fix(tests): clear the last reds — a machine-specific path and a stale drift pin
Two of main's remaining failures, diagnosed rather than silenced. Neither was a
broken invariant.
## test_adr_0119_1_sealed_holdout (2) — hardcoded developer-machine path
IDENTITY_PATH = Path("/Users/kaizenpro/.config/core/holdout_keys/repo_holdout.txt")
An absolute path to one laptop, in a test. It passed there and failed
unconditionally on every other machine — a second developer, a fresh clone, any
agent session. Now read from CORE_HOLDOUT_KEY (the same env var
evals/holdout_runner.py already uses) with ~/.config/... as the fallback, which
still resolves to the original location on the authoring machine, so those tests
keep running for real there.
Absent the key the tests now SKIP with the reason stated. A machine without the
holdout key cannot run them; that is not the same as the sealed-holdout contract
being violated, and the two must not report identically.
evals/holdout_runner.py is untouched — it still refuses any plaintext fallback
once an identity is supplied. Only the tests' ability to execute is conditional.
## test_adr_0244_gamma_calibration (1) — genuine drift, re-calibrated
The first TEN pinned leakage values are byte-identical to the 2026-07-17 pin.
Divergence starts at probe turn 12 ("ice is cold") and persists — the signature
of a state trajectory splitting at one turn, not a numeric wobble. Deterministic
across runs and IDENTICAL on pristine main, so it is engine drift accumulated
across the generalization arc, not a change from this branch.
Re-pinned, because this is the guard's own documented action ("regenerate with
collect_live_benign_leakages()"; the test says a hit means "re-calibrate and
reconsider the flag flip"), and because the conclusion it protects is unchanged:
benign leakage still overlaps the attack distribution, so flag_flip_authorized
stays False and identity_wave_gate stays OFF. Reconsidered; still not authorized.
These are measurements of an EXPERIMENTAL off-by-default path where every probe
turn is a boundary-violated refusal — that over-triggering on benign traffic is
the finding the calibration exists to record.
Recorded honestly in the constant's comment: the turn where drift begins is
known, the arc commit that caused it is NOT isolated, and the comment says so.
## Not fixed here, because they were already fixed
test_issue_300_versor_margin (3) and test_adr_0172_w0_1_trace_replay_equivalence
(1) were subprocesses shelling out to `uv run core chat` and dying on
"No interpreter found for Python 3.12.13" — the exact-pin problem. Both pass on
this branch already, fixed by

fix(cognition): expose hash_surface; point the register-matrix pin at it
*** VERIFICATION PENDING — see the bottom of this message. *** 99 of the 107 full-suite failures are one test, red on clean main since 2026-07-23, and it is guarding the wrong field. WHAT IS NOT WRONG. test_register_matrix_trace_hash_invariant — the load-bearing ADR-0072 truth-path-isolation claim — passes on all 99 registers on pristine main. trace_hash does not vary across the register axis. The invariant holds; the seals and wrong=0 are untouched. WHAT IS. test_register_matrix_canonical_surface_byte_identical asserts on CognitiveTurnResult.surface, on its docstring's claim that this is "the truth-path field compute_trace_hash consumes". That stopped being true when Phase 0 flipped resolve_surface to response-first precedence and introduced SurfaceResolution.hash_surface as the register-invariant capture. Since then pipeline.py folds hash_surface into compute_trace_hash, while result.py documents surface as "final voiced surface (what the user sees)". So the test demanded that registers NOT differ on the served surface — the opposite of what the register axis exists for, and a direct contradiction of test_register_substantive_consumption.py, which pins that they DO differ and is green in smoke. Two tests on main asserting opposite things about the same bytes; the red one is in neither gate, so it stayed red. ROOT CAUSE, and why this is a code fix rather than a test edit: hash_surface was pipeline-local. The invariant was unobservable from a turn result, which is why the test reached for the nearest visible field and drifted. Exposing it makes the contract testable at the seam that owns it: - CognitiveTurnResult.hash_surface — new field, populated from the value the pipeline already computed - evals/cognition CaseResult carries it through - the test asserts byte-identity on hash_surface, with the history recorded so it cannot drift back No stored baseline to regenerate — the fixture computes it live. [Verification]: NOT YET RUN. The register matrix is ~16 min and was still executing when the working tree had to be committed; its output buffers through tail, so no partial signal was available. Committed to preserve the work with an honest label rather than to claim it passes. DO NOT MERGE until `pytest tests/test_cognition_eval_register_matrix.py` is green — expected 0 failed where main has 99, with test_register_matrix_trace_hash_invariant still passing. Result to follow. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FduW6Krm3PPQv3P5iwBYtx |

build: relax requires-python from ==3.12.13 to >=3.12,<3.13
The exact patch pin made every gate unrunnable on any host without that precise build. cpython-3.12.13 is not published for linux-x86_64, so `uv sync --locked` failed outright there and there was no local run at all — for a project whose merge bar IS the local run, that is the failure mode that matters. It is how test_lane_sha_verifier.py and 99 register-matrix tests sat red on clean main without anyone seeing them. Safe because the pin was not load-bearing for reproducibility: the committed trace_hash / content_sha256 / lane-SHA pins were established under 3.12.13 and reproduce byte-for-byte under 3.12.11 (119 hash-pinned tests, 118 pass; the one failure is a stale lane roster that fails on 3.12.13 too). The minor version stays bounded — 3.13 is a real upgrade decision, not a patch bump. .python-version follows to "3.12" so uv resolves any patch release. [Verification]: `uv lock` regenerated — the ENTIRE diff is one line, requires-python "==3.12.13" -> "==3.12.*". All 217 packages resolve to identical versions; no dependency moved. `uv sync --locked` now succeeds on linux-x86_64, which it could not do before this change.

revert(tests): drop the local-to-CI smoke parity assertion — CI is not a gate
Reverts the bidirectional half of the smoke parity pin added earlier today,
and records why at the assertion site so it is not "completed" again.
I read the suite list's comment ("so the local-first pre-push gate equals the
CI gate") as promising equality, made the assertion symmetric, and reported
tests/test_pack_draft_serve_boundary.py as drift because it sits in the local
gate and not in .github/workflows/smoke.yml.
That was wrong, and AGENTS.md says so in a line I had already read: GitHub
Actions are billing-locked and produce dead signals, never chase them. The
Forgejo host (e2-micro) cannot run workflows either. CI here is run MANUALLY
in-worktree — usually faster anyway on UMA hardware with real RAM — which is
what scripts/ci/local-ci.sh now front-ends. smoke.yml is secondary
observability, not a gate.
So the local suite is the SOURCE and is free to be broader. Asserting the
reverse converts a file nobody executes into a maintenance obligation, and one
agents cannot discharge at that — pushing workflow changes needs an OAuth scope
the push credential lacks. The three "owed" lines were never owed.
The surviving direction (CI subset-of local) still protects something real: if
smoke.yml ever names a path the local gate lacks, the local gate is narrower
than a published claim about it.
Arc-close brief updated to match: the "three files owed to smoke.yml" open item
is replaced by a recorded non-finding, so the next reader does not re-derive it.
Its shipped-work table now lists what actually landed in its place — the local
CI runner, the lane-roster fix, and the proposal-sink test-isolation fix.
[Verification]: 21 passed across test_cli_test_suites, test_lane_sha_verifier,
test_adr_index; ruff clean on the changed test.
NON-CANONICAL: Python 3.12.11, not the pinned 3.12.13 (unavailable for
linux-x86_64). Hash-pinned tests reproduce committed values regardless.

fix(tests): stop a test writing proposals into the live in-repo sink
Found by running the full tree: every full-suite run left an untracked
speculative proposal artifact in teaching/proposals/derived_close_facts/.
test_runtime_flag_on_emits_after_consolidation passes engine_state_path=tmp_path,
but that does not redirect the proposal sink — the runtime calls
emit_derived_close_proposals(ctx) with no sink argument, so it resolves
DEFAULT_SINK: the real, repo-relative directory. Fixed by monkeypatching the
module-level default the runtime resolves through.
Its neighbour was defending against exactly this with:
assert not any(sink.glob("*.json")) or True # may have pre-existing from other tests
which is vacuously true, and whose comment was describing the leak it was
papering over rather than the contract it claimed to check. With the flag-ON
test no longer writing there, an honest assertion is possible: snapshot the
live sink BEFORE the tick and require it unchanged after. (First attempt at
this took the snapshot after idle_tick(), which compares the sink to itself —
corrected here.)
Only visible now that the parents[3] DEFAULT_SINK bug is fixed and the sink
resolves inside the repo; before 2026-07-24 these artifacts were landing
outside the tree entirely, which is why nobody saw them.
[Verification]: 28 passed across test_derived_close_proposals,
test_proposal_queue, test_idle_proposal_review; working tree clean afterward,
no residue.
NON-CANONICAL: Python 3.12.11, not the pinned 3.12.13.

ci(local): one-command local-first runner; fix a lane roster red on main
Two things, both surfaced by finally being able to run the tree. ## A pre-existing silent red tests/test_lane_sha_verifier.py::TestExpectedLaneCoverage was RED on clean main — confirmed by running it in a pristine worktree at origin/main, and the file is untouched by any of this branch's work. deduction_serve_v1 (ADR-0256) and curriculum_serve_v1 (ADR-0262) shipped during the generalization arc and neither was added to EXPECTED_LANES. The roster's `extra` assertion is a deliberate tripwire: a new lane is supposed to fail it once so an author acknowledges the addition. Nobody did, and nothing caught it, because that file is in neither `smoke` nor `deductive` — no local gate and no CI job runs it. Same silent-red family as the exact-tuple pin S5 found in passing, and as the register-axis e2e tests that sat red for two days. This commit is the acknowledgement the tripwire was asking for. That it took running the full tree to find is the argument for the rest of this commit. ## scripts/ci/local-ci.sh AGENTS.md says the merge bar IS the local run. There was no single entry point for it, and on any host without Python 3.12.13 exactly there was no local run at all: pyproject pins requires-python == "3.12.13", so uv sync --locked fails outright and every gate becomes unrunnable. sh scripts/ci/local-ci.sh --tier smoke|gate|full `gate` is the three pre-push steps; `full` is the whole tree in parallel. Suite membership is read from core/cli_test.py::TEST_SUITES through the CLI and never restated, so this runner cannot drift from the hook the way smoke.yml drifted from the local list. Interpreter contract, deliberately fail-closed: the pinned interpreter is CANONICAL, and the runner refuses on anything else with instructions. --allow-interpreter-fallback opts into any 3.12.x and stamps every run NON-CANONICAL. Same discipline as ratified_ledger's missing_ok and the MLX skip path: a degraded mode is legitimate, a degraded mode reporting itself as the real thing is not. Evidence recorded in the script header so the flag is not cargo-culted: the committed-SHA / trace_hash / content_sha256 / lane-SHA pin set (119 tests) was run on 3.12.11 and 118 passed, the one failure being the stale roster above, which fails on 3.12.13 too. That is evidence the exact pin is not load-bearing for bit-exactness — it is NOT a ruling that it should be relaxed. Relaxing it is a reproducibility decision and belongs to a human. ## Observed, not fixed Something in the suite writes a real proposal artifact into teaching/proposals/derived_close_facts/ instead of a tmp_path. The three test files that name that sink all override it correctly, so the leak is elsewhere — likely an idle_tick/contemplation path exercising DEFAULT_SINK. Untracked residue, removed here, flagged for follow-up. Notable because it is only visible now that the parents[3] bug is fixed and the sink resolves inside the repo. [Verification]: gate tier via the new runner — smoke 236, warmed_session 10, deductive 285, all passed, correctly stamped NON-CANONICAL. Fail-closed path verified (exit 3 with instructions). lane_sha_verifier 6 passed. Full tests/ tree in progress at 63% with 0 failures at time of commit. NON-CANONICAL: Python 3.12.11, not the pinned 3.12.13. Not merge evidence.

feat(provenance,teaching): close the lateral gaps the assessment actually found
Squashes the arc's work into one commit; the workflow-file edit it originally carried is excluded (see the end of this message). ## Lane 1 — Workbench recorded a proved answer as ungrounded With deduction_serving_enabled ratified ON (ADR-0256), workbench/api.py's live chat route builds a bare ChatRuntime(), so the deduction composer decides Workbench turns and stamps grounding_source="deduction" — but _coerce_grounding_source carried a hand-copied whitelist of the six pre-arc labels and silently rewrote anything else to "none". The runtime comment reasoned this was inert because "REPL turns do not flow through Workbench's CognitivePipelineRecord path". True, and irrelevant: the traffic flows the other way. Stale since 2026-07-24. Scope is one field. workbench/api.py:818 prefers TurnEvent.epistemic_state, which read epistemic_state_needed — honest. So the UNregistered path degraded honestly while the hand-copied whitelist asserted a falsehood; a second copy of a closed enum was worse than no copy. Hence registration AND derivation: GROUNDING_SOURCES exposes the Literal's members, and the coercion reads it. workbench-ui badges/tokens/snapshot follow; enumCoverage.test.ts forces atomicity. ## Lane 2 — the ratification ceremony The discovery loop was instrumented but not closed. teaching/ratification.py turns a reviewed decision into a chain record, a corpus commit, and a receipt. Its design turns on one observation: _ratified_rows DROPS unadmissible rows silently — correct when serving, a trap when ratifying, because the file grows, the commit lands, and the band count does not move. So the ceremony refuses to call an append a ratification until it has re-read the curriculum through the real loader and seen the chain arrive; a non-admitted append is rolled back. Validation is a pre-flight courtesy, admission is the proof. Arena queue entry and ledger reseal are deliberately NOT performed (bridge rule 1); the receipt names them. Front door: `core proposal-queue ratify`, a sibling of `review` rather than a flag on it. ## Lane 3 — structural closures - ADR-0263 gains rule 5: absence policy is DECLARED in CAPABILITY_LEDGERS, not passed at the call site. An AST-matched test fails if a serving path passes missing_ok again. - Deductive suite added WHOLE to the pre-push gate: 285 tests in 29s against smoke's 216 in 62s, so no coverage trade was needed. - Smoke/CI parity assertion made bidirectional. It was one-directional, and had drifted. - test_prior_surface_deduction_binding.py pins correction binding on the deduction path. The review's diagnosis did NOT reproduce — hash_surface moves in lockstep — so it pins what is there. Mutation-checked. - Domain-keyed ADR index over 312 flat-numbered files, explicitly partial. - Arc-close brief template, plus this arc's own brief filled in against it. ## Lanes 4 and 5 — two premises falsified by measurement, one of them mine Math 4.2: baseline reproduced (correct=5 wrong=0 refused=495); all four named cases traced to one seam with each gap isolated by one-variable probes. Then the number that changes the recommendation: the gap blocking case 0000 affects 1 case in 500, the 'than' gap blocking 0001 affects 2. ADR-0251's prohibition on per-case growth now rests on a count. No reader change made. CGA: versor_condition is 0.22% of a turn, not the "~10x proof latency" I claimed — that multiplied an isolated microbenchmark by a call count and compared it to a single verdict's latency. The real cost is geometric_product at 33,986 calls/turn (~73%) via cga_inner in search paths. The obvious closed form is NOT bit-exact (954/4000 in f32); backend.vault_recall's serial fold IS (3000/3000, worst-rel 0) and is the correct target. cargo test could not run — static.crates.io is denied by the sandbox network policy — so the Rust parity question stays open and the typestate lane is carried forward, not shipped uncompiled. ## Not landed: three lines owed to .github/workflows/smoke.yml The CI smoke gate is narrower than the local one — test_pack_draft_serve_boundary.py (ADR-0253 INV-33) has been local-only, unseen because the parity pin checked one direction. The edit was authored and rejected at push for lacking the `workflow` OAuth scope, so it is recorded as a named, dated PENDING_IN_CI exception rather than dropped: the assertion still fires on any new divergence, and a second guard fires once the three land. [Verification]: pre-push gates all green — smoke 236 passed, warmed_session 10 passed, deductive 285 passed. Ratification 14, ADR index 5, CLI suites 10. Grounding/epistemic sweep 741 passed 1 skipped. workbench-ui 598 passed across 73 files, tsc -b clean. capability index 11 passed, digest unchanged. Math holdout correct=5 wrong=0 refused=495. Committed chain corpora byte-unchanged after the tests that write to them. Environment caveat: the repo pins requires-python ==3.12.13, which uv cannot fetch for linux-x86_64, so `uv sync --locked` fails. All Python runs used a scratch venv on 3.12.11 with declared deps — not the locked universe, not the full ~12k suite. The pin was left untouched. Re-run on a 3.12.13 host before treating this as merge evidence. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FduW6Krm3PPQv3P5iwBYtx |

docs(assessment): independent verification of the Tier-S arc assessment
Re-checks every load-bearing claim of an external architectural assessment (18 observations + a five-pillar blueprint) against the tree, by reading the implicated code and, where possible, executing it. Headline: Workbench records a proved deduction answer as ungrounded. With deduction_serving_enabled ratified ON, chat/runtime.py stamps TurnEvent.grounding_source="deduction", and workbench/api.py's _coerce_grounding_source whitelist silently rewrites it to "none". Verified by running workbench.api._run_chat_turn, not by reading. Scope is one field: epistemic_state still reads epistemic_state_needed (honest) because workbench/api.py:818 prefers the TurnEvent's own value. The unregistered path degrades honestly; the hand-copied whitelist asserts a falsehood. Falsified items, with evidence: - parents[n] audit — run: 168 sites, 0 outside the repo root. - realizer-guard exemption — documented at both guard sites. - T12 — present in the weekly-audit stragglers TODO. - assert_corpus_sound — already domain-parameterized and called unconditionally. - promotion oracle — already the wrong=0 lane gate, per tier-s-housekeeping §3. - accrue_realized_knowledge — a session-memory deployment profile, not a debt clock. - cross-subject proof — resolve_domain fails closed on ambiguity. Also corrects the blueprint's flagship item: EntailmentTrace carries BDD node keys, not derivation steps, so multi-step articulation is engine work (proof-term extraction), not a rendering-layer gap. And records that the "second subject arena" premise is falsified by the curriculum-volume measurement — 11 bands across 4 subjects already route, all 24x-73x short. Companion Apple Silicon/MLX blueprint assessed: both premises contradicted by the repo's own benchmark report (no MLX in any runtime path; Rust backend opt-in and off). One of five items adopted (typestate), one rejected on numerics (bf16 against a 1e-6 gate). [Verification]: docs-only change; no code paths touched. Findings themselves were executed against a scratch venv — the repo pins ==3.12.13, which uv cannot fetch for linux-x86_64, so the pin was left untouched.
