Two new intent shapes + composers turn the runtime's corpus
density into operator-visible articulation. Both consult the
cross-corpus aggregator from ADR-0064; no new ratification needed.
P3.3 — chat/narrative_surface.py + IntentTag.NARRATIVE.
Classifier patterns (registered BEFORE generic DEFINITION):
^tell\s+me\s+about\s+
^describe\s+
^what\s+(?:can|do)\s+you\s+(?:say|know)\s+about\s+
narrative_grounded_surface(subject, max_clauses=4) walks every
reviewed chain rooted on subject across all registered teaching
corpora. Dedupes by (connective, object) — cause + verification
carrying the same predicate emit one clause, not two. Sorts by
(intent, connective, object) for replay stability.
Surface format:
"{X} — narrative-grounded ({corpus_ids}): {dX1}; {dX2}.
{X} {conn1} {O1} ({dO1}); {X} {conn2} {O2} ({dO2}).
No session evidence yet."
Cross-corpus subjects (e.g. mother in relations_v2) emit
narrative-grounded (relations_chains_v2) tag; cognition subjects
emit cognition_chains_v1 tag. Multi-corpus subjects (when
applicable) emit composite "corpus_a + corpus_b" tag.
P3.4 — chat/example_surface.py + IntentTag.EXAMPLE.
Classifier patterns:
^(?:give|show)\s+(?:me\s+)?an?\s+(?:example|instance)\s+of\s+
^example\s+of\s+
example_grounded_surface(object_lemma, max_examples=3) walks chains
where the lemma is the OBJECT — inverts the typical subject-keyed
access pattern. Dedupes by subject; sorts by (intent, subject,
connective).
Surface format:
"{X} — example-grounded ({corpus_ids}): {dX1}.
Example: {subj1} {conn1} {X}; {subj2} {conn2} {X}.
No session evidence yet."
Cross-cutting:
- Both intents added to _OOV_INTENT_TAGS — fall through to OOV
invitation when subject is unknown (Phase 2 gradient discipline).
- Both tagged grounding_source="teaching" (same provenance tier
as the existing teaching_grounded_surface).
- No prose generation, no new mutation surface.
Live verification:
> Tell me about truth.
[teaching] truth — narrative-grounded (cognition_chains_v1):
cognition.truth; logos.core. truth grounds knowledge
(cognition.knowledge); truth requires evidence (cognition.evidence).
> Give me an example of knowledge.
[teaching] knowledge — example-grounded (cognition_chains_v1):
cognition.knowledge. Example: truth grounds knowledge;
understanding requires knowledge; evidence grounds knowledge.
> Tell me about mother.
[teaching] mother — narrative-grounded (relations_chains_v2):
kinship.parent.female. mother precedes daughter (kinship.child.female).

ADR-0066 (this commit completes the ADR). 30 new tests passed.
Full lane: 2067 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed in 2:32.
Add a deterministic, pack-agnostic post-processor in `generate/intent.py`
that runs after the `_RULES` table fires:
- DEFINITION / RECALL / PROCEDURE: strip trailing punctuation + leading
articles; preserve multi-word noun phrases
- CAUSE / VERIFICATION: additionally strip leading aux verbs; return
the head noun
Closed-set frozen sets (`_ARTICLES`, `_AUX_VERBS`) make the transform
inspectable. No pack load, no algebra change — touches only
`DialogueIntent.subject`.
Cognition eval (13-case public split):
surface_groundedness 46.2% → 61.5% (+15.3 pp)
term_capture_rate 33.3% → 50.0% (+16.7 pp)
intent_accuracy 100.0% (=)
versor_closure_rate 100.0% (=)
Two cases lift through the ADR-0048 pack path
(definition_procedure_023, definition_relation_026 — both
"What is a X?" → subject=X via article stripping). CAUSE / VERIFICATION
subjects are now clean head nouns, foundational for future COMPARISON
pack path / teaching-store inference.
Tests: tests/test_intent_subject_extraction.py (30 tests).
Lanes green: smoke (67), cognition (121), runtime (19), algebra (132),
teaching (17), packs (6).
Closes the mixed_relation_* (multi-step-reasoning) and composed_predicate
(compositionality) residuals with a single new operator plus a small
intent-classifier loosening. Both residuals shared an underlying shape:
walk any outgoing relation edge from the head, regardless of which
relation predicate appears at each step.
generate/operators.py:
multi_relation_walk(triples, head, *, max_hops=5) -> WalkResult
Walks any outgoing edge from head, accumulating a path across
mixed relation types. Returns WalkResult with relation="<mixed>"
so trace_hash records the cross-relation provenance explicitly.
Deterministic, cycle-safe, first-write-wins on duplicate heads
(across any relation).
generate/intent.py:
_TRANSITIVE_QUERY_RE relaxed from a closed verb enumeration to any
single verb-like word. "What does X (any verb)?" now routes to
TRANSITIVE_QUERY consistently; unrecognised relations are handled
by the pipeline's multi_relation_walk fallback rather than falling
through to UNKNOWN. Verified no regression on 30 intent / realizer
tests.
core/cognition/pipeline.py:
_maybe_transitive_walk now does precision-first dispatch on
TRANSITIVE_QUERY: try transitive_walk(relation) literal-match
first, fall back to multi_relation_walk only when the literal
walk returns a singleton. DEFINITION intents do not fall back
(would be too permissive for "What is X?").
tests/test_inference_operators.py: 6 new TestMultiRelationWalk
tests covering single-relation pass-through, cross-relation walks,
cycle termination, max_hops truncation, and determinism.

PHASE 3 v1 IS COMPLETE: 10 of 10 splits passing. Phase 3 exit gate
(>= 2 lanes passing v1 by phase exit) is satisfied five times over.
Foundation guarantees (premises_stored_rate, replay_determinism)
remain 1.0 across all lanes. Trace_hash bit-stability preserved
with operator invocation records folded in per ADR-0018.
Compositionality public at 0.69 / holdouts at 0.80 - the residual
failures are the novel_pair_under_seen_relation / novel_relation_on_seen_pair
cases whose contract authoring is itself ambiguous (the leakage
check in the v1 contract fires by design on those patterns). Those
are contract-refinement candidates for v2 of that lane, not
engineering work. Overall_pass threshold (>= 0.50) is comfortably
met on both splits.
CLI suites smoke / cognition / teaching / packs all pass; 53
operator+teaching+pipeline tests green; no regression.
Implements the Phase 3 v2 inference-depth bundle per ADR-0018:
typed deterministic operators over CORE's typed state. Closes the
inference-closure / multi-step-reasoning / cross-domain-transfer
v1 gaps; partial close on compositionality.
New modules:
teaching/relation_parse.py - parse_triple(correction_text) lifts
a correction utterance into a typed (head, relation, tail) over
the en_core_cognition_v1 relation vocabulary. Pure regex,
deterministic, no learned classifier.
generate/operators.py - transitive_walk(triples, head, relation,
*, max_hops=5) walks single-relation chains. path_recall walks
a relation-chain tuple (e.g. ("is", "precedes")). Both bounded,
cycle-safe, case-insensitive, first-write-wins on duplicates.
Schema extensions:
teaching.store.PackMutationProposal gains optional triple field,
populated by TeachingStore.add via parse_triple. Plus new
TeachingStore.triples() helper returning all parsed triples.
generate.intent.IntentTag gains TRANSITIVE_QUERY plus a relation
field on DialogueIntent. New regex rules for "What does X R?"
and "Where does X belong?" forms with relation normalisation.
core.cognition.result.CognitiveTurnResult gains operator_invocation
field (deterministic serialisation of any operator that ran).
core.cognition.trace.compute_trace_hash gains operator_invocation
kwarg; trace_hash_from_result threads it through. Operator
invocation is now load-bearing for replay equality.
Pipeline wiring:
CognitiveTurnPipeline.run dispatches transitive_walk after
runtime.chat() when the intent is TRANSITIVE_QUERY (with the
parsed relation) or DEFINITION (implicit "is"). Non-trivial walks
fold the chain endpoint into surface and articulation_surface.
Verification:
tests/test_inference_operators.py - 27 unit tests covering
parser, transitive_walk (cycles, max_hops, case-insensitivity,
determinism, first-write-wins), path_recall, and WalkResult shape.
Re-score on Phase 3 v1 case sets:

Six of eight splits now pass v1. Foundation guarantees
(premises_stored, replay_determinism) remain 1.0 across all lanes.
Trace_hash determinism preserved (operator records fold in
deterministically).
Residuals (filed as Phase 3 v2 follow-up):
- multi-step-reasoning mixed_relation_3/4 patterns need path_recall
wired into the pipeline for multi-relation probes; the operator
exists but the pipeline only invokes transitive_walk today.
- compositionality novel-combination patterns need a genuinely
new operator shape (composed_relation_walk) - the literal
transitive walk does not synthesise novel pairs by construction.
CLI suites smoke / cognition / teaching pass; no regression. 47
pipeline + teaching + operator tests all green.
