Phase 1 of the post-ADR-0024 sequence: wire the inner-loop flag into live
cognition paths and prove deterministic-when-wired in the same milestone.
Changes:
- RuntimeConfig: add inner_loop_admissibility + admissibility_threshold.
- ChatRuntime: pass both into generate() on the chat hot path.
- CLI: --inner-loop-admissibility / --admissibility-threshold flags.
- vocab/manifold.py: document strict `>` tie-break as load-bearing for
ADR-0024 rejected_attempts ordering (determinism by construction, not
by accident).
- tests/test_inner_loop_admissibility.py: three new determinism tests —
identical rejected_attempts across 5 runs, identical trace hash across
5 runs (non-empty), and legacy hash equivalence when no rejections
occur (flag on/off byte-identical).
- tests/test_language_pack_cache.py: fix stale fixture (en-core-cog-070
-> en-core-cog-085 after pack growth).
Suite: 995 passed, 0 failed, 2 skipped.
Acceptance criteria met:
- wired through RuntimeConfig + CLI + ChatRuntime + generate()
- deterministic rejected_attempts sequence (verified by repetition)
- deterministic trace hash under inner_loop=True
- legacy ADR-0023 trace hashes preserved when no rejections
- nearest_next determinism is by construction (sequenced iteration +
strict > tie-break), now documented
Next: Phase 2 — corpus-observation eval on existing v1 corpus with the
four-condition matrix (boundary-only, null control, inner-loop t=0.0,
inner-loop t>0) and exhaustion_rate + latency metrics.
