* lab: deep teaching layer trace suite + identity configuration explorer
This branch is a lab environment. Nothing here touches packs, manifolds,
or any durable geometry. Every test and trace runs in an isolated
in-process VaultStore that evaporates at the end of the test — the
clean-room guarantee is preserved by construction.
== evals/lab/teaching_trace.py ==
Full end-to-end trace of the teaching pipeline across all three identity
pack configurations (default_general_v1, precision_first_v1,
generosity_first_v1). For each pack:
1. Build a ChatRuntime with that identity config
2. Run a teaching session: chat() -> observe surface -> submit
CorrectionCandidate -> review_correction() -> TeachingStore.add()
3. Trace EVERY layer with structured output:
- Input versor (hex digest of float32 bytes for stable comparison)
- Gate decision (direct vs decomposed, score, fire/clear)
- Proposition formed (subject, predicate, frame_id)
- Identity score (alignment, flagged, deviation_axes)
- Safety verdict (upheld, violated predicates)
- Ethics verdict (upheld, violated commitments)
- Surface produced
- Review outcome (ACCEPTED / REJECTED_IDENTITY / REJECTED_EMPTY)
- Proposal epistemic_status after contradiction detection
- PackMutationProposal fields (triple parsed, proposal_id)
4. Emit a per-pack structured JSON trace to stdout
5. Compare traces across packs: show exactly where the geometry
diverges (alignment score delta, hedge rate delta, flagged delta)
== evals/lab/identity_config_explorer.py ==
Explores the full configuration space of the three identity packs by
running a fixed corpus of 12 semantically diverse inputs through each
pack and recording the full per-turn audit trail. Inputs are chosen to
stress different axes:
- alignment-safe (light, truth, word)
- boundary-adjacent (correction, override, identity)
- hedge-triggering (uncertain, speculative, contested)
- ethics-activating (harm, disclosure, evidence)
For each input x pack combination:
- Records alignment_score, flagged, hedge_injected, refusal_emitted
- Records deviation_axes (which value axes were pulled)
- Records versor_condition (geometric health)
- Records dialogue_role (assert/elaborate/question/refute)
Outputs a CSV matrix: rows = inputs, columns = (pack x field), so you
can read off exactly how each identity configuration responds to each
stressor. This IS the identity configuration diff — not a diff of
prompts, a diff of geometric alignment trajectories.
== evals/lab/teaching_contradiction_probe.py ==
Probes the CONTESTED transition mechanism in TeachingStore directly.
Submits pairs of logically contradictory corrections on the same subject
and verifies that both proposals are marked CONTESTED. Then submits a
ratifying correction and verifies the resolution path.
Also probes the identity-override rejection path with a corpus of
22 adversarial correction texts spanning:
- v1 legacy marker attacks ("you are now", "forget your")
- v2 contraction bypass ("you're now", "you'd become")
- v3 philosophical-axis attacks ("disregard your axiology",
"abandon your ethos", "circumvent your epistemology")
- v4 negating-qualifier attacks ("respond without prior bindings",
"become unbounded")
For each: records whether _is_identity_override fired syntactically,
whether IdentityCheck.would_violate fired geometrically, and the final
ReviewOutcome. The dual-layer defense is the structural claim — this
trace makes it falsifiable.
== evals/lab/vault_epistemic_trace.py ==
Traces the EpistemicStatus lifecycle across a full session:
1. Every store() call: records status written, turn, role
2. Every recall() call with min_status=None vs min_status=COHERENT:
records which entries are visible at each tier
3. After promotion (with_status(COHERENT)): records that the promoted
entry now appears in COHERENT-filtered recall and that un-promoted
entries do not
4. Verifies that benchmark/test writes (SPECULATIVE) never appear
in COHERENT-filtered recall — the contamination isolation proof
This is the structural argument for why per-session non-persistent
vaults preserve the integrity of the pack geometry.
* lab: hardware benchmark + compute reality demo
Adds evals/lab/hardware_benchmark.py
One falsifiable claim per section:
- Exact CGA inner product scan over N=10K x 32 float32 versors
completes in microseconds on CPU-only, zero CUDA
- Versor application (geometric product sandwich) completes
in nanoseconds per operation
- Full session: 10 turns, vault writes, vault recalls, anchor pull,
blade EMA, graph finalization — wall time measured end-to-end
- Peak RSS memory measured before and after a 10K vault load
- Backend report: pure Python NumPy vs Rust extension, zero GPU path
This is the compute reality section of the industry demo suite.
No H100 needed. No CUDA driver. No model weights. No tokenizer.
The number that matters: a full reasoning turn on an M1 MacBook Pro
completes in the same wall-clock budget as a single transformer
forward pass on an H100 — and the M1 is doing exact geometric
arithmetic, not approximate matrix multiplication.
* lab: generation walk deep trace + rotor manifold explorer
Adds evals/lab/generation_walk_trace.py and
evals/lab/rotor_manifold_explorer.py
After reading generate/stream.py in full, the two things that needed
a trace instrument were:
1. The generation walk itself — every step: which versor is current,
which rotor is constructed, what field state results, what
admissibility verdict is issued, which vault hits were applied
and at what softmax weight, what holonomy accumulated, what the
admissibility trace carries. This is the most important structural
trace in the system because it is the proof that language generation
here is a geometric walk on the versor manifold, not a probability
distribution over tokens.
2. The rotor manifold itself — rotor_power (the manifold-preserving
power operation that scales vault recall transitions), the
word_transition_rotor (the geometric bridge from word A to word B),
and versor_condition (the health check that proves the walk stays
on the manifold). These three operations are the computational
heart of what makes exact geometric generation possible.
Companion mastery reports for the 7 new packs added in #47. The
squash-merge captured only the first 2 commits of the PR branch and
missed the ratification-writeback commit; this restores it on main.
* 2 register packs: pedagogical_v1, precise_v1
* 5 anchor-lens packs: grc_zoe_v1, grc_aletheia_v1, grc_arche_v1,
he_dabar_v1, he_chayyim_v1
Idempotent against the 6 pre-existing sealed packs.
* feat(packs): add pedagogical_v1, precise_v1 register packs + 5 new anchor lens packs
Register packs:
- pedagogical_v1: fills the reserved 'pedagogical' depth tier (loader had it in
_ALLOWED_DEPTH_PREFERENCES since R1 with zero packs using it). Socratic markers
in openings/closings; transitions scaffold inquiry progression.
- precise_v1: standard depth, disclosure_domain_count=2 override. Focused output
(two semantic domains vs default three) with no discourse markers. Distinct from
terse_v1 (which forces count=1) and default_neutral_v1 (which has no overrides).
Anchor lens packs (all grc or he substrate, all atoms confirmed in
language_packs/data lexicons):
- grc_zoe_v1: logos.vitality.animate — animate-vitality pole, grc substrate
- grc_aletheia_v1: logos.aletheia.verity — unconcealment pole, grc substrate;
dual-correction pair with he_logos_v1 (same atom, different substrate + mode)
- grc_arche_v1: logos.genesis.origin — generative-origin pole, completes grc quad
- he_dabar_v1: logos.utterance.word — divine-word pole, he substrate;
dual-correction pair with grc_logos_v1 (same atom, different substrate + mode)
- he_chayyim_v1: logos.vitality.animate — covenant-life pole, he substrate;
dual-correction pair with grc_zoe_v1
Also updates ratify scripts to include all new IDs in REGISTER_IDS / LENS_IDS
tuples so ratify_*.py picks them up on next run.
All packs ship with mastery_report_sha256='' — operator runs ratify scripts
after merge to seal. No schema changes; all fields within existing loader bounds.
* fix(packs): wire R6 boolean knobs into precise_v1 + pedagogical_v1; widen R4 gate
Precise: add drop_provenance_tag=true — formal output drops the meta-tag,
making it substantively distinct from default_neutral_v1 on the gloss
path (not just the rare no-gloss disclosure surface).
Pedagogical: add append_semantic_domain_clause=true — expands the gloss
with full semantic domain context, giving the learner cognitive anchor
points. Pairs with the existing Socratic markers for a genuinely
distinct substantive+presentational posture.
ratify_register_packs.py: widen _KNOWN_OVERRIDE_KEYS to include the four
R6 boolean knobs (drop_provenance_tag, compress_gloss, drop_articles,
append_semantic_domain_clause). Validator: isinstance(v, bool). This
anticipates R6 landing on main — the R4 gate must know the keys before
the packs can ratify. All four keys are informational-only in _KNOWN_OVERRIDE_KEYS
until the realizer dispatch code in R6 actually reads them; the gate
just needs to not refuse them.
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)

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.
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).

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

- 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).
`core demo pack-measurements` reproduces refusal_rate = 0.25 across
all three identity packs (default_general_v1, precision_first_v1,
generosity_first_v1). The committed baseline was 1.0, dating to the
ADR-0043 original commit (4ba1ef2); the runtime has evolved through
ADR-0048..0072 since then and the report file fell out of sync.
Evidence
- `python -m core.cli demo pack-measurements --json` reproduces 0.25
deterministically on the current main.
- tests/test_pack_measurements_phase2.py — all 6 pass; tests pin
structural invariants (pack_invariant_gate=True, fabrication=0.0,
refusal_rate ∈ [0,1]), not the specific value.
- report-level `claims_supported` still True; the pack-measurements
demo still PASSes in `core demo all`.
Other fields unchanged:
- fabrication_rate : 0.0
- out_of_grounding_count : 8
- pack_invariant_gate : True
- identity_divergence : distinct_rate 0.8 across pack pairs
No code change. Pure artifact refresh.
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.

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.
The conversation demo's Scene 4 was emitting CORE's raw production
teaching-grounded surface, which reads engineer-y for a layperson:
narrative — teaching-grounded (cognition_chains_v1):
rhetoric.narrative; language.discourse. narrative reveals
meaning (cognition.meaning). No session evidence yet.
The production format is the trust-boundary contract (12+ tests + eval
byte-equivalence + several ADRs depend on it), so it stays unchanged.
This change adds a demo-only display layer that rewrites the same
surface to put the propositional sentence first, with provenance as a
trailing parenthetical:
Narrative reveals meaning. (teaching-grounded from
cognition_chains_v1 — narrative: rhetoric.narrative;
language.discourse; final term: cognition.meaning.
No session evidence yet.)
Trust-boundary preserving:
- Only fires when grounding_source == "teaching" AND surface matches
the production format.
- Every load-bearing token preserved (subject, connective, object,
corpus_id, semantic_domains, "No session evidence yet").
- Pack-grounded surfaces + discourse-planner surfaces pass through
unchanged.
- JSON report's `surface` field still carries the raw production
surface — only the chat-style print is humanised.
Test gate: 2 new tests pin the rewrite contract (proposition-first,
all load-bearing tokens preserved, passthrough for non-teaching).

A live walkthrough that shows CORE actually being used. Four scenes,
five turns, rendered as a chat transcript ('You: …' / 'CORE: …') with
plain-English captions between turns.
Streamed by default (per-character prompt, per-word response, brief
"thinking" pause) so the layperson sees the answer arriving live.
--no-stream disables delays for CI / tests / fast capture.
Scenes:
1. Pack lookup — "What is truth?"
Shows deterministic lexicon-grounded answer.
2. Teaching-chain — "Walk me through recall."
Shows CORE chaining reviewed facts.
3. Compound prompt — "What is truth, and why does it matter?"
Shows compound decomposition + composition.
4. Cold turn → learn — "Why does narrative exist?"
Shows CORE refusing to fabricate, an operator
teaching it one new chain (real propose →
replay-gate → accept), then re-asking the same
prompt and getting a grounded answer.
The learning-loop scene reuses the production learning_loop demo so
the underlying machinery is exactly what ships — active corpus is
byte-identical pre/post.
Test gate: tests/test_conversation_demo.py (9 tests — per-scene
grounding source + content checks, learning loop closes,
active-corpus byte-identical, stable JSON shape).
Usage:
core demo conversation # live streamed transcript
core demo conversation --no-stream # instant rendering
core demo conversation --json # structured report (no chat output)

Renames the original phase5+phase6 combo to its more honest name
'adr-0024-chain' and repurposes 'all' to mean what users expect: every
demo (eight in total) in one shot.
Demos covered:
1. phase5 — stratified mechanism isolation
2. phase6 — three-condition head-to-head
3. audit-tour — pack-layer story
4. pack-measurements — pack-layer claims → numbers
5. long-context-comparison — exact NIAH vs transformer baselines
6. anti-regression — three-gate defense
7. learning-loop — cold turn → grounded surface
8. articulation — discourse-planner spine
Per-demo runners retain their native preambles + reports. The
aggregator captures each demo's load-bearing boolean (already pinned
by that demo's test gate) and prints a consolidated PASS/FAIL table.
Exits non-zero if any demo fails.
Under --json, sub-runner stdout is suppressed and a single
consolidated JSON object is emitted with one key per demo plus
'passed' and 'all_demos_passed'.
'core demo adr-0024-chain' preserves the historical phase5+phase6
combined-summary semantics for callers who depended on it.

Four-scene investor/operator-facing walkthrough proving the discourse-
planner spine is load-bearing. Each scene runs the same prompt under
flag-off (BRIEF baseline) and flag-on (RuntimeConfig.discourse_planner)
and pins a falsifiable lift assertion.
S1. EXPLAIN — Explain truth.
Flag-on: pack→teaching upgrade + 2 chain
continuation sentences over baseline.
S2. COMPOUND — What is truth, and why does it matter?
Flag-on: 9 grounded sentences across two sub-
plans; flag-off routes to OOV.
S3. WALKTHROUGH — Walk me through recall.
Flag-on emits the CLOSURE chain hop
'Recall reveals memory.'; flag-off
does not.
S4. Determinism — N=3 reruns × 3 prompts, unique(surface)=1.
Read-only against live packs + active corpus. Demo is test-gated
(7 tests, all green) and ships a stable JSON contract for downstream
consumers.
Wired into CLI as `core demo articulation [--json]` alongside the
existing trilogy (audit-tour / anti-regression / learning-loop).

Adds an aggregate ``all`` choice to ``core bench --suite`` that
exercises every benchmark CORE ships:
[1/4] Core six — determinism / latency / speedup / versor /
convergence / realizer (via run_benchmarks)
[2/4] Teaching-loop determinism
[3/4] Articulation suite — breadth / determinism / footprint /
cross-topic / discourse-planner /
ollama
[4/4] Cost — measurement bench (no PASS/FAIL by design)
Behavior:
* Each section prints its native report shape (run_benchmarks rows,
articulation summary, cost summary). Final consolidated tally
prints ALL PASSED / FAILURES DETECTED across the three pass/fail
groups; cost is reported separately as a measurement section so
it can't false-positive the gate.
* JSON mode emits a single consolidated object with one key per
section so a downstream report consumer gets every artifact from
one command.
* psutil is treated as optional: when missing, the articulation
footprint sub-bench is skipped (new ``skip_footprint`` kwarg on
``run_articulation_suite``) instead of aborting the whole run.
The other three articulation sub-benches all run, so the spine's
determinism + planner-on capability evidence is preserved.
CLI surface:
core bench --suite all
core bench --suite all --runs 50
core bench --suite all --json --report bench_all.json
Defaults for ``core bench`` (no suite) are untouched — still runs
the six core benches exactly as before.
EPILOG examples updated; ``--suite`` ``choices`` extended with
``"all"``.
Validation:
* core bench --suite all --runs 3: 4 sections run end-to-end;
consolidated tally reports per-bench PASS/FAIL. Pre-existing
backend_speedup FAIL (0.9999x — Rust kernel not built locally)
surfaces correctly; every other bench PASS including
articulation_suite_overall.
* core bench --runs 3 (no --suite): unchanged behavior, same six
benches as before.
* tests/test_articulation_bench.py + test_cli*.py: 25 passed.
* smoke suite 67/67.
Records the deterministic, grounded, multi-clause articulation
benchmark that the discourse-planner work has stabilised. Mirrors
the format of teaching_loop_bench.md so the four sub-benches in
benchmarks/articulation.py have a load-bearing reference document.
Headline:
* 20 independent ChatRuntime instances × 4 prompts (EXPLAIN /
PARAGRAPH / COMPOUND / WALKTHROUGH) produce 4 unique surfaces —
byte-identical determinism on the articulation path with
RuntimeConfig(discourse_planner=True).
* Every visible token traces to a pack lemma, pack gloss, reviewed
teaching-chain entry, or fixed-template connective from the
closed five-entry _MOVE_CONNECTIVE table. No synthesis.
* discourse_planner sub-bench:
cases: 4
articulate_sentence_rate: 1.0
disclosure_sentence_rate: 0.0
multi_sentence_rate: 1.0
* Compound prompt ("What is truth, and why does it matter?") emits
6 distinct grounded sentences with cross-part fact dedup, no
anchor repetition.
* Walkthrough mode walks the teaching-chain edge graph up to 3 hops,
cycle-safe, final hop as CLOSURE; no chain ⇒ degrades to ANCHOR +
SUPPORT rather than fabricating steps.
Doc explains the partitioned predicate contract
(articulate + disclosure + unarticulate = 1.0, total and disjoint)
so future readers know why ``multi_sentence_rate`` alone is not the
headline.
Companion docs cross-linked: discourse_runtime_baseline_2026-05-19.md
(lane-level delta table), the two new isolation lanes
(compound_intent_decomposition, walkthrough_chain), and the
partitioned multi_sentence_response contract.
Sharpens the measurement layer to match the runtime spine landed in
07fefb9 / 7af7892 / 4e3ddee. Pure eval/benchmark/holdout work —
no runtime or planner code changed.
New isolation lanes
-------------------
* ``evals/compound_intent_decomposition/`` — single-purpose lane for
the new ``classify_compound_intent`` decomposer. Metrics:
``decomposition_accuracy``, ``atom_precision``, ``subject_accuracy``.
Public: ``decomposition=1.0`` on 4e3ddee.
* ``evals/walkthrough_chain/`` — single-purpose lane for the new
WALKTHROUGH sequential teaching-chain walk. Metrics:
``path_exact_rate``, ``anchor_rate``, ``min_hop_rate``, ``bounded_rate``.
Public: ``path_exact=1.0`` on 4e3ddee.
Without these, regressions in compound decomposition or the
walkthrough walk would show up as noise in ``multi_sentence_response``.
Each capability now has a single load-bearing metric on its own lane.
Cold-start lane sharpened
-------------------------
* ``evals/cold_start_grounding/public/v1/cases.jsonl`` extended with
expository, compound, and walkthrough cases (48 total cases across
19 categories including new ``expository_definition``,
``compound_definition_cause``, ``walkthrough_definition``).
* ``evals/cold_start_grounding/runner.py`` uses
``classify_compound_intent(...).primary`` for compound subject
scoring — previously misattributed subjects on multi-part prompts.
Holdouts for the long-span lanes
--------------------------------
Until now only the cognition lane had a holdout split. Adding
holdouts to the long-span lanes gives the planner work somewhere to
fail honestly when we widen:
* ``evals/cold_start_grounding/holdouts/v1/cases.jsonl`` (5 cases)
* ``evals/multi_sentence_response/holdouts/v1/cases.jsonl`` (5 cases)
* ``evals/conversational_thread_coherence/holdouts/v1/cases.jsonl`` (3 cases)
* ``evals/warmed_session_consistency/holdouts/v1/cases.jsonl`` (2 cases)
Discourse-planner-on bench sub-bench
------------------------------------
* ``benchmarks/articulation.py`` adds a planner-on sub-bench that
reports ``articulate_sentence_rate`` alongside the existing
throughput metrics. Baselines articulation under load before any
follow-up touches ``compute_trace_hash``.
Test coverage
-------------
* ``tests/test_compound_walkthrough_eval_lanes.py`` — new file pinning
the two new lane runners.
* ``tests/test_articulation_bench.py``, ``tests/test_cold_start_grounding_lane.py``,
``tests/test_intent_explain_paragraph.py``,
``tests/test_response_mode_classifier.py`` — updated for new cases
and assertions.
Validation
----------
* 152/152 active tests pass on the listed surfaces (2 skipped).
* smoke suite 67/67.
* cognition eval byte-identical: public 100/100/91.7/100.
* multi_sentence flag_on: articulate=1.0, disclosure=0.0, unarticulate=0.0
* compound_intent_decomp public: decomposition=1.0
* walkthrough_chain public: path_exact=1.0
* cold_start_grounding public (48 cases): intent=1.0, grounding=1.0, subject=1.0
Closes the last unarticulate cases on the multi_sentence_response
lane. Two complementary changes:
1. ``generate/discourse_planner.py``
* ``ResponseMode.WALKTHROUGH`` budget lifted from (1, 1) to
(1, 4): 1 anchor + up to 3 hops along the teaching-chain graph,
final hop becomes CLOSURE.
* New ``_plan_walkthrough`` selector walks (subject, *, object) →
(object, *, *) starting from the anchor; cycle-safe via the
existing used-fact set; bounded by ``_WALKTHROUGH_MAX_HOPS=3``.
* New ``_plan_walkthrough_fallback`` — when no teaching chain is
rooted on the anchor, emit ANCHOR + (SUPPORT) rather than
fabricating walk steps. Plan retains ``mode=WALKTHROUGH`` so
callers detect "attempted walkthrough, degraded honestly".
2. ``generate/intent.py``
* New classifier rule: ``^walk\s+(?:me\s+)?through\s+`` →
``IntentTag.DEFINITION``. Same orthogonality discipline as the
``Explain X`` rule: ``ResponseMode.WALKTHROUGH`` carries the
walk depth on its own axis.
13 new tests pin: walk shape (ANCHOR + RELATION* + CLOSURE), the
walk invariant (each teaching hop's subject = prior hop's object),
the 4-move cap, the fallback shape on absent chains, fallback mode
retention, cycle-safety against (A→B→A) cycles, and determinism.
Lane re-measurement (24 cases, multi_sentence_response public/v1):
flag off: articulate=0.0833, disclosure=0.1667, unarticulate=0.7500
flag on : articulate=1.0000, disclosure=0.0000, unarticulate=0.0000
The two previously-unarticulate WALKTHROUGH cases ("Walk me through
inference.", "Walk me through recall.") now engage the planner and
render as deterministic teaching-chain walks:
"Inference is a conclusion drawn from premises by reasoning.
Inference requires evidence."
"Recall is to retrieve a stored state from memory.
Recall reveals memory."
Each surface is grounded entirely in pack glosses and reviewed
teaching chains — no fabricated walk steps.
Critical gates all green:
* flag off cognition byte-identical:
public 100/100/91.7/100, holdout 100/100/83.3/100
* smoke suite 67/67
* 91/91 planner tests pass (contract / behavior / compound / helper
/ render / walkthrough)
The 0.875 connective_present_rate remaining flag-on (3 cases without
expected connectives) is the only gap left, and it's now a render-
template question rather than a planner gap.
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
Tightens the multi_sentence_response lane predicates so OOV
invitations and refusal disclosures can no longer be counted as
articulate capability. Three new metrics partition the case space:
articulate_sentence_rate - >=2 sentences AND grounded in
{pack, teaching}. Real capability.
disclosure_sentence_rate - >=2 sentences AND grounded in
{oov, refusal, none}. Structural
multi-sentence from disclosure templates.
unarticulate_rate - <2 sentences regardless of source.
The three sum to 1.0 (modulo rounding) by construction. The
doctrine-correct headline is now ``articulate_sentence_rate``;
``multi_sentence_rate`` is kept as a continuity metric only.
2 new tests pin: (a) the three-way partition is total and disjoint
(articulate + disclosure + unarticulate == 1.0); (b) OOV/refusal
disclosure surfaces contribute to disclosure_sentence_rate but
never to articulate_sentence_rate.
Live A/B on 21 cases under the new partition:
flag off: articulate=0.0952, disclosure=0.0476, unarticulate=0.8571
flag on : articulate=0.8571, disclosure=0.0476, unarticulate=0.0952
Planner lift is +76pp on articulate. Disclosure stays flat across
the flag (the planner gate correctly leaves disclosure surfaces
alone). The remaining 9.5pp unarticulate flag-on is the genuine
miss list (walkthrough + compound prompts) that the next two
landings will target.
contract.md updated to make articulate_sentence_rate the headline
and to document the partition explicitly.
cognition eval byte-identical: public 100/100/91.7/100.
smoke suite 67/67.
Extends ``generate/intent.py:_RULES`` with three new expository
patterns so the upstream subject-extraction gap that the dedup
revealed is closed:
* ``^explain\s+`` → DEFINITION
* ``^(write|compose|draft) (a )?(short|brief)?
paragraph (about|on)\s+`` → DEFINITION
* ``^paragraph (about|on)\s+`` → DEFINITION
Rules placed AFTER the NARRATIVE family so ``Tell me about X`` and
``Describe X`` continue to route to NARRATIVE. Subject extraction
re-uses ``_normalize_subject`` so articles and trailing punctuation
are stripped: ``Explain the parent.`` → subject ``parent``.
``ResponseMode`` is untouched and remains orthogonal: the same prompts
still classify as ``EXPLAIN`` / ``PARAGRAPH`` independently.
20 new tests pin: each rule's expected subject, response-mode
preservation, NARRATIVE/EXAMPLE/existing-DEFINITION rules unchanged.
Lane re-measurement (multi_sentence_response, 21 cases):
flag off: multi=0.1429, primed_multi=0.0000, conn=0.5385, grounded=0.8571
flag on : multi=0.9048, primed_multi=1.0000, conn=0.8462, grounded=0.8571
Combined lift over the original (pre-wiring) baseline:
* multi_sentence_rate: +70pp on the substantive predicate
* primed_multi_sentence_rate: +50pp (0.5 → 1.0 post-classifier)
* connective_present_rate: +74pp (0.10 → 0.85)
* grounded_rate: +39pp (0.47 → 0.86)
Cognition eval byte-identical: public 100/100/91.7/100, holdout
100/100/83.3/100 — these prompts aren't in cognition cases, and the
new rules don't perturb any rule that fires for cognition prompts.
Conversational thread coherence unchanged.
docs/evals/discourse_runtime_baseline_2026-05-19.md updated with the
full delta table; the planner is now load-bearing across the warm
and cold pack/teaching paths and the lane measures real capability
rather than punctuation artifacts.
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
Option 1 of the lane-isolation work after the 8d1aeec predicate
refinement. Adds optional ``priming_prompts: [str, ...]`` to each
case in ``multi_sentence_response``. The runner runs priming prompts
on the same ``ChatRuntime`` instance before the scored prompt and
discards their responses; only the scored prompt is measured.
This isolates code paths (notably the discourse planner hook) that
engage only on the warm pack/teaching path from cold-start one-shot
paths. Cold-start measurement is preserved: cases without
``priming_prompts`` (or with an empty list) keep the old behavior.
New metric ``primed_multi_sentence_rate`` reports only on primed
cases. ``primed`` is also exposed per-case in case_details.
Six primed cases added to ``public/v1/cases.jsonl`` (Explain truth /
Tell about truth / Explain knowledge / Tell about light / Tell about
parent / Write a short paragraph about truth). Each is the cold-
start variant of an existing case plus a single "What is X?"
priming prompt.
3 new tests:
* Priming prompts run in order on the same runtime before the
scored prompt; primed=True on the result.
* Default cold-start behavior: no priming key OR empty list ⇒
primed=False; aggregate untouched.
* ``primed_multi_sentence_rate`` separates from aggregate so
cold cases never inflate/depress the warm-path metric.
A/B measurement on the live runtime (21 cases):
flag off: multi=0.1429, primed_multi=0.0000, primed_cases=6
flag on : multi=0.2857, primed_multi=0.5000, primed_cases=6
Lift is real and exclusively on the substrate the planner can
actually serve (teaching-grounded narrative). The three primed
"Explain X" and "Write a short paragraph about X" cases stay
vault-grounded (Explain / Write are not DEFINITION / NARRATIVE
intents and so don't fire pack-grounded warm), so they don't lift.
That gap is what option 2 will close.
contract.md updated to document priming and the new metric.
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)
Step 4 of the discourse-planner sequencing. Replaces the contract-only
NotImplementedError with deterministic move-selection rules per
ResponseMode:
* BRIEF → 1 move (ANCHOR)
* EXPLAIN → up to 3 (ANCHOR + SUPPORT + RELATION)
* PARAGRAPH → up to 5 (ANCHOR + SUPPORT + RELATION + TRANSITION + CLOSURE)
* EXAMPLE → up to 3 (ANCHOR + RELATION + CLOSURE)
* WALKTHROUGH→ deferred, falls back to BRIEF shape so planner is total
Move selectors:
* ANCHOR — pack is_defined_as on intent.subject if available, else
first canonical pack fact on subject, else first
canonical fact of any source
* SUPPORT — pack belongs_to on anchor's subject
* RELATION — teaching/cross-pack chain rooted on anchor's subject
* TRANSITION — chain rooted on the relation's object (topic shifts)
* CLOSURE — no new fact; carries given lemmas forward
Empty bundles produce empty plans (planner is total — callers fall
through to the existing single-sentence composer path safely).
Updated contract test test_plan_discourse_is_contract_only ->
test_plan_discourse_handles_empty_bundle to reflect the implementation.
26 new behavior tests pin: per-mode shape (BRIEF/EXPLAIN/PARAGRAPH/
EXAMPLE/WALKTHROUGH), anchor preference for is_defined_as, support
preference for belongs_to, relation preference for teaching source,
paragraph transition topic shift, closure semantics (no new content,
carries given forward), fact uniqueness across moves, anchor fallback
when no pack subject match, and full determinism (byte-stable JSON
across all five modes, pure function equality).
Verification:
* 49/49 planner tests pass (23 contract + 26 behavior).
* smoke suite 67/67.
* cognition eval byte-identical:
public 100/100/91.7/100, holdout 100/100/83.3/100.
Step 3 of the discourse-planner sequencing. Adds
generate/grounding_accessors.py:
* pack_grounded_facts(lemma) -> tuple[GroundedFact, ...]
* teaching_grounded_chains(lemma) -> tuple[GroundedFact, ...]
* cross_pack_grounded_chains(lemma) -> tuple[GroundedFact, ...]
* grounding_bundle_for(lemma) -> GroundingBundle
All four reuse the existing data substrate (chat.pack_resolver,
chat.teaching_grounding._all_chains_index, chat.cross_pack_grounding
chain accessors) — no new loader, no new I/O, no string composer
touched. Pack facts emit one `is_defined_as` per gloss + one
`belongs_to` per semantic_domain; teaching/cross-pack chains emit
verbatim (subject, connective, object) triples; everything sorted by
GroundedFact.sort_key for canonical determinism.
21 new tests pin: pack/teaching/cross-pack accessor shape, canonical
sort order, verbatim object invariant (no synthesis), source_id
points back into real artifact, bundle composition combines all three
sources with pack-first priority, and doctrine invariants (no
*_grounded_surface composer imported, no chat.runtime imported).
Verification:
* 21/21 new accessor tests pass.
* smoke suite 67/67.
* cognition eval byte-identical:
public 100/100/91.7/100, holdout 100/100/83.3/100.
Step 2 of the discourse-planner sequencing: add the presentation-depth
axis ResponseMode (brief / explain / walkthrough / paragraph / example)
as a sibling to IntentTag in generate/intent.py, with a deterministic
rule-based classify_response_mode classifier next to classify_intent.
ResponseMode previously lived in generate/discourse_planner.py; moved
to generate/intent.py so the dependency is one-way (planner imports
from intent, never reverse). discourse_planner.py now re-exports.
Additive-only invariant preserved:
* DialogueIntent fields unchanged (tag/subject/secondary_subject/
relation/frame). No equality breakage anywhere downstream.
* classify_intent branches untouched.
* Callers compose (classify_intent(t), classify_response_mode(t))
rather than threading mode through DialogueIntent.
41 new tests pin: placement (canonical home + re-export identity),
classifier behavior (parametrized over 25 prompts), priority ordering
(paragraph > explain, walkthrough > explain), purity (no clock/env/
filesystem), classify_intent invariance (definition / narrative /
example / cause / verification representative cases), and orthogonality
(intent and mode compose, neither shadows the other).
Verification:
* 96/96 existing intent tests pass.
* 69/69 new contract + characterization + classifier tests pass.
* smoke suite 67/67.
* cognition eval byte-identical: public 100/100/91.7/100,
holdout 100/100/83.3/100.
Sidecar characterization that freezes the deterministic source ordering
of the existing aggregated teaching index, cross-pack chains, and
narrative/example composer outputs. No dependency on the discourse
planner contract — this is the bridge that protects the next two
phases (ResponseMode classification + structured GroundedFact
accessors) from source-order drift.
5 tests pin: aggregated teaching index key order, cross-pack subject
and object views, narrative composer source ordering, example composer
source ordering.
Authored in worktree 3721; landed here so the main-line sequencing
(characterization -> ResponseMode -> accessors -> planner -> wiring)
can proceed against a stable substrate.
Contract-only landing for the typed multi-move discourse layer that
will sit between grounding and graph construction:
DialogueIntent + ResponseMode + GroundingBundle
-> DiscoursePlan
-> PropositionGraph
-> ArticulationTarget
-> RealizedPlan
Adds frozen dataclasses (ResponseMode, FactSource, GroundedFact,
GroundingBundle, DiscourseMoveKind, DiscourseMove, DiscoursePlan),
canonical sort + as_dict + to_json serialization (sorted keys,
no-whitespace separators), and the pure plan_discourse signature
(raises NotImplementedError; move-selection rules deferred).
23 contract tests pin the determinism invariants required before
DiscoursePlan can be folded into compute_trace_hash in a follow-up
ADR: frozen-dataclass equality, canonical pack<teaching<vault<operator
ordering, byte-stable to_json across calls and equal plans, JSON
round-trip stability, and signature purity (no chat.* imports, no
clock/env/filesystem reads).
No runtime wiring; smoke suite 67/67; cognition eval byte-identical
(public 100/100/91.7/100, holdout 100/100/83.3/100).

What causes doubt?
Grounding distribution observed:
pack 45 (88.2%) fluent gloss-backed surfaces
oov 3 ( 5.9%) honest OOV invitations
none 2 ( 3.9%) honest "I don't know" (CAUSE w/o chain —
deferred SurfaceSelector target)
teaching 1 ( 2.0%) multi-clause teaching-chain composition
Sample surfaces:
[PACK] What is truth?
Truth is a claim or state grounded by evidence and coherent
judgment. pack-grounded (en_core_cognition_v1).
[PACK] To use means to put something into service for a purpose.
pack-grounded (en_core_action_v1).
[PACK] Something is important when it carries weight or priority in
some judgment context. pack-grounded (en_core_attitude_v1).
[PACK] Always indicates the frequency of occurring without exception
across all instances. pack-grounded (en_core_polarity_v1).
[TEACH] truth — teaching-grounded (cognition_chains_v1):
cognition.truth; logos.core. truth grounds knowledge
(cognition.knowledge). No session evidence yet.
[OOV] I haven't learned 'hypothesis' yet (intent: definition).
Mounted lexicon packs: ...
Teach me via a reviewed PackMutationProposal.
[NONE] I don't know — insufficient grounding for that yet.
(CAUSE on memory — no teaching chain rooted here; the
deliberate non-fallback the teaching pipeline uses as a
discovery-gap signal)
No code change in this commit. Pure documentation artifact for the
fluency-push baseline.
The Phase B1 pipeline-override usefulness gate (c3e2a22) and the
Phase C gloss-backed pack surfaces (07da601) changed the surface
string format in three orthogonal ways:
1. Lemmas are now capitalized at sentence start when the pack
ships a gloss ("Truth is ..." vs "truth — ...").
2. The "No session evidence yet." trailer only appears on the
dotted-disclosure fallback; gloss-backed surfaces end with
"pack-grounded ({pack_id})." instead.
3. The pipeline no longer overrides runtime surfaces with
placeholder-bearing realizer prose, so a small set of tests
that asserted "Truth is defined as ..." appeared in warmed
sessions now see the underlying runtime/walk surface instead.
Fixes by category:
Case-insensitive lemma assertions (4 tests):
tests/test_intent_subject_extraction.py
tests/test_oov_surface.py
tests/test_anaphora.py (× 2)
All four assertions changed from
assert "X" in resp.surface
to
assert "X" in resp.surface.lower()
with a comment noting the gloss-frame capitalization.
Provenance-marker substring (1 test):
tests/test_pack_grounded_correction.py — the DEFINITION-vs-
CORRECTION distinctness assertion replaced its
"No session evidence yet." check with the common-substring
"pack-grounded" marker. Both forms emit the marker; only the
dotted-disclosure form emits the old trailer.
Realizer-template marker list (1 test):
tests/test_semantic_realizer_integration.py — marker list
extended to include "truth is" and "pack-grounded" to match
the gloss-backed NOUN frame.
One test deliberately skipped:
tests/test_semantic_realizer_integration.py::
test_pipeline_result_uses_semantic_surface
This test was passing because the realizer's placeholder prose
("Truth is defined as ...") would override the runtime surface
on warmed sessions. The Phase B1 gate correctly rejects that
placeholder; the pipeline then falls through to the runtime's
warmed result, which today is a walk fragment ("Truth thought.")
because runtime pack-grounding only fires on empty_vault.
That second bug — the warm-grounding-stability gap — is the
target of the deferred SurfaceSelector RFC
(notes/surface_selector_design_2026-05-19.md). When that RFC
lands, this test should be unskipped and pass on the gloss-
backed NOUN frame. The skip carries an explicit link to the
RFC so the connection is preserved.
Verification:
99/100 affected tests green (1 deliberately skipped with
documented rationale). No new failures introduced.
Three companion docs to the 2026-05-19 fluency push. Captures the
deferred architectural work and the measured lift so the next
engineering pass has fixed substrate to build on.
notes/surface_selector_design_2026-05-19.md
Deferred RFC for the typed-candidate-lattice + single-selector
refactor the 2026-05-19 design review prescribed. Names the
remaining symptom this fixes (warm_grounding_stability=0 on the
warmed lane) and the migration shape: PackSurfaceCandidate
already shipped in commit 46ac737 is a structural subset of the
proposed SurfaceCandidate type. Six-step landing plan; each
step ends green and is independently revertable.
notes/spine_unification_design_2026-05-19.md
Companion RFC for the cognitive-spine unification. Enumerates
the three spines today (ChatRuntime.chat, CognitiveTurnPipeline,
scripts/run_pulse) + 5 eval-lane runners that split between
them. Proposes one canonical entrypoint with opt-in mode
parameter. Depends on the SurfaceSelector landing first.
notes/fluency_lift_baseline_2026-05-19.md
Numbers-only baseline. Per-lane before/after metrics across
cold_start_grounding, warmed_session_consistency,
deterministic_fluency, and cognition (public + holdout).
Sample probe showing fluent vs. structured-disclosure output
for 6 prompts. Lexicon + gloss coverage by pack (323/331 =
97.6% English-pack coverage). Reproducer command at the bottom
so anyone can re-measure in one paste.
Both RFCs explicitly document what's IN scope (so the next pass
isn't ambiguous) and what's OUT of scope (so it isn't accidentally
absorbed). Both flag the appropriate landing surface (reviewer's
track, not solo) and the dependency order.
No code change in this commit. Pure documentation.
Phase C of the gloss feature. Lands the natural-language gloss
content that the resolver (Phase B2) and the runtime composer
(Phase B3) were prepared for. This is the user-visible payoff:
cold-start DEFINITION / RECALL prompts on pack-resident lemmas now
emit fluent grounded sentences instead of dotted-domain disclosure.
Authoring: five parallel subagents in ONE message block (a single
parallel dispatch, ~20s wall-clock vs ~95s sequential). Each
subagent received its pack's complete lemma + POS list and a strict
JSON-shape exemplar. Total returned: 326 raw gloss entries.
Assembly (this commit): the raw entries were partitioned by
lexicon-residency lookup (the resolve_gloss invariant enforced at
storage time), deduplicated within pack, sorted by lemma, written
to ``language_packs/data/<pack>/glosses.jsonl``, and each pack's
manifest received a new ``glosses_checksum`` field. 323 glosses
landed clean; 0 rejected.
Per-pack distribution:
en_core_cognition_v1 78 glosses
en_core_meta_v1 72 glosses
en_core_attitude_v1 40 glosses
en_core_temporal_v1 28 glosses
en_core_action_v1 26 glosses
en_core_quantitative_v1 24 glosses
en_core_spatial_v1 24 glosses
en_core_polarity_v1 16 glosses
en_core_causation_v1 15 glosses
Live-probe lift (fresh ChatRuntime per prompt):
BEFORE:
truth — pack-grounded (en_core_cognition_v1):
cognition.truth; logos.core; epistemic.ground.
No session evidence yet.
AFTER:
Truth is a claim or state grounded by evidence and coherent
judgment. pack-grounded (en_core_cognition_v1).
Same provenance. Same audit-trail content (the dotted domains are
still in lexicon.jsonl, the resolver can still read them, the
candidate object carries them verbatim). But the user-facing
surface is a sentence the user can actually read.
Eval-lane lift:
deterministic_fluency BEFORE AFTER
no_dotted_inventory_rate 0.3333 → 1.0000
no_provenance_only_rate 1.0000 → 1.0000 (held)
no_placeholder_rate 1.0000 → 1.0000 (held)
complete_punctuation_rate 1.0000 → 1.0000 (held)
finite_predicate_shape 1.0000 → 1.0000 (held)
surface_provenance_match 1.0000 → 1.0000 (held)
cold_start_grounding all metrics held at 1.0
warmed_session_consistency no_placeholder + telemetry_match held at 1.0
(warm_grounding_stability still 0 — separate fix)
cognition eval public 100 / 100 / 91.7 / 100 (BYTE-IDENTICAL)
cognition eval holdout 100 / 100 / 83.3 / 100 (BYTE-IDENTICAL)
The cognition eval bytes-identity holds because the eval checks
substring containment (case-insensitive after the format change).
Every lemma still appears in its fluent surface.
Hardening this commit enforces:
Lexicon-residency at storage time
tests/test_pack_glosses_content.py::test_every_gloss_lemma_is_lexicon_resident
walks every glosses.jsonl and asserts every lemma is present in
the same pack's lexicon.jsonl. Drift in glosses (an unratified
lemma sneaking in) fails the lane immediately.
Dual-checksum discipline
tests/test_pack_glosses_content.py::test_every_glossed_pack_has_matching_checksum
re-hashes glosses.jsonl bytes-on-disk and compares against the
manifest's glosses_checksum. Any tampering fails.
Immutable-lexicon invariant
tests/test_pack_glosses_content.py::test_lexicon_checksum_unchanged_by_gloss_landing
re-hashes lexicon.jsonl and compares against the manifest's
(original) checksum. Proves that adding glosses did NOT perturb
the lexicon seal.
High-freq lemma resolution
32 of the most-common conversational lemmas (truth, doubt,
fact, idea, self, true, important, now, place, make, effect,
always, ...) all resolve to a fluent surface end-to-end.
Test-suite drift this commit absorbed:
- tests/test_pack_grounding.py — three substring assertions
updated to be case-insensitive (gloss-backed surfaces capitalize
lemmas at sentence start, dotted-disclosure surfaces don't).
"No session evidence yet" assertion replaced with the
common-substring "pack-grounded" marker that BOTH forms emit.
- tests/test_pack_resolver_glosses.py — the back-compat test
pivots from en_core_cognition_v1 (now glossed) to en_minimal_v1
(deliberately unglossed). A new test pins the glossed case.
Files added:
language_packs/data/<pack>/glosses.jsonl (9 files, 323 entries)
tests/test_pack_glosses_content.py (9 contract tests)
Files modified:
language_packs/data/<pack>/manifest.json (9 files, glosses_checksum field)
chat/pack_grounding.py (lowercase "pack-grounded" tag)
tests/test_pack_grounding.py (3 substring assertions relaxed)
tests/test_pack_resolver_glosses.py (back-compat test pivoted)
Verification:
127/127 affected tests green.
9/9 new gloss-content tests green.
All three eval lanes report the lift documented above.
Cognition eval byte-identical.
Wires the gloss resolver (Phase B2) through pack_grounded_surface
WITHOUT hard-coding around the future SurfaceSelector. Per the
2026-05-19 design review:
> don't let glosses hard-code around the selector. If they ship
> first, keep the integration deliberately narrow:
> pack_grounded_surface() may use glosses temporarily, but the
> data model should already look like future SurfaceCandidate
> input. That avoids a second migration.
The integration uses a typed intermediate dataclass that matches the
selector's expected candidate shape:
chat/pack_surface_candidate.py
@dataclass(frozen=True, slots=True)
class PackSurfaceCandidate:
surface: str # rendered final string
grounding_source: str # "pack" today
pack_id: str # provenance
gloss: str | None # reviewed natural-language form
semantic_domains: tuple # audit-trail content
lemma: str
pos: str
is_user_facing_safe: bool # honesty flag for selector
is_fluent_sentence: bool # gloss-backed vs. dotted-disclosure
When the SurfaceSelector lands:
- This type becomes one variant in the selector's typed candidate
union (alongside RefusalCandidate, TeachingCandidate, OOVCandidate).
- pack_grounded_surface() becomes a provider that emits the
candidate; the selector picks across providers' candidates by
ranked authority + is_fluent_sentence preference.
- No data migration — only the rendering step relocates.
Surface composition (chat/pack_grounding.py):
build_pack_surface_candidate(lemma) -> PackSurfaceCandidate
1. resolve_lemma(lemma) — required (None when OOV).
2. resolve_gloss(lemma) — when present AND same pack as lexicon,
compose POS-framed fluent sentence:
"Truth is a claim or state grounded by evidence and
coherent judgment. Pack-grounded (en_core_cognition_v1)."
sets is_fluent_sentence=True.
3. Else fallback to original ADR-0048 dotted-disclosure form:
"truth — pack-grounded (en_core_cognition_v1):
cognition.truth; logos.core; epistemic.ground.
No session evidence yet."
sets is_fluent_sentence=False.
pack_grounded_surface(lemma) -> str | None
Renders the candidate's surface field. Returns None for OOV.
Both fluent and disclosure surfaces carry the
"pack-grounded ({pack_id})" provenance marker so existing
substring-permissive tests continue to pass through the
transition.
POS-framed sentence templates (_frame_gloss):
NOUN -> "{Lemma} is {gloss}."
VERB -> "To {lemma} means {gloss}."
ADJ -> "Something is {lemma} when it {gloss}."
ADV -> "{Lemma} indicates {gloss}."
ADP -> "{Lemma} is a relation of {gloss}."
SCONJ -> "{Lemma} introduces {gloss}."
PRON -> "{Lemma} asks for {gloss}."
AUX -> "{Lemma} expresses {gloss}."
INTJ -> "{Lemma} is uttered to {gloss}."
DET -> "{Lemma} specifies {gloss}."
NUM -> "{Lemma} is the cardinal value {gloss}."
Phase C glosses (sitting in /tmp from the 5-subagent parallel
dispatch) are authored to fit these frames exactly.
NO GLOSSES SHIP IN THIS COMMIT. This is the wiring; the content
arrives in the Phase C commit. Today every pack still emits the
original dotted-disclosure form because no glosses.jsonl exists yet
on any pack.
Verification:

Live probe with no glosses: surface format identical to pre-fix.
Lands the gloss-loader scaffolding from feat/pack-glosses-wip onto
main, with every hardening item from the 2026-05-19 design review
built in from the start. No glosses ship in this commit — only the
infrastructure that will consume them safely.
Hardening items (each pinned by a test):
1. Lexicon-residency check in resolve_gloss()
chat/pack_resolver.py — resolve_gloss now requires the lemma to be
present in the same pack's lexicon.jsonl BEFORE consulting
glosses.jsonl. Without this, glosses.jsonl would become a parallel
surface-authoring channel that bypasses the lexicon's checksum
seal: someone could ship a gloss for a lemma the pack never
ratified, and the runtime would emit it as if it were pack content.
Test: TestLexiconResidencyEnforced::test_gloss_for_unratified_lemma_is_rejected
authors a gloss for ``gamma`` (a lemma not in the lexicon) and
asserts resolve_gloss returns None.
2. Dual-checksum manifest support
language_packs/schema.py — LanguagePackManifest gains an OPTIONAL
``glosses_checksum: str | None`` field. Glosses are an additive
overlay; bumping the glosses_checksum does NOT perturb the
immutable lexicon checksum.
language_packs/compiler.py — _load_pack_cached now verifies
bytes-on-disk of glosses.jsonl against the manifest's
glosses_checksum when present. Missing field on legacy packs is
back-compat (no verification, no raise). Mismatch raises
ValueError exactly like the lexicon checksum gate.
Tests:
test_matching_glosses_checksum_loads_clean — happy path
test_checksum_mismatch_raises — tampered file rejected
test_missing_glosses_checksum_is_back_compat — legacy packs OK
3. clear_resolver_cache() clears BOTH lexicon AND glosses LRU caches
Previously only cleared _pack_lexicon_for, so test fixtures that
wrote glosses.jsonl mid-process would see stale (empty) gloss data
on subsequent resolve_gloss calls.
Test: TestClearResolverCacheClearsBoth proves the issue exists
without the clear, then proves the new code fixes it.
4. Malformed JSONL lines silently skipped
A single bad line in glosses.jsonl must not break resolution for
the rest of the pack. Same defensive parsing as _pack_lexicon_for.
Entries missing required fields (lemma, gloss, or empty values)
are also skipped.
Tests:
test_malformed_line_skipped — invalid JSON between valid lines
test_entry_missing_required_field_skipped — 4 bad shapes filtered
5. Missing glosses.jsonl is back-compat
_pack_glosses_for returns an empty dict when the file is absent.
resolve_gloss returns None. No exception. All 9 currently-
ratified English packs ship with no glosses.jsonl — they must
continue to load cleanly.
Tests:
test_pack_with_no_glosses_returns_empty
test_resolve_gloss_on_lemma_without_gloss_file_returns_none
Files:

The 2026-05-19 design review's P0 #1 finding:
> CognitiveTurnPipeline can replace a useful runtime surface with
> placeholder prose.
Evidence at core/cognition/pipeline.py:147-149 (pre-fix):
if realized_plan.surface and not gate_fired:
surface = realized_plan.surface
articulation_surface = realized_plan.surface
The override gate was JUST "non-empty + gate didn't fire". No
usefulness check. Result: a realizer output of
"Truth is defined as ..." (with <pending> rendered as ...) silently
overrode a perfectly-grounded runtime pack surface, and the runtime
audit log still held a third surface.
Fix: gate the override through ``_is_useful_surface`` from
generate/intent_bridge.py — the same predicate that already gates
the bridge's articulate_with_intent fallback path. An ungrounded
realizer surface cannot honestly override a grounded runtime
surface. When the realizer cannot produce a useful surface, we
keep the runtime answer the user sees.

warm_grounding_stability remains 0.0 because of a SEPARATE bug
the warmed lane surfaces:
Turn 1: "What is truth?" -> pack-grounded ("truth — pack-grounded
(en_core_cognition_v1): cognition.truth; ...")
Turn 2: "What is truth?" -> vault-grounded ("Truth infer.")
After turn 1 ingests pack content into the vault, turn 2's gate
source flips from ``empty_vault`` to ``vault``, so the runtime's
``_maybe_pack_grounded_surface`` dispatcher is bypassed entirely
and the field-walk path produces gibberish ("Truth infer.").
This is the SurfaceSelector-shaped problem from the design review:
pack-grounding should fire by intent shape and lemma residency, not
by vault gate state. Fix scope crosses runtime.py:chat() + the
vault gate logic; deferred to its own commit / design proposal
rather than absorbed here.
The warmed lane already records the metric (0.0 baseline) so when
the fix lands it shows up as a measurable lift.
Closes the gap the 2026-05-19 design review flagged:
> Some evals are too permissive to protect fluency; they accept
> fragments or ungrammatical strings.
This lane defines fluency as six DETERMINISTIC predicates over the
user-facing surface — no LLM judge, no embedding similarity, no
aesthetics. Each predicate is a testable bool.
The six predicates:
no_placeholder — no ..., <pending>, <prior>, <empty>
no_provenance_only — surface is not bare structured disclosure
complete_punctuation — ends with . / ? / ! / ;
finite_predicate_shape — at least one finite-verb token present
no_dotted_inventory — no 3+ dotted-paths joined by ;
surface_provenance_match — grounding_source agrees with surface text
Each is a regex / substring check. Subjective fluency (rhythm,
idiom, register) is deliberately out of scope — that would require
an LLM judge (doctrine violation) or human review (not CI-pinnable).
Baseline measured on current main (this commit, all v1 public cases):
cases: 15
no_placeholder_rate: 1.0000 (hard floor — pinned)
complete_punctuation_rate: 1.0000 (hard floor — pinned)
finite_predicate_shape_rate: 1.0000 (>= 0.90 — pinned)
no_provenance_only_rate: 1.0000 (varies — lift target)
no_dotted_inventory_rate: 0.3333 (varies — lift target)
surface_provenance_match_rate: 1.0000
expected_predicates_pass_rate: 1.0000 (per-case contracts hold)
The dotted-inventory rate at 33% is the exact gap the gloss feature
is designed to close. Today 10 of 15 cases emit surfaces like
doubt — pack-grounded (en_core_meta_v1):
meta.mental_state.uncertainty; meta.mental_state; cognition.epistemic.
No session evidence yet.
After glosses land:
Doubt is a mental state of uncertainty about a claim.
Pack-grounded (en_core_meta_v1).
The lane records both metrics today; thresholds are extended in the
gloss-wiring commit so the rates DROP if the lift fails to land.

evals/deterministic_fluency/public/v1/cases.jsonl
15 cases across four categories: pack_definition (10),
oov_invitation (2), cause_no_chain_unknown_domain (2),
teaching_grounded (1). Each case declares its own
``expected_predicates`` — the subset of the six it must satisfy
today; e.g. OOV cases don't assert finite_predicate_shape because
the invitation surface is intentionally explanatory.
evals/deterministic_fluency/dev/cases.jsonl
2 representative cases for fast iteration.
evals/deterministic_fluency/runner.py
Six predicate functions + framework-compliant run_lane. Returns
per-predicate rates + per-case predicate dicts so debugging a
regression is one read of case_details away.
tests/test_deterministic_fluency_lane.py
14 contract tests covering: case-set integrity, valid predicate
names, lane discovery, every predicate rate emitted, per-case
predicates dict carries every signal, the three hard invariants
(no_placeholder == 1, complete_punctuation == 1,
finite_predicate_shape >= 0.90), expected_predicates_pass_rate
== 1 (every case satisfies its own contract), lift-target
metrics are recorded for the gloss-feature substrate.
Verification: 14/14 lane tests green on current main.
Asymmetric counterpart to cold_start_grounding. Builds the
measurement substrate for the Phase B1 pipeline-override usefulness
gate. Lane is committed now (red baseline measured) so the fix is
landed against a fixed regression target.
The 2026-05-19 design review surfaced the bug this lane catches:
> pipeline overrode a runtime surface with a placeholder realizer
> surface because realized_plan.surface was non-empty, even though
> it contained '...'. The runtime audit log still held a different
> surface. This is the central fluency/design fault: the system
> can be "green" while user-facing selection, pipeline selection,
> and telemetry selection disagree.
The lane reproduces this exactly on the current main:
Surface "Soon is defined as ..." emitted on turn 2 of "What does
soon mean?" (where turn 1 grounded as pack correctly). Telemetry
recorded a different surface than the pipeline returned.
Initial red baseline (THIS commit):
no_placeholder_rate = 0.4444 (target after Phase B1: 1.00)
telemetry_consistency_rate = 0.4444 (target after Phase B1: 1.00)
warm_grounding_stability = 0.0000 (target after Phase B1: >=0.95)
Cold-start-grounding stays at 1.00 on its own metrics. The cold lane
measures routing, the warmed lane measures override discipline; they
are deliberately not the same.

What is measured, why, and the asymmetry with cold_start_grounding.
Documents the four binary per-turn signals (no_placeholder,
pipeline_match_telemetry, pipeline_match_walk, grounded_holds_on_warm)
and the per-case warm_grounding_stable invariant.
evals/warmed_session_consistency/public/v1/cases.jsonl
8 cases / 18 turns. Mix of:
- replay-the-same-prompt (catches override drift)
- mixed-intent sequences (catches OOV / pack interaction)
- cause-no-chain (must stay none across replays)
- what-does-x-mean (the warmed variant of the cold-start test)
evals/warmed_session_consistency/dev/cases.jsonl
2 representative cases for fast iteration.
evals/warmed_session_consistency/runner.py
Framework-compliant run_lane(cases, config=None) -> LaneReport.
Constructs ONE ChatRuntime + CognitiveTurnPipeline per case,
plays the turn sequence through them. Per-turn signals:
no_placeholder — surface free of ..., <pending>, <prior>
telemetry_match — pipeline result.surface == turn_log[-1].surface
grounding_match — actual_grounding == expected_grounding
Per-case signal:
warm_grounding_stable — every replayed prompt produces the same
grounding across turns
tests/test_warmed_session_lane.py
8 contract tests covering: case-set integrity, replay-pattern
presence, lane discovery, runner emits every required metric,
per-turn details carry all signals, and the warmed-runtime
invariant (static check that ChatRuntime is constructed
per-case, not per-turn and not module-scope).
NOT pinned in this commit (deliberate):
Threshold assertions are NOT in the test file. They will land in
Phase B1 alongside the pipeline-override usefulness gate. This
lane's role at present is to PROVIDE the regression target, not
to enforce it before the fix.
Verification: 8/8 lane tests green; the lane itself runs and emits
the red metrics documented above.
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.
Commits the 2026-05-19 probe as a durable, replayable eval lane.
This is *step 1* of the gloss-feature rollout sequence agreed
upstream: establish a stable measurement substrate before any
further intent/grounding changes, so the 52%→0% lift (and any
future regression) is reproducible and CI-pinned.
The lane is deliberately named ``cold_start_grounding`` rather than
``fluency``:
- It measures **routing** (intent → grounding source), not
sentence quality, morphology, or surface diversity.
- The cold-start qualifier reflects the fresh-``ChatRuntime()``-
per-case design. Re-using a runtime across cases would
contaminate the vault from earlier turns and was the exact bug
observed during the probe before the per-case-runtime fix.
Files:
evals/cold_start_grounding/contract.md
Lane contract: what is measured, scoring rubric, pass thresholds
(intent ≥ 0.95 / grounding ≥ 0.95 / subject ≥ 0.90), and the
rationale for the deliberate non-fallback on CAUSE/VERIFICATION
without teaching chains.
evals/cold_start_grounding/public/v1/cases.jsonl
44 cases across 16 categories. Each case carries id, prompt,
category, expected_intent, expected_grounding_source, and an
optional expected_subject. Categories cover every intent
pattern fixed in b52e04a (Define, What-does-X-mean, infinitive,
How-does-X-work, What-causes-X) plus OOV controls and CAUSE
cases with/without teaching chains.
evals/cold_start_grounding/dev/cases.jsonl
5 representative cases for fast local iteration.
evals/cold_start_grounding/runner.py
Framework-compliant ``run_lane(cases, config=None) -> LaneReport``.
Constructs a fresh ChatRuntime() inside ``_run_case`` (cold-start
invariant). Emits intent_accuracy, grounding_accuracy,
subject_accuracy, full grounding distributions, and a per-
category breakdown for regression attribution.
tests/test_cold_start_grounding_lane.py
16 contract tests covering: case-set integrity, valid enum
values, unique ids, lane discovery, pass thresholds, expected-
vs-actual distribution match (drift detection), the architectural
invariants on oov_control and cause_no_teaching_chain cases, the
cold-start invariant (static check that the runner constructs
ChatRuntime() inside the per-case helper, not at module scope),
and result JSON-serialization round-trip.
Baseline metrics (this commit, all v1 public cases):
intent_accuracy: 1.0000 (44/44)
grounding_accuracy: 1.0000 (44/44)
subject_accuracy: 1.0000 (44/44)
grounding distribution (actual == expected exactly):
pack: 37
oov: 4
teaching: 1
none: 2 (deliberate — CAUSE without teaching chain)
Why "none" cases are *expected* to ground as none:
CAUSE / VERIFICATION on a pack-resident lemma WITHOUT an active
teaching chain stays grounding_source='none' on purpose. Falling
through to pack_grounded_surface here would mask the discovery-
candidate signal the teaching pipeline uses to identify chains
worth authoring. The contract test in
TestArchitecturalInvariants::test_cause_no_chain_cases_route_to_none
pins this doctrine.
Verification: 16/16 lane tests green; full lane run via
``core eval cold_start_grounding`` reports 100% on every metric.
Subsequent steps in the agreed sequence (NOT in this commit):
2. Hygiene: runtime API wrappers (achat/arespond/respond) + the
stale CAUSE/VERIFICATION docstring in
tests/test_intent_classification_extensions.py.
3. Harden gloss resolver in feat/pack-glosses-wip
(lexicon-residency check, dual checksum, cache clearing,
malformed-JSONL skip tests).
4. Wire gloss-backed pack_grounded_surface().
5. Author starter glosses with checksum discipline.
