#449 shipped an inert, duplicated, unvalidated pack off-brief; closed it but kept the on-thesis idea (ground the nouns GSM8K problems use) with the real scope it would need to be beneficial.

# Backlog: everyday-atoms grounding pack (idea, not yet scoped)
|
||
|
||
**Source:** closed PR #449 (`atomic_definitions_everyday_v1`), opened off-brief by
|
||
the remote connector during the 2026-05-29 ADR-0179 work. Closed as not-mergeable
|
||
(inert, structurally duplicated, unvalidated, disconnected from the active arc),
|
||
but the *idea* is worth keeping.
|
||
|
||
## The idea
|
||
|
||
A compact, curated pack of everyday-object atoms — the concrete nouns GSM8K word
|
||
problems actually lean on (apples, baskets, boxes, strawberries, coins, …). This
|
||
is on-thesis: it gives the engine "more pieces to the puzzle" so it can comprehend
|
||
the entities a problem talks about, rather than only counting their numbers. It is
|
||
*finding/comprehending better*, not *storing another found answer*.
|
||
|
||
## Why #449 as shipped delivered no benefit
|
||
|
||
- **Inert** — nothing in `chat/`, `generate/`, `language_packs/`, or `core/`
|
||
referenced it; `default = false`, `status = "draft"`. No runtime effect.
|
||
- **Duplicated + mislocated** — shipped the same 9 files twice
|
||
(`packs/everyday/` *and* `packs/everyday/atomic_definitions_everyday_v1/`),
|
||
neither matching the flat `packs/<pack_id>/` convention (cf. `packs/en/`).
|
||
- **Unvalidated** — never run through the pack gate (`core pack validate`); all
|
||
gates `false`; manifest checksums unverified (must hash the bytes on disk).
|
||
- **Disconnected** — the math derivation/reader lane does not consume semantic
|
||
packs, so even if loaded it would do nothing for GSM8K today.
|
||
|
||
## What would make it beneficial (the real scope when it's time)
|
||
|
||
1. **One flat, conventional location**: `packs/atomic_definitions_everyday_v1/`.
|
||
2. **Passes the pack gate**: probes green, checksums hashing the written bytes,
|
||
`validate_pack_dir`/`lift_from_pack` delegation reviewed at the dynamic-validator
|
||
trust boundary.
|
||
3. **A consuming grounding path**: an ADR that wires everyday-atom grounding into a
|
||
comprehension/reader lane that actually reads it (otherwise it's a parked
|
||
artifact). Likely adjacent to the ADR-0178 comprehension-guided composer, not to
|
||
ADR-0179 extraction.
|
||
4. **Curated, not bulk** — keep it compact (CLAUDE.md: no corpus bulk-ingest into
|
||
runtime); grow it deterministically with pack tests.
|
||
|
||
Until 1–3 exist, this is an idea, not a pack.
