The 5-loop substrate's load-bearing gate is verified — playbook +
matrix indexer give the results we're looking for. Per the report's
rubric, lift ≥ 50% of discoveries means matrix is doing real work;
7/8 = 87.5% blew through that.
Harness was structurally hiding bugs behind a 5-daemon stripped boot.
Expanding to the full 10-daemon prod stack surfaced 7 fixes in cascade:
1. driver→matrixd: {"query": ...} → {"query_text": ...} field name
2. harness temp toml missing [s3] → wrong default bucket → catalogd
rehydrate 500 on first call
3. harness→queryd SQL probe: {"q": ...} → {"sql": ...} field name
4. expand boot from 5 → 10 daemons in dep-ordered launch
5. add SQL surface probe (3-row CSV ingest → COUNT(*)=3 assertion)
6. candidates corpus was synthetic SWE-tech (Swift/iOS, Scala/Spark) —
wrong domain for staffing queries; replaced with ethereal_workers
(10K rows, real staffing schema, "e-" id prefix to avoid collision
with workers' "w-"). staffing_workers driver gains -index-name +
-id-prefix flags so the same binary serves both corpora
7. local_judge qwen3.5:latest is a vision-SSM 256K-ctx build running
~30s per judge call against the lift loop; reverted to
qwen2.5:latest (~1s/call, 30× faster, held lift theory)
Each contract drift (1, 3) is now locked into a cmd/<bin>/main_test.go
so future drift fires in `go test`, not in a reality run. R-005 closed:
- cmd/matrixd/main_test.go (new) — playbook record drift detector +
score bounds + 6 routes mounted
- cmd/queryd/main_test.go — wrong-field-name drift detector
- cmd/pathwayd/main_test.go (new) — 9 routes + add round-trip + retire
- cmd/observerd/main_test.go (new) — 4 routes + invalid-op + unknown-mode
`go test ./cmd/{matrixd,queryd,pathwayd,observerd}` all green.
Reality test results (reports/reality-tests/playbook_lift_001.{json,md}):
Queries 21 (staffing-domain, 7 categories)
Discoveries 8 (judge ≠ cosine top-1)
Lifts 7/8 (87.5%)
Boosts triggered 9
Mean Δ distance -0.053 (warm closer than cold)
OOD honesty dental/RN/SWE rated 1, no fake matches
Cross-corpus boosts confirmed (e- ↔ w- swaps in lifts)

Adds main_test.go for each of the 6 cmd binaries that lacked them
(storaged already had main_test.go; that's where the pattern came
from). Each test file focuses on the cmd-specific surface — route
mounts, body caps, decode/validation paths — without re-testing
internal package logic that's covered elsewhere.
cmd/catalogd/main_test.go — 6 funcs
TestRoutesMounted: chi.Walk asserts /catalog/{register,manifest/*,list}
TestHandleRegister_BodyTooLarge: 5 MiB body → 4xx
TestHandleRegister_MalformedJSON: 400
TestHandleRegister_EmptyName_400: ErrEmptyName surfaces as 400
TestHandleGetManifest_404 + TestHandleList_EmptyShape
cmd/embedd/main_test.go — 8 funcs
stubProvider implements embed.Provider deterministically
TestRoutesMounted, MalformedJSON_400, EmptyTextRejected_400 (per
scrum O-W3), UpstreamError_502 (provider error → 502, not 500),
HappyPath_ProviderEcho, BodyTooLarge (4xx range), TestItoa
(covers the no-strconv helper)
cmd/gateway/main_test.go — 4 funcs
TestMustParseUpstream_HappyPaths: 3 valid URLs
TestMustParseUpstream_FailureExits: re-execs the test binary in a
subprocess with env flag (standard pattern for testing os.Exit
callers); subprocess invokes mustParseUpstream("127.0.0.1:3211")
[missing scheme]; expects exit non-zero. Same pattern for garbage.
TestUpstreamConfigKeys_DocumentedShape: locks the 6 _url keys
cmd/ingestd/main_test.go — 7 funcs
Stubs both storaged and catalogd via httptest.Server so the cmd
layer can be exercised without bringing the full chain up.
TestHandleIngest_MissingNameQueryParam: 400 with "name" in body
TestHandleIngest_MalformedMultipart: 400
TestHandleIngest_MissingFormFile: 400 (valid multipart, wrong field)
TestHandleIngest_BodyTooLarge: 4xx
TestEscapeKeyPath: 6-case URL-escape table (apostrophe, space, etc.)
TestParquetKeyPath_Format: locks the datasets/<n>/<fp>.parquet shape
per scrum C-DRIFT (any rename breaks idempotent re-ingest)
cmd/queryd/main_test.go — 6 funcs
Tests pre-DB paths (decode, body cap, empty SQL); db.QueryContext
itself needs DuckDB so it's covered by GOLAKE-040 in the proof
harness, not unit tests. handlers.db = nil here is intentional.
TestHandleSQL_EmptySQL_400: 3 cases (empty, whitespace, mixed-WS)
TestMaxSQLBodyBytes_Reasonable: locks the 64 KiB constant in a
sane range so a refactor can't blow it open
TestPrimaryBucket_Constant: locks "primary" — secrets lookup uses
this; rename = silent secret-resolution failure at boot
cmd/vectord/main_test.go — 14 funcs
All 6 routes verified mounted. handlers.persist = nil = pure
in-memory mode; persistence is GOLAKE-070 in the proof harness.
Coverage of every error branch in handleCreate/Add/Search/Delete:
missing index → 404, dim mismatch → 400, empty items → 400,
empty id → 400, malformed JSON → 400, body too large → 4xx,
happy create → 201, happy list → 200.
One real finding caught during writing:
Body-cap rejection is sometimes 413 (typed MaxBytesError survives
unwrap) and sometimes 400 (decoder wraps it as a generic decode
error). Both are valid client-error contracts; the contract isn't
"exactly 413" but "fails loud as 4xx, never silent 200 or 5xx."
Tests assert 4xx range. The proof harness's
proof_assert_status_4xx already had this shape — just bringing
the unit tests in line with it.
Verified:
go test -count=1 -short ./cmd/... — all 7 packages green
just verify — vet + test + 9 smokes 35s
Closes audit risk R-005 (6/7 cmd/main.go untested). Combined with
the proof harness's wiring coverage, every cmd-level handler now
has both unit-test and integration-test coverage of the wiring
layer. R-005 → CLOSED.
