The ADR-0106 contract correctly refused promotion. ADR-0107 records the
deferral and reserves two follow-up ADRs:
- ADR-0109 (lane-shape-aware threshold amendment): ADR-0106 \xc2\xa71.2
prescribes cognition-pack-shape metrics uniformly, but math /
physics / systems / hebrew-greek lanes carry native shapes
(accuracy, passed_rate, all_pass_rate). Prerequisite for any future
expert-demo promotion.
- ADR-0110 (math re-attempt): conditional on ADR-0109 landing and
inference_closure substantively passing (currently all_pass_rate=0.4
on public).
tests/test_adr_0107_deferral.py pins adr_0107_no_silent_promotion: math
stays at reasoning-capable, has no expert_demo_claims entry, and the
ledger row carries a named refusal reason.
No change to core/capability/expert_demo.py or reporting.py -- the
contract is honored, not amended. README sequencing updated to reflect
ADR-0107 acceptance and the new ADR-0109/0110 prerequisites.
Closes ADR-0106 acceptance evidence:
- ExpertDemoClaim dataclass + additive expert_demo_claims block on
ReviewerRegistry (schema_version stays at 1; backward-compatible).
- New core/capability/expert_demo.py with derive_evidence_digest,
evaluate_expert_demo, collect_domain_lanes, materialise_lane_results.
- core/capability/reporting.py: replaces the cognition-lane-only
predicate (previous lines 418-433) with a domain-aware,
reviewer-signed gate; ledger rows now also carry
expert_demo_reason for operator legibility. Reviewer registry is
fail-closed: an unloadable registry yields zero claims, so a broken
registry never silently grants expert_demo=true.
- tests/test_expert_demo_contract.py covers all three ADR-0106
invariants: requires_signature, domain_aware, replay_byte_equality;
plus threshold + production-ledger-untouched gates. 12 new tests.
- tests/test_reviewer_registry.py extended with TestExpertDemoClaimsSchema
covering omitted block, valid parse, unknown signer rejection,
malformed digest rejection, duplicate domain rejection. 5 new tests.
- README index row + table preface updated to note expert_demo is
contract-gated. Frontier list trimmed (ADR-0106 has landed).
- ADR-0106 Status flipped Proposed -> Accepted.
No domain row's expert_demo field flips by this PR -- only the contract
changes. Promotion of any ratified domain requires a follow-up ADR
(ADR-0107 reserved for mathematics_logic) plus a signed claim.
- ADR-0108 Status: Proposed -> Accepted
- README index row updated to Accepted
- 'Current frontier' rewritten with the ranked Proposed-ADR list mandated
by ADR-0108 \xc2\xa7Decision; removes the now-false 'No ADR currently sits in
a "Proposed but unimplemented" state' sentence
- Open candidate directions (no-ADR-yet) section retained for the
multi-reviewer governance frontier item from ADR-0105
Makes the post-ADR-0105 sequencing of ADR-0080 / 0084 / 0087 / 0106
explicit, durable, and revisable. Status: Proposed. No content of the
four sequenced ADRs is modified — sequencing is meta, not content.
Defines a domain-aware, reviewer-signed expert_demo promotion gate to
replace the current cognition-lane-only predicate in
core/capability/reporting.py:418. Status: Proposed. This ADR does not
promote any domain — it defines the contract that a follow-up ADR (likely
mathematics_logic as ADR-0107) will consume as the first worked
promotion.
Sibling reconciliation PR to #104. The four ADRs explicitly called out as
the 'current implementation frontier' in PR #104 are already implemented
to the same evidence bar as the eight ADRs that PR accepted:
- ADR-0094: teaching/source.py + proposal schema widening + migration
script; tests/test_proposal_source.py green
- ADR-0095: teaching/from_miner.py + miner_loop_closure lane;
SHA-pinned in scripts/verify_lane_shas.py; tests/test_miner_proposals.py
green
- ADR-0098: core/demos/contract.py + adapter surface + demo_composition
lane; SHA-pinned; tests/test_demo_composition.py green
- ADR-0099: core/demos/showcase.py + public_demo lane;
SHA-pinned; tests/test_public_showcase.py green
Three of four lanes are SHA-pinned in CI (a stricter bar than several
already-accepted ADRs). Local pytest run: 85/85 passed across the four
tests/test_*.py files in 17s.
Also refreshes docs/decisions/README.md:
- flips the four table rows to Accepted (2026-05-22)
- rewrites the 'Current frontier' section now that no ADR-0091..0102
entry is unimplemented
- enumerates candidate next directions (curriculum proposals,
language-specific holdout splits, expert-demo ratification)
Docs-only change; no runtime code touched.
Closes the load-bearing gap blocking every reasoning-capable claim
under ADR-0091: docs/reviewers.yaml was previously `reviewers: []` and
unparsed. Now schema-validated at v1, with a bootstrap shay-j entry
self-sealed via provenance.
- new core.capability.reviewers module: frozen Reviewer/ReviewerRegistry
dataclasses, strict load_reviewer_registry parser, ReviewerRegistryError
- enforces ADR-0092 schema rules: schema_version==1, no unknown
top-level keys, no unknown reviewer fields, role∈{primary,domain},
primary must claim ["*"], domain must NOT claim "*", review_scope
subset of {pack,proposal,chain,eval}, no duplicate reviewer_ids
- can_review(reviewer_id, domain_id, scope) helper implements
ADR-0092 rules 2-4 for downstream use by ADR-0093 validator
- docs/reviewers.yaml updated to v1 schema with shay-j bootstrap
- ledger_report() evidence_counts now exposes structured
reviewer_registry status (valid, schema_version, reviewer_count,
reviewer_ids, error) alongside the legacy reviewers_present bool
- new evals/reviewer_registry/ lane: 6 cases (2 positive + 4 negative)
covering empty-registry, wrong-version, domain-wildcard rejection,
and unknown-field rejection
- runner emits deterministic JSON report; two runs produce byte-identical
output (sha256 verified)
- 26 unit tests in tests/test_reviewer_registry.py
- capability ledger test extended to assert new reviewer_registry block
- smoke suite green (67/67); lane passes 6/6
The pre-existing test_flag_report_tracks_default_off_flags failure is
unrelated (discourse_planner flag default) and not introduced here.
Eight load-bearing ADRs closing the loop from contemplation Phase 5 through
a public showcase demo. Each one is small and evidence-bearing; together
they sequence the next arc without duplicating existing substrate.
- 0092 Reviewer Registry v1 — populates docs/reviewers.yaml schema;
unblocks all reasoning-capable claims under ADR-0091.
- 0093 Domain Pack Contract v1 Implementation — wires ADR-0091's five
follow-up items (parser, dry-run validator, chain registry, eval lane
refs, reviewer resolution) so manifest fields actually gate status.
- 0094 Proposal Source Provenance — sealed ProposalSource type widening
proposal schemas ahead of 0095.
- 0095 Miner-Sourced Teaching Proposals — closes the contemplation
loop: articulation_quality / contradiction_detection / frontier_compare
miners emit PackMutationProposal candidates routed through the single
reviewed teaching path; identity-pack defense at construction, not
review; replay-equivalence pre-gate.
- 0096 Fabrication-Control Eval Lane — first negative-control measure;
three case classes (phantom endpoint, cross-pack non-bridge, sibling
collapse) with frozen thresholds (fabrication_rate ≤ 0.01).
- 0097 Mathematics-Logic Reasoning-Capable Ratification — first
domain claim under ADR-0091; chain corpus + eval lanes already
exist, this is the formal contract ratification.
- 0098 Demo Composition Contract — DemoCommand protocol so demos can
be composed without reimplementation; deterministic JSON, no global
state mutation, declared output paths only.
- 0099 Public Showcase Demo — composes four scenes (determinism /
honest unknown / reviewed learning / multi-hop+trace) under 30s;
pure composition enforced by grep gate; JSON byte-equality CI-pinned.
Landing order: 0092 → 0094 → 0095 → 0093 → 0096 → 0097 → 0098 → 0099.
Deliberately not included: curriculum compiler, formation course
runner, calculator operators, response-mode taxonomy expansion,
learning-scale 10k harness. Each is deferred with a documented reason.
Phase 5 landed in commit 327047c (articulation-quality miner +
runtime sink wiring + full end-to-end loop tests). Extending the
session note in-place per its own append-only convention so the
single document covers the complete arc Phases 1–5.
Sections updated
----------------
* §0 executive summary
- commit count: 9 → 11
- phases shipped: 4 → 5 (new Phase 5 row in the deliverables
table)

``attach_articulation_sink`` and
``mine_articulation_observations``
- test artifacts: 6 → 8 files, 64 → 82 cases
* §3.5 NEW — full architectural walkthrough of Phase 5
- Why the loop closes (links the user's
"memory confidence scoring" intuition to ADR-0080's
doctrine-aligned realisation: reviewable evidence, not
autonomous mutation)
- File-by-file delta (chat/articulation_telemetry.py + miner
+ runtime wiring)
- Three v1 mining rules (recurring_predicate_monotony /
recurring_planner_gap / low_average_predicate_diversity)

- Recorded demo output from the commit message
- Doctrine pin table mapping each constraint to its test
* §4 pipeline diagram extended to show Phase 5 sink + offline
miner branches
* §5 verification table gains four new rows for Phase 5 claims
(full-loop emission, byte-equal finding IDs across two e2e
runs, JSONL round-trip identity, opt-in gating)
* §5.6 suite totals updated:
- Contemplation subsuite: 35/35 → 53/53 (Phase 3+4+5)
- New row for Phase 5 articulation-quality e2e (7/7)
* §6 case study — added the "After Phase 5" trace and the
closing one-line story across all five phases for one prompt
("What is truth, and why does it matter?")
* §7 architecture surfaces table grows a row for
chat/articulation_telemetry.py and adds the miner to the
contemplation subsystem row
* §9 inverted from "what would close the loop" (future work) to
"SHIPPED — here's what it now unlocks":
- production sink + retention policy
- additional aggregation rules
- CLI hook
- review-loop wiring back into PackMutationProposal
* §10 reference index grows new lines for
chat/articulation_telemetry.py,
core/contemplation/miners/articulation_quality.py,
tests/test_articulation_quality_miner.py, and
tests/test_articulation_quality_e2e.py
* Footer updated: notes the arc is complete; future arcs should
start a new session-notes file and cross-link rather than
rewriting this one.
The session-notes file is now 1100+ lines — the complete frozen
reference for the articulation arc that took CORE from one-sentence
pack-grounded surfaces to a full live-reasoning + offline-mining
+ reviewable-proposals feedback loop, all doctrine-aligned, all in
one session.
Thorough why/when/where/how reference for the four-phase articulation
arc shipped this session plus the pre-arc classifier/Rust cleanup
that made it possible. Designed as the load-bearing entry point for
future contributors, case studies, capability audits, and
architectural reviews.
Sections
--------
0. Executive summary — what was achieved (9 commits, 64 new tests,
user-visible before/after, doctrine evidence)
1. Why this work happened (visible gap, doctrine constraint, what
was already wired vs. missing)
2. Pre-arc cleanup — RECALL trigger / CORRECTION x2 / Rust FFI
3. Phase 1 — discourse planner default ON + fast-path
Phase 2 — reflective rendering (subject pronominalization)
Phase 3 — live plan contemplation pre-flight
Phase 4 — per-plan articulation telemetry metrics
4. The pipeline today (diagram + before/after table)
5. Verification — every claim and the test that holds it.
Five sub-tables: doctrine claims, quality claims, back-compat /
null-lift claims, ADR-0072 structural invariants,
`core bench --suite all` performance, suite-level totals.
6. Case study — the compound prompt as a story across all four
phases
7. Architecture surfaces touched (which file got what change in
which phase)
8. What was deliberately NOT built (and why — connective rotation,
generalised pronoun selection, plan revision, Phase 2.5,
Rust algorithmic optimisation)
9. Phase 5 — what would close the user-intuited "live reasoning
→ memory confidence" loop, doctrine-aligned
10. Reference index — modules, flags, tests, ADR cross-refs
Per the user's request: captures the why/when/where/how thoroughly
so this work is recoverable for future reference, case studies, and
building on top. Append-only convention: future sessions extending
this arc should add new sections below rather than rewriting — the
history is itself evidence of the doctrine working in practice.
Brief 1 scopes the PR #97 follow-up: flip `definitional_layer` to false on
the three new domain seed packs (en_mathematics_logic_v1 / en_physics_v1 /
en_systems_software_v1) so the ADR-0084 closure verifier stops flagging
them as malformed. They're governed by ADR-0091 `domain_contract_version`,
which is a different layer; the integration test's allowlist already
excludes them, so the flag-flip aligns the script with the test's
clearly-intended scope.
Brief 2 scopes ADR-0073 L1.1 content phase II: extend the grc/he anchor-lens
substrate with 8 cross-language lemma pairs (νοῦς ↔ בינה / διάνοια /
καρδία ↔ לב / ψυχή ↔ נפש / ἔλεος / εἰρήνη / δικαιοσύνη / ἅγιος ↔ קדוש)
authored against the L1.1 file shapes, alignment edge weights, and
en-collapse annotation discipline. Anchor-lens-tour seam claims and
cognition-eval byte-identity under unanchored default remain the gates.
Both briefs are bounded to content authoring; neither touches code.
Closes audit Findings 6 (within-turn recall not batched) and 7
(probe-ingest / commit-ingest dual field) as a single PR — the two
are architecturally entangled and resolve together.
Pre-fix flow in ``ChatRuntime.chat()``:
1. ``probe_ingest(filtered)`` → ``probe_state.F``
2. Gate check on ``probe_state.F``
3. If gate fires: ``commit_ingest`` + stub response
4. Otherwise: ``commit_ingest`` + drive bias → ``field_state.F``
5. Walk runs on ``field_state.F``
The gate observes one manifold position; the walk navigates a
slightly different one (drive bias applied between them). Honest
refusal decisions and walk outputs are made on different fields —
the audit's named coherence gap.
This PR ships a flag-gated unified-ingest path following the
codebase's standard substantive-change pattern (ADR-0046 /
ADR-0062 / ADR-0085 / ADR-0088 / ADR-0089):
``RuntimeConfig.unified_ingest: bool = False`` (default).
When ``True``:
1. ``commit_ingest(filtered)`` runs first.
2. Drive bias applied immediately.
3. Gate observes ``committed.F``.
4. If gate fires: stub response (turn has already committed —
intentional semantic change documented in ADR-0090).
5. Otherwise: walk runs on the same ``committed.F`` the gate
decided against — no second ``commit_ingest`` call.
6. ``probe_ingest`` is not called on this path.
When ``False`` (default): historical behavior is preserved
bit-for-bit; ``probe_ingest`` still runs first.
ADR-0090 documents:
* Phase 1 (this PR): unified-ingest substrate.
* Phase 2 (separate PR, after Phase 1 validates): batched recall
— pass the gate's ``direct_hits`` into ``generate()`` as a
``prebuilt_first_recall`` so the walk's first step does not
re-call ``vault.recall()`` on the same field. Single recall
call eliminated per turn.
* Out of scope: ``recall_batch`` for per-step walk recalls
(each step's query depends on the previous step's field
state; not batchable without changing walk geometry).
Validation:
* 5 new tests in ``tests/test_unified_ingest_null_lift.py``:
- flag defaults to ``False`` on ``DEFAULT_CONFIG``
- flag-off surface + trace_hash + vault_hits byte-identical
- flag-on does not call ``probe_ingest`` (verified via spy)
- flag-on produces well-formed surface + trace_hash
- flag-off still calls ``probe_ingest`` (historical guard)
* ``core eval cognition`` byte-identical across all three splits:
public 100/100/91.7/100, dev 100/100/78.6/100, holdout
100/100/83.3/100.
* ``core test --suite cognition`` 120/0/1, ``smoke`` 67/0,
``runtime`` 19/0.
Comb-pass status after this PR:
* Item 4 (graph topo) ✓ #92
* Item 5 (realizer node_map) ✓ #91
* Item 6 (batch recall) ✓ ADR-0090 substrate (this PR); Phase 2
optimization is queued

Comprehensive survey of every pack in the tree across five layers
(primitives → language → teaching → policy → selection axes → style)
with per-pack stats, cross-pack lemma overlap, teaching-chain graph
topology, and a ranked top-leverage-gaps list.
Key findings:
* **Layer 4 (selection axes) is the densest by far** — 24 packs
(17 anchor lenses + 7 registers). Greek and Hebrew lens
families are at parity (8 each).
* **Layer 2 (teaching corpora) is the load-bearing thin layer** —
only 41 reviewed chains across 18 subjects, with just 2 intent
shapes covered (CAUSE / VERIFICATION) and 7 connectives total.
No COMPARISON / PROCEDURE / CORRECTION chains exist; those
intents route through pack composers only.
* **Layer 1 EN is solid** — 354 lemmas across 12 mounted packs
with 93% gloss coverage; 24 ungloss'd lemmas remain.
* **Cross-language is structurally present but content-light** —
grc / he micro-packs ship and mount; the bigger
``*_cognition_v1`` siblings ratify but are not in the default
mount; no glosses exist on any non-EN pack.
* **Three drafted ethics packs are unratified** (legal /
research / engineering) — the highest-leverage low-effort gap.
* **Rhetorical-style axis ships substrate only** — one
null-lift pack; ADR-0087 consumer phase pending.
Top-leverage gaps ordered by ratio of unblocked value to effort
are enumerated in §7 of the doc itself. No code lands here.
Two ADRs that unblock the remaining items from the 2026-05-20 audit
that could not ship as direct PRs.
ADR-0088 — Realizer-Grounded Authority (Finding 2 retry)
========================================================
The first-response audit remedy (wire ``ground_graph`` between
``runtime.chat`` and ``realize_semantic``) was empirically attempted
on ``fix/ground-graph-wiring`` and reverted: the grounded realizer's
template output (e.g. ``"Light is a visible medium that reveal
truth"``) is grammatically and stylistically weaker than the runtime
path's ADR-0085-polished pack-grounded surface, so the realizer wins
the surface resolver (PR #76) and the user-visible surface regresses
on 23 byte-identical tests + ``register_invariant_grounding``.
ADR-0088 reframes Finding 2 as a two-phase rollout:
* Phase A (no behavior change) — realizer fluency parity.
Templates consult the same gloss source ADR-0085 wired into the
CAUSE composer, emit 3sg verb agreement, and carry the same
pack-provenance tag the runtime path emits. Byte-identical
today because the realizer is still gated by
``_is_useful_surface``.
* Phase B (substantive) — ground the graph and let the realizer
compete. Surfaces change exactly once, with a per-case
re-baseline justified by a "fluency ≥ pre-fix runtime surface"
invariant.
The audit's final-draft remedy (hot-path short-circuit only) is
explicitly rejected — pure perf cleanup, no metric lift since
``core eval cognition`` is already at 100% groundedness.
ADR-0089 — Compound-Intent Pipeline Dispatch (Finding 4)
========================================================
``classify_compound_intent`` is implemented but never reaches
``CognitiveTurnPipeline.run()``. Compound inputs like *"What is X
and how does it relate to Y?"* silently drop the second clause.
Naive multi-node dispatch breaks every downstream stage:
PropositionGraph (one root), plan_articulation (single-root),
realize_semantic (one target), surface resolver (one surface per
turn), compute_trace_hash (one intent_tag + articulation_surface),
teaching loop (one correction-source proposal), register / anchor-
lens telemetry (one variant per turn).
ADR-0089 proposes a three-phase rollout:
* Phase C1 (no behavior change) — call ``classify_compound_intent``
in step 1b, record dropped clauses on
``CognitiveTurnResult.dropped_compound_clauses`` for
observability while routing the dominant clause through the
existing single-intent path.
* Phase C2 (opt-in substantive) — flag-gated multi-node graph
dispatch with new ``CompoundEdge`` / ``ConjunctionRelation``,
widened ``compute_trace_hash`` carrying a
``compound_clauses_hash``, and a ``multi_clause_surface`` field
on the resolver. Flag-off preserves byte-identity.
* Phase C3 — telemetry alignment + demo + docs.
Each phase is independently shippable and preserves the existing
null-lift / byte-identity invariants register and anchor-lens
established (ADR-0072, ADR-0073d) as the project's pattern for
substantive runtime behavior changes.
Both ADRs are Proposed; ratification follows the existing pack /
ADR review process. No code lands in this commit.
Follow-up brief for the cheaper dev agent. Scoped tight: ~18 concrete
row-by-row edits across two patterns the v1 pass (PR #73) deferred or
missed.
Pattern A — 3sg present-tense agreement after relative pronouns
what/who/that/which followed by a bare-form verb where the implied
subject is singular. 10 candidates identified up front by repo scan:
- en_core_causation_v1/effect (with judgment note)
- en_core_cognition_v1/beginning, creation, definition, evidence,
light, reason, symbol
- en_core_meta_v1/example, mind
Brief explicitly clarifies that bare verbs after modals (`can`,
`may`, `should`) are CORRECT and must NOT be changed — flagging
the "who can know and do" case the v1 agent did right.
Pattern B — plural agreement after quantifier / preposition
between/among/of/two/three/many + count-noun-in-singular. 5
confident edits + 3 borderline cases with judgment guidance:
- en_core_attitude_v1/broad
- en_core_cognition_v1/context, order, style
- en_core_spatial_v1/between
Borderline guidance distinguishes count vs mass nouns: `reason`
in "group of reason" is count (apply fix); `reason` in "because
of reason" is mass (leave alone).
Same hard rules as v1 brief:
- no code edits
- definitional_atoms / predicates_invited / pos / lemma /
definition_version must not change
- Greek/Hebrew packs and primitives pack untouched
- closure verifier must exit 0
- cognition eval must stay byte-identical
- draft PR, human review before merge
Estimated effort: ~18 one-character edits. Whole pass should take an
order of magnitude less time than v1 because the candidate rows are
enumerated in the brief itself rather than discovered via heuristic
scan.
Why a v2 brief rather than amending v1's PR:
Plural patterns were not on v1's explicit pattern list (the v1
brief only named verb agreement, missing articles, missing
infinitives, missing copulas). 3sg agreement was named but
required a different tool than the agent had at hand. Scoping
v2 to exactly the rows known to need fixing is cheaper than
re-running the v1 heuristic scan with an expanded ruleset.
Provenance tag for the v2 pass:
adr-0085-style-v2:reviewed:2026-05-22
Pre-work for a writing-curriculum extension to CORE. Two companion
documents, both Proposed status (no code shipped).
docs/decisions/ADR-0087-rhetorical-style-axis.md
Pins rhetorical style as a third selection axis — sibling to anchor
lens (ADR-0073), orthogonal to register (ADR-0070). Substantive
axis: trace_hash DISTINCT across styles (style changes which moves
the composer requires and which frames the realizer emits, which
changes the propositional plan, which changes the trace).
Four anti-patterns explicitly named and rejected:
- style as motor (re-couples realizer to geometry; same shape as
the ADR-0085 fusion-operator rejection)
- style as register variant (conflates substantive with stylistic)
- style as identity axis (bloats identity doctrine)
- style auto-detected from user input (operator-chosen only)
Pack shape mirrors packs/anchor_lens/. default_unstyled_v1 is the
null-lift pack identical to no-style behavior. Three CI invariants
proposed: rhetorical_style_null_lift, schema validation, three-axis
orthogonality.
Substrate-only ADR — no consumer code, no genre packs. Consumer
integration is a follow-up ADR (composer + realizer extensions
that read permitted_frames + required_moves_per_claim +
forbidden_moves).
docs/curriculum/writing-chain-harvester-spec.md
Layer 0 of the writing curriculum. A deterministic tool that
extracts candidate (subject, predicate, object) triples from
reviewed expert prose and surfaces them as proposals to the
existing teaching/review pipeline.
Five stages (segment → classify → extract → propose → audit) —
pure-Python rule-based, no LLM generation, no auto-acceptance.
Trust boundary: reviewer accept/reject via the existing
core teaching propose/review path. No bypass permitted.
The harvester is a proposal PRODUCER, not a proposal CONSUMER.
Plugs into the existing pipeline without inventing a new review
mechanism. Each proposal carries source_id + source_line + the
exact source_clause it came from for reviewer verification.
First-implementation acceptance criteria deliberately tight:
Stage 0+1 with dry-run only. Stages 2-5 are follow-up PRs.
Substrate-first sequencing pattern (ADR-0084 → 0085) reused
throughout. Both documents acknowledge open questions deferred to
implementation phase rather than pre-deciding.
Why now: a writing curriculum is being scoped. Without this ADR,
every downstream PR faces the same "should style be a motor?"
question and the temptation to reach for the geometry will recur
every time the realizer produces a stilted surface. Pinning the
axis up front prevents that recurrence.
Brief for a fluency pass on the 333 ratified gloss entries. Closes the
content-side counterpart of ADR-0085's surface lift:
Before "Light exists as visible medium that reveal truth."
After "Light exists as a visible medium that reveals truth."
Same gloss content, English-correct. Fixes 3sg agreement after
relative clauses, plural agreement after quantifiers, missing
articles before adjective-noun NOUN-frame glosses, and missing 'to'
in VERB-frame glosses.
Hard constraints encoded in the brief (matching the wrapper-prompt
pattern that worked for ADR-0084 content):
- code untouched: only language_packs/data/<pack>/glosses.jsonl edits
- definitional_atoms, predicates_invited, pos, lemma, definition_version
must NOT change
- closure verifier (scripts/verify_definitional_closure.py) must
still exit 0
- cognition eval must stay byte-identical to baseline
- Greek/Hebrew packs untouched (not in definitional layer per ADR-0084
scope limit)
- primitives pack untouched
- draft PR, human review before merge
Includes a Phase-1 inventory script the agent runs first to scope the
work (heuristic pattern matcher across the 13 opted-in packs),
worked-example fluency rules with before/after table, per-pack
checksum-refresh shell snippet, and Phase-4 verification commands.
Estimated effort: ~30-60 lines of JSONL edits. Same handoff format as
docs/handoff/ADR-0084-pack-content-brief.md.
The original "Why does light exist?" complaint that motivated ADR-0084
was specifically about CAUSE-intent surfaces. ADR-0084 (substrate) +
PR #65 (content) already moved DEFINITION/RECALL to gloss-grounded
surfaces ("Light is visible medium that reveal truth."). But CAUSE
still dispatched through the chain-walk path:
Before: light — teaching-grounded (cognition_chains_v1):
cognition.illumination; logos.core.
light reveals truth (cognition.truth).
No session evidence yet.
After: Light exists as visible medium that reveal truth.
pack-grounded (en_core_cognition_v1).
The chain-walk is structurally correct but the wrong SHAPE for a why-
question — it's a graph traversal, not an explanation. ADR-0085 fixes
the shape using the same gloss material that DEFINITION/RECALL already
consume, with no new content authoring.

VERB -> "To {lemma} is to {gloss}."
ADJ -> "To be {lemma} is to {gloss}."
* -> falls back to _frame_gloss (predicate-identity).
- Threads anchor lens via the existing helper (ADR-0073c parity).
- Returns None when no gloss exists — runtime falls through to the
existing chain-walk path. Additive: no CAUSE case loses its surface.
Runtime dispatch
chat/runtime.py — IntentTag.CAUSE tries gloss path FIRST under the
flag; falls through to teaching_grounded_surface* on None.
Unconditional fallback — never silent.
Opt-in flag
core/config.py — RuntimeConfig.gloss_aware_cause: bool = False
Default off preserves pre-ADR-0085 chain-walk surfaces byte-
identically (null-drop invariant, CI-pinned).
Prompt-diversity classifier update
evals/prompt_diversity/runner.py — _CAUSE_MARKERS widened with the
explanation-frame markers ("exists as", "is to", "to be", "is for",
"purpose of") plus bare-form predicates ("reveal" alongside
"reveals"). Neither composer path is penalised on shape_fit just on
inflection grounds.
v1/public lift (flag OFF vs ON, 26 cases)
intent_accuracy : 65.4% -> 65.4% ( — )
versor_closure_rate : 100.0% -> 100.0% ( — )
response_shape_fit : 57.7% -> 57.7% ( — , both frames recognized)
audit_in_surface_rate : 42.3% -> 42.3% ( — , envelope ADR's job)
gloss_quote_rate : 11.5% -> 23.1% (+11.5pp, structural lift)
Tests (15)
- 5 pure composer (NOUN/VERB frame, unknown/empty None, no chain-
walk artifacts in surface)
- 5 runtime dispatch (flag-off chain-walk, flag-on gloss, parametrized
across glossed subjects, VERIFICATION unchanged under flag, no-
gloss fallback engages)
- 5 cognition lane invariance (aggregate metrics byte-identical
under both flag states; surfaces deliberately shift on the 2 CAUSE
cases with glossed subjects — the structural-change-vs-metric-
invariance both-sides invariant)
Lanes
smoke 67/0, cognition 120/0/1 skipped, packs 6/0, teaching 17/0,
runtime 19/0. core eval cognition byte-identical 100/91.7/100/100
under both flag states.
Scope limits (per ADR §Scope limits)
- CAUSE only; VERIFICATION still chain-walks (different shape).
- English pilot only; Greek/Hebrew packs not opted into definitional
layer yet (ADR-0084 scope limit).
- Single-lemma subjects; compound/anaphoric fall through.
- Opt-in until cognition holdout confirms the lift transfers off-
fixture. Future PR flips default on.
Out of scope
- Surface-vs-envelope cleanup ("pack-grounded (...)" still leaks).
- Predicate licensing (ADR-0086).
- Content style pass (bare lemma forms in glosses — separate brief).
* docs(adr-0084): propose definitional layer + prompt-diversity suite
Three companion artifacts proposing the next substantive design step
after ADR-0083:
1. ADR-0084 (Proposed) — Definitional Layer for Lexicon Packs
Optional `definition` block on pack entries: gloss,
definitional_atoms, predicates_invited, definition_version,
provenance. Pack-level opt-in. Closure rule: every word in a
gloss must resolve to a same-pack lemma, another mounted pack's
lemma, or a primitive in a new `packs/primitives/` pack.
NO composer change in this ADR (sequenced for ADR-0085) —
ratify substrate before any consumer depends on it.
2. evals/prompt_diversity/ (Proposed) — companion eval lane
~50 cases across question-shape × sophistication × domain,
measuring three new metrics: response_shape_fit,
audit_in_surface_rate (quantifies the trust-boundary leak into
user surfaces), gloss_quote_rate (zero today; rises with future
gloss-aware composer). No v1 pass thresholds — the lane
establishes a baseline distribution so future work has
something to move. 26 seed cases authored covering all 21
categories.
3. docs/handoff/ADR-0084-pack-content-brief.md — paste-ready brief
for a cheaper/faster dev agent to produce the pack content in
parallel. Self-contained, 5 sequenced phases (primitives pack
→ extend 9 existing glosses → add to relations/anchors → write
closure verifier → run safety lanes), explicit don't-touch list
(no composer / runtime / algebra / Greek+Hebrew packs / schema
parser), no-LLM-glosses discipline, per-phase acceptance.
Discovery while drafting: 9 packs already carry glosses.jsonl
under language_packs/data/ with a flat schema (78 entries in
en_core_cognition_v1 alone). The brief reflects that — most
work is extending existing entries, not authoring from scratch.
Strategic context: ADR-0083 raised the *depth* ceiling on chain
composition; ADR-0084 raises the *fidelity* ceiling. The φ
separation probe (memory: phi-separation-falsified) established
that semantic capability lives in chain composition, not in φ
geometry, so deepening the composer's substrate is the natural
next step. ADR-0084 → 0085 (gloss-aware composer) → 0086
(predicate licensing at ratification) is the planned sequence.
* feat(adr-0084): substrate — schema parser, primitives loader, closure verifier
Substrate-only code-side for ADR-0084 (Definitional Layer for Lexicon Packs).
No composer touches the new fields yet; consumer integration is ADR-0085.
Schema (additive, default preserves byte-identity)
- LanguagePackManifest.definitional_layer: bool = False
- compiler loader propagates the flag from manifest.json
language_packs/definitions.py (new)
- GlossEntry dataclass: lemma, gloss, pos, definitional_atoms,
predicates_invited, definition_version, provenance_ids
- parse_gloss_entry(payload, *, strict) — strict mode enforces ADR-0084
§Schema validation row-by-row: required keys, typed lists, no
unknown keys, positive definition_version; lax mode preserves the
legacy two-field shape for back-compat
- load_pack_glosses(pack_id, *, strict) with cache + clear hook
- verify_definitional_closure(pack_id, *, mounted_pack_lemmas,
primitive_lemmas, strict) returning tuple[ClosureViolation, ...];
case-insensitive resolution; cycles permitted per ADR
packs/primitives/loader.py (new)
- Sister loader to packs/safety/ and packs/identity/
- PrimitivesPack frozen dataclass with .lemmas frozenset
- Gates: checksum match, kind=='primitives', definitional_layer:true,
never_auto_mutable:true, pack_id matches dir, primitive_count
cross-check, duplicate-lemma rejection, path-traversal rejection,
strict per-entry schema with allow-list
- DEFAULT_PRIMITIVES_PACK = 'en_semantic_primitives_v1'
tests/test_adr_0084_definitional_substrate.py
- 38 tests covering strict parser (each required key rejection, unknown
key rejection, empty predicates_invited allowed, empty
definitional_atoms rejected, invalid definition_version), lax
parser back-compat, load_pack_glosses (missing/strict raise/lax
skip/malformed JSON), closure verifier (same-pack/primitive/mounted/
unresolved/case-insensitive), primitives loader (every gate), and
a back-compat check that every shipped pack still ratifies with
definitional_layer=False
Lanes: smoke 67/0, cognition 120/0/1, teaching 17/0, runtime 19/0,
packs 6/0. Cognition eval byte-identical 100/91.7/100/100.
When the content PR lands (primitives.jsonl + extended glosses.jsonl
under ADR-0084-pack-content-brief.md), the gate catches any closure-rule
violation without further code change.
* feat(evals): prompt_diversity lane runner — measurement instrument for ADR-0084+
Implements the runner against the existing contract.md + 26-case v1
public split. Lane auto-discovered by evals.framework via the standard
contract + runner convention.
Runner (evals/prompt_diversity/runner.py)
- run_lane(cases, *, config, workers) -> LaneReport
- 5 metrics: intent_accuracy, versor_closure_rate (carried over from
cognition), plus the three new lane-specific metrics —
response_shape_fit, audit_in_surface_rate, gloss_quote_rate
- breakdown dict groups by (question_shape, sophistication, domain)
per contract §How to read the output
- mirrors evals.cognition.runner's parallel worker pattern
Per-shape classifier (deliberately substring/regex-simple at v1)
- predicate_identity, explanation, sequence, two_subject_contrast,
narrative, honest_disclosure
- Unknown shape => neutral pass (don't penalise new categories)
Audit-leak detector
- trust-boundary preamble markers (teaching-grounded (, pack-grounded
(, No session evidence yet.)
- dotted semantic-domain tag regex (cognition.illumination, etc.)
Gloss-quote detector
- resolves expected_terms via chat.pack_resolver.resolve_gloss
- 4-token contiguous-window match against surface (high-confidence
"gloss actually quoted", not "shared one common word")
Tests (tests/test_prompt_diversity_runner.py — 23)
- shape classifier parametrized over the six expected_shape values
- audit-leak detector parametrized over preamble + tag + clean cases
- end-to-end on v1 public:
* versor_closure_rate == 1.0 (only v1 pass threshold per contract)
* every metric in [0, 1]
* breakdown groups present with the four per-cell metrics
* diversity gate: >=5 question shapes, >=3 domains
(defends against future regressions that collapse the suite
back to a cognition-shaped fixture)
v1/public baseline (26 cases)
intent_accuracy : 65.4% (contract predicted 70-85%)
versor_closure_rate : 100.0% (only v1 pass threshold) PASS
response_shape_fit : 53.8% (contract predicted low)
audit_in_surface_rate: 42.3% (contract predicted ~100%)
gloss_quote_rate : 7.7% (contract predicted 0%)
Three baseline surprises worth noting in the report (NOT failures —
the v1 lane is explicitly there to establish the distribution):
- audit_in_surface_rate at 42% (not 100%) means the chain-walk leak
fires on ~11/26; the other 15 are honest-disclosure cases that
emit no audit envelope. Sharpens the future surface-vs-envelope
ADR's actual target: grounded surfaces specifically.
- response_shape_fit at 54% (not "low") — classifier likely has
false positives on the ", which " cause-marker. Worth tightening
once we have an ADR-0085 baseline to compare against.
- intent_accuracy at 65% (below predicted 70-85%) — classifier dips
harder on adversarial/cross-pack than expected. Real gap.
All five smoke/cognition/teaching/runtime/packs lanes still green;
core eval cognition byte-identical 100/91.7/100/100.
* feat(packs): ADR-0084 pack content (primitives + extend glosses + closure verifier) (#65)
* feat(packs): ADR-0084 pack content
* feat(packs): repair ADR-0084 definitional content
* test(adr-0084): adjust substrate manifest tests for post-#65 content reality
PR #65 flipped definitional_layer:true on 13 English packs (9 core +
4 relations + collapse-anchors). The substrate's previous test
test_existing_packs_unchanged asserted that en_core_cognition_v1 +
en_core_relations_v1 still had definitional_layer:False — which was
the right pre-content invariant but is wrong post-content.
Replace it with two complementary tests that hold against real content:
- test_non_opted_packs_default_false:
pins that packs that DIDN'T flip the flag (en_minimal_v1,
he_core_cognition_v1, grc_logos_cognition_v1) still surface
definitional_layer=False through the loader. Defends against
a future change accidentally flipping the flag on a non-opted
pack.
- test_opted_packs_carry_flag:
pins that packs that DID flip the flag (en_core_cognition_v1,
en_core_relations_v1) surface definitional_layer=True through
the loader. Proves the substrate's manifest-field propagation
works against real ratified content, not just fixture packs.
Net: +1 test, same intent (substrate ratifies the manifest field
correctly), now with real-content coverage on both sides of the gate.
All 62 ADR-0084 substrate + prompt-diversity tests pass.
Strict superset of ADR-0062's depth-1 composer. `max_depth` is the
number of follow-up hops appended beyond the initial chain:
max_depth=0 → byte-identical to single-chain surface
max_depth=1 → byte-identical to ADR-0062 composed
max_depth=2 → byte-identical to ADR-0062 when no second hop
survives, strict superset when one does
The composer surfaces content the realizer was silently dropping
from chains already ratified in `cognition_chains_v1`. Example
live lift on `"Why does light exist?"`:
composed: "light reveals truth, which grounds knowledge."
transitive(2): "...which grounds knowledge, which requires evidence."
Cycle-safe at every depth via a single visited-set; single-corpus
traversal in v1 (cross-corpus transitive deferred to a follow-up
ADR alongside ADR-0064's cross-pack model).
Both flags default False — every existing surface is preserved
byte-identically. When both `composed_surface` and
`transitive_surface` are True, transitive wins.
Implementation:
- `core/config.py`: `transitive_surface: bool = False`,
`transitive_max_depth: int = 2`.
- `chat/teaching_grounding.py`: `_resolve_followup` shared helper
refactored out of the depth-1 composer (no behavioural change),
plus new `teaching_grounded_surface_transitive(subject,
intent_tag, *, max_depth)`.
- `chat/runtime.py`: dispatch order — transitive > composed > single.
Verification:
- tests/test_transitive_surface.py: 16 new tests covering pure-fn
contract, visited-set cycle guard at every depth, runtime
integration, and the cognition-lane null-drop invariant at
`max_depth=2` (public + holdout splits).
- tests/test_composed_surface.py: 11/11 pass after the helper
refactor (ADR-0062 behaviour preserved).
- `core test --suite smoke`: 67 pass.
- `core test --suite cognition`: 120 pass, 1 skipped.
- `core test --suite teaching`: 17 pass.
- `core eval cognition`: 100 / 91.7 / 100 / 100 (byte-identical).
* chore(evals, cli): contract standardization + bench --json stdout cleanliness
End-of-session shippability pass. Three concrete fixes:
1. core/cli.py — bench --json no longer pollutes stdout
Several bench paths call scripts.run_pulse.run_pulse which prints
verbose [pulse] traces unconditionally to stdout, breaking jq /
programmatic consumers of --json output.
New _bench_stdout_guard() redirects stdout → stderr for the
duration of the bench run when --json is set. Operator still sees
the pulse trace (on stderr), but --json consumers get a clean JSON
document on stdout. Applied to all four bench paths: cost,
articulation, default suite, and --suite all.
Verified: core bench --suite determinism --json now produces
parseable JSON; human path still shows 1140 [pulse] lines.
2. evals/{frontier_compare,realizer_guard}/contract.md (new)
core/contemplation/contract.md (new)
Each new contract follows the established pattern (37 contracts
already exist under evals/<lane>/contract.md):
- What it measures
- Why it matters (structural win)
- How to run
- How to read the output
- Pass criteria table
- When it has failed and why
- Runner / module layout
Coverage:
- frontier_compare: both Lane A (CORE-only suites) and Lane B
(cross-provider prompt_battery) with explicit guardrails
against mixing — operator asks for the wrong lane combination,
runner exits 2 with helpful error.
- realizer_guard: C1/C2 articulation safety boundary — synthetic
illegal candidates rejected directly by check_surface AND
former-bug runtime prompts now produce legal articulations.
- contemplation (ADR-0080): not under evals/ since it's runtime
infrastructure that consumes eval reports — contract lives at
core/contemplation/contract.md. Documents the read-only +
SPECULATIVE-only + deterministic-replay invariants and the
shared DiscoveryCandidateSink plumbing convergence (ADR-0080).
3. evals/CLAIMS.md — Tier 2 rows added
- frontier_compare Lane A: determinism.primary_score, max_versor_condition
- frontier_compare Lane B: prompt_battery.primary_score (CORE adapter),
cross-provider artifact persistence
- realizer_guard: all_claims_supported
- contemplation: SPECULATIVE-only invariant, deterministic replay,
additive sink path, no pack mutation (all CI-pinned by tests)

* feat(evals/ui): report viewer renders Lane B cross-provider + pass-rate chart
Stop-hook caught that #62 only covered contracts — the 929-line
report_viewer.html was never audited against the new cross-provider
report shape from #61. Two real gaps:
1. Lane-aware observation drawer
The drawer hardcoded Lane A (CORE-native) fields: surface,
grounding_source, anchor_lens_mode_label, versor_condition.
Lane B (cross-provider) observations carry different fields:
provider, model, elapsed_ms, error_type, error_message.
Loading a cross-provider report rendered only the surface row
with empty `grounding` — the provider + model + timing data
was unreachable without expanding "Show raw JSON".
Fix: detect Lane B (presence of `obs.provider`) and render the
appropriate field set. Lane A still renders identically (now
also surfaces trace_hash + register_id when present, which were
silently buried in the raw JSON before).
2. Pass-rate chart per suite
The summary strip showed one aggregate Primary % across all
suites, with no way to see WHICH suite is dragging the score.
Multi-suite runs (e.g. --suite all) had to expand each panel
individually to find the failing one.
Fix: new .passrate-chart element below the summary strip,
one horizontal bar per suite showing passed/total. All-pass =
solid green, all-fail = solid red, partial = green/red split
at the pass fraction. CSS only — no new dependencies.
3. SUITE_PREAMBLES gains the prompt_battery entry so the sidebar
shows the "side-by-side surface evidence across providers"
description when loading a Lane B report.
Verified
--------
- Brace/paren/div balance unchanged (308/308 / 380/380 / 54/54)
- One <script> tag pair preserved
- Generated a real Lane B report via
`python -m evals.frontier_compare --provider core --suite prompt_battery`
for visual confirmation
Out of scope (noted for future PR)
----------------------------------
Sampled 3 `core demo` targets:
- register-tour: clean schema (all_claims_supported, claims, grid)
- audit-tour: both scene_1_* keys AND an empty scenes:[] array — inconsistent
- anti-regression: no all_claims_supported key, uses all_gates_held instead
Demo schema standardization deserves its own PR — operator tooling
would benefit from a uniform top-level success field across demos.
* docs(evals) + chore(demos): systematic audit + uniform success field
Stop-hook caught two real gaps after the contract+UI PR:
- demos had divergent success-field names (all_gates_held vs
learning_loop_closed vs claim_supported vs nested claims_supported)
- no systematic look at the 48 eval directories had been done
Both addressed concretely; remaining work captured in audit doc
rather than vaguely deferred.
1. Demo schema standardization — uniform all_claims_supported field
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All 9 ``core demo`` targets now emit a top-level
``all_claims_supported: bool`` field. Existing per-demo fields
(``all_gates_held``, ``learning_loop_closed``, ``claim_supported``,
nested ``claims_supported``) are preserved for backwards compat —
the new field is an alias derived from the demo's existing success
signal, not a replacement.
Operator tooling and the CI gate can now target
``all_claims_supported`` without knowing each demo's idiomatic
field name.
Files touched:
- evals/anti_regression/run_demo.py — adds AND of all_gates_held +
active_corpus_byte_identical
- evals/learning_loop/run_demo.py — adds AND of learning_loop_closed +
active_corpus_byte_identical
- scripts/publish_pack_measurements.py — adds AND of the three
entries in the nested claims_supported dict
- evals/long_context_cost/comparison_runner.py — adds alias for
claim_supported (singular)
The 5 demos already using ``all_claims_supported`` (audit-tour,
register-tour, anchor-lens-tour, orthogonality-tour, articulation)
are unchanged.
Verified across all 9 demos:
audit-tour : True
register-tour : True
anchor-lens-tour : True
orthogonality-tour : True
pack-measurements : True ← new alias
anti-regression : True ← new alias
learning-loop : True ← new alias
articulation : True
long-context-comparison : True ← new alias
2. docs/EVAL_AUDIT_2026-05-20.md — systematic 48-lane audit
------------------------------------------------------------
Replaces the "future PR" deferral with a concrete document.
Contains:
- Method (what was inspected for each lane).
- Summary (40/48 have contract.md; 18/48 have saved results;
empty results/ ≠ broken — most lanes regenerate on demand).
- Cross-provider relevance triage:
* 9 lanes are cross-provider-relevant and could benefit
from the prompt_battery-style adapter pattern (cognition,
english_fluency_ood, hebrew_fluency, koine_greek_fluency,
grammatical_coverage, inference_closure, multi_step_reasoning,
discourse_paragraph, foundational_*_ood, etc.).
* 29 lanes are CORE-only by design (versor closure, anchor
lens, identity divergence, provenance, etc.) — wiring
providers would be category-erroneous.
- Demo schema standardization status (this PR closes that).
- UI/UX coverage matrix.
- 5 concrete follow-up items, each focused enough for a single
PR, none requiring architectural change.
Regenerated reports
-------------------
evals/long_context_cost/results/comparison_v1.json and
evals/results/phase2_pack_measurements.json now contain the new
all_claims_supported field (auto-regenerated when validating the
schema change).
evals/frontier_compare/results/sample_core_promptbattery.json
added as a reference Lane B report so the new viewer always has
something to load on first open.
Resolves a same-day numbering collision: the prior session produced
ADR-0080 + ADR-0081 (geometric stress field, falsified) in
docs/decisions/ while the frontier-provider-adapters work was
authored as ADR-0081 in a newly-created docs/adr/ directory,
unaware of the concurrent track.
This commit takes the minimum-blast-radius fix:
- docs/adr/ADR-0081-...md → docs/adr/ADR-0082-...md
- Update title header to ADR-0082, add "Renumbered from" breadcrumb
- Update the two source-file docstrings that cite the ADR number
(providers.py, model_registry.py)
The "two ADR directories" question (docs/adr/ vs docs/decisions/)
is NOT resolved here — docs/adr/ now has exactly one entry, while
docs/decisions/ is the canonical location per CLAUDE.md. A future
PR should either consolidate or document the split; this commit
just unblocks the immediate naming collision.
Out of scope:
- Consolidating directories
- Renumbering anything in docs/decisions/
- Re-numbering on the dev's local main (already pulled into this branch)
Wires observational telemetry on the composer-vs-graph atom-set
relationship. Phase 1 is strictly observational: no enforcement,
no surface mutation, no grounding-source change, no trace-hash impact.
New telemetry fields on TurnEvent + ChatResponse:
composer_graph_atom_status ∈ {equivalent, divergent,
graph_unconstrained,
composer_no_atoms,
not_applicable, ""}
composer_atom_set_hash SHA-256 over sorted unique atoms
graph_atom_set_hash SHA-256 over sorted unique atoms
composer_graph_atom_overlap_count int
Composer atoms come from existing pack candidate metadata
(pack_semantic_domains channel through _maybe_pack_grounded_surface).
Graph atoms come from build_graph_from_input + resolve_lemma on
node.subject/predicate/obj — no prose parsing. When a grounded
composer path lacks explicit atom provenance, status is
'composer_no_atoms'.
New pure helper:
chat/atom_equivalence.py — normalize_atoms, hash_atoms,
atoms_for_graph_nodes, compare_atom_sets
Tests (tests/test_composer_graph_atom_equivalence.py):
- Pack DEFINITION path produces observable equivalence
- Divergent atom sets produce distinct hashes
- Register invariance: atom hashes + status identical across
{neutral, terse, convivial}; trace_hash also constant (R5 axis)
- Anchor lens engaged case still ASCII-only on surface
- No prose-parsing helper symbols introduced in runtime.py
(extract_candidate_surface_lemmas, surface_lemma,
parse_surface_atoms) — enforces Phase 1 boundary
Performance note: build_graph_from_input now runs on every warm
English turn (previously only when forward_graph_constraint=True).
Phase 1 accepts this cost to make the telemetry universally
available; Phase 2+ can introduce a feature flag if needed.
Validation:
- Cognition eval byte-identical: 100/100/91.7/100
- Full lane: 2864 passed, 3 skipped, 0 failed (+5 over baseline)
- Targeted lane: 72 passed in tests/test_{graph_constraint,

composer_graph_atom_equivalence}.py
R5 (ADR-0072) shipped the register *machinery*; ADR-0074's orthogonality
tour proved the axis was decoratively orthogonal to anchor-lens but
inspection of the cognition-eval surfaces revealed two structural gaps:
* On pack-grounded DEFINITION/RECALL/COMPARISON composers, the only
realizer override any register consumed was `disclosure_domain_count`
— which only fires on the no-gloss disclosure path. Under terse_v1,
every gloss-DEFINITION cell was byte-identical to default_neutral_v1.
* The register-tour's `surfaces_vary_at_least_once` gate could be
satisfied by convivial's decorative wrapper alone, masking that
regression in CI.
R6 closes both:
Layering separation (the load-bearing fix):
* New TurnEvent/ChatResponse field `register_canonical_surface` carries
the composer output BEFORE any register transformation. The pipeline
hashes this field for `trace_hash`, preserving R5's invariant that
per-prompt trace_hash is CONSTANT across registers even while
substantive transforms produce visibly different surfaces.
Substantive transforms (`chat/register_substantive.py`):
* terse_v1 gains 3 bool knobs: `drop_provenance_tag`, `compress_gloss`,
`drop_articles` — all pure regex transforms on the canonical surface.
* convivial_v1 gains `append_semantic_domain_clause` — appends a single
bounded "Related: <atom>." clause using the lemma's pack atoms.
* default_neutral_v1 leaves overrides empty; substantive transform is
byte-identical no-op (preserves `byte_identity_null_lift`).
* C1 (ADR-0075) safety preserved: drop_articles refuses to drop
articles following `not` (avoids R3 violations); no knob combination
trips R2/R3.
Strengthened tour gate (`evals/register_tour/run_tour.py`):
* Replaces `surfaces_vary_at_least_once` with two falsifiable claims:
- `terse_substantively_differs_from_neutral_on_pack_grounded_definition`
- `convivial_substantively_differs_from_neutral_on_pack_grounded_definition`
Both restrict to DEFINITION+pack-grounded cells and require
difference beyond whitespace/punctuation.
* New claim `register_canonical_surfaces_identical` directly proves
the layering separation.
* Preserves R5's `all_grounding_sources_identical` +
`all_trace_hashes_identical`.
Pack ratification:
* Loader widened to accept `bool` for closed-set R6 keys
(drop_provenance_tag / compress_gloss / drop_articles /
append_semantic_domain_clause).
* `_KNOWN_OVERRIDE_KEYS` ratify gate extended with same.
* terse_v1 + convivial_v1 reratified with new knobs; companion
mastery reports re-sealed. default_neutral_v1 unchanged.
Invariants pinned:
* `invariant_register_canonical_surface_constant_across_registers` (new)
* `invariant_terse_substantively_distinct_from_neutral` (new)
* `invariant_convivial_substantively_distinct_from_neutral` (new)
* `invariant_realizer_no_illegal_articulation` (C1, preserved)
* `invariant_realizer_guard_byte_identity_on_currently_passing_cases`
(C1, preserved)
Verification:
* `core eval cognition`: 100.0% / 91.7% / 100.0% / 100.0% — byte-
identical under default_neutral_v1.
* `core demo register-tour`: all 5 claims green, exit 0.
* `core demo anchor-lens-tour`: green (no anchor-lens code touched).
* `core demo orthogonality-tour`: green (5/5 claims).

C1 coherence floor: a deterministic verifier that runs on every
candidate surface produced by the truth path, before assignment to
ChatResponse.surface. Rejects illegal articulations and routes them
to a bounded disclosure string — admission control with a
deterministic fallback, not normalization.
Active rules (R1 deferred during ratification — see ADR):
R2_aux_neg_requires_verb — "<aux> not <wrong-POS>" rejected
R3_be_neg_requires_predicate — "<be> not <verb>" rejected
Fail-open on unknown POS, fail-closed on explicit wrong POS.
Cognition eval byte-identical (100/91.7/100/100).
Original bug class — "Light reveals truth, right?" → "Right does not
thought." — now routes to "I do not have a reviewed articulation for
that yet." with grounding_source=none, walk_surface preserving the
rejected candidate, and telemetry carrying R2_aux_neg_requires_verb.

A single demo that walks the full 3 × 3 × 2 matrix (register × lens
× prompts, 18 cells) and pins five claims simultaneously, packaging
both single-axis invariants into one composition gate.
The single-axis tours assert opposite invariants:
register-tour : per (lens, prompt), trace_hash CONSTANT across
registers (R5 / ADR-0072).
anchor-lens-tour : per (register, prompt), engaged lens diverges
in trace_hash from the unanchored baseline
(L1.4 / ADR-0073d).
Orthogonality-tour packages both claims simultaneously across the
full matrix, plus three surface-level claims that pin the markers
operators actually see.
Composed claims (all five must hold)
A) inner_register_invariant_within_lens
For each (lens, prompt) cell, the three register runs share an
identical trace_hash. (R5 register-tour, applied 6 times:
3 lenses × 2 prompts.)
B) outer_lens_distinctness_within_register
For each (register, prompt) cell where any non-unanchored lens
engages, that engaged lens's trace_hash differs from the
unanchored baseline at the same (register, prompt).
(L1.4 anchor-lens-tour, applied 6 times: 3 registers × 2 prompts.)
C) surface_carries_register_marker_under_convivial
Every convivial cell with a non-empty surface has a non-empty
register_variant_id.
D) surface_carries_lens_annotation_when_engaged
Every engaged cell carries [lens(<id>):<mode>] in surface AND
a non-empty anchor_lens_mode_label.
E) no_substrate_glyph_leak_across_grid
No cell's surface contains Greek/Hebrew/Syriac/Arabic glyphs.
(ADR-0073c gate re-asserted across the full matrix.)

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.

Umbrella ADR-0073 ratified (Accepted); L1.1 content phase
(ADR-0073a) landed. Pure pack enrichment — no runtime code, no
composer change, no test of behaviour. Substrate prerequisite for
the L1.2–L1.4 phases.
Greek additions (grc_logos_cognition_v1, 20 → 29 entries)
Knowledge family (English collapses to `knowledge`):
- ἐπιστήμη logos.episteme.systematic_knowledge
- σύνεσις logos.synesis.insight
(γνῶσις at grc-core-cog-007 unchanged — treated as the
experiential variant by the L1.3 lens config)
Love family (English collapses to `love`):
- ἀγάπη logos.agape.covenant_love
- φιλία logos.philia.companion_love
- ἔρως logos.eros.passionate_love
- στοργή logos.storge.familial_love
Time family (English collapses to `time`):
- αἰών logos.aion.age_era
- χρόνος logos.chronos.clock_time
- καιρός logos.kairos.opportune_moment
Hebrew additions (he_core_cognition_v1, 20 → 23 entries)
- חסד logos.chesed.covenant_loyalty
- שלום logos.shalom.wholeness_peace
- צδק logos.tzedek.right_order
Alignment.jsonl on both cognition-tier packs (previously only the
micro packs carried alignment)
- grc_logos_cognition_v1/alignment.jsonl — 20 edges: three-way core
dyads (word / truth / light / life / beginning / wisdom),
knowledge-family → en collapse, ἀγάπη↔חסד covenant-love pairing
(weight 0.86, Septuagintal), `cross_lang.no_english_collapse`
annotations for love + time families pointing at
`en-collapse-<family>` sentinel ids (weight 0.0).
- he_core_cognition_v1/alignment.jsonl — 7 edges: core dyads to en,
חסד↔ἀγάπη covenant pairing, no-english-collapse annotations for
חסד / שלום / צδק.

Design decisions
- Existing 20 + 20 lemma atoms untouched — downstream tests /
composers / teaching chains keep referencing the same atoms.
Only new lemmas carry the distinguishing atoms.
- `cross_lang.no_english_collapse` edges are metadata not data
(sentinel target ids, weight 0.0). Their purpose is letting the
alignment graph answer "does English split this family?" without
forcing an artificial English lemma.
- Every new entry carries `adr-0073a:hand_authored:2026-05-19` in
its `provenance_ids` so future audits can find the L1.1 cohort
deterministically.
Verification
- python -m language_packs verify grc_logos_cognition_v1 → OK
- python -m language_packs verify he_core_cognition_v1 → OK
- python -m language_packs compile <both> → 29 / 23
manifold points; spot-check confirms καιρός / צδק resolve.
- python -m core.cli eval cognition → public
100 / 100 / 91.7 / 100 byte-identical (new lemmas sit on disk but
no composer references them yet).
- python -m core.cli test --suite cognition → 120/1 pass
- python -m core.cli test --suite smoke → 67/0 pass
- python -m core.cli test --suite full → 2632 passed
/ 4 skipped / 1 pre-existing failure (test_all_preamble_explains_
combined_run rename drift, unrelated).
- core demo register-tour → exit 0
(R5 seam still holds; L1.1 doesn't touch register pathway).
What L1.1 deliberately does NOT do
- No AnchorLens class (that's L1.2 / ADR-0073b).
- No composer wiring (L1.3 / ADR-0073c).
- No --anchor-lens CLI flag or demo (L1.4 / ADR-0073d).
- No teaching corpus in non-English (post-L1).
Umbrella ADR for the substantive-variation axis that composes
orthogonally against register (ADR-0068..0072). Drafted only;
status Proposed. No code, no pack, no test landed.
Architecture summary
- Anchor lens is the substantive axis: register varies surface text
while keeping grounding_source / trace_hash byte-identical;
anchor lens deliberately moves both because the proposition
itself changes when the substrate changes.
- Pivot is shared `semantic_domains` atoms (already on disk across
grc / he / en cognition packs), not transliteration tables — the
seam stays language-neutral so future substrates compose without
touching anchor-lens code.
- English compound phrasing only at the surface ("knowing-as-
experience", "knowing-as-system"); Greek / Hebrew glyphs live in
audit / provenance fields only. L1.3 invariant
`anchor_lens_no_glyph_leak` is a hard gate.
Four-phase rollout (mirrors R1–R5 cadence)
L1.1 content phase — distinction-bearing lemma additions
(ἐπιστήμη / σύνεσις / ἀγάπη-φιλία-ἔρως-στοργή / αἰών-χρόνος-
καιρός; חסד / שלום / צδק) + alignment.jsonl on the cognition-
tier packs. No code. Prerequisite for every later phase.
L1.2 AnchorLens pack class + loader + `default_unanchored_v1`
sentinel. Null-lift CI invariant pinned.
L1.3 First non-trivial lenses (`grc_logos_v1`, `he_logos_v1`)
wired into chat/pack_grounding.py composers. Proposition-
lift invariant + glyph-leak gate pinned.
L1.4 Telemetry (TurnEvent + ChatResponse gain anchor_lens_id),
`core chat --anchor-lens` flag, `core demo anchor-lens-tour`
asserting trace_hashes_distinct_across_lenses (opposite of
register-tour's claim — both must hold).
Three honest gaps blocking L1.2+
- Distinction-bearing lemmas absent from cognition packs.
- No reviewed teaching corpus for non-English (cognition_chains,
relations_chains, cross_pack_chains all en-only).
- No realizer infrastructure for cross-lingual surface composition.
L1.1 (pure content) closes all three for the cognition tier.
Orthogonality claim — load-bearing
register-tour : per prompt, fix lens, vary register → trace_hash CONSTANT
anchor-lens-tour : per prompt, fix register, vary lens → trace_hash DISTINCT
Both must continue to hold; failure of either breaks the seam.
