docs(tooling): add post-Gate-A1 frontier microscope (#806)
* docs(gsm8k): post-Gate-A1 frontier microscope and roadmap calibration

Add ephemeral live refusal taxonomy with 44-row case-level table,
blocking-layer/primitive/movement classification, and Gate A2a
ratification-candidate recommendation (not implementation). Update
roadmap v2 and Gate A1 lookback metadata (#805 head c37f97be, merge
bb083004). No runtime or report.json changes.

* fix(gsm8k): soften microscope live pins and hygiene for PR #806

Remove exact live top-bucket count assertions per #804 doctrine; keep
structural invariants and case 0002 Gate A2a seed pin. Fix EOF newlines
and duplicate _PRIMITIVE_BY_SUBFAMILY key.

CORE Problem-Solving Capability Roadmap v2 — 2026-06-17

Status: Living document (post-Gate-A1 calibration update) Date: 2026-06-17 Context: Post PR #797 (rate injection), #798 (Grok governance), #799 (Inc3 rate connector), #801#805 (Inc3 evidence closure, practice-lane monotonic counts, Gate A1 ratification + implementation).

Overview

This v2 roadmap refines the GSM8K Workstream A path and the broader capability sequencing after the rate and comparative injector closures.

As of 2026-06-17 on main @ bb083004:

PR Status Role
#797 merged Inc2 narrow rate injection
#798 merged Grok governance
#799 merged Inc3 "one" rate connector
#801 merged Inc3 evidence closure lookback
#802 merged Practice-lane monotonic counts
#803 merged Gate A1 multiplicative comparative ratification
#804 merged Test doctrine: score vs truth preservation
#805 merged Gate A1 multiplicative comparative injection (bb083004)

Live ephemeral train_sample (current code, no report.json write): 6 correct / 44 refused / 0 wrong. Pinned report.json remains historical 6/44/0.

GSM8K Workstream A — closed increments

  • Inc 1: reader/recognizer baseline lift (discrete etc.)
  • Inc 2: frontier measurement + stale doctrine repair + narrow rate injection (PR #797)
  • Inc 3: "one" connector for rate_with_currency (PR #799) — closed (#801 evidence)
  • Gate A1: multiplicative entity-comparison comparative injection (PR #805) — closed

Injector-frontier closures verified live:

  • rate_with_currency recognized_no_injection = 0 (Inc3)
  • comparative_with_unit recognized_no_injection = 0 (Gate A1)

Aggregate proxy unchanged at 6/44/0; refusal reclassification downstream is expected.

Gate naming (do not conflate)

Name Meaning Status
Gate A1 Multiplicative comparative recognizer injection (compare_multiplicative v1 template) Closed (#803 ratification, #805 implementation)
Gate A1b / Comparative-A2 Additive comparative injection (compare_additive, “X more/less than Y”) Deferred — not Gate A2
Gate A2 (roadmap) Partition / chunking (unit_partition, split-into-sections, aggregate-then-divide) Ratification candidate pending microscope (Gate A2a)
Inc4 denom-state Rate denominator / hour-kg-cup Initial production Deferred — not started

Additive comparative is not roadmap Gate A2. Roadmap Gate A2 remains partition/chunking.

Current hygiene step (this PR)

Post-Gate-A1 frontier microscope — docs/tooling only:

  • Ephemeral build_report(cases) classification of all 44 refusals
  • Lookback: docs/analysis/gsm8k-post-gate-a1-frontier-microscope-2026-06-17.md
  • Tool: scripts/gsm8k_post_gate_a1_frontier_microscope.py

Next ratification candidate: Gate A2a unit partition / chunking primitive (microscope recommendation; not an implementation decision in this PR).

Success Criteria (Inc3 + Gate A1 — met)

  • Inc3 ratified change merged (#799); evidence closure #801
  • Gate A1 ratified (#803) and implemented (#805)
  • Live ephemeral: rate_with_currency and comparative_with_unit no-injection = 0; wrong = 0
  • Monotonic contract: correct >= 6, refused <= 44
  • Pinned report.json historical; no rebaseline without separate ratification
  • Inc3 lookback: docs/analysis/gsm8k-workstream-a-increment-3-lookback-2026-06-17.md
  • Gate A1 lookback: docs/analysis/gsm8k-workstream-a-gate-a1-comparative-multiplicative-lookback-2026-06-17.md

Out of Scope (held)

  • Gate A2 partition/chunking implementation (microscope first)
  • Gate A1b / Comparative-A2 additive comparative implementation
  • Inc4 denominator-state production
  • report.json rebaseline, broad recognizer work, sealed-lane movement
  • Changes to serving sealed paths, identity, policy, or algebra invariants

Sequencing after microscope

  1. Ratify Gate A2a unit partition / chunking primitive (shared narrow primitive — see lookback evidence). Implementation follows ratification only.
  2. Preserve wrong=0 and monotonic counts on every future slice.
  3. Gate A1b / Comparative-A2 (additive comparative) and Inc4 denom-state remain deferred until separately ratified.
