers are
proven metric-inert (4th confirmation). Diagnosis: shape-recognizers don't COMPOSE
within compound statements / across coreference. Leverage: Tier 1 recognizer
additions ~+5 cases then cap; Tier 2 compositional reading is the only real lever
(architectural, must stay wrong=0). Recommendation: don't add isolated recognizers;
design a compositional reader.
The only genuine epistemic lever (per the finding). Scopes the ADR-0218 path: it
is the inductive step (coherent premises + verified proof -> coherent conclusion),
fail-closed and sound, but needs a curator-certified COHERENT base that nothing
mints today (bootstrapping). Wiring buys an honesty/disclosure upgrade (verified
for proven propositional conclusions), NOT a learning fix. wrong=0 risk shifts
entirely to the curator-certified base. Three options framed (wire narrowly /
record curator-mediated-by-design / defer) with recommendation.
7-agent architecture audit + adversarial verification refutes the intuition that
all-speculative packs cap the model's learning. The reasoning/learning loop is
blind to epistemic_status (recall_realized ignores it; speculative facts chain to
deductive-closure fixed point). Lexicon-status promotion is compile-and-display-only
(runtime epistemic state comes from grounding_source, not the lexical row). The
verified/as_told distinction is honesty-disclosure-only and intentional. All three
coherence-promoters are dormant (proof-carrying demo-only, energy-policy default-off,
review never sets coherent). Conclusion: do NOT promote-to-coherent for learning
(cosmetic at best, false-verified wrong=0 hazard for facts); the only genuine lever
is wiring the sound, fail-closed proof-carrying path — a separate deliberate decision.
Measuring the holonomy tri-language resonance (intended for a Studio proof-card)
showed it is NOT a robust proof: the engine's own holonomy_similarity (CGA inner
product) anti-correlates, and the Euclidean 'aligned closer than misaligned'
claim passes only via averaging in the close Hebrew distance + one cherry-picked
negative (1.3% margin) — the aligned Greek clause is itself farther than the
negative, and the verdict flips ±20-55% under other negatives. Decoration, not
proof (CLAUDE.md, Schema-Defined Proof Obligations).
- docs/analysis/holonomy-resonance-proof-not-robust-2026-06-14.md: the rigorous
finding (numbers), why a Holonomy proof tab cannot be built honestly yet
(stays missing_evidence), and bounded research questions.
- Downgrade the two clause-resonance decoration tests to honest tripwires that
assert the true state and fail (pointing to the doc) if the resonance becomes
real. Token-pair cga_inner tests left intact + flagged as a separate, un-audited
claim.
70 holonomy-adjacent tests pass.
- New docs/workbench/EVALUATOR.md: a falsifiable 10-minute guided path for an
external technical evaluator (tour -> replay hash -> wrong=0 ledger ->
calibration arena -> logos geometry), an honest-scope section (verified
flagship = propositional entailment; GSM8K diagnostic; field = coherence-gate
not reasoner; holonomy = roadmap), and a 'verify, don't trust' section. Every
reference points at a real file/surface (checked).
- README: 'fourteen' -> 'fifteen' routes + add CORE-Logos (LG-2/3/4 drift fix);
point new evaluators at EVALUATOR.md.
The workbench READMEs were frozen in the W-026..W-031 planning era. Bring them
current after the Wave 1 / R / M arc:
- docs/workbench/README.md (index): add the 5 unindexed docs (wave-1-evidence-
spine, wave-R-mastery-revamp, wave-M-worthiness, b4-leeway-producer-scope,
design-system); replace the false "Current Status" (which still pointed at the
superseded feat/w026 prototype) with the shipped state + a 14-route surface
table; mark the W-026..W-031 queue delivered; note Wave M complete (B+C+D+B4),
Phase E + parallel tracks remaining.
- workbench-ui/README.md: fix the stale one-line surface list and the "src/routes
placeholder components" description (routes are registry-driven in src/app/;
routes.ts is the single source). Left the dump-api-schemas.py reference intact
(it exists, distinct from dump-schemas.py).
- README.md (top level): the workbench section said "eleven routes" — now
fourteen, naming Tour, Contemplation, and Calibration and the per-turn
pipeline/field/leeway/bundle evidence.
Docs-only; no code or gate touched. UI-UX-GUIDE (the routes.docs.test-gated
route table) is unchanged and already at 14.
Clears the long-standing B4 block: the leeway decision was already made on the
serving path (chat/runtime.py::_surface_estimate has a real LicenseDecision +
the ReachPolicy) and then DISCARDED — never threaded to the result, and the
workbench can't import reliability_gate. This wires it through.
Producer (observational, never authorizing):
- core/cognition/leeway.py: LeewayRecord + build_leeway_record(reach_level,
license_decision) — duck-typed on the decision, zero new cross-package
coupling. Maps to: no decision -> "unknown" (STRICT, no latitude); denied
-> "blocked" (gate consulted, said no); licensed SERVE/PROPOSE widening ->
the real class / theta / "[approximate]" disclosure. "verified" is never
emitted (RESERVED state). source_digest content-addresses the decision
(deterministic, no wall-clock).
- core/cognition/result.py: additive `leeway: LeewayRecord | None = None` on
CognitiveTurnResult.
- core/cognition/pipeline.py: build it at result construction from the data
the runtime ALREADY exposes (response.reach_level +
runtime.last_turn_accrual().license). chat/runtime.py is UNTOUCHED.
- workbench/api.py: _leeway_evidence_from_result maps result.leeway ->
LeewayEvidence (pure projection; no reliability_gate import — firewall
intact). The journal already persists it; the B4a UI (Replay / Proposals /
RightInspector) already renders it — no frontend or schema change needed.
Safety (this touches the serving path, so proven, not asserted):
- trace_hash is a NAMED-field hash (core/cognition/trace.py); `leeway` is not
in it -> byte-identical serving. All provenance/trace tests pass.
- response_governance STRICT stays byte-identical (375 governance/serving/
provenance tests green, incl. the live-wiring + estimation-lane + ADR-0206
seam tests).
- core eval cognition: 13 cases, 100% intent / groundedness / versor closure.
- replay determinism holds (leeway is in CRITICAL_FIELDS; deterministic).
Tests: engine (build_leeway_record: strict/blocked/SERVE/PROPOSE, no "verified",
deterministic digest) + workbench mapping (field-for-field, honest absence,
invalid-enum clamp) + integration (a real turn now carries an honest leeway
record, not the null "No evidence recorded"). 151 workbench/leeway Python + 68
frontend (leeway/replay/proposals/schemaDrift) green; schema-snapshot unchanged.
Docs: gate cleared (b4-leeway-feasibility-gate.md), residue ledger flipped to
implemented, scope brief is b4-leeway-producer-scope-2026-06-13.md.
The leeway decision already exists at chat/runtime.py::_surface_estimate
(accrual.license is a real LicenseDecision) but is discarded — never threaded to
CognitiveTurnResult, and the workbench can't import reliability_gate. Brief lays
out: the exact producer seam, the LicenseDecision/ReachPolicy -> LeewayEvidence
mapping, two honest layers (STRICT-now / earned-APPROXIMATE), the firewall-safe
workbench mapping, constraints, a minimal additive Layer-1 first PR, and 4 open
questions.
The "they'd want to use it" first-run surface: a curated narrative that makes
the engine's discipline legible to a newcomer — bring a claim from any model and
watch it get decided, refused, or replayed. Proposer authority ignored.
Honest by construction (the risk with a narrative surface is theater):
- workbench/tour.py determinism_tour() is a curated ordered narrative BOUND to
the real demo registry. Intro (provider-agnostic thesis) → three demo steps
(deductive entailment decides only on engine+oracle agreement; epistemic
truth-state refuses a wrong proposer; proof-carrying promotion ignores
proposer authority) → payoff (replay-to-same-hash + the citable evidence
bundle).
- Each demo step's what_this_proves / what_this_does_not_prove cards and the
demo title are PULLED FROM THE REAL DEMO SPEC — never re-authored — so the
tour can never claim more than the demo it points at.
- A step referencing a missing demo FAILS CLOSED (KeyError), not a dead link.
Tests assert both (cards == spec; phantom demo raises).
Backend: schemas.py DeterminismTour/TourStep; GET /tour. schema-snapshot regen.
Frontend: /tour route registered in the registry (Determinism section, 14
routes; nav/palette/guide counts updated); TourRoute — thesis hero + ordered
step cards with the honesty cards + links to the real demos / replay.
Validation: 140 workbench Python tests incl. tour drift guards; 472/472 frontend
incl. routes/routeConformance/routes.docs (guide↔registry), Shell+palette counts
(14), schemaDrift, and the tour UI test; pnpm build clean; git diff --check
clean. No serving-path imports.
The "they'd want to use it" deliverable: a turn's evidence exported as ONE
deterministic, content-addressed, citable artifact — composing the Phase-C
evidence (pipeline + field) with the trace and the calibration leeway verdict.
Backend (read-only, no engine execution):
- schemas.py: EvidenceBundle.
- workbench/evidence_bundle.py: build_evidence_bundle(entry) assembles a turn
journal entry into the bundle and computes bundle_digest. The digest
content-addresses the DETERMINISTIC cognitive evidence only — journal
position + wall-clock (turn_id, journal_digest, replay_reproducer,
generated_from) are carried for provenance but EXCLUDED, so the same turn
content reproduces the same digest regardless of journal position.
- api.py: GET /trace/{turn_id}/bundle. schema-snapshot.json regenerated.
The bundle carries a replay *reproducer* command (how to verify) rather than a
live-run replay, so the artifact itself stays deterministic — verification is
the consumer's step: re-run the prompt sealed, confirm trace_hash, recompute the
bundle, check the digest.
Frontend:
- types/api.ts EvidenceBundle; client/query hook; Trace route **Bundle** tab —
citable digest, "what this proves / does not prove" honesty note, the
reproducer, and a deterministic JSON download (Blob anchor, leak-safe).
Validation: 135 workbench Python tests incl. non-vacuous bundle guards (digest
reproducible, journal-position/wall-clock excluded, any evidence change flips
the digest, missing Phase-C evidence honest); 468/468 frontend incl. schemaDrift
+ the citable-download bundle test; pnpm build clean; git diff --check clean. No
serving-path imports.
C2-a surfaced contemplation runs but rendered each scene as a flat JSON dump —
outputs, not process. C2-b makes the loop legible: every scene is now a typed
stage in the canonical ADR-0172 arc.
Reader-first (no theater):
- schemas.py: ContemplationScene gains a typed loop projection — stage_role
(cold_attempt | engine_enrichment | engine_proposal | operator_ratifies |
grounded | other) plus the connective ids (proposal_id, candidate_id,
proposal_state, grounding_source). New ContemplationStageRole Literal.
- readers.py: _contemplation_scenes derives stage_role from the scene id
(closed set, "other" fallback) and pulls the connective ids out of the raw
detail. schema-snapshot.json regenerated.
UI:
- ContemplationRoute: the run detail now renders the arc as a staged process —
"attempt → enrich → propose → ratify → grounded" with named stage roles,
cold→grounded bookends (surfaces pulled out of before/after), the connective
ids as evidence, and the raw detail tucked into a collapsible (not lost).
Honest wrinkle (surfaced, not faked): the fixture proposals do NOT resolve in
the live proposal log (source_kinds exemplar_corpus/operator, none
contemplation), so the proposal id is shown as evidence but is intentionally
NOT a clickable cross-route link — a dead link would be theater. Live
Proposals/Calibration navigation is deferred to reader-verified linking once
real contemplation proposals reach the log.
Validation: 128 workbench Python tests + new reader-projection tests (canonical
arc → roles, unknown → "other", id extraction, detail preserved); 466/466
frontend incl. schemaDrift + the staged-process / no-dead-link test; pnpm build
clean; git diff --check clean. No serving-path imports.
Makes the CL(4,1) field geometry legible, honestly. The engine owns the field;
this surfaces ONLY the exact scalar invariants it computes — never the raw
multivector — so the workbench shows "this is the geometry, it's exact, it
can't fake coherence" without a decorative blob or any motion.
Persist-first (the C3 gating work was Python, not React): the honest scalars
were computed live per turn but discarded. Now captured per turn into the
journal so a read-only surface has real evidence.
Backend:
- workbench/field_evidence.py: FieldEvidence computed from the engine result —
exact versor_condition, field_valid (vs the 1e-6 ceiling), a content-
addressed field_digest (sha256 of the engine-canonical array bytes), and
cga_inner(before, after) as the exact transition value. Raw field bytes
never cross the boundary: only floats + digests. validate() is fail-closed —
field_valid can never disagree with versor_condition vs the ceiling (the
wrong=0 analogue for the geometry). No engine math re-implemented
(versor_condition / cga_inner imported from algebra; bytes via array_codec).
- workbench/schemas.py: FieldEvidence dataclass; field_evidence on
ChatTurnResult + TurnJournalEntrySchema. schema-snapshot.json regenerated.
- workbench/journal.py + api.py: persisted at from_chat_turn; first-class read
endpoint GET /trace/{turn_id}/field (trace facet, consistent with /pipeline).
- workbench/replay.py: field_evidence classified CRITICAL — replay now also
proves field determinism (digest + scalars must match on re-execution).
Frontend:
- types/api.ts FieldEvidence + field_evidence passthrough; client/query hook;
FieldInvariantCard (measured value vs ceiling, cga_inner transition, digests;
honest missing_evidence; no blob, no motion); Trace route Field tab.
Honest-empty for pre-widening journal rows (missing_evidence). Deferred:
cross-turn field-coherence trends, session-level field persistence.
Validation: 138 workbench/practice Python tests (incl. non-vacuous field guards
+ replay field-determinism); 465/465 frontend incl. schemaDrift; pnpm build
clean; git diff --check clean. No generate.derivation / reliability_gate /
stream / field.propagate / vault.store imports.
Lands the Phase C "make cognition legible" slice plus Phase A residue, all
backend-reader-first over real engine data (no theater, read-only doctrine
intact, zero serving-path imports).
C1-a — Cognitive pipeline record (persistence-first, per #729 worthiness edit):
- workbench/pipeline_record.py: curated CognitivePipelineRecord over the real
CognitiveTurnResult (input → intent → proposition_graph → articulation_target
→ realizer → walk_telemetry → trace_hash). Raw field multivectors are
DELIBERATELY excluded; _assert_no_raw_field_payload recursively rejects raw
field keys, and validate_pipeline_record fails closed on missing/duplicate
stages, non-recorded status, or dangling edges — the UI can never receive a
partial record that claims to be complete.
- test_workbench_pipeline_record.py: non-vacuous guards — missing stage,
monkeypatched new required stage, and injected raw {"F": [...]} each raise.
C2-a — Contemplation as a process: /contemplation route over real persisted
contemplation/runs/*.json (glob reader; honest-empty when absent).
C4-a — Identity continuity (L10/L11): RunDetail.identity_continuity + Runs
Identity tab, sourced from the real core.engine_identity (engine_identity /
parent_engine_identity lineage relation, re-derived to verify).
Demo Theater: renders backend-owned proof-promotion + entailment DAGs.
Phase A residue: density preference wired end-to-end (settings → shell → tokens);
cross-route consistency touch-ups.
Infra: local API CORS now echoes only validated 127.0.0.1/localhost origins
(hostname-checked, not arbitrary reflection) so Vite fallback ports work.
Route chunk-split keeps the build warning-free.
Cleanup: corrected the stale ADR-0175 practice-lane assertions (build_report is
6 correct / 0 wrong / 44 refused after the current serving lane; wrong=0 held)
and the two registry-derived count tests (LeftNav + CommandPalette 12 → 13 for
the new Contemplation route).
Docs: runtime_contracts.md (pipeline-record contract), UI-UX-GUIDE,
api-contract-v1, data-shapes-v1, wave-M-worthiness, phase-a-residue-ledger.
Validation: 106 workbench/practice Python tests green (incl. wrong=0 lane +
pipeline-record fail-closed guards); 459/459 frontend; pnpm build clean;
git diff --check clean. No generate.derivation / reliability_gate / stream /
field.propagate / vault.store imports.
Completes the Wave M B3.5 consolidation slice (b–e), built on #728.
B3.5-b — calibration as a first-class evidence subject (`calibration_class`,
address `calibration:<class_name>`): RightInspector projection + Evidence
Chain Rail semantics (serving-discipline evidence, not runtime truth).
B3.5-c / B4a — nullable `LeewayEvidence` read model threaded through turn,
replay, cognition-proposal, and math-proposal surfaces, with a shared
absence-honest card. B4 is gated correctly: the tuple exists in typed data but
no producer populates it, so the card renders absence (verified: no non-null
producer in workbench/core/chat).
B3.5-d/e — UI-UX-GUIDE.md, b4-leeway-feasibility-gate.md, phase-a-residue-ledger.md.
Practice artifact — earn-it-for-real (runner-reproducible). The committed
`report.json` (additive earns PROPOSE @0.861, 95/5/50) is now emitted by a
deterministic runner rather than copied from the queue. `propose_runner`
gains `regenerate_practice_artifacts()`, which runs ONE sealed `resolve_pooled`
practice pass and writes BOTH report.json (the per-class ledger the calibration
reader consumes) and ratification_queue.json — two projections of one ledger,
coherent by construction and byte-reproducible. `runner.main()` delegates to
it (lazy import, no cycle), so both entry points produce the identical pair.
This closes the gap where a hand-copied report.json agreed with the queue but
no runner produced it. `resolve_pooled` is the aggressive sealed PROPOSE-regime
scorer (proposal-only/HITL, unsafe for serving, legitimate for
attempt-and-eliminate); wrong=5 is the sealed-practice learning signal, NOT the
serving wrong=0. No serving/derivation/reliability_gate source touched; the
practice lane is not in the serving-frozen SHA gate.
Validated:
- python -m pytest tests/test_workbench_{calibration,journal,replay,schemas}.py -> 31 passed
- python -m pytest tests/ -k "workbench or propose or learning_arena or practice"
-> 190 passed (3 failing tests in test_adr_0175_phase2_practice_lane.py are
PRE-EXISTING reds on clean origin/main: stale 4/0/46 assertions on build_report,
which this change does not touch)
- report.json + ratification_queue.json: deterministic (run1==run2) and
reproduced byte-identically by both `python -m ...runner` and `...propose_runner`
- pnpm build green; 144 UI tests across calibration/leeway/evidence/replay/
doctrine-gates/routes-docs-drift all pass
Two corrections from this session's source verification:
- B3.5 D2 (calibration artifact): coherence between report.json and
ratification_queue.json is necessary but NOT sufficient. The 95/50/5 earned
state is a fossil from the disabled resolve_pooled scorer (queue committed in
b82897a0); no current runner reproduces it (main()=6/44/0, candidate-graph
practice=0/1/149). Acceptance now requires report.json be byte-reproducible
by a documented deterministic runner pass; copying numbers between artifacts
is inadmissible. Three routes named (honest-floor now, earn-it-for-real
follow-up, defer).
- C1 (cognitive pipeline visualizer): corrected the false "reader-first over
existing telemetry" framing. Verified the journal persists only ~12 surface
fields of CognitiveTurnResult's ~25; no /trace/{id}/pipeline endpoint. C1-a's
real first deliverable is a persistence change: a curated
CognitivePipelineRecord (never the raw field_state multivectors — O(n^2)
cost), a runtime-contract update, and a non-vacuous fail-closed test.
The docs/proposal-artifact-substrate-v1 work (#727) — wave-m-consolidation-b3.5,
core-logos-studio-plan, proposal-artifact-substrate-v1 — is the authoritative
consolidation and supersedes the parallel 'Phase A' I'd just drafted. Reconciling
to one source of truth:
- FOLD IN the one genuine gap b3.5 missed (a design review caught it): the
Calibration centerpiece undersells — the reader reads the sub-N_MIN committed
practice report.json, so on live data no class shows licensed, while the
earned state (additive 95/5/100, PROPOSE-licensed) sits in the disagreeing
ratification_queue.json. Added as a diagnosis addendum + a Deliverable-2
acceptance criterion (make the committed practice artifacts coherent; show
≥1 earned class). Data-side fix, not a re-derivation.
- FOLD IN the grouped-navigation idea: a field on the route registry
(Deliverable 1) + the organism's-loop grouping (Converse/Cognition/Evidence/
Determinism/Discipline/Substrate/Settings), with the correction that
'core-logos' is the language/manifold Studio surface, not the cognition cluster.
- REDIRECT wave-M-worthiness.md's consolidation section to point at b3.5 instead
of defining a parallel Phase A.
- SCRAP duplicates: wave-M-phaseA-briefs (duplicated b3.5) and
workbench-ui-ux-guide-brief (superseded by b3.5 Deliverable 4).
Boils the design review and the information-architecture decision into one
integration. Phase B's heart (calibration/serving discipline) is done;
Phase A (Structure & Polish) now runs BEFORE resuming Phase C because two of
its items are structural prerequisites the Cognition cluster lands into.
Key synthesis: the command-palette drift bug and the grouped-nav idea are
the SAME fix — navigation derives from one registry that also encodes
structure. Standing IA constraint: one workbench, one address space, one
Chain Rail; grouping is a wayfinding skin, never an architectural fork; no
separate workbenches (the single evidence model is the thesis); 'levels' are
depth-within-a-surface, not top-level categories.
Phase A brief pack (wave-M-phaseA-briefs):
- A1: navigation registry (one source of truth) + grouped nav by the
organism's loop (Converse/Cognition=core-logos/Evidence/Determinism/
Discipline/Substrate/Settings) + palette fix (Demos+Calibration are
currently unreachable via ⌘K; the ⌘1-0 map is stale)
- A2: Calibration earned-state — the centerpiece undersells (reads the
sub-N_MIN report.json; the earned license lives in the disagreeing
ratification_queue). Primary fix: regenerate coherent practice artifacts;
fallback: reader surfaces both with provenance
- A3: Doctrine station ('how this UI can't lie') — elevate contracts/checks
into a first-class surface; trails, larger
Parked: B4 (needs engine-side license stamping; no re-derivation),
Calibration EvidenceSubject kind.
A teach-everything, indexed docs/workbench/UI-UX-GUIDE.md: thesis + evidence
model, the 11 routes (purpose/evidence/usage/states each), the design system
+ primitives, the full keyboard map, the doctrine gates as honesty proof,
replay-in-depth, glossary. Scoped for a mid-tier model: documentation over
shipped code, accuracy-over-completeness, Markdown-only, ground every claim
in the real components. Dispatch-ready.
Wave M takes the workbench to mastery and closes its biggest design gap:
it surfaces the teaching/ratification loop but is blind to the
calibrated-learning / serving-discipline loop (gold-tether arena, reliability
gate, Wilson floor vs θ ceiling, 'the engine earns the right to guess') and
to cognition itself (pipeline stages, field substrate, identity continuity).
Lens: Anthropic + xAI as target users who'd WANT to use it.
- wave-M-worthiness.md: full plan, Phases A–E, the missing-surfaces table,
the backend-reader-first / never-re-implement-engine-math disciplines,
execution order (B→C→D, A parallel).
- wave-M-phaseB-calibration-briefs: executable Phase B pack grounded in the
real core/reliability_gate shapes (ClassTally / conservative_floor /
license_for / Action θ) and the committed report.json evidence — B1
readers (GATING, Python), B2 Calibration route, B3 wrong=0 global frame,
B4 leeway wiring. Dependency DAG + STOP gates + no-theater rules.
First R3 (Theater) piece. Reworks the stale artifact-keyed ReplayRoute into
the turn-keyed hero over the #716 sealed-replay backend, and fully retires
the dead W-026 artifact-keyed machinery on both sides (the NOT_YET_MIRRORED
comment anticipated this).
The hero makes determinism *felt*: pick a journaled turn, CORE re-executes
its prompt in a sealed fresh runtime, and the result renders as a hash
verdict (≡ equivalent / ≠ diverged) + the original/replay DigestBadges + a
leaf diff (critical weighted above informational, each with a ≠ glyph). The
'What this proves' card surfaces comparison_basis + origin_state and states
the honest limit: a divergence means nondeterminism OR origin-state
influence, never rendered on its own as a determinism failure.
Retirement (verified zero serving uses):
- Python schemas.py: removed ReplayComparison/ReplayDivergence/ReplayStatus/
ReplayDivergenceSeverity; scripts/dump-enums.py drops the two replay enums;
both snapshots regenerated (deterministic: dump == committed)
- TS: removed ReplayComparison/ReplayDivergence/ReplayDivergenceSeverity;
added TurnReplayComparison/TurnReplayDivergence (+ basis/origin/severity
unions); NOT_YET_MIRRORED now empty (every engine schema mirrored)
- badges: removed ReplayStatusBadge + ReplayDivergenceSeverityBadge +
meta/enums + their enumCoverage cases (hero renders severity inline)
- api: fetchReplayComparison/useReplayComparison -> fetchTurnReplay/
useTurnReplay (/replay/<turnId>)
- deleted ArtifactList, ReplayComparisonPanel, ReplayDiffViewer,
ReplayMetadataTable, old replay.test.tsx
- App route /replay/:artifactId? -> /replay/:turnId?; conformance row
turn-keyed (loading 'Loading turns...', empty 'No turns recorded yet.')
Tests: ReplayRoute.test.tsx (equivalence hero + honesty card, diverged
critical leaf, informational-only label, replace-mode select, j/k spine).
Full vitest 358 green; workbench Python 34 green; both snapshots deterministic.
Follow-up flagged (not in this PR to keep it focused): the artifact query
hooks (useArtifacts/useArtifactDetail/fetchArtifacts*) are now orphaned but
entangled with the still-live artifact EvidenceSubject kind — a separate
cleanup once an Artifacts route or that subject's fate is decided.
Brief: docs/handoff/wave-R3-briefs-2026-06-13.md (all four R3 pieces).
Replaces the W-026 501 stub. Re-executes a journaled prompt in a sealed
fresh runtime (ChatRuntime(no_load_state=True): no checkpoint load, no
checkpoint write, no proposal lineage) and compares the envelope
leaf-by-leaf against the recorded TurnJournalEntry.
Design correction vs the scoping doc (amended in-doc): journaled turns
each ran in a fresh ChatRuntime(), never one continuous session, so
genesis-PREFIX replay would manufacture spurious divergence; shipped
basis is sealed_fresh_runtime_single_turn (O(1)). origin_state:
"unrecorded" — the journal does not record whether the original turn's
runtime loaded a checkpoint, so divergence is reported as nondeterminism
OR origin-state influence, never disambiguated.
- workbench/replay.py: pure comparison + injected executor; every
TurnJournalEntry field classified critical/informational exactly once
(exhaustiveness enforced by test)
- api.py: route wiring under _CHAT_TURN_LOCK; runtime failure -> 500
runtime_unavailable, no comparison may be fabricated
- schemas: additive TurnReplayComparison/TurnReplayDivergence (W-026
artifact-keyed pair retires with the frontend Replay Moment PR)
- tests: 10 obligations incl. tamper-prompt, tamper-leaf precision,
no-execution-no-comparison, no-trace (journal + engine_state bytes),
wall-clock tolerance, sealed-construction proof
- snapshot regenerated; NOT_YET_MIRRORED debt entries for the two new
classes (mirrors land with the frontend PR)
- api-contract-v1.md § Replay rewritten for the turn-keyed shape
Decides sealed genesis-prefix replay semantics against the actual
constraints (single rolling post-turn checkpoint; journal appended only
by the workbench handler, so history completeness is unprovable today).
Response carries comparison_basis + history_complete so the UI never
oversells; typed refusals; five MEANINGFULLY-FAILS proof obligations.
Reconciles a stale local edit with the upstream roadmap: the deductive
entailment authority demo (PR #700) moves under Demonstrated with its
evidence caveat, and the merged-boundary count is corrected to five
(#687, #688, #690, #696, #700). Next proposed target: Embodied Authority
Simulation Demo.
Brief 4 of the Wave 1 evidence spine — wire the evidence-context architecture
so every route can project into one shared evidence manifold.
Command registry (1A):
- commandRegistry.ts: useSyncExternalStore-backed command store with a cached
snapshot (referentially stable to avoid render loops); useCommands /
useCommandRegistry; recent-items in localStorage (last 10).
- CommandPalette.tsx: reads from the registry; all ten routes are navigation
commands (was Chat/Proposals/Evals hardcoded); fuzzy filter, recent section,
shortcut badges; Router/Fallback split preserved.
- useGlobalKeyboard.ts: Cmd+K palette, Cmd+I inspector, Cmd+1-0 routes, ? help.
Evidence drawer (1B):
- evidenceContext.tsx: EvidenceSubject union (turn|proposal|artifact|
eval_result|none) + useEvidenceSubject hook + EvidenceProvider above the
router Outlet so inspector state persists across route transitions.
- RightInspector.tsx: five evidence projections (was a null stub); reuses the
Brief 2 primitives (MetadataTable, DigestBadge, Timestamp, badges).
- Shell.tsx: visibility driven by inspectorOpen (collapsed by default); no more
hardcoded collapsed=true.
- KeyboardHelp.tsx: shortcut reference dialog.
- TopBar.tsx: palette open state lifted to Shell via props.
Tests: evidenceContext + RightInspector specs added; CommandPalette keyboard
contract updated for the ten-command navigation set (clamp at both ends).
Deferred (noted in spine doc): per-route register()/setSubject call sites,
action-commands (run eval / copy hash), resizable inspector width.
Verified: tsc -b + vite build green; affected specs pass per-file.
Replace blanket no-mutation language with the admitted-corridor rule: ADR-governed path, visible preconditions, auditable telemetry, and replay evidence before action.
Math ratification is documented as the first admitted proposal corridor. Corpus, pack, workflow, arbitrary file, and unadmitted proposal mutation remain forbidden.
