L1.3 of the anchor-lens inside-out rollout — first substantive
surface lift on the substantive axis. Two ratified non-trivial
lenses engage on cognition-pack lemmas via the alignment graph,
appending [lens(<id>):<mode>] annotations to the existing
pack-grounded surface.
Two ratified lenses
grc_logos_v1 (Greek substrate)
primary_substrate : "grc"
semantic_domain_preferences: ["logos.episteme.systematic_knowledge"]
cognitive_mode_label : "systematic"
Engages on en "knowledge" via grc-core-cog-021 (ἐπιστήμη) →
en-core-cog-007 alignment edge.
he_logos_v1 (Hebrew substrate)
primary_substrate : "he"
semantic_domain_preferences: ["logos.aletheia.verity"]
cognitive_mode_label : "covenant-verity"
Engages on en "truth" via he-core-cog-002 (אמת) →
en-core-cog-002 alignment edge.
Both ratified under method anchor_lens_lifts_proposition.
Engagement rule (single)
1. Resolve en_lemma → entry_id (cognition pack).
2. For each substrate pack matching lens.primary_substrate, load
alignment.jsonl; find edges where target_id == entry_id.
3. For each such substrate lemma, if any atom in its
semantic_domains ∈ lens.semantic_domain_preferences → engage.
4. No match → None (no annotation; byte-identical surface).
The pivot is shared semantic_domain atoms surfaced via the
alignment graph — exactly the language-neutral commitment from
ADR-0073. Engagement never touches non-English surface text;
entry_ids and atom strings only.
Surface lift
no-lens : "Knowledge is X. pack-grounded (en_core_cognition_v1)."
lens-on : "Knowledge is X. pack-grounded (en_core_cognition_v1) [lens(grc_logos_v1):systematic]."
Annotation between existing provenance and trailing period.
Both metadata fields are ASCII-bounded ≤64 chars at the loader
level, so the annotation can never carry non-ASCII.
Scope deliberately narrow
L1.3 wiring restricted to pack_grounded_surface /
build_pack_surface_candidate (DEFINITION/RECALL only). Other
composers (COMPARISON / CORRECTION / PROCEDURE / NARRATIVE /
EXAMPLE / CAUSE / VERIFICATION) accept the anchor_lens kwarg via
forward-compat default UNANCHORED but do not yet consume it.
L1.3b or later broadens to those intent shapes.
Ratify gate widening
Non-null lenses must:
- have primary_substrate ∈ {grc, he, en}
- have a non-empty cognitive_mode_label
- every preferred atom must exist in at least one lemma of the
named substrate (trust boundary: operators cannot ship a lens
pointing at atoms not on disk).
Method: anchor_lens_lifts_proposition. Null lenses still ratify
under byte_identity_null_lift (L1.2 method).
Seam allow-list widening
Truth-path modules (cognition / trace / pipeline / intent /
propagation / vault / algebra) still refused. Composer-side
imports from chat/pack_grounding.py now permitted — the same way
ADR-0069's R2 widened the register seam.
New invariants pinned (3)
tests/test_anchor_lens_engagement_unit.py (14 tests) — resolver
returns mode label only on intended substrate × en lemma pair;
case-insensitive; engagement None under null lens; synthetic
lens with unmatched atom returns None; annotation is pure ASCII.
tests/test_anchor_lens_lifts_proposition.py (17 tests) — grc
engages on knowledge only, he engages on truth only,
cross-lens isolation, three-way distinctness, replay determinism
per (lens × prompt), register-tour seam holds within each lens
scope (orthogonality CI-pinned, parametrized over 4 lens
choices).
tests/test_anchor_lens_no_glyph_leak.py (5 tests) — hard
block-scoped gate: Greek (U+0370..03FF, U+1F00..1FFF), Hebrew
(U+0590..05FF), Syriac, Arabic. Stylistic punctuation
(em-dash etc.) explicitly allowed; em-dash predates L1.3 by a
wide margin and is not a substrate-leak risk. Tested per-lens
across every cognition case + direct lens-metadata ASCII check.
Lane evidence
74 anchor-lens tests pass (37 from L1.2 + 37 new).
python -m core.cli eval cognition → public 100/100/91.7/100
byte-identical (lens=None / default_unanchored_v1).
core demo register-tour --json → all_claims_supported: True
(R5 seam still holds; L1.3 doesn't perturb presentation axis).
Full lane: 2706 passed / 4 skipped / 1 pre-existing failure
(+37 over L1.2's 2669; the one failure remains
test_all_preamble_explains_combined_run, unrelated).

Adds compound-intent decomposition for prompts that ask multiple
things in one turn ("What is X, and why does it matter?",
"Explain X, but how does it work?", "What is X, and what is Y?").
Three landings in one PR (rule says additive; the three pieces
are inseparable for the runtime hook to do anything useful):
1. generate/intent.py
* New ``CompoundIntent`` frozen dataclass — ordered tuple of
``DialogueIntent`` parts + raw_text + ``.primary`` back-compat
accessor + ``.is_compound()`` helper.
* New ``classify_compound_intent(prompt)`` sibling to
``classify_intent``. Pure, deterministic, byte-stable. Splits
on closed connector list (``,\s+(and|but|because|while)\s+``);
anaphoric tails ("why does it matter") get the prior part's
subject substituted ("why does truth matter") then are
classified independently.
* ``classify_intent`` return shape is untouched — every existing
caller still receives ``DialogueIntent``.
* No new ``IntentTag`` introduced. v1 semantic approximation:
"why does X matter" routes to ``CAUSE(X)``; "matter" means
causal/relevance support, not metaphysical importance.
2. generate/discourse_planner.py
* New ``plan_compound_discourse(compound, mode, bundles)`` —
concatenates per-part sub-plans in source order with a
``TRANSITION`` bridge (fact=None) between consecutive parts.
No cross-part re-sorting.
* New private kw-only ``_exclude_facts`` parameter on
``plan_discourse`` so subsequent sub-plans can avoid emitting
the same facts the prior sub-plans already used (prevents
"Truth is X. Truth is X." duplicates on shared-subject
compounds). Public signature ``(intent, mode, bundle)`` is
unchanged.
3. chat/runtime.py
* Helper ``_maybe_apply_discourse_planner`` now consults the
compound classifier first. When the prompt is multi-part it
builds per-part bundles and calls ``plan_compound_discourse``;
otherwise it follows the previous single-intent path.
* Compound bypass: when upstream tagged the surface ``oov`` /
``none`` because the flat classifier saw a polluted subject
(e.g. ``"truth, and why does it matter"``), but the compound
decomposition reveals a pack-resident primary subject, the
planner engages on the decomposed parts. This narrowly widens
the gate exclusively for compound prompts with substrate.
* BRIEF mode upgrades to EXPLAIN for compound prompts —
single-anchor sub-plans on shared subjects would emit duplicate
anchor sentences in BRIEF.
* Return shape widened to ``tuple[str, str] | None`` —
``(rendered_surface, new_source_tag)``. ``new_source_tag`` is
``"teaching"`` when the plan uses any teaching fact, else
``"pack"`` — so downstream labels reflect actual provenance
even on the compound bypass. Both cold and warm call sites
updated to apply both fields.
24 new tests pin: compound decomposition correctness, source-order
preservation across sub-plans, anaphoric-followup rewriting,
deterministic byte-stable plans, no new IntentTag introduced,
fact-dedup across sub-plans, compound-bypass engagement, and
source-tag correction on planner-engaged surfaces.
Lane re-measurement after 3 compound cases added to cases.jsonl
(24 total cases):
flag off: articulate=0.0833, disclosure=0.1667, unarticulate=0.7500
flag on : articulate=0.9167, disclosure=0.0000, unarticulate=0.0833
Note: disclosure flag-on dropped to 0.0 because the source-tag
correction now correctly labels compound-bypass surfaces as
``pack/teaching`` instead of letting the upstream ``oov`` label
inflate disclosure. The two remaining unarticulate cases flag-on
are the walkthrough prompts targeted by the next landing.
Critical gates all green:
* flag off cognition byte-identical: public 100/100/91.7/100
* smoke suite 67/67
* 32/32 planner tests pass (helper + render + compound)
* 18/18 compound classifier tests pass
Pre-cleanup before extending intent classification. Extracts
``ChatRuntime._maybe_apply_discourse_planner(text, source_tag) ->
str | None`` and replaces the two duplicated blocks (cold-start
pack-grounded branch + warm post-walk branch) with single-line
``planned = ...; if planned is not None: assign`` call sites.
Signature locked: takes only the prompt and the already-classified
grounding source tag; returns the replacement surface or None.
Callers own assignment — the helper neither reads nor writes any
surface or articulation state. The warm site additionally does the
``articulation = replace(articulation, surface=planned)`` follow-up
which the cold site does not need.
Gating discipline unchanged (re-pinned in 9 new tests):
* Returns None when ``self.config.discourse_planner`` is False.
* Returns None unless source_tag ∈ {"pack", "teaching"}.
* Returns None when the classified intent has no subject.
* Returns None on single-move plans (BRIEF mode / empty bundle).
* Returns None on empty rendered string.
Behavior is byte-identical to the pre-dedup state — same metrics:
flag off: multi=0.1429, primed_multi=0.0000, conn=0.0769
flag on : multi=0.5238, primed_multi=0.5000, conn=0.2308
cognition eval byte-identical: public 100/100/91.7/100.
smoke suite 67/67.
The two paths now cannot drift; the upcoming intent classifier
extension lifts both branches in lockstep.
Option 2 of the lane-isolation work. Mirrors the existing warm-path
hook into the cold-start branch (``gate_decision.fire`` ⇒ stub
response): after ``_maybe_pack_grounded_surface`` succeeds and the
result is pack- or teaching-grounded, build the same DiscoursePlan
and replace ``pack_surface`` with the rendered plan whenever it has
more than one move.
This closes the gap option 1 exposed: cold-start one-shot prompts
("Tell me about truth.", "Describe wisdom.", "Give me an example of
truth.") now produce deterministic multi-clause output without any
priming setup — the planner becomes the spine for grounded surfaces,
not a warm-only sidecar.
Gating discipline preserved:
* Engages only when pack_source_tag in {"pack", "teaching"}. Cases
routed to vault, none, or the discovery-signal disclosure are
untouched.
* BRIEF mode collapses to a single ANCHOR move which renders
byte-equivalent to the existing pack-grounded composer, so
flag-off cognition byte-identity is preserved.
* Empty bundles → empty plan → no surface change (planner is total).
A/B on multi_sentence_response (21 cases, public/v1):
flag off: multi=0.1429, primed_multi=0.0000, conn=0.0769
flag on : multi=0.5238, primed_multi=0.5000, conn=0.2308
Cold-start lift: multi +38pp, conn +15pp. Primed metric unchanged
(those cases already engaged the warm hook in step 5).
Sample cold-start surfaces flag-on:
* "Tell me about truth."
→ "Truth is a claim or state grounded by evidence and coherent
judgment. Furthermore, truth belongs to cognition.truth. In
turn, truth grounds knowledge."
* "Describe wisdom."
→ "Wisdom is sound judgment informed by knowledge and experience.
Furthermore, wisdom belongs to cognition.wisdom. In turn,
wisdom orders judgment."
* "Give me an example of truth."
→ "Truth is a claim or state grounded by evidence and coherent
judgment. In turn, truth grounds knowledge." (EXAMPLE mode:
anchor + relation, no support)
Gates all green:
* flag off: cognition eval byte-identical
- public 100/100/91.7/100, holdout 100/100/83.3/100
* smoke suite 67/67
* conversational_thread_coherence: 3 unwanted placeholders flag off
and flag on (no regression)
* 136/136 planner + grounding + intent + lane tests pass
Step 5 of the discourse-planner sequencing. Closes the chain:
classify_intent + classify_response_mode
-> grounding_bundle_for(subject)
-> plan_discourse(intent, mode, bundle)
-> render_plan(plan)
-> response_surface
Adds RuntimeConfig.discourse_planner (default False). When True, the
runtime — after the warm pack/teaching-grounded surface is set —
classifies the response mode, assembles a GroundingBundle from the
ADR-style accessors, builds a DiscoursePlan, and replaces the warm
surface with the deterministic multi-clause rendering whenever the
plan has more than one move.
Gating discipline:
* Engages only on warm_grounding_source in {"pack", "teaching"} so
vault/none turns and the discovery-signal CAUSE/VERIFICATION
disclosure are preserved exactly.
* BRIEF mode always collapses to a single ANCHOR move, so flag-on
with BRIEF intent is byte-identical to flag-off.
* Empty bundles produce empty plans; the runtime falls through to
the existing warm surface untouched.
Adds render_plan(plan) to generate/discourse_planner.py — a pure,
deterministic multi-clause renderer with fixed canonical connectives:
ANCHOR : capitalized opening sentence
SUPPORT : "Furthermore, ..."
RELATION : "In turn, ..."
TRANSITION: "Consequently, ..."
CLOSURE : skipped when fact is None
Every visible token is a verbatim pack lexicon entry, gloss, or
reviewed teaching chain string — no synthesis.
13 new tests pin:
* render_plan empty/brief/paragraph shape
* canonical connectives present in paragraph rendering
* deterministic + verbatim-fact invariants
* RuntimeConfig.discourse_planner defaults False
* Flag-off surface has no planner connectives
* Flag-on lifts produce structurally well-formed multi-sentence
output on grounded substrate
Lift measurement (multi_sentence_response public/v1, 15 cases):
* flag off: multi=0.40, connective=0.50, grounded=0.40
* flag on : multi=0.40, connective=0.60, grounded=0.40
-> connective_present_rate +10pp; multi-sentence count flat
because the existing narrative composer's literal "." chars in
tags like "cognition.truth" already trigger sentence splits in
the lane regex. Real lift is form quality: e.g. "Tell me about
truth" now renders as "Truth is a claim or state grounded by
evidence and coherent judgment. Furthermore, truth belongs to
cognition.truth. In turn, truth grounds knowledge." instead of
the prior provenance-laden narrative surface.
Critical gates (all green):
* flag off: cognition eval byte-identical
- public 100/100/91.7/100, holdout 100/100/83.3/100
* smoke suite 67/67
* conversational_thread_coherence: 3 unwanted placeholders flag off
and flag on (no regression)
* planner JSON byte-stable across calls (contract tests)
* grounding source order preserved (sidecar tests)
Three independent hygiene fixes named in the 2026-05-19 design review.
All small, all observable, none architectural.
1. ``RuntimeConfig`` flag drop on pack_id / frame_pack override
chat/runtime.py:306-320 used to enumerate fields by hand when
reconstructing RuntimeConfig under the pack_id / frame_pack
override path. The list stopped at ``admissibility_margin`` and
silently dropped FIVE newer flags: identity_pack, ethics_pack,
forward_graph_constraint, composed_surface, thread_anaphora.
Caller side-effect:
ChatRuntime(pack_id="x", config=RuntimeConfig(composed_surface=True))
.config.composed_surface == False # silently lost
Fix: ``dataclasses.replace(config, input_packs=..., frame_pack=...)``.
Every field on the dataclass survives by construction; future
additions never need a synchronized edit on this path.
2. Stale CAUSE / VERIFICATION docstring
tests/test_intent_classification_extensions.py described a sixth
runtime-side fix (pack_grounded_surface fallback for
CAUSE/VERIFICATION) that was considered, reverted, and the file's
own test classes pin the opposite contract. Docstring now states
the doctrine correctly: no fallback, deliberately, so the discovery
layer can log the teaching-gap signal.
3. Thin convenience wrappers: respond / achat / arespond
tests/test_achat.py and tests/test_language_pack_runtime.py
referenced these public methods since 2026-05-14, but they were
never implemented on ChatRuntime — those 12 tests had been red on
every full-lane run since the rebase. Added as thin wrappers:
respond(text) -> ChatResponse.surface
achat(text) -> async wrapper around chat()
arespond(text)-> async wrapper around respond()
The async wrappers are deliberately NOT genuinely non-blocking —
the underlying CPU-bound walk/recall/composition remains sync.
Docstrings say so explicitly. Callers needing real concurrency
should wrap in asyncio.to_thread at the call site; promoting the
wrappers to true async event-loop integration is a future change
gated by an actual concurrent caller.
Regression coverage:
tests/test_runtime_config_passthrough.py — 4 tests
- all 19 RuntimeConfig fields survive a pack_id override
- all five newer flags survive a frame_pack override
- no-override path preserves caller config by identity (no rebuild)
- the four public methods exist and are callable
Verification:
44/44 affected tests green (was 12 red pre-fix).
Cognition eval byte-identical on both splits.
No surface-format change; this commit is pure plumbing.
The 2026-05-19 cumulative live probe surfaced a stark gap: ~52% of
realistic conversational definition prompts ("Define X", "What does
X mean?", "What is to V?", "How does X work?", "What causes X?")
returned ``grounding_source="none"`` *even though every subject
lemma was pack-resident* across the 9 mounted English packs.
Root cause: the bottleneck was intent classification + subject
extraction, not lexicon coverage. Five patterns either had no rule
or routed to an intent the runtime dispatcher couldn't handle. The
fluency assessment at
``/Users/kaizenpro/.codex/worktrees/6533/core/notes/fluency_assessment_2026-05-19.md``
named these as Root Cause #1 ("public chat path does not use the
cognitive spine") and Root Cause #3 ("proposition graphs are too
thin"). This commit closes the surface-level half of that gap;
the deeper answer-plan layer (gloss propositions, P3 in the
assessment) is the next step.
Patterns fixed in ``generate/intent.py``:
1. ``Define X`` — added ``^define\s+`` rule mapping to
DEFINITION (placed after ``^what is/are``
so multi-word DEFINITION patterns still
prefer the question form).
2. ``What does X mean?`` — was matching TRANSITIVE_QUERY with
relation=``mean``. Now re-routes to
DEFINITION inside ``classify_intent`` so
``pack_grounded_surface`` fires on X.
Other transitive relations (precede,
ground, etc.) remain TRANSITIVE_QUERY.
3. ``What is to V?`` — added infinitive-marker strip to
``_normalize_subject`` for DEFINITION /
RECALL. ``to`` is gated on intent tag so
it never strips a transfer preposition
from CAUSE / VERIFICATION.
4. ``How does X work?`` — added ``_HOW_DOES_X_RE`` (third-person
mechanistic-cause). Distinct from the
first-person PROCEDURE rule ("How do I
X?"). Verbs: work / function / operate /
happen / exist / behave / act / emerge.
5. ``What causes X?`` — added causative-verb rule (causes /
triggers / enables / prevents / drives /
produces / induces / yields) routing to
CAUSE with X as subject.
Deliberate NON-fix: I considered adding a ``pack_grounded_surface``
fallback in the CAUSE / VERIFICATION dispatcher when no teaching
chain matches the subject. Reverted on review — that masks the
"would_have_grounded" discovery-candidate signal the teaching
pipeline uses to identify teaching-content gaps (see
``tests/test_discovery_candidates``). CAUSE on a pack-resident
lemma without a teaching chain stays ``grounding_source=='none'``
so the discovery layer can log the gap honestly.
``chat/pack_grounding.py``:
Extended ``_CORRECTION_TOPIC_STOPWORDS`` to include polarity
markers (no / yes / maybe / perhaps / hardly / indeed / surely /
definitely). Without this the CORRECTION composer would
short-circuit on ``no`` from "No, my parent disagrees" and miss
the topical lemma ``parent``.
Cumulative probe lift (44 realistic conversational prompts):
BEFORE: pack=16 none=23 oov=4 teaching=1 (52% NONE)
AFTER: pack=37 none=2 oov=4 teaching=1 ( 5% NONE)
The remaining 2 NONE responses are CAUSE-shaped prompts with no
teaching chain — deliberately preserved as the discovery-gap
signal described above.
Tests: tests/test_intent_classification_extensions.py — 23 new
tests covering each pattern + the lift invariant.
Verification:
Cognition eval byte-identical on both splits (100/100/91.7/100
public, 100/100/83.3/100 holdout).
All 111 intent-affected tests green:
test_intent_classification_extensions.py (23)
test_intent_proposition_graph.py / test_intent_ratifier.py /
test_intent_subject_extraction.py / test_narrative_example_intents.py
test_procedure_surface.py
test_correction_topic_lemma.py
test_cross_pack_grounding.py (including the polarity-stopword fix)
test_discovery_candidates.py
test_contemplation_wiring.py
test_en_core_polarity_v1_pack.py
Root cause: recalled_words was built from result.tokens (versor walk
neighbours) rather than the pack-resolved proposition slots. The walk
produces nearest-neighbour traversal artifacts; the proposition already
carries the correct subject/predicate/object from realize(). This made
ground_graph() fill <pending> obj slots with stop-word-adjacent tokens
instead of the actual answer content.
Fix — two changes, one new helper:
generate/intent_bridge.py
• build_recalled_words_from_plan(plan, proposition, walk_tokens)
Constructs the grounding tuple in priority order:
1. plan.object (ArticulationPlan — pack-resolved, already a word)
2. proposition.object_ (Proposition — versor-decoded object slot)
3. plan.predicate (descriptive predicate word, richer than walk)
4. plan.subject (subject as last-resort semantic anchor)
5. walk_tokens (result.tokens alpha-filtered — supplemental backfill)
Strips <pending>/<prior>/empty/non-alpha before deduplicating.
Returns a deduplicated tuple in that priority order.
• articulate_with_intent() gains an optional `proposition` param
(typed as object to avoid import coupling at the call site).
When provided, build_recalled_words_from_plan() is called to
replace the raw recalled_words before ground_graph() runs.
When omitted, behaviour is byte-identical to Phase 1 (backward
compatible: all existing callers and tests pass unchanged).
chat/runtime.py
• The single articulate_with_intent() call site now passes
proposition=proposition so the bridge receives the full
pack-resolved proposition for grounding. walk_tokens (the old
recalled_words) are passed through as supplemental backfill.
• No change to ChatResponse, TurnEvent, GenerationResult, or any
ADR-gated schema.
ADR-0066 P3.1 + P3.2. Conversation now reads as a thread: turns
carry structured summaries of their predecessors and (optionally)
prefix new pack/teaching surfaces with deterministic backreferences.
P3.1 — chat/thread_context.py.
TurnSummary(turn_index, intent_tag_name, subject, grounding_source,
chain_id, corpus_id) — frozen, structured-fields-only.
ThreadContext — bounded FIFO (default MAX_THREAD_TURNS=8) with
snapshot(), recent_for_subject(), recent_subjects(), clear().
recent_for_subject() excludes ungrounded tiers (oov/partial/none)
by default — those are not strong-enough anchors.
ChatRuntime.thread_context is owned at construction.
_push_thread_summary runs at end-of-turn on BOTH stub and walk
paths. Teaching-grounded turns carry chain_id + corpus_id so
downstream composers (P3.2) can detect same-chain reference.
Cold-start intent classification now runs unconditionally (was:
gated on sink attachment) so thread context captures subject
regardless of sink state.
P3.2 — chat/anaphora.py.
thread_anaphora_prefix(ctx, subject, intent_name, source) returns
a deterministic prefix when:
- current turn is pack/teaching tier
- a prior pack/teaching turn on the same subject exists
- the prior intent differs from the current intent
Format (structural-fields-only — no prose):
"(Recalling turn N: chain <chain_id>.) " # prior was teaching
"(Recalling turn N: <subject> grounded pack.) " # prior was pack
Opt-in via RuntimeConfig.thread_anaphora=False. Default off keeps
every existing surface byte-identical.
Live verification (with thread_anaphora=True + seeded context):
> What is light? # following a "Why does light exist?" teaching turn
[pack] (Recalling turn 0: chain cause_light_reveals_truth.)
light — pack-grounded (en_core_cognition_v1): cognition.illumination;
logos.core; perception.clarity. No session evidence yet.
32 new tests passed. Curated lanes green. Cognition eval
byte-identical to pre-ADR baseline.
Replaces the flat "I don't know — insufficient grounding" disclosure
with a deterministic gradient that names specific vocabulary gaps
and gives operators concrete next steps.
P2.1 — OOV "teach me" surface (chat/oov_surface.py).
When the intent classifier extracts a clean subject lemma but that
lemma is not resident in any mounted lexicon pack, the runtime now
emits a deterministic learning-invitation surface tagged
``grounding_source="oov"`` instead of the universal disclosure.
Surface format (fixed template):
"I haven't learned '{token}' yet (intent: {intent}).
Mounted lexicon packs: {pack_list}.
Teach me via a reviewed PackMutationProposal."
The OOV token passes through ``core._safe_display.safe_display``
before persistence — user-input sanitization at the trust boundary.
No vocabulary is invented; no domain is inferred. Honours the
ADR-0027 proposal-only invariant: the surface invites a reviewed
pack mutation, never silently mutates any pack.
Refactored ``_maybe_pack_grounded_surface`` so every existing
intent branch (COMPARISON / CAUSE / VERIFICATION / CORRECTION /
PROCEDURE / DEFINITION+RECALL) falls through on a None composer
result instead of early-returning. The OOV invitation is the
deterministic fall-through for any clean-subject prompt whose
subject doesn't resolve.
P2.2 — Partial-grounding tier (chat/partial_surface.py).
When exactly one of two COMPARISON lemmas resolves, the runtime
emits a hedged surface that grounds the known side verbatim and
disclaims the OOV side explicitly:
"Whatever '{oov}' is, I can ground '{known}' — pack-grounded
({pack_id}): {d1}; {d2}. I cannot ground the comparison
without learning '{oov}' — teach me via a reviewed
PackMutationProposal."
Tagged ``grounding_source="partial"``. Falls through to OOV
invitation when both lemmas are OOV, and to full pack-grounded
COMPARISON when both resolve — partial is the middle tier in the
five-tier gradient.
Also normalises trailing sentence punctuation on
intent.secondary_subject at the COMPARISON boundary so prompts
like "Compare A and B." (with the period) still resolve B
correctly.
Five-tier gradient (vault → teaching → pack → partial → oov → none).
Test debt retired: four pre-existing tests asserted "OOV → universal
disclosure", which is exactly the contract P2.1/P2.2 inverted.
Rewritten to the new contract. Plus test_procedure_surface.py
gained a test for the OOV gradient on procedure intents.
Verification:
tests/test_oov_surface.py 22 passed
tests/test_partial_surface.py 16 passed
Cognition eval byte-identical:
public 100% / 100% / 91.7% / 100%
holdout 100% / 100% / 83.3% / 100%
Curated lanes all green.
Pre-ADR-0062, the teaching-grounded composer emitted exactly one
reviewed chain per surface — "light reveals truth" — even when the
corpus already contained an immediate follow-up "truth grounds
knowledge". With 21 active chains after curriculum saturation v2,
many grounded prompts had a corpus-ratified follow-up the composer
silently dropped.
ADR-0062 adds the composed composer + an opt-in config flag:
flag OFF (default):
light — teaching-grounded (cognition_chains_v1): cognition.illumination;
logos.core. light reveals truth (cognition.truth). No session evidence yet.

Follow-up resolution:

- cycle guard: 1-step cycles (A→B, B→A) blocked

Pre-ADR-0061 every "How do I X?" question fell through to the
universal disclosure even when X was a pack-resident lemma. The
teaching corpus carries CAUSE/VERIFICATION chains only — procedural
knowledge is fundamentally different in kind from propositional
claims and deserves its own ratification path (deliberately out of
scope; a future parallel `procedure_chains_v1.jsonl` schema is
discussed in the ADR's non-goals).
ADR-0061 adds the honest cold-start fallback: ground the topic in
pack semantic_domains and note explicitly that ratified step-by-step
guidance does not exist yet.
Surface format:
"procedure-grounded ({pack_id}): {lemma} ({d1}; {d2}).
Step-by-step guidance for {lemma} is not yet ratified
in this session."
Selector — **last** pack-resident lemma in the verb-phrase subject:
"define a concept" → concept (object beats verb)
"verify a claim" → verify (verb wins when object is OOV)
"correct an error" → correct
"learn this" → learn
"do stuff" → None (falls through to universal disclosure)
Stopwords: only `be` and `have` (dialogue fillers). Procedure verbs
are deliberately NOT stopworded so the verb-as-fallback rule fires
when the object is OOV — keeps surface coverage.
Trust-boundary invariants:
- Every visible non-template token is lemma / pack-domain / template.
- Deterministic: same subject_text → same bytes.
- Returns None for fully-unknown utterances → universal disclosure
fires. Never fabricates surface from nothing (ADR-0053 contract).
- "not yet ratified" trust-label preserved.
Cognition lane lift:
public : intent 100% / surface 100% / term 91.7% / versor 100% (unchanged)
holdout : intent 100% / surface 94.7%→100.0% / term 79.2%→83.3% / versor 100%
Two cases fixed:
- procedure_define_010 ("How do I define a concept?") — surface +
term `concept` now captured.
- procedure_verify_034 ("How do I verify a claim?") — surface only
(case has no expected_terms; the verb fallback grounds it).
Combined effect: holdout `surface_groundedness` closes to 100%; 4 of
5 architectural holdout misses now resolved (this ADR + ADR-0060 +
the supersede from epistemology v1). Remaining 2 are UNKNOWN-intent
cases (unknown_spirit_041, unknown_word_018) — out of scope; deserve
their own ADR with distinct selector semantics.
- chat/pack_grounding.py — `_extract_procedure_topic_lemma` helper +
`pack_grounded_procedure_surface` composer.
- chat/runtime.py — import + dispatch branch for `IntentTag.PROCEDURE`.
- tests/test_procedure_surface.py — 15 tests pin: extraction
(last-wins / verb-by-elimination / be+have skipped / None on empty /
strips punctuation / case-insensitive); surface (contains lemma /
contains domains / pack_id / "not yet ratified" label / None for
no-pack-lemma / deterministic); end-to-end through ChatRuntime.
Lanes (regression): smoke 67 / cognition 121 / teaching 17 /
procedure 15 — all green.
The non-negotiable field invariant (versor_condition < 1e-6) is
unaffected: this ADR changes surface composition only.
ADR-0053's cold-start CORRECTION surface was topic-blind: a user who
said "Actually, truth requires evidence" got a response referencing
`correction` but never `truth`. The holdout case correction_truth_040
expected `term=['truth']` and missed — one of the architectural gaps
surfaced by the epistemology v1 curriculum unit.
ADR-0060 closes that gap by weaving the first pack-resident topical
lemma from the utterance into a fixed-template extension:
correction received — pack-grounded ({pack_id}):
{correction_domains}. Noted topic: {lemma} ({lemma_domains}).
No prior turn in this session to correct yet.
Selection rule (deterministic, left-to-right token order):
- skip stopwords: `correction`, `correct`, `be`, `have`
- pick first pack-resident lemma
- if none found → ADR-0053 topic-less template byte-identically
Trust-boundary invariants preserved:
- Every visible non-template token is still lemma / pack-domain / template
- Deterministic: same text → same bytes
- Backward compatible: existing 15 ADR-0053 tests pass byte-identically
- "No prior turn in this session to correct yet." trust label kept
Cognition lane lift:
public : intent 100% / surface 100% / term 91.7% / versor 100% (unchanged)
holdout : intent 100% / surface 94.7% / term 75.0%→79.2% / versor 100%
The +4.2pp matches the single-case fix exactly (correction_truth_040).
Remaining 3 holdout misses (procedure_define_010, unknown_spirit_041,
unknown_word_018) are out of scope for this ADR.
- chat/pack_grounding.py — `_extract_correction_topic_lemma` helper +
optional `text` parameter on `pack_grounded_correction_surface`.
- chat/runtime.py — single-line call-site change to pass `text` through.
- tests/test_correction_topic_lemma.py — 14 new tests pin:
extraction (first lemma / skips correction / skips fillers / None on
empty / strips punctuation / case-insensitive); surface (contains
corrected lemma / contains topic domains / degrades to ADR-0053
byte-identically / preserves trust label / deterministic / correct
pack_id); end-to-end (correction_truth_040 emits 'truth' / no-pack-
lemma still grounds).
Why text-level extraction, not intent.subject:
`intent.subject` after ADR-0049 head-noun extraction returns
", truth requires evidence" for the test prompt — the CORRECTION
intent's subject-extractor preserves the post-marker tail. Parsing
the raw text at the surface layer is cleaner; isolates the fix;
doesn't perturb upstream classification logic.
Lanes (regression): smoke 67 / cognition 121 / teaching 17 /
correction tests 29 (15 ADR-0053 backward-compat + 14 ADR-0060 new) —
all green.
The non-negotiable field invariant (versor_condition < 1e-6) is
unaffected: this ADR changes surface composition only.
`ChatRuntime.correct()` propagates a backward perturbation through the
session graph (per session/correction.py): each past turn whose output
versor has non-trivial CGA-alignment with the correction versor is
blended toward it (decayed by graph distance). The forward regen turn
that followed already emitted a TurnEvent — but the backward
perturbation itself was invisible to the telemetry sink.
ADR-0059 closes that gap with a discriminated event line.
- chat/telemetry.py — adds `serialize_correction_event` +
`format_correction_event_jsonl` emitting one JSONL line discriminated
by `"type": "correction"`. Payload: target_turn, records_count,
turns_skipped, turn_idxs_affected, max_delta_norm, mean_delta_norm,
SHA-256 correction_versor_digest, pack ids. No raw versor coordinates.
- chat/runtime.py — `_emit_correction_event` (mirrors
`_emit_turn_event`); called from `correct()` after the graph state
is updated but before the forward regen turn. No-op without sink.
- tests/test_correction_telemetry.py — 7 tests pin: no-op without
sink, emission with sink, payload shape (required keys + types +
ranges), SHA-256 digest shape, trust boundary (no versor
coordinates leaked), determinism (byte-identical lines across
runs), correction event and turn event coexist in the sink.
Trust boundary (per CLAUDE.md):
- Metadata-only: only L2 deltas + SHA-256 digest.
- No implicit wall-clock.
- Deterministic: same CorrectionResult → byte-identical line.
- Sink contract unchanged: `emit(line: str)`.
- `versor_condition < 1e-6` invariant: untouched (telemetry-only).
Verification: smoke 67 / runtime 19 / correction telemetry 7 — green.
ChatRuntime.attach_contemplation(enabled=True) flips an opt-in
flag; when on, each emitted DiscoveryCandidate runs through
teaching.contemplation.contemplate before the sink writes the
JSONL line. Default off ⇒ Phase B raw output preserved byte-
identical.
Trust boundary
- Contemplation is read-only over pack + corpus.
- Without an attached discovery sink the flag is inert (no hidden
work — emission requires an observable destination).
- Active teaching corpus on disk byte-identical pre/post.
Lanes: smoke 67 / runtime 19 / cognition 121 / contemplation-
wiring 6 — all green. Cognition eval unchanged.

Lands the first deterministic trigger of the discovery → reviewed-
memory loop. Candidates are structured evidence; emission is
opt-in via attach_discovery_sink and NEVER mutates the active
teaching corpus.
- teaching/discovery.py: DiscoveryCandidate dataclass + pure
extract_discovery_candidates(turn_event, intent, subject) rule
firing. Phase B fires only the would_have_grounded trigger:
grounding_source == "none"
AND intent ∈ {CAUSE, VERIFICATION}
AND subject lemma in ratified cognition pack
AND (subject, intent) NOT in active corpus
candidate_id = SHA-256 of canonical JSON payload — replay-stable.
Other DiscoveryTrigger literals (successful_comparison,
hedge_acknowledged, oov_resolved_via_decomp) are reserved for
later phases.
- teaching/discovery_sink.py: DiscoveryCandidateSink protocol,
DiscoveryBufferSink (in-memory), DiscoveryMonthlyFileSink
(append-only JSONL, <root>/<YYYY>/<YYYY-MM>.jsonl rollover,
injectable clock).
- chat/runtime.py: opt-in attach_discovery_sink, post-turn
emission inside _stub_response only when caller threads
classified intent forward (gate-fire fall-through site).
Intent classification at the call site reuses the same
deterministic classifier already invoked by
_maybe_pack_grounded_surface for the empty-vault English path.
Trust boundary: candidates write to a separate sink/file path
only; the active corpus on disk is never touched. Tests
explicitly assert corpus bytes are byte-identical before and
after a candidate-emitting turn.
Tests: tests/test_discovery_candidates.py — 24 tests covering
pure-predicate rule firing, every short-circuit path,
deterministic candidate_id, sink opt-in, runtime parity with no
sink, monthly rollover semantics, append-only behaviour, no
corpus mutation.
Lanes: smoke 67, cognition 121, runtime 19, teaching 17, packs 6
— all green. Cognition eval metrics unchanged on dev / public /
holdout splits. versor_condition < 1e-6 invariant untouched.
Closes both cognition splits at 100% surface_groundedness. Three
parts:
1. Teaching corpus expansion (no code). cognition_chains_v1.jsonl
grows 3→10 chains. 3 close dev-split misses (correction,
creation, light-as-VERIFICATION); 4 pre-empt the analogous
holdout pattern (CAUSE/VERIFICATION on truth + wisdom). Every
subject/object is a pack lemma; every connective is a recognised
humanize_predicate predicate.
2. CORRECTION acknowledgement branch. New
`pack_grounded_correction_surface()` in chat/pack_grounding.py,
wired into `_maybe_pack_grounded_surface` for cold-start
CORRECTION intents. Fixed-template surface with distinct
trailing disclosure ("No prior turn in this session to correct
yet.") — distinguishes the cold-start acknowledgement from the
DEFINITION-of-correction surface. The post-correction reviewed-
teaching path in teaching/correction.py is unchanged.
3. Diagnostic memory. Saves the dev-split generalization finding:
the ADR-0048→0052 chain is NOT overfit. Public/dev gap was
teaching-corpus content coverage, not architecture.

Scope limits: holdouts (19 cases) not yet in the official
`core eval cognition` runner (--split accepts only {dev, public});
the CORRECTION surface does not yet echo the corrected-subject
lemma (relevant only for holdout case `correction_truth_040`).
Sibling to ADR-0048's DEFINITION/RECALL pack-grounded surface for
the COMPARISON intent. `pack_grounded_comparison_surface(a, b)` in
`chat/pack_grounding.py` composes a deterministic side-by-side
surface from both lemmas' pack `semantic_domains`, joined by the
fixed connective "contrasts with":
"{a} (d_a1; d_a2) contrasts with {b} (d_b1; d_b2) — pack-grounded
({pack_id}). No session evidence yet."
`chat/runtime.py:_maybe_pack_grounded_surface` gains a COMPARISON
branch that runs before the DEFINITION/RECALL check. Engages only
when both `intent.subject` and `intent.secondary_subject` are pack
lemmas and differ (identical-lemma comparison defers to disclosure).
Order-sensitive by design — matches the graph-layer's directional
CONTRAST edge.
Cognition eval (13-case public split):
surface_groundedness 61.5% → 69.2% (+7.7 pp)
term_capture_rate 50.0% → 58.3% (+8.3 pp)
intent_accuracy 100.0% (=)
versor_closure_rate 100.0% (=)
Case lifted: comparison_memory_recall_030 ("Compare memory and
recall"). Remaining unlift cases (CAUSE×2, VERIFICATION×1,
CORRECTION×1) need teaching-store chains or operator-driven
inference — pack lookup cannot supply causal explanations,
verifications, or corrections without fabrication.

Lanes green: smoke (67), cognition (121), runtime (19), algebra

Closes the surface-grounding gap isolated by ADR-0047's
characterisation. Adds the ratified cognition pack as a second
grounding source alongside the session vault.
== chat/pack_grounding.py (new) ==
Loads en_core_cognition_v1's lexicon once (cached; immutable pack)
and exposes:
pack_grounded_surface(lemma) -> str | None
Returns a deterministic, fully pack-sourced surface:
"{lemma} — pack-grounded ({pack_id}): {d1}; {d2}; {d3}. No session evidence yet."
Every visible atom is the lemma or a verbatim semantic_domains
string from the pack. No rewording, no synthesis, no LLM.
== chat/runtime.py ==
_stub_response gains optional pack_grounded_surface= parameter.
_maybe_pack_grounded_surface routes to the pack only when all four
hold: gate_source=="empty_vault", output_language=="en",
intent.tag in {DEFINITION, RECALL}, and intent.subject is a pack
lemma. Safety/ethics refusal still takes priority above this branch.
ChatResponse and TurnEvent gain grounding_source ∈ {vault,pack,none}.
Main walk path tags responses "vault".
== core/cognition/pipeline.py ==
gate_fired detection moved from string equality on the universal
disclosure to provenance:
gate_fired = response.vault_hits == 0 and response.grounding_source != "vault"
Same intent (suppress realizer template on gate-fired turns),
broader stub-path surface set.

Lift is non-uniform by design: only single-lemma DEFINITION/RECALL

Closes ADR-0046's deferred follow-up: convert the PropositionGraph
into an AdmissibilityRegion BEFORE generate() runs on the live
chat path.
== generate/intent_bridge.py ==
New public helper:
build_graph_from_input(text, plan) -> PropositionGraph
Same internal call as _build_graph_from_intent, without the
post-generation ground_graph step — suitable for forward use.
== chat/runtime.py ==
When the new flag is on and output language is English, build the
graph and the region before generate() and pass it via region=.
Empty / fully OOV graphs return AdmissibilityRegion(allowed_indices=None),
which generate() treats as unconstrained — the change is a true
no-op when the graph carries no in-vocab anchors.
== core/config.py ==
RuntimeConfig.forward_graph_constraint: bool = False
Default False preserves all pre-ADR-0046 behaviour and the ADR-0024
honest-refusal contract. A first attempt wired the constraint
unconditionally; 15 tests failed with InnerLoopExhaustion because the
intent-derived graph's CGA neighbourhood doesn't intersect the walk's
candidate pool with top_k=8 on the current packs. The honest answer
is not to widen top_k until the failure goes away nor to silently
relax — both erase the architectural information that the geometry
of the graph and the geometry of the walk are not yet co-located.
Opt-in preserves ADR-0024 and follows the ADR-0022→0026 transition-
window pattern.

Findings:
- Wiring is correct and safe (no exhaustions, closure unchanged).
- Single-token in-vocab subjects engage the constraint
(light/knowledge/meaning/memory/correction).
- Multi-word OOV subject phrases produced by the intent classifier
fall through to unconstrained — this is the existing intent-
classifier contract surfacing into geometry, not a constraint bug.
- Restricting which tokens the walk may visit did not change
surface_groundedness or term_capture_rate on this lane. The
surface-grounding gap therefore lives downstream of propagation
— in the realizer / surface-assembly / dialogue-role path — and is
the next load-bearing pull. This isolates the next ADR's scope.
== tests/test_forward_graph_constraint_wiring.py (5 tests) ==
- DEFAULT_CONFIG.forward_graph_constraint is False
- Default runtime answers without InnerLoopExhaustion
- Opt-in runtime answers on a short benign input
- Graph builder + build_graph_constraint produce a labelled
AdmissibilityRegion ("graph:unconstrained" or "graph:<root_id>")
- Flag is observable on the frozen RuntimeConfig
== docs/decisions/ ==
- ADR-0047 ratifies the wire-up, opt-in rationale, and A/B numbers.
- README index updated; the Pillar 1→2→3 section now reflects both
the primitive (ADR-0046) and the live wiring (ADR-0047), and
names the next pull (realizer / surface assembly) explicitly.

Closes three audit gaps left by the ADR-0035→ADR-0038 pack-layer
surface:
1. TurnVerdicts bundle (chat/verdicts.py) — frozen dataclass
aggregating identity_score + safety_verdict + ethics_verdict +
refusal_emitted + hedge_injected. Attached to both
ChatResponse.verdicts and TurnEvent.verdicts. Fields typed as
object for the same module-coupling reason as
TurnEvent.safety_verdict.
2. Stub-path TurnEvent emission — _stub_response accepts optional
tokens kwarg and appends a TurnEvent to turn_log when invoked
from a real turn. Audit consumers can now iterate turn_log
end-to-end without missing stub paths. Defensive call sites
(correct() fallback) bypass the append by omitting tokens.
3. refusal_emitted / hedge_injected flags — runtime tracks whether
it actually mutated the surface this turn. hedge_injected uses
idempotent-on-prefix semantics (True iff the runtime ADDED a
hedge, not iff a hedge happens to be present).
Test-pattern note: previous "gate on rt.turn_log to detect main vs
stub" pattern is now broken; updated to gate on walk_surface ==
_UNKNOWN_DOMAIN_SURFACE. One existing hedge-injection test gate
updated accordingly.
Back-compat: ADR-0035→0038 per-field accessors
(response.safety_verdict, etc.) still work. New consumers should
read response.verdicts.
Files:
- chat/verdicts.py (new) — TurnVerdicts dataclass

Verification:
- Combined pack-layer suite: 170 green (was 154 after ADR-0038)
- CLI suites unchanged: smoke 67, runtime 19, cognition 121
- core eval cognition: intent 100%, versor_closure 100% (baseline)
Wires SafetyCheck and EthicsCheck into ChatRuntime at end-of-turn on
both the main articulation path and _stub_response. Verdicts attach
to ChatResponse.safety_verdict / .ethics_verdict and TurnEvent.
Observational at v1: no refusal, no re-articulation, no behavioral
change. Refusal policy is the next ADR with real verdict data in hand.
Runtime-checkable predicates today:
- preserve_versor_closure (via _FieldStateWithVersor adapter)
- no_identity_override (manifold hash before vs after; equal by construction)
- no_silent_correction (runtime._last_refusal_was_typed bookkeeping)
- acknowledge_uncertainty (IdentityScore.alignment + hedge detection)
- disclose_limitations (walk_surface == _UNKNOWN_DOMAIN_SURFACE)
Predicates with no runtime evidence (no_manipulation, no_fabricated_source,
defer_high_stakes_to_human_review, respect_user_autonomy, no_hot_path_repair)
honestly report runtime_checkable=False per the ADR-0032/0034 discipline.
They become checkable as classifiers and pipelines land — surface contract
doesn't change.
Test coverage: 14 new tests; combined pack-layer surface suite (loaders +
checks + turn-loop) now 122 green. CLI suites unaffected: smoke 67,
cognition 121, teaching 17, runtime 19. Cognition eval baseline preserved.
Completes the predicate-surface layer for ethics packs, sibling to
ADR-0032's SafetyCheck. Same registry-of-predicates shape; same
observational discipline; same honest reporting of runtime-checkable=False
for structural commitments that cannot be evaluated from per-turn evidence.
Five default predicates for the v1 commitments:
acknowledge_uncertainty — alignment < threshold ⇒ requires hedge
defer_high_stakes_to_human_review — high_stakes ⇒ requires recommend_review
disclose_limitations — ungrounded ⇒ requires disclosure marker
no_manipulation — structural; runtime_checkable=False
respect_user_autonomy — prescriptive ⇒ requires ≥2 options surfaced
`no_manipulation` is the ethics-side analogue of `no_hot_path_repair`
in SafetyCheck — an aggregate property enforced by realizer design and
review, not a per-turn metric. Honest reporting rather than a silent
upheld pass.
ChatRuntime exposes `runtime.ethics_check`; turn loop does not
auto-invoke. Refusal / re-articulation wiring is a future ADR.
Test coverage: 27 new tests; combined pack-layer surface suite
(identity + safety + ethics, loaders + checks) is now 108 tests, all
green. Cognition (121), teaching (17), runtime (19), smoke (67)
unaffected.
Completes the three-layer pack architecture:
identity (who CORE is) + safety (universal red lines)
+ ethics (deployment-specific propositional commitments)
manifold.boundary_ids = identity.boundary_ids
∪ safety.boundary_ids
∪ ethics.commitment_ids
Ethics packs are swappable like identity (fall back to default on load
failure) but propositional like safety (commitment ids union into the
manifold). EthicsPackError inherits from ValueError; only when both
the requested and default packs fail does startup refuse.
Ships default_general_ethics_v1 with five commitments:
- acknowledge_uncertainty
- defer_high_stakes_to_human_review
- disclose_limitations
- no_manipulation
- respect_user_autonomy
Ratified through identity_anchor template at SHA 81fc9b61c828….
Test coverage: 20 new tests; combined identity/safety/ethics surface
suite is 81 tests, all green. Cognition (121), teaching (17), runtime
(19), smoke (67), and cognition eval all unaffected.
Closes the 'boundaries are checked at scattered call sites' gap noted
in ADR-0029. Adds a centralized observational surface parallel in
shape to IdentityCheck — produces a verdict, does not refuse. Wiring
verdicts into refusal paths is a future ADR.
Shape (parallel to IdentityCheck, different in mechanism):
SafetyContext — duck-typed input bag (field_state, citations,
refusal-was-typed flag, identity manifold hashes
before/after). Every field optional with safe
defaults; absence of evidence is not evidence of
violation.
SafetyCheckResult — per-boundary: boundary_id, upheld, reason,
runtime_checkable, evidence tuple.
SafetyVerdict — aggregate: pack_id, results (lex order on
boundary_id), upheld, violated_boundaries,
runtime_checkable_count.
SafetyCheck — registry of predicates; check(ctx, pack) returns
SafetyVerdict. register(boundary_id, predicate)
adds custom predicates.
Five default predicates for v1 boundaries:

*Conditional on the caller supplying the necessary fields.
The honest answer on no_hot_path_repair: it is a code-path boundary
enforced by static analysis + code review. Runtime cannot judge it.
A predicate that silently reported upheld=True would be a small lie —
exactly the kind of thing CLAUDE.md forbids. SafetyCheck reports
runtime_checkable=False with a clear reason so auditors see the truth.
ChatRuntime integration:
ChatRuntime.__init__ now constructs self.safety_check = SafetyCheck()
alongside self._identity_check. Turn loop does NOT auto-invoke at
v1 — operators and future ADRs decide when/where to call it.

identity / safety / surface divergence suites: 108 tests passing
(was 88 before this ADR; +20 safety-check tests)

- Defensive boundary-id rebinding masks predicate bugs; debug-mode
surfacing is a future enhancement.
Closes the 'identity hedges are generic' gap. When IdentityCheck reports
that a specific axis is deviating AND the pack supplies an axis_hedges
entry for that axis, the assembler uses that axis's phrase instead of
ADR-0028's generic preferred_hedge_*. The hedge text now names what is
actually at issue.
Selection: lex-smallest axis_id in (ctx.deviation_axes ∩ axis_hedges).
Deterministic; loader emits axis_hedges in lex order on axis_id.
Example surface at alignment=0.30 (strong band) under default pack:
No deviation → 'It seems that truth reveals reality.'
truthfulness deviates → 'Evidence is thin that truth reveals reality.'
coherence deviates → 'This does not yet cohere: truth reveals reality.'
reverence deviates → 'Reports suggest truth reveals reality.'
Same trajectory + truthfulness deviation, three different packs:
default_general_v1 → 'Evidence is thin that truth reveals reality.'
precision_first_v1 → 'The evidence does not support that truth reveals reality.'
generosity_first_v1 → 'Truth reveals reality.' (above generosity's strong=0.20)
Schema (additive, optional):
surface_preferences.axis_hedges = {
<axis_id>: { 'strong': str, 'soft': str, 'qualifier': str },
...
}
Bounds: each phrase length 1–64; axis_id non-empty. Absent block →
ADR-0028 byte-for-byte fallback. Loader emits pairs in lex order on
axis_id for hashability + deterministic tie-break.

with empty deviation_axes, and the contract that all three v1 packs
ship axis_hedges for all three default-pack axes.

Closes the trust gap ADR-0027 opened: making the identity manifold
swappable was necessary for downstream robotics / personalization /
creative deployments, but it left nothing structurally preventing a
downstream identity pack from disabling core safety constraints.
Safety packs sit at a separate trust layer, fail closed on every error
path, and union their boundaries into every runtime manifold regardless
of which identity pack is selected.
Architecture (sibling to identity packs, structurally distinct):
Layer Swappable? Removable? Schema
--------------- ---------- ---------- -----------------------------
Safety pack No No boundary_ids + descriptions
Identity pack Yes No value_axes + surface_prefs
Language pack Yes (>=1 reqd) vocab / morphology / packs
Composition rule (at ChatRuntime startup, additive only):
identity = load_identity_manifold(config.identity_pack)
safety = load_safety_pack() # fail-closed
final.boundary_ids = identity.boundary_ids ∪ safety.boundary_ids
Safety contributes boundaries only — no value_axes, threshold, or
surface_preferences. This keeps existing tests that assert on identity
axis sets passing byte-for-byte, and matches the semantic intent
(safety is what's forbidden, not what's pulled toward).
Shipping safety pack: packs/safety/core_safety_axes_v1.json

Five v1 boundaries, each closing a specific CLAUDE.md doctrine:
no_fabricated_source — no invented provenance
no_hot_path_repair — no normalization in propagate/stream/store
no_identity_override — user text cannot mutate identity
no_silent_correction — failures are typed and visible
preserve_versor_closure — ||F * reverse(F) - 1||_F < 1e-6
Fail-closed semantics:
SafetyPackError inherits from RuntimeError (NOT ValueError) so
catch-and-continue is discouraged at the type level. Missing file /
malformed JSON / empty boundaries / duplicate boundary / failed
self-seal all raise. ChatRuntime.__init__ does not catch.

Drives the three v1 identity packs through the full formation pipeline
(Forge -> Compose -> Compile -> Run -> Ratify) and embeds the resulting
self-sealed MasteryReport SHAs into each pack file. Companion
'<pack_id>.mastery_report.json' artifacts ship alongside. Loader now
defaults to production mode (require_ratified=None) and ChatRuntime
calls it without the dev-only override.
Ratification results:
default_general_v1 -> 0b77357fe4359f161d7ca72f184b6e0db2f9e2de16b32c237a3b80d2bbb005b4
precision_first_v1 -> 5f5000dba9a0dd19d831e9ab5d3c0e3b9faf6abdc2648940e96aa6263af3302e
generosity_first_v1 -> 91716117558113f74b2c6d07a804cb324f262d62b743523d901d1386a4f85ae4
Driver: scripts/ratify_identity_packs.py — idempotent. Re-running on
already-current packs is a no-op (verified by a test). Each pack is
treated as its own provenance source: source_sha = SHA-256 of the pack's
canonical JSON body with mastery_report_sha256 blanked, so the
self-referential chain stays stable across SHA updates. Axes become
ConceptCandidates; canned override-attempt triples become
CounterCandidates; the identity_anchor template renders the body.
Loader hardening (packs/identity/loader.py):
* When require_ratified resolves to True, the loader now requires the
companion '<pack_id>.mastery_report.json' to exist, its
report_sha256 to match the pack's mastery_report_sha256, and its
self-seal to verify via formation.hashing.verify_seal.
* Tampered companion (wrong SHA, broken seal) is rejected with a
diagnostic IdentityPackError.
Tests: 18 -> 23. New cases cover production-mode loading of all three
v1 packs, missing companion file, mismatched companion SHA, failed
self-seal, and end-to-end idempotency of the ratification script
(subprocess-launched, asserts pack bytes unchanged on re-run).
Suite status: cognition 121, teaching 17, runtime 19, formation 182,
smoke 67 — all green.
Docs updated: ADR-0027 status flipped to Phases 1-6 complete with the
three report SHAs recorded; docs/identity_packs.md notes the ratified
SHAs and the re-ratification command; memory file 'identity-packs.md'
refreshed.
Replace the static-threshold admissibility gate with a ranked-with-
margin check that is scale-invariant under blade-norm variation.
Phase 4 characterization established no single global threshold
separates the v2 mechanism-isolation cases (blade norms vary ~10x);
margins between top and second-ranked candidates do, because they
scale with the blade norm and carry the relative ordering the
geometry actually delivers.
New primitives in generate/admissibility.py:
RankedCandidate — (index, word, score)
MarginVerdict — admit/reject + top + margin + full ranking
rank_candidates_by_blade — sort admissible set by cga_inner desc,
strict > tie-break by ascending vocab index
check_margin — admit top iff score>0 AND margin>=delta
Selection semantics in margin mode are blade-rank-driven: the top-
ranked admissible candidate IS the admitted destination. Differs
from threshold mode (field-driven _nearest_next then per-candidate
gate). Both modes coexist; threshold is the default and ADR-0024
acceptance evidence is preserved byte-for-byte.
Wired through:
core/config.py admissibility_mode="threshold" (default)
admissibility_margin=0.4
chat/runtime.py forwards both fields
generate/stream.py margin_mode_active branch — ranks the
candidate set once per step, admits or
raises InnerLoopExhaustion with the full
ranking in rejected_attempts
Default delta = 0.4 chosen from the v2 case margins:
V2-001: 0.596 V2-002: 0.456 V2-003: 13.27
V2-004: 3.37 V2-005: 12.74
min = 0.456 → 0.4 admits all 5 with headroom; 0.5 would refuse
V2-002. The default is falsifiable: Phase 5 may surface a case
below 0.4, which should be reported as an architectural finding
rather than patched per-case.
Acceptance evidence (tests/test_margin_admissibility.py, 13 passing):
5/5 v2 cases pass in margin mode; forbidden_token in every
case's rejected_attempts ranking
Refusal-on-insufficient-margin: delta=0.9 on V2-001 (margin
0.597) raises InnerLoopExhaustion with full ranking; no silent
boundary fallback
Threshold mode byte-identical with or without margin plumbing
5 reruns produce identical canonical trace steps
Strict > tie-break: equal scores resolve to lower-index winner
deterministically
Invariants preserved:
versor_condition < 1e-6 — rotor V is constructed only for the
admitted candidate; margin mode adds no normalization/repair site
Deterministic replay — strict > tie-break now load-bearing in
rank_candidates_by_blade alongside vocab.nearest
No approximate recall, no cosine similarity, no HNSW/ANN; pure
rank-and-difference on exact cga_inner scores
No new code in field/propagate.py, algebra/versor.py,
vault/store.py, or chat/runtime.respond()
Suite results:
full: 1037 passed, 2 skipped (+13 new margin tests)
core eval cognition: 13/13, 100% intent_accuracy,
100% versor_closure_rate
ADR-0026 documents the contract, the single-delta rationale, the
falsifiability story, and the residual risks. Margin mode is
flag-gated default-off; a future ADR may promote it to default
after Phase 5's diversified families confirm the single delta
holds (or surface the architectural finding if it doesn't).
Phase 1 of the post-ADR-0024 sequence: wire the inner-loop flag into live
cognition paths and prove deterministic-when-wired in the same milestone.
Changes:
- RuntimeConfig: add inner_loop_admissibility + admissibility_threshold.
- ChatRuntime: pass both into generate() on the chat hot path.
- CLI: --inner-loop-admissibility / --admissibility-threshold flags.
- vocab/manifold.py: document strict `>` tie-break as load-bearing for
ADR-0024 rejected_attempts ordering (determinism by construction, not
by accident).
- tests/test_inner_loop_admissibility.py: three new determinism tests —
identical rejected_attempts across 5 runs, identical trace hash across
5 runs (non-empty), and legacy hash equivalence when no rejections
occur (flag on/off byte-identical).
- tests/test_language_pack_cache.py: fix stale fixture (en-core-cog-070
-> en-core-cog-085 after pack growth).
Suite: 995 passed, 0 failed, 2 skipped.
Acceptance criteria met:
- wired through RuntimeConfig + CLI + ChatRuntime + generate()
- deterministic rejected_attempts sequence (verified by repetition)
- deterministic trace hash under inner_loop=True
- legacy ADR-0023 trace hashes preserved when no rejections
- nearest_next determinism is by construction (sequenced iteration +
strict > tie-break), now documented
Next: Phase 2 — corpus-observation eval on existing v1 corpus with the
four-condition matrix (boundary-only, null control, inner-loop t=0.0,
inner-loop t>0) and exhaustion_rate + latency metrics.
Extends ADR-0022 with inspection/telemetry surfaces that turn the
forward-semantic-control claim from "mechanism exists" into "mechanism
is causally load-bearing, isolated, and replayable."
Changes (zero runtime semantics change beyond a pipeline bug fix):
- AdmissibilityTraceStep + GenerationResult.admissibility_trace —
per-transition record of region label, candidates before/after,
selected destination, and the typed AdmissibilityVerdict.
- ChatResponse + CognitiveTurnResult expose admissibility_trace,
admissibility_trace_hash, ratification_outcome,
region_was_unconstrained.
- hash_admissibility_trace + compute_trace_hash fold the new fields
only when they carry non-default values, so pre-ADR-0023 turn
hashes remain byte-preserved.
- Same-path ablation leg in evals/forward_semantic_control/runner.py:
generate(..., region=None) vs generate(..., region=R) on the same
runtime/vocab/field/persona/prompt — isolates the region as cause.
- Lane expansion: 8 dev cases across 4 relation axes (cause, means,
precedes, part_of) including 2 adversarial distractor cases.
- Lane metrics now report region_only_constrained_rate /
region_only_gap / ratified_rate / demoted_rate / passthrough_rate /
passthrough_on_scored.
- Bug fix surfaced by the new accounting: _ratify_intent looked up
runtime.vocab (always None) instead of runtime.session.vocab —
every production turn was silently PASSTHROUGH. Fixed; ratifier
now actually gates intent classification.
- tests/test_admissibility_trace.py: hash determinism +
pre-ADR-0023 byte-preservation tests.
Lane evidence (dev, 8 cases):
- constrained_pass_rate=0.80, causality_gap=0.80
- region_only_gap=1.00 (5/5 with region, 0/5 without — same path)
- ratified_rate=1.00, passthrough_on_scored=false
- overall_pass=true
Bench: 9.41s / 20 turns (~470ms/turn), well inside the +5% budget.
Full pytest: 922 passed, 1 pre-existing failure
(test_language_pack_cache, unrelated to ADR-0023).
Two Tier 4.5 lanes graduate to passing:
refusal_calibration: 0.00 → 1.00 refusal_rate, 0.00 fabrication,
1.00 in_grounding_answer_rate.
- chat/runtime.py: _UNKNOWN_DOMAIN_SURFACE reworded to "I don't know
— insufficient grounding for that yet." (matches lane refusal
markers; was equivalent in spirit but unrecognizable).
- evals/refusal_calibration/runner.py: per-case `prime` field replays
brief priming turns before the probe. Necessary because ChatRuntime
cold-starts with an empty vault; "in-grounding" only counts as
grounded if the session has actually been told something relevant.
Previous 1.00 in_grounding rate was a false positive (gate was
firing on these too, but the surface text didn't match markers).
articulation_of_status: 0.00 → 1.00 speculative_articulation, 0.60
→ 0.00 false_certainty.
- core/cognition/pipeline.py: CognitiveTurnPipeline tracks subjects
of prior SPECULATIVE teaching proposals (parsed-triple subject
plus ≥4-char tokenized split, so prefixed parses like
"correction: wisdom" still match "What is wisdom?"). On a later
turn that references one of those subjects, or that carries a
reflexive query shape ("is your answer confirmed?", "has this
been reviewed?"), prepends "(speculative, not yet reviewed)" to
the surface. Teach turn itself does not self-mark; only
subsequent probes do.
Lane contracts updated to reflect graduation. CLAIMS.md Tier 4.5
rows for both lanes now CLOSED. docs/truth_seeking_schema.md
§Realizer-side surface gaps closed and rewritten.
Verified: smoke (67), cognition (121), runtime (19), teaching (17),
architectural invariants (40) — all green.
Categorizes every production vault.recall() callsite as RECOGNITION,
EVIDENCE_TELEMETRY, or EVIDENCE_USER_FACING. Adds INV-24 architectural
invariant (TestINV24VaultRecallRegistry, 3 tests) that forces any new
callsite to declare its role and requires EVIDENCE_USER_FACING sites to
pass min_status=COHERENT.
Audit findings:
- chat/runtime.py:330 → RECOGNITION (gate decision input)
- vault/decompose.py:121 → RECOGNITION (grade-decomposed gate fallback)
- generate/stream.py:147 → EVIDENCE_TELEMETRY (walk_surface per runtime contract)
- No EVIDENCE_USER_FACING sites exist today — user-facing surface comes from
pack-grounded realize(proposition, vocab), not vault.recall.
Why this closes Leak C: the write-side fix already stamps SPECULATIVE on
self-stored propositions; the read-side audit confirms no inference path
treats them as ratified evidence. If a future change routes the
generation walk into the user-facing surface, INV-24 forces the
recategorization to be explicit.
CLAIMS.md Tier 4.5 Leak C row now CLOSED. docs/truth_seeking_schema.md

Replace the bare S-P-O join from articulation.realize() with the
intent-differentiated surface from generate/intent_bridge.py when
the bridge can produce a grounded, non-pending result.
The ArticulationPlan dataclass, SentenceAssembler, turn_log, ChatResponse
and all trace fields remain structurally unchanged. Only .surface is
replaced. Falls back to the previous surface when the bridge returns "".
Keep the generic chat runtime neutral while base closure is being stabilized.
- replace PersonaMotor.from_identity_manifold(...) with PersonaMotor.identity() for the baseline ChatRuntime path
- leave identity/persona motivation for a later explicit IdentityProfile contract
- update the antipodal scalar transition test to match current closed-product semantics: B * reverse(A) yields closed transition -1
No GitHub CI/status checks were exposed for this PR.
Remove premature motivation/drive pressure from the generic chat runtime.
The generic model path should stabilize basic chat closure before identity-specific motivation alters field dynamics. The previous drive-bias hook directly mutated FieldState.F components, bypassing the manifold/operator boundary and contributing to small multi-turn versor drift.
This makes _apply_drive_bias() a documented no-op. Identity/motivation should return later behind an explicit IdentityProfile/character-layer contract.
No GitHub CI/status checks were exposed for this PR.
Adds referent tracking, session graph traversal, unknown-domain gating, correction propagation, compositional surface assembly, and regression coverage.
Follow-up fixes included before merge:
- split probe/commit/finalize turn flow so unknown-domain checks run before current-query vault writes
- record real input tokens and input versors for sync and async session paths
- return true graph distances from backward walks and consume them in correction decay
- synchronize corrected graph outputs into vault-backed recall and live referent state
- regenerate correction responses from corrected context rather than correction text
- keep coreference pronouns lowercase in question bodies
- centralize elaboration-string construction to avoid plan/surface drift
- add targeted dialogue fluency regression tests
