Add a handoff brief with five screenshots captured by driving the real
vite-preview build with Playwright (mocked API), confirming the
full-content reveal works across the originally reported proposal queue
table, the trace propagation edges, and the trace selection rails — with
the row staying unselected on reveal (stopPropagation holds).
Verification only; no code change. Records the harness gotcha that a
role-by-name query resolves to the row, not the icon trigger.

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.
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workbench-ui-ux-guide-brief (superseded by b3.5 Deliverable 4).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).
Execution-ready brief for the next comprehension increment (user-chosen,
doctrine-aligned): read arithmetic word-problem prose into the binding_graph
quantity substrate -> project to the independent relational_metric oracle ->
wrong=0. Reuses the existing 15-case relational_metric gold lane (no gold
authoring).
Captures the full scope from this session: the oracle grammar (fact/more_than/
fewer_than/sum_of), the new number-parsing reader capability, binding_graph
construction (SymbolBinding/BoundFact/BoundEquation with REAL admissibility — a
proof obligation, not a stamp), the direct-construction recommendation (keep the
comprehension organ disjoint from the GSM8K MathProblemGraph / serving path), the
projector, wiring, the generative round-trip anti-overfit test, and the
validation gates.
Briefed rather than rushed: this is binding_graph's first comprehension consumer,
a load-bearing integration whose correctness hinges on real equation
admissibility — it deserves fresh context, per "no shortcuts on architectural
gaps".
Wires the R4 goal-residual production to serving via
resolve_promotable_goal_residual (math_candidate_graph.py, mirroring
product_bridge). cv-0005 / train_sample 0037 now solves on serving as
goal - Σprogress = 10 - 3 - 4 = 3. First Phase-5b composition lift on serving.
wrong=0 preserved on every runnable surface:
- train_sample 6/44/0 -> 7/43/0 (0037 added; 6 prior correct intact; wrong=0).
- Fires on 2/455 visible GSM8K cases, both correct, ZERO wrong.
- Gain-goal divergence firewall proves it reads the GOAL, not a possession.
- smoke 73, math+invariants 53, derivation/pool/practice 341, corpus, all green.
Lockstep updates (the ratified metric move, 6/44/0 -> 7/43/0):
- report.json; 7 ADR test lanes that pinned 6/44/0; corpus cv-0005 baseline
fields + snapshot (4/18 -> 5/17) + contract; plan-doc cv-0018 control fix.
⚠ SEALED MEASUREMENT REQUIRED — NOT DONE. The sealed 1,319 (encrypted, not
CI-reproducible) is the real bar (ADR-0207 §6) and was NOT re-measured. The
operator/CI must decrypt+run it and confirm sealed wrong==0; if wrong>0, revert
the resolve_promotable_goal_residual block (isolated). See
docs/handoff/sealed-measurement-obligation-2026-06-04.md.
Three reviewed, non-serving analysis/handoff docs for the COMPOSITION lever.
Read-only; no serving code; train_sample 6/44/0 untouched.
- analysis/wiring-promotion-gate-brief: product_bridge is the only serving
derivation tendril (two-token target whitelist); resolve_pooled refuses all
ten R1/R4/R5/R6 positives and wrong-commits 0016 -> 510. Wiring is trivial;
the gate is the work.
- analysis/composition-wall-execution-plan: per-case stage taxonomy (A/B/C/D)
for all 15 corpus positives, reproduced live; R4-first scope (new
goal-residual production, verified by code-read of accumulate.py, NOT a
target tweak); promotion gate generalizes product_bridge, never disagreement
alone; gates inherit ADR-0207 §6 (corpus + sealed 1,319).
- handoff/stage-c-composition-investigation: dispatch task for the execution
lane to pin the per-case bail for the production-wrong shapes (the real
grouping/op-order wall), read-only, in-tree.
Execution-free brief for the read-only GitHub-connector lane: comprehension-
primitive inventory, question-layer gap survey, subject-readiness recommendation,
then gated capability-axis/ADR/corpus drafts. Proposal-only; serving stays frozen
(wrong=0, pinned lanes). Companion to the Claude execute/validate/commit lane.
Flip ADR-0173 Proposed -> Accepted. This is the W0 gate for the
workbench-UI ratification wave: it amends ADR-0160's read-only stance
narrowly to admit operator-driven invocation of the three existing,
replay-gated Tier 1.5 handlers (apply_lexical_claim, apply_frame_claim,
apply_composition_claim) as a local keyboard accelerator over ADR-0161
Surface C. No UI code; implementation remains gated to the W1..W4
acceptance gates in the ADR.
Also lands the reconciled W3 ratification-corridor brief. It supersedes
the stale W3 section of WORKBENCH-UI-WAVE-BRIEF-PACK.md, which assumed a
'frontend zero' state (W1/W2 already merged via #295/#299/#329/#327/
#328/#303) and prescribed a Zustand store this repo never adopted. The
reconciled brief names the load-bearing facts the old one glossed:
- /ratify is advisory-only today (routes, never applies); W3's core
backend task is the advisory->in-process flip.
- live proposals carry shape_category='uncategorized', so the safe
category/polarity must be operator-supplied and allowlist-gated, not
hard-coded -- the exact silent-wrong-category path case 0050 guards.
Verification this session: read-only workbench v1 confirmed working
(API serves real deterministic data, honest 404s, traversal rejected,
ratify advisory/no-mutation; 31 python + 104 UI tests green; pnpm build
green).
No runtime/algebra/eval paths touched. Docs only.
* docs(handoff): parallel-work plan post-GB-3a (CP-1 / scale / EX-3 tracks)
Three disjoint-file tracks dispatchable in parallel with Claude's serial Gap-B
line; records the hard constraint that GB-3b/4/5 are serial on compose.py.
* docs(adr-0180): propose CRDT-sharded vault concurrency substrate
Drafts ADR-0180 (Proposed) for a Delta-CRDT sharded substrate to support
forthcoming multimodal ingestion (vision, kinematics) without serializing
on a global Vault lock.
§1.5 grounds the proof obligation against the existing single-threaded
Python ingest path (sensorium → ingest/gate → field → vault/store →
compute_trace_hash) and enumerates four pre-refactor test obligations
(T-1..T-4) that must be green on main before any change to
core-rs/src/vault.rs lands, per CLAUDE.md work-sequencing item 5.
§1.5.5 explicitly fences out: approximate recall (exact CGA recall is
non-negotiable), hidden background execution (Merge Kernel must be
explicitly mounted with telemetry), and MLX/UMA hardware optimization
(deferred to a follow-up ADR; CPU-only Rust path lands first).
Proposed only — no code changes to core-rs, sensorium, or field.
#449 shipped an inert, duplicated, unvalidated pack off-brief; closed it but kept
the on-thesis idea (ground the nouns GSM8K problems use) with the real scope it
would need to be beneficial.
Reconciles ChatGPT's four independently-branched extraction PRs (#451/#452/
#453/#454) into one coherent generate/derivation/extract.py. They each rewrote
the same file + same new test off main, so they conflicted pairwise and needed
integration, not a merge.
Integrated (span-tracked, most-specific-pass-first so numbers are never double
counted):
- EX-1 word-numbers (#452): reuses WORD_NUMBERS; tens-one hyphen compounds;
factor-bearing half/third/quarter excluded.
- EX-4 list-unit inheritance (#451): bare numeric list with one trailing unit.
- EX-5 sentence-final numbers (#454): bare final number with empty unit.
Deferred: EX-3 multi-word units (#453). Its greedy lowercase span reads
"6 apples and 4 apples" as unit "apples and", regressing GB-2's
test_same_unit_list_sums, and still can't recover real multi-word units from
0024-class text ("jumping jacks on"). Needs a tighter rule; see
docs/handoff/AUDIT-ADR-0179-EX-RECONCILE.md.
Verification (sealed lane only; chat/ does not import this module):
- Serving frozen: lane-SHA 8/8 match, generate_claims --check OK -> 3/47/0
byte-identical, wrong=0 held.
- Sealed practice improved 4/2/44 -> 4/1/45: case 0025 flips wrong->refused.
EX-1 reads "three", so completeness sees a quantity the 6x50 chain omits and
refuses the spurious 300 (gold 1200) instead of committing it.
- No new test failures (3 pre-existing on main).
Also fixes stale test drift from EX-2 (#447): TestDecimalGroundingGapIsDeferred
asserted decimals still refuse, but #447 made $0.75-class resolve to 864.
Renamed to TestDecimalGroundingResolves and updated to assert the flip.
Honest scope note: EX-4 does NOT unblock real case 0024 (its PR test used a
fabricated bare-list paraphrase). TestRealCase0024StillBlocked pins the true
boundary.
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=<pronoun> + 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). Rebases onto main after #416 + #420 land.
Phase 3b (compound-clause held hypotheses) is prerequisite for Phase
4 (in-loop contemplate) to have anything to operate on. Combined
scope rather than separate briefs because:
- Phase 3b alone: 0 lift on train_sample (multi-actor defense
refuses, solver gaps prevent admission)
- Phase 3b + Phase 4: 2-4 case lift via gendered-pronoun resolution
- Phase 3b + 4 + solver multi-qty (separate ADR): 6-8 case lift
First concrete Phase 4 use case: gendered pronoun resolution via a
new en_core_names_v1 pack. Turns the multi-actor defense from
refuse-on-ambiguity into admit-via-evidence when an unambiguous
gendered name exists for one antecedent.
Architecture overview, Phase 3b extractor design, Phase 4
contemplate adapters (vault > packs > audit_history), wrong=0
hazard surfaces, sequencing (3b then 4 stacked), truth tests, and
deliberately-excluded scope (solver work, verb expansion, per-token
apply_word integration — all separate ADRs).
HYPOTHESIS_CAP raise from 4 to 8 needed for Phase 3b (case 0040
has 5 anchors). Documented in scope.

§Lookback Review Discipline, memories for multi-actor pronoun
hazard and case-0050.
Adds second mandatory hazard test to VE-A/B acceptance criteria:
multi-actor pronoun ambiguity must trigger no_antecedent_ambiguous
refusal per ADR-0174 Phase 3a defense.
Verb expansion widens the cases that reach Phase 3a lookback wiring;
without this test the multi-actor wrong=0 hazard could fire silently
in production. Surfaced by 2026-05-28 Phase 1-3a lookback review.

CLAUDE.md §Lookback Review Discipline.
Operationalises the recommendation from PHASE-3.1-FOLLOWUP-RECOGNIZER-EXPANSION.md
into three independent dispatchable PRs:
- VE-A: acquisition widening (gain, earn, save, accumulate, acquire) — Opus
- VE-B: new depletion class (donate, give, lose, spend, eat) — Opus
- VE-C: refusal evidence for non-arithmetic verbs (instrumentation only) — Sonnet
Each PR includes:
- Hazard pinning: explicit case 0050 test must pass after widening
- Lift evidence: at least one train_sample case moves refused → correct
- Phase 3a substrate fires: the lifted case shows a 'lookback' trace event
- wrong=0 preserved across train_sample AND case 0050
Operator decisions needed before dispatch: which specific lemmas to
admit per class, whether to introduce the depletion class at all, and
whether to ship VE-C as evidence groundwork.
Verb classification rationale per lemma documented in the brief.
Hazard surfaces called out per lemma (delta-of-attribute for 'gained',
direction inversion for 'lost', monetary-vs-time ambiguity for 'saved').
No timelines; operator dispatches when ready.
C1: delete generate/math_versor_arithmetic.py and its 3 tests (ADR-0139
add-only arithmetic spike; no runtime consumers, no pipeline wiring,
follow-on lift paused per module docstring).
C3: gitignore engine_state runtime artifacts (manifest.json,
recognizers.jsonl, discovery_candidates.jsonl). Module code
(engine_state/__init__.py) remains tracked; generated checkpoint
files should not be.
C5: document reader zero-delta root cause in train_sample/v1/README.md.
Both Phase 2 (whole-problem) and Phase 1 (question-only) reader paths are
called but inert because all 47 refusals are statement-level NO_INJECTOR
gaps, not question-sentence gaps. Reader unblocks when injector coverage
expands (C2 work). report.json use_reader flag corrected to reflect last run.
C6: add deprecation header to generate/math_parser.py pointing at
generate.math_candidate_graph.parse_and_solve as the live path.
C2/C4 briefs: docs/handoff/CLEANUP-C2-run-lane-migration.md and
docs/handoff/CLEANUP-C4-compositions-compile.md added as operator
dispatch docs for the medium-scope wiring tasks.
Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the ADR-0164 reader are correctly implemented but
contribute zero eval admissions today. The bottleneck is lexicon coverage
(unknown verbs/nouns) and explicit Phase 2.1 scope gates (fractions), not
the all-or-nothing dispatch policy.
Produces COMPREHENSION-READER-AUDIT.md answering the five Brief C questions:
call trace, cognition-lane usage (none), bottleneck analysis, ADR promise
audit, and three falsifiable options (operationalize/relabel/retire).
Recommendation: relabel (status update) now; lexicon expansion next as the
highest-leverage first step toward actual eval lift.
Also updates ADR-0164 status from "Proposed" to "Partially implemented" with
a Current Status table and next-lift-path summary.
After RAT-1's architecture audit exposed five systematically
underbuilt components, A (the 4 missing injectors) is being taken by
this agent. The other four are parallel-safe and each gets its own
dispatch brief:
B (Opus) — contemplation produces ratifiable claims (medium)
C (Sonnet) — comprehension reader audit + decision (small→medium)
D (Sonnet) — core teaching coverage CLI (small)
E (Codex) — lexical ratification auto-compile (tiny)
Each brief carries: operator profile, branch name, base, dispatch
line, reads required FIRST, outcome inventory, hard requirements,
tests, truth test. Anti-regression invariants enumerated. All
parallel-safe — no shared file conflicts.
The dispatch DAG names ALL FIVE pieces with A in-flight as a peer.
Final PR of the matcher-extension wave. Ships:
1. tests/test_me5_all_categories_integration.py — 4 new tests:
- test_all_three_canaries_admit_through_full_pipeline: stages a
pack with all three SAFE_COMPOSITION_CATEGORIES entries +
ratifies, runs Maria/Sam/Tom canaries through matcher →
inject_from_match, asserts admission for all three
- test_partial_pack_only_admits_present_categories: refusal-
preferring when only one category is ratified
- test_all_safe_categories_have_extension_admission: pins that
SAFE_COMPOSITION_CATEGORIES is exactly the three covered
categories (breaks if future ADR widens without matcher)
- test_falsifies_uniformly_suppresses_across_categories:
polarity discipline holds across all three matchers
2. docs/handoff/ME1-ME5-MILESTONE.md — wave milestone doc:
- architecture diagram (audit → ratify → compile → load →
match → consult → admit)
- SAFE_COMPOSITION_CATEGORIES coverage matrix
- invariants preserved across the entire stack
- scope boundary (what does NOT fire yet — RAT-1 follow-up)
- recommended next dispatch
3. Test registration in core/cli.py packs suite.
Across the full ME-1..ME-5 stack:
- 5 stacked PRs (#400/#401/#402/#403/#404)
- 1 foundation PR (#398 — consumption wiring)
- 114 new tests, all green
- packs suite 127 passed
- core eval gsm8k_math --split public → 150/150, wrong=0
- All three SAFE_COMPOSITION_CATEGORIES have matcher extensions
Anti-regression invariants preserved across the entire stack:
- wrong == 0 on public split
- Case 0050 hazard pin (parametrized over all three categories)
- ADR-0166 — no new eval lanes
- ADR-0167 partition — no cognition imports
- ADR-0169 mutation boundary — registry is a gate, not arithmetic
- All matcher detection paths byte-identical
- engine_state/* never committed
- SAFE_COMPOSITION_CATEGORIES enforced at write AND load
- polarity falsifies honored uniformly
Live train_sample admission requires operator-seeded ratifications
(RAT-1 follow-up). Wiring is end-to-end correct, verified by ME-5
integration tests.
Memory: milestone-me1-me5-matcher-extensions-complete saved.
Stacks on PR #403 (base: feat/matcher-extension-subtractive).
Follow-up to PR #398 — lights up the dormant consumption path by
extending _match_rate_with_currency to publish composition_shape +
pre-composed CandidateInitial in parsed_anchors.
Scope: one matcher extension (_match_rate_with_currency) for the
currency-per-unit composition shape ("$X each"). Other composition
shapes (multi-quantity, additive, subtractive) deferred to ME-3/4/5
follow-ups.
Subject binding decision pinned: Option A (refuse when same-sentence
subject is absent). Forbids Option B (placeholder subject —
fabricates attribution). Defers Option C (cross-sentence subject)
to its own ME-2 brief.
Honest consequence: case 0019 stays refused in THIS PR (requires
Option C). Truth-test #1 replaced with a synthetic "Maria bought 3
vet appointments at $400 each" canary that has same-sentence
subject. The flywheel turns one revolution: ratify → compile →
load → consume → admit, end-to-end on the synthetic canary.
Operator profile: Opus (load-bearing wrong=0; pre-composed
CandidateInitial; case 0050 mandatory pin).
Test surface enumerated (4 test files, 12+ tests):
- test_matcher_extension_currency_per_unit (8 narrowness tests)
- test_matcher_extension_case_0050_hazard_pin (mandatory)
- test_matcher_extension_end_to_end_admission (truth test)
- test_matcher_extension_train_sample_baseline_preserved
- test_matcher_extension_public_split_preserved
6-row truth test pinned. Anti-regression invariants enumerated.
Forbidden surface includes Option B + new SAFE category entries +
solver mutation.
Recommended next dispatch sequence: ME-1 → ME-2 (case 0019) →
ME-3/4/5 (remaining composition shapes).
Production-line dispatch form of the consumption-wiring brief in
PR #396. One bundled PR recommended (CW-1 + CW-2 share pack-compile
+ manifest extension + case 0050 pin). Split only if CI cycle time
forces.
CW-1 — Frame consumption:
language_packs/compile_frames.py + generate/comprehension/frame_registry.py
+ reader wire + manifest frame_checksum extension.
CW-2 — Composition consumption:
language_packs/compile_compositions.py +
generate/comprehension/composition_registry.py + injector wire in
generate/recognizer_anchor_inject.py + manifest
composition_checksum extension. SAFE_COMPOSITION_CATEGORIES
enforced at load (defense in depth); polarity "falsifies"
suppresses injection (not silently "affirms").
Truth test pinned as binding (6-row table). PR is not done unless
case 0019 admits, case 0050 stays refused, train_sample moves from
3/47 → ≥4/46, wrong==0 holds, public split unchanged (150/150),
empty-registry runtime byte-identical to today.
Operator profile: Opus (load-bearing wrong=0 surface; case 0050
mandatory pin; same rigor as CC-2).
Names the structural gap discovered in the first end-to-end
CompositionClaim ratification (2026-05-27 post-#393):
ratification handler writes JSONL artifacts cleanly, but no runtime
code reads compositions/*.jsonl or frames/*.jsonl. Two of three
sub-types ship the ratification half of the loop without the
consumption half.
State:
lexicon/ writer ✓ reader ✓ (LexicalClaim — closed)
frames/ writer ✓ reader ✗ (FrameClaim — half-open)
compositions/ writer ✓ reader ✗ (CompositionClaim — half-open)
Proposes one bundled PR (CW-1 + CW-2) mirroring the proven
generate/comprehension/lexicon.py::load_lexicon pattern:
CW-1 — Frame consumption: pack-compile frames/*.jsonl into a
runtime-loadable artifact; new load_frame_registry()
loader; reader wire.
CW-2 — Composition consumption: pack-compile compositions/*.jsonl;
new load_composition_registry(); injector wire in
generate/recognizer_anchor_inject.py.
Hard requirements: SAFE_COMPOSITION_CATEGORIES allowlist enforced
at both write and load (defense in depth); polarity "falsifies"
honored; manifest checksum extended per CLAUDE.md "Semantic Pack
Discipline"; empty-registry runtime byte-identical to today.
Truth-test pinned: success is the EVAL DELTA, not the artifact
append. PR is "done" when case 0019 (the canary I ratified) admits
under train_sample, train_sample moves from 3 correct / 47 refused
to ≥4 correct / 46 refused, case 0050 stays refused, wrong==0 holds.
This brief is orthogonal to the workbench UI wave (W1..W4); both
can ship in parallel. Recommended operator: Opus (load-bearing
wrong=0 surface; same rigor as CC-2).
Names the wave shape before any implementation. Audits what doctrine
has already settled (ADR-0160 stack pins + read-only trust boundary;
ADR-0162 design system + 15-component must-ship list + no-go list),
catalogs the current state (backend complete, frontend zero), surfaces
the five operator pain points sourced from the 2026-05-27 demo and the
CompositionClaim brief pack, and proposes a five-wave sequence:
W0 (docs) — Trust-boundary ratchet ADR (ADR-0173 working title)
admitting operator ratification through the workbench,
scoped to existing Tier 1.5 handlers (Lexical / Frame /
Composition) and pinning the keyboard contract.
W1 (base) — workbench-ui/ scaffold per ADR-0162 Branch 1.
W2 (read) — ProposalQueue + ProposalCard + ProposalDetailPanel.
W3 (act) — RatificationCommandPanel + handler dispatch (the
throughput multiplier).
W4 (verify)— TraceDrawer + ReplayTheater + EvalCenter.
Guardrails enumerated: CLAUDE.md docs discipline, ADR-0162 no-go list,
determinism, trust boundary, wrong==0, case 0050 hazard pin,
keyboard-first, accessibility, local-first, no engine_state writes
outside the checkpoint path.
Open questions (in-process vs out-of-process ratification, single- vs
multi-operator, telemetry path, font/icon bundling, build artifact
location) listed for W0 resolution. No code in this brief.
* docs(tier1.5+tier2): FrameClaim handler + Tier 2 W5 schema brief pack
Two parallel briefs ready for dispatch:
- F1: FrameClaim ratification handler (Opus) — implements ADR-0168 +
ADR-0168.1; turns 2 of 8 Tier 1 proposals into real GSM8K
admissions on ratify
- T2-W5: MathReaderInferenceProposal schema (Sonnet) — Tier 2 substrate
with two-arm test-and-learn type contract
Zero file overlap between briefs; safe to dispatch concurrently. W6+
deferred until FrameClaim is live (Arm 2 known-good preservation needs
a working handler to verify against).
* docs(briefs): correct pack + workbench paths in Tier 1.5/Tier 2 brief
Operator dispatching F1 (PR #389) discovered:
- Pack path is language_packs/data/en_core_math_v1/, not packs/en_core_math_v1/
- Workbench dispatch table lives in workbench/readers.py, not workbench/api.py
Both operators landed on the correct locations regardless. Folding the
corrections into #387 directly so future operators reading the brief
get the real paths.
The brief pack referenced `teaching/audit_evidence.py` in 3 spots
(A2 schema field, A2 read-required list, B2 algorithm step 3a). The
actual module on main is `teaching/math_evidence.py` (carries
`MathReaderRefusalEvidence` per ADR-0167).
Sonnet (A2 / PR #380) discovered the discrepancy and correctly used
the real module. This patch corrects the brief so Wave B operators
(B1 / B2) do not hit the same gap on dispatch.
No runtime change. Pure docs.
Coordination artifact for ADR-0172 Tier 1 dispatch. Six PRs in the
ADR (W0, W0.1, W1, W2, W3, W4) collapsed into a 4-wave DAG with two
concurrent briefs per wave A and B.
Operators are dispatched in their own UIs by pointing at the
section heading — "read §Brief A1" etc. Bundling options A/B/C
inside the doc let the operator choose CI economy vs wall-clock.
No runtime change. Pure docs.
Three concrete cleanup items from the day's work, per the
cleanup-as-you-find memory principle.
## 1. Remove inject_rate_with_currency stub
PR #369 (A2 rate_with_currency) shipped a function that always returns
() with an extensive docstring documenting the Rate-not-in-SentenceChoice
schema gap. The function is dead at runtime — `_INJECTORS.get(category)`
returning None has the same downstream behavior as the function
returning (). The 16 tests pinned the empty-tuple return; the case-0050
hazard pin is duplicated in test_recognizer_skip_wrong_zero.py and
test_brief_11b_step2_lexicon.py.
The schema gap is now properly documented in ADR-0170 (PR #372). A
dispatch-table comment at the removal site retains the at-code pointer
to that ADR for anyone wiring a new injector.
Removed:
- `inject_rate_with_currency` function in generate/recognizer_anchor_inject.py
- Its `_INJECTORS` dispatch table entry
- Its `__all__` export
- tests/test_injector_rate_with_currency.py (371 lines, 16 tests)
## 2. Remove docs/handoff/GPT55-MOBILE-DISPATCH.md
Single-session travel-time scaffolding. The 5 tasks it named are
complete or superseded by ADR-0170's findings. Pure historical artifact.
## 3. Remove docs/handoff/WAVE-NEXT-INJECTORS.md
Superseded by docs/handoff/WAVE-NEXT-REVISED.md, which captures
everything load-bearing from the original brief in its A1–A4 findings
table. The "kept for history" justification didn't survive scrutiny:
the document was misframed (over-promised lift; misframed schema work
as injector work). Lessons captured in REVISED + ADR-0170.
Updated cross-references:
- WAVE-NEXT-REVISED.md: removed the "supersedes ... kept for history"
pointer; tightened cross-reference list
- ADR-0167-FOLLOWUPS.md §7: rewrote pointer to name ADR-0170 + REVISED
as the live plan rather than "the original is retained"
## Test plan
- 219 tests passed across G.2/G.4/G.5/S1/Brief 11/B1/B11A/wiring/partition/DCS-D.2
- evals/gsm8k_math/train_sample/v1/report.json untouched (regen
surfaces a separate stale-baseline test issue — out of cleanup scope)
- No runtime behavior change
## Net impact
- 5 files removed (~1200 lines)
- 1 file modified for explanatory comment (~30 lines)
- 2 doc files updated to remove dangling cross-references
- 0 behavioral change
DCS-S1 (proper-noun possession sub-shape expansion) investigation
revealed that the recognizer-injector path's `CandidateInitial`-only
return type is a substrate-level constraint blocking four Wave-Next
sub-shape categories — not just one.
## Two artifacts
1. **`docs/handoff/DCS-S1-FINDING.md`** — investigation result. Of
the 21 DCS-refused GSM8K cases, zero are pure S1-only blockers.
Acquisition-verb expansion (`collected`, etc.) conflicts with
ADR-0131.G.1's branch-disagreement discipline. The right fix is
the DCS injector emitting `CandidateOperation(add)`, but the
`inject_from_match` return type doesn't allow that.
2. **`docs/decisions/ADR-0170-injector-contract-widening.md`** —
scoping ADR. Names the contract change, the four categories it
unblocks (DCS-S1 acquisition, A1 currency, A3 multiplicative,
A4 temporal), the three load-bearing rules it must preserve
(ADR-0131.G.1, SentenceChoice union, admissibility gates), and
a 5-step implementation outline.
## Pattern recognised
Wave-Next surfaced four schema gaps. All four trace to the same
constraint: per-category injectors can only emit `CandidateInitial`.
The right next-capability work is ADR-0170 ratification, then a
small no-behavior-change PR widening the contract, then per-injector
follow-up PRs against the widened contract.
That is the actual lift-per-risk path for GSM8K Round-1 closure.
## Test plan
Docs-only. No code, no test, no eval, no pack change.
## Cross-references
- ADR-0163.D.2 — original parsed_anchors → solver-state ADR
- ADR-0131.G.1 — branch-disagreement discipline ADR-0170 preserves
- ADR-0167 — parallel teaching-corridor mechanism (independent)
- ADR-0167-FOLLOWUPS §7 — Wave-Next findings backlog
- WAVE-NEXT-REVISED — parent plan; ADR-0170 is the upstream blocker
- PR #369 — A2's schema-refusal artifact (first observation of gap)
The Wave-Next injector dispatch (A1-A4) surfaced findings that
invalidate three of the four briefs' lift assumptions:
- A1 currency_amount — sandbox-blocked; real lift potential intact
- A2 rate_with_currency — schema gap (Rate not in SentenceChoice
union); PR #369 documents the gap with concrete 4-step plan
- A3 multiplicative_aggregation — Operation(multiply) spec wrong;
correct emission is CandidateInitial(outer×inner); zero GSM8K cases
match canonical narrow form anyway
- A4 temporal_aggregation — needs apply_rate primitive not in algebra
Three of four are schema-extension ADRs masquerading as injector work.
Only A1 is a true injector + sandbox-fix scenario.
Deliverables:
1. `docs/handoff/WAVE-NEXT-REVISED.md` (new) — supersedes
WAVE-NEXT-INJECTORS.md. Pivots to DCS sub-shape expansion as the
actually-tractable next wave (21-case bucket, existing v1 injector,
#366 spec on main). Captures the three schema gaps + A1's
preserved lift potential for separate ADR work.
2. `docs/handoff/ADR-0167-FOLLOWUPS.md` §7 (new) — points to the
revised plan and summarises the four findings inline.
WAVE-NEXT-INJECTORS.md retained for history.
No code change. No runtime effect. Docs-only.
