Companion to c522ace (cutover slice live). That commit proved
infrastructure (Bun /_go/* → Go gateway). This commit proves the
SUBSTRATE'S CORE LEARNING BEHAVIOR through the same path.
Two tests against persistent Go stack on :4110 with the 200-worker
corpus, all traffic via Bun frontend on :3700:
TEST 1: same-role boost fires with exact math
Q1: Need 3 Forklift Operators in Aurora IL for Parallel Machining
query_role: "Forklift Operator"
cold (use_playbook=false):
rank=0 id=w-43 dist=0.4449 Brian Ramirez, Springfield IL
POST /_go/v1/matrix/playbooks/record:
query_text=Q1, role=Forklift Operator, answer_id=w-43, score=1.0
→ playbook_id=pb-1126c52bd106df6b
warm (use_playbook=true):
rank=0 id=w-43 dist=0.2224 ← halved
boosted=1, injected=0
Math check: BoostFactor = 1 - 0.5*score = 0.5 (for score=1.0).
Expected warm_dist = 0.4449 * 0.5 = 0.22245.
Observed: 0.2224. 4-decimal exact through 3 HTTP hops.
TEST 2: cross-role gate prevents bleed
Q2: Need 1 CNC Operator in Detroit MI for Beacon Freight
query_role: "CNC Operator"
use_playbook: true (Forklift recording from Test 1 in playbook corpus)
result:
rank=0 id=w-175 Kevin Ruiz (Machine Operator, Detroit MI)
rank=2 id=w-102 Laura Long (Forklift Operator, Cleveland OH)
boosted=0, injected=0 ← role gate fired correctly
w-102 (Forklift Operator) appears at rank 2 organically via
cosine retrieval — but boosted=0 confirms the Forklift PLAYBOOK
did NOT influence this query. Surgical: gate suppresses
playbook-driven boosts from cross-role recordings, leaves
organic retrieval untouched.
What this confirms about the substrate:
1. Learning works — single recording → measurable, math-exact boost
2. Bleed protection works — role gate (real_001 fix) holds through
cutover slice
3. Math holds across HTTP hops — Bun → gateway → matrixd → vectord
with no drift
4. Substrate works through real production-shape framing — CORS,
content-type, body forwarding, all transparent
The substrate's reason-for-being (5-loop learning) is now
demonstrably executing on persistent daemons under
production-shape frontend traffic.
