Close the deferred Vault item 4: a read-only endpoint proving a selected
vault entry is recallable by CORE's actual exact CGA machinery, surfaced
in the entry inspector.
Backend (read-only, cold-persisted only):
- GET /vault/entries/{index}/recall rehydrates the persisted VaultStore
(VaultStore.from_dict — bit-exact versors, no reprojection) and runs the
real VaultStore.recall using the entry's own stored versor as the query.
Exact cga_inner scan — never ANN / cosine / approximate.
- recall's +inf exact-self-match sentinel never crosses the boundary: the
genuine finite cga_inner is reported plus an exact_self_match flag. The
raw versor never leaves the engine — only content-addressed digests.
- Trust boundary: caller-controlled index -> 404 (out of range / non-int);
absent persisted snapshot -> 501. The file is never written; the live
runtime is never touched; recall is deterministic over persisted bytes.
Frontend:
- "Exact CGA Recall" inspector panel, collapsed by default so the read is
opt-in (the query hook only mounts on expand). Copy says "exact CGA
recall" / cga_inner — never similarity / relevance / score / ANN /
cosine. Honestly surfaces that a byte-identical self-match is promoted
ahead of metric ranking (CGA null-vector self inner-product ~0).
INV-24: register workbench/readers.py in VAULT_RECALL_SITES as
EVIDENCE_TELEMETRY (operator inspection evidence, not claim-shaping), and
tighten the recall-site detector to recognise VaultStore.from_dict factory
bindings so the obligation is real rather than silently bypassed.
Tests: backend 501/404/self-recall/determinism/no-mutation/JSON-safety +
API status codes; frontend collapsed-doctrine + expanded self-recall
evidence. Full workbench suite (192) + architectural invariants (61) +
vault-touching vitest (70) all green.
The L10 heartbeat (chat/always_on, #747) holds CORE alive over uptime but had no
surface. This adds the read-only Lived Life route that renders the continuous-life
evidence: the heartbeat over uptime + the resume-as-same-life verdict — both halves
of "one continuous life" on one surface.
Persist-first, never recompute engine-owned values:
- chat/always_on: serialize_report + write_lived_life persist a run deterministically
(sorted keys) to engine_state/lived_life.json; run_continuous gains an opt-in
report_path so a real continuous-life run leaves its evidence where the workbench
reads it. closure_ceiling is persisted so the artifact is self-describing.
- workbench/lived_life.py: projection + a fail-closed validate() gate — the wrong=0
analogue for the continuity surface: closure_held/closure_observed/totals/converged
are each re-checked against the per-beat measurements, and resume_status is re-checked
against identity-vs-current-substrate, so a tampered artifact RAISES rather than
rendering a false claim (a beat lying about a breached ceiling, an inflated closure,
a miscounted total, a falsely-claimed resume).
- workbench/readers.lived_life(): reads the artifact, computes the resume verdict from
the persisted identity vs the canonical engine_identity_for_config (fail-soft ->
"unknown", like IdentityContinuity). Honest absence when no run has been persisted.
- GET /lived-life + LivedLife/LivedLifeHeartbeat schemas (snapshot regenerated; the
schema-drift gate proves every field is mirrored in src/types/api.ts).
The resume verdict made felt: would_resume / substrate_changed / unknown IS the L11
reboot guarantee (a reboot recomputes identity and refuses if it differs) — so the
surface shows this life wakes up as ITSELF, not a copy. The per-reboot lineage chain
stays owned by Runs > Identity (honest cross-link).
Frontend: /lived-life route (Evidence section, route count 15 -> 16). Renders the
headline (heartbeats, closure-held-by-construction, learned-while-idle, at-rest, resume
pill), the summary, the heartbeat timeline (closure flat below the ceiling — read, never
repaired), and the resume verdict. Honest absence + ADR-0162 route conformance
(loading/error/empty), fail-closed like Vault/Calibration.
Tests (non-vacuous): 12 backend (every tamper case raises; resume tracks identity vs
substrate; run_continuous(report_path) round-trips a readable+valid artifact) + 4
frontend render tests (recorded life renders; a breached beat shows the warning, never a
false "held"; a changed substrate shows would-refuse, never a false resume; absent shows
honest absence). All workbench Python (167) + affected vitest (167) + tsc + vite build
green; architectural invariants green.
engine_state/lived_life.json is runtime state (gitignored, ADR-0146 pattern).
Clears the long-standing B4 block: the leeway decision was already made on the
serving path (chat/runtime.py::_surface_estimate has a real LicenseDecision +
the ReachPolicy) and then DISCARDED — never threaded to the result, and the
workbench can't import reliability_gate. This wires it through.
Producer (observational, never authorizing):
- core/cognition/leeway.py: LeewayRecord + build_leeway_record(reach_level,
license_decision) — duck-typed on the decision, zero new cross-package
coupling. Maps to: no decision -> "unknown" (STRICT, no latitude); denied
-> "blocked" (gate consulted, said no); licensed SERVE/PROPOSE widening ->
the real class / theta / "[approximate]" disclosure. "verified" is never
emitted (RESERVED state). source_digest content-addresses the decision
(deterministic, no wall-clock).
- core/cognition/result.py: additive `leeway: LeewayRecord | None = None` on
CognitiveTurnResult.
- core/cognition/pipeline.py: build it at result construction from the data
the runtime ALREADY exposes (response.reach_level +
runtime.last_turn_accrual().license). chat/runtime.py is UNTOUCHED.
- workbench/api.py: _leeway_evidence_from_result maps result.leeway ->
LeewayEvidence (pure projection; no reliability_gate import — firewall
intact). The journal already persists it; the B4a UI (Replay / Proposals /
RightInspector) already renders it — no frontend or schema change needed.
Safety (this touches the serving path, so proven, not asserted):
- trace_hash is a NAMED-field hash (core/cognition/trace.py); `leeway` is not
in it -> byte-identical serving. All provenance/trace tests pass.
- response_governance STRICT stays byte-identical (375 governance/serving/
provenance tests green, incl. the live-wiring + estimation-lane + ADR-0206
seam tests).
- core eval cognition: 13 cases, 100% intent / groundedness / versor closure.
- replay determinism holds (leeway is in CRITICAL_FIELDS; deterministic).
Tests: engine (build_leeway_record: strict/blocked/SERVE/PROPOSE, no "verified",
deterministic digest) + workbench mapping (field-for-field, honest absence,
invalid-enum clamp) + integration (a real turn now carries an honest leeway
record, not the null "No evidence recorded"). 151 workbench/leeway Python + 68
frontend (leeway/replay/proposals/schemaDrift) green; schema-snapshot unchanged.
Docs: gate cleared (b4-leeway-feasibility-gate.md), residue ledger flipped to
implemented, scope brief is b4-leeway-producer-scope-2026-06-13.md.
The "they'd want to use it" first-run surface: a curated narrative that makes
the engine's discipline legible to a newcomer — bring a claim from any model and
watch it get decided, refused, or replayed. Proposer authority ignored.
Honest by construction (the risk with a narrative surface is theater):
- workbench/tour.py determinism_tour() is a curated ordered narrative BOUND to
the real demo registry. Intro (provider-agnostic thesis) → three demo steps
(deductive entailment decides only on engine+oracle agreement; epistemic
truth-state refuses a wrong proposer; proof-carrying promotion ignores
proposer authority) → payoff (replay-to-same-hash + the citable evidence
bundle).
- Each demo step's what_this_proves / what_this_does_not_prove cards and the
demo title are PULLED FROM THE REAL DEMO SPEC — never re-authored — so the
tour can never claim more than the demo it points at.
- A step referencing a missing demo FAILS CLOSED (KeyError), not a dead link.
Tests assert both (cards == spec; phantom demo raises).
Backend: schemas.py DeterminismTour/TourStep; GET /tour. schema-snapshot regen.
Frontend: /tour route registered in the registry (Determinism section, 14
routes; nav/palette/guide counts updated); TourRoute — thesis hero + ordered
step cards with the honesty cards + links to the real demos / replay.
Validation: 140 workbench Python tests incl. tour drift guards; 472/472 frontend
incl. routes/routeConformance/routes.docs (guide↔registry), Shell+palette counts
(14), schemaDrift, and the tour UI test; pnpm build clean; git diff --check
clean. No serving-path imports.
The "they'd want to use it" deliverable: a turn's evidence exported as ONE
deterministic, content-addressed, citable artifact — composing the Phase-C
evidence (pipeline + field) with the trace and the calibration leeway verdict.
Backend (read-only, no engine execution):
- schemas.py: EvidenceBundle.
- workbench/evidence_bundle.py: build_evidence_bundle(entry) assembles a turn
journal entry into the bundle and computes bundle_digest. The digest
content-addresses the DETERMINISTIC cognitive evidence only — journal
position + wall-clock (turn_id, journal_digest, replay_reproducer,
generated_from) are carried for provenance but EXCLUDED, so the same turn
content reproduces the same digest regardless of journal position.
- api.py: GET /trace/{turn_id}/bundle. schema-snapshot.json regenerated.
The bundle carries a replay *reproducer* command (how to verify) rather than a
live-run replay, so the artifact itself stays deterministic — verification is
the consumer's step: re-run the prompt sealed, confirm trace_hash, recompute the
bundle, check the digest.
Frontend:
- types/api.ts EvidenceBundle; client/query hook; Trace route **Bundle** tab —
citable digest, "what this proves / does not prove" honesty note, the
reproducer, and a deterministic JSON download (Blob anchor, leak-safe).
Validation: 135 workbench Python tests incl. non-vacuous bundle guards (digest
reproducible, journal-position/wall-clock excluded, any evidence change flips
the digest, missing Phase-C evidence honest); 468/468 frontend incl. schemaDrift
+ the citable-download bundle test; pnpm build clean; git diff --check clean. No
serving-path imports.
Makes the CL(4,1) field geometry legible, honestly. The engine owns the field;
this surfaces ONLY the exact scalar invariants it computes — never the raw
multivector — so the workbench shows "this is the geometry, it's exact, it
can't fake coherence" without a decorative blob or any motion.
Persist-first (the C3 gating work was Python, not React): the honest scalars
were computed live per turn but discarded. Now captured per turn into the
journal so a read-only surface has real evidence.
Backend:
- workbench/field_evidence.py: FieldEvidence computed from the engine result —
exact versor_condition, field_valid (vs the 1e-6 ceiling), a content-
addressed field_digest (sha256 of the engine-canonical array bytes), and
cga_inner(before, after) as the exact transition value. Raw field bytes
never cross the boundary: only floats + digests. validate() is fail-closed —
field_valid can never disagree with versor_condition vs the ceiling (the
wrong=0 analogue for the geometry). No engine math re-implemented
(versor_condition / cga_inner imported from algebra; bytes via array_codec).
- workbench/schemas.py: FieldEvidence dataclass; field_evidence on
ChatTurnResult + TurnJournalEntrySchema. schema-snapshot.json regenerated.
- workbench/journal.py + api.py: persisted at from_chat_turn; first-class read
endpoint GET /trace/{turn_id}/field (trace facet, consistent with /pipeline).
- workbench/replay.py: field_evidence classified CRITICAL — replay now also
proves field determinism (digest + scalars must match on re-execution).
Frontend:
- types/api.ts FieldEvidence + field_evidence passthrough; client/query hook;
FieldInvariantCard (measured value vs ceiling, cga_inner transition, digests;
honest missing_evidence; no blob, no motion); Trace route Field tab.
Honest-empty for pre-widening journal rows (missing_evidence). Deferred:
cross-turn field-coherence trends, session-level field persistence.
Validation: 138 workbench/practice Python tests (incl. non-vacuous field guards
+ replay field-determinism); 465/465 frontend incl. schemaDrift; pnpm build
clean; git diff --check clean. No generate.derivation / reliability_gate /
stream / field.propagate / vault.store imports.
Lands the Phase C "make cognition legible" slice plus Phase A residue, all
backend-reader-first over real engine data (no theater, read-only doctrine
intact, zero serving-path imports).
C1-a — Cognitive pipeline record (persistence-first, per #729 worthiness edit):
- workbench/pipeline_record.py: curated CognitivePipelineRecord over the real
CognitiveTurnResult (input → intent → proposition_graph → articulation_target
→ realizer → walk_telemetry → trace_hash). Raw field multivectors are
DELIBERATELY excluded; _assert_no_raw_field_payload recursively rejects raw
field keys, and validate_pipeline_record fails closed on missing/duplicate
stages, non-recorded status, or dangling edges — the UI can never receive a
partial record that claims to be complete.
- test_workbench_pipeline_record.py: non-vacuous guards — missing stage,
monkeypatched new required stage, and injected raw {"F": [...]} each raise.
C2-a — Contemplation as a process: /contemplation route over real persisted
contemplation/runs/*.json (glob reader; honest-empty when absent).
C4-a — Identity continuity (L10/L11): RunDetail.identity_continuity + Runs
Identity tab, sourced from the real core.engine_identity (engine_identity /
parent_engine_identity lineage relation, re-derived to verify).
Demo Theater: renders backend-owned proof-promotion + entailment DAGs.
Phase A residue: density preference wired end-to-end (settings → shell → tokens);
cross-route consistency touch-ups.
Infra: local API CORS now echoes only validated 127.0.0.1/localhost origins
(hostname-checked, not arbitrary reflection) so Vite fallback ports work.
Route chunk-split keeps the build warning-free.
Cleanup: corrected the stale ADR-0175 practice-lane assertions (build_report is
6 correct / 0 wrong / 44 refused after the current serving lane; wrong=0 held)
and the two registry-derived count tests (LeftNav + CommandPalette 12 → 13 for
the new Contemplation route).
Docs: runtime_contracts.md (pipeline-record contract), UI-UX-GUIDE,
api-contract-v1, data-shapes-v1, wave-M-worthiness, phase-a-residue-ledger.
Validation: 106 workbench/practice Python tests green (incl. wrong=0 lane +
pipeline-record fail-closed guards); 459/459 frontend; pnpm build clean;
git diff --check clean. No generate.derivation / reliability_gate / stream /
field.propagate / vault.store imports.
First Wave M / Phase B piece (GATING): read-only backend that makes the
calibrated-learning / serving-discipline loop inspectable — 'the engine
earns the right to guess', ADR-0175.
The workbench computes NONE of these numbers:
- GET /calibration/classes — per-class gold-tether view from the persisted
practice arena ledger (evals/gsm8k_math/practice/v1/report.json per_class).
Each class's reliability_floor is the engine's own one-sided Wilson
conservative_floor (via ClassTally.reliability); PROPOSE (θ=0.85) / SERVE
(θ=0.99) license verdicts come from core.reliability_gate.license_for.
Failures-first ordering. A test proves the reader's floor equals a direct
conservative_floor() call — no re-implementation.
- GET /serving/metrics — the live correct/refused/wrong counts read unchanged
from the committed train_sample + holdout_dev report.json (currently
4/46/0 and 5/495/0 — wrong=0). Never re-runs a lane.
Honest current state: the committed practice ledger's three classes
(additive/divisive/multiplicative) are all below N_MIN=10, so none has
earned a license yet — the reader shows exactly that, no fake green light.
- workbench/calibration.py: pure readers; imports core.reliability_gate;
EvidenceUnavailableError -> 501 (fail-closed) when the artifact is absent.
- schemas + TS mirrors (CalibrationClass, ServingMetrics); both snapshots
regenerated (deterministic); both drift gates pass.
- trust boundary: read-only over committed artifacts + engine-owned
derivation; no execution, no mutation, no license ever changed.
Verified: 30 Python tests (incl. the no-reimplementation proof + fail-closed),
390 vitest, both schema drift gates, snapshots deterministic.
Replaces the W-026 501 stub. Re-executes a journaled prompt in a sealed
fresh runtime (ChatRuntime(no_load_state=True): no checkpoint load, no
checkpoint write, no proposal lineage) and compares the envelope
leaf-by-leaf against the recorded TurnJournalEntry.
Design correction vs the scoping doc (amended in-doc): journaled turns
each ran in a fresh ChatRuntime(), never one continuous session, so
genesis-PREFIX replay would manufacture spurious divergence; shipped
basis is sealed_fresh_runtime_single_turn (O(1)). origin_state:
"unrecorded" — the journal does not record whether the original turn's
runtime loaded a checkpoint, so divergence is reported as nondeterminism
OR origin-state influence, never disambiguated.
- workbench/replay.py: pure comparison + injected executor; every
TurnJournalEntry field classified critical/informational exactly once
(exhaustiveness enforced by test)
- api.py: route wiring under _CHAT_TURN_LOCK; runtime failure -> 500
runtime_unavailable, no comparison may be fabricated
- schemas: additive TurnReplayComparison/TurnReplayDivergence (W-026
artifact-keyed pair retires with the frontend Replay Moment PR)
- tests: 10 obligations incl. tamper-prompt, tamper-leaf precision,
no-execution-no-comparison, no-trace (journal + engine_state bytes),
wall-clock tolerance, sealed-construction proof
- snapshot regenerated; NOT_YET_MIRRORED debt entries for the two new
classes (mirrors land with the frontend PR)
- api-contract-v1.md § Replay rewritten for the turn-keyed shape
Append-only JSONL journal records the exact ChatTurnResult envelope returned by /chat/turn with stable turn_id, trace_hash, all three surfaces, verdicts, and deterministic journal_digest.
GET /trace/turns and GET /trace/{turn_id} serve journal evidence for the Trace route frontend. Read model only; no teaching, pack, or journal-owned engine_state mutation.
Wires teaching/math_proposals/proposals.jsonl into the CORE Workbench
API (ADR-0160) alongside the existing cognition proposal queue:
workbench/schemas.py
- MathReasoningStep, MathProposalSummary, MathProposalDetail,
MathRatifyResult schemas
workbench/readers.py
- MATH_PROPOSALS_JSONL + _DEFAULT_MATH_AUDIT_PATH constants
- teaching/math_proposals added to ALLOWED_ARTIFACT_ROOTS
- _HANDLER_DISPATCH table (vocabulary_addition→LexicalClaim; all
others not yet implemented)
- list_math_proposals(), read_math_proposal(), ratify_math_proposal()
- read_math_proposal() re-runs decompose_audit() to recover full
4-step reasoning trace (canonical_bytes only carries trace_id)
- ratify_math_proposal() raises NotImplementedError with clear
"handler not yet implemented: {change_kind}" for unhandled kinds
workbench/api.py
- GET /math-proposals, GET /math-proposals/{id}
- POST /math-proposals/{id}/ratify → _math_ratify()
(vocabulary_addition→200/routed; unhandled→501 with loud message)
tests/test_adr_0172_w4_workbench_e2e.py — 6 tests:
1. loads from JSONL
2. renders domain:math badge (distinct from cognition /proposals)
3. ratify-vocabulary_addition routes to LexicalClaim (200)
4. ratify-matcher_extension fails loudly (501 "handler not yet
implemented")
5. all 4 trace steps visible in detail response
6. no cross-contamination between math and cognition queues
teaching + runtime suites green (28 + 20 passed).
Brief-gap note: canonical_bytes() excludes proposal_id and serialises
evidence pointers as hashes only. D1 loader derives proposal_id via
sha256(line_bytes) and re-runs decompose_audit() to recover full trace
for read_math_proposal(). This works but means the JSONL cannot be
loaded without the original audit file. If a future wave needs
standalone JSONL loading, C1 should emit a richer format.
