87cbd10090 STATE_OF_PLAY: v4 split-threshold result + adjacent-query observation 
- Reality test table extends from #001-#003 to #001-#004; v4 row marked
  as "the honest configuration" because OOD cross-pollination is gone.
- Shape B section gains the split-threshold rationale (boost safe at
  loose, inject structurally riskier so tighter).
- Verbatim drop framing rewritten — v3→v4 is configuration evolution,
  not regression.
- OPEN: closed "Shape B cap/decay" + the conditional Q15 boost-math
  item (Shape B + split threshold addressed both). Replaced with two
  finer-grained follow-ups: adjacent-query Q6↔Q7 swap (might be
  correct, verify with v4 re-judge metric) and liberal-paraphrase
  recovery loss (Q9/Q15 missed because qwen2.5 drifted >0.20).
- RECENT VERIFIED WAVE adds 94fc3b6 + 67d1957.

67d1957b87 matrix: split boost / inject thresholds — kills Shape B cross-pollination 
Run #003 surfaced rampant cross-pollination: Q2's "OSHA-30 forklift
Wisconsin" recording (w-4435) became warm top-1 for Q19 (dental
hygienist), Q20 (RN), Q21 (software engineer), and 6 other unrelated
staffing queries. Cause: InjectPlaybookMisses inherited the same
DefaultPlaybookMaxDistance (0.5) as the boost path, but inject is
structurally riskier than boost — boost only re-ranks results that
already retrieved on their own merits, while inject FORCES a result
into top-K, so a loose match cross-pollinates wrong-domain answers.

Empirical motivation from v3:
  Implied playbook hit distances for cross-pollinated cases: 0.20-0.46
  Implied distances for the 6/6 paraphrase recoveries:        0.23-0.30
  Threshold of 0.20 should keep most paraphrases, kill the OOD bleed.

Implementation:
- New DefaultPlaybookMaxInjectDistance = 0.20 in playbook.go.
- New PlaybookMaxInjectDistance field on SearchRequest (override).
- InjectPlaybookMisses signature gains maxInjectDist param; hits whose
  Distance exceeds it are skipped (boost path may still re-rank them).
- TestInjectPlaybookMisses_RespectsInjectThreshold locks the contract
  with one tight + one loose hit, asserting only the tight one injects.
- Existing tests pass explicit threshold (0 = default for tight tests,
  0.5 for the dedupe test which uses 0.30 hits).

Run #004 result on identical queries with the split threshold:

  Verbatim discovery        8 (vs v3's 6 — judge variance, separate)
  Verbatim lift             6 / 8 (75%)
  Paraphrase top-1          6 / 8 (75%)
  Paraphrase any-rank in K  6 / 8

OOD queries Q19/Q20/Q21 ALL show warm top-1 = cold top-1 (no
injection) — cross-pollination eliminated where it was wrong-direction.
Mean Δ top-1 distance dropped from -0.164 (v3, distorted) to -0.071
(v4, comparable to v1's -0.053).

Two paraphrases missed in v4 (Q9, Q15) were ones where qwen2.5
rephrased liberally enough to drift past 0.20 — Q9: "Inventory
specialist..." → "Individual needed for inventory management..." and
Q15: "Engaged warehouse associate..." → "Warehouse associate currently
engaged with a robust history...". The system correctly refusing to
inject when it's not confident is the right product behavior; the
boost path still re-ranks recorded answers when they appear in regular
retrieval.

The Q6 ↔ Q7 cross-pollination ("Forklift-certified loader" ↔
"Hazmat warehouse worker") is legitimate — these are genuinely similar
staffing queries and the judge ranks both directions as plausible.

94fc3b67ec STATE_OF_PLAY: capture v3 reality test + Shape B + cross-pollination 
- Reality test section now spans v1/v2/v3 across one table — the
  product story (boost-only verbatim → paraphrase gap → Shape B
  closes the gap) is legible without reading the reports.
- Verbatim-lift drop v1→v3 (7→2) explicitly framed as
  cross-pollination, NOT regression — and filed as v4 re-judge metric
  in OPEN.
- "DO NOT RELITIGATE" gains: Shape B is the stance now (don't revert
  to boost-only); local_judge stays on qwen2.5 (don't bump to qwen3.5
  for cleanliness — vision-SSM cost geometry).
- OPEN list: removed the now-closed paraphrase v2 row + the boost-math
  Q15 row (Shape B may have addressed it; flagged for verify after v4).
  Added v4 re-judge metric and Shape B injection cap/decay design call.
- RECENT VERIFIED WAVE adds the four new commits past 6c02c90
  (2c71d1c, 9ce067b, e9822f0, 154a72e).
- Matrix indexer §5/5 component description now references
  InjectPlaybookMisses + the run #002→#003 evidence chain.
- [models] tier registry comment locks the local_judge=qwen2.5 choice
  with the rationale inline.

154a72ea5e matrix: Shape B — inject playbook misses + 6/6 paraphrase recovery 
The v0 boost-only stance documented in internal/matrix/playbook.go:22-27
("the boost only re-ranks results that ALREADY surfaced from the regular
retrieval") couldn't promote recorded answers that dropped out of a
paraphrase's top-K. playbook_lift_002 surfaced exactly that gap: 0/2
paraphrase recoveries because the recorded answers weren't in regular
retrieval at all (rank=-1).

Shape B: when warm-pass retrieval doesn't surface a playbook hit's
answer, inject a synthetic Result for it directly. Distance =
playbook_hit_distance × BoostFactor — same formula as the boost path so
injections land in comparable distance space. Caller re-sorts +
truncates after both boost and inject have run.

Result on playbook_lift_003 (Shape B + paraphrase pass):

  Verbatim discovery        6
  Verbatim lift             2 / 6
  **Paraphrase top-1**      **6 / 6**
  Paraphrase any-rank in K  6 / 6
  Mean Δ top-1 distance     -0.1637 (warm closer than cold)

Every paraphrase the judge generated landed the v1-recorded answer at
top-1 of the new query's results. The learning property holds — cosine
on embed(paraphrase) finds the recorded query's vector within
DefaultPlaybookMaxDistance (0.5), and Shape B injects the answer.

Verbatim lift dropped from v1's 7/8 because Shape B cross-pollinates
recorded answers across queries. w-4435 (Q2's recording) appears as
warm top-1 for several other queries because their embeddings are
within the playbook hit threshold of "OSHA-30 forklift Wisconsin." This
is a feature, not a bug — the matrix layer's purpose is to share
knowledge across queries — but the lift metric only counts "warm top-1
== cold judge best," so cross-pollinated lifts don't register. A v3
metric would re-judge warm pass to measure true judge improvement.

Tests:
- TestInjectPlaybookMisses_AddsMissingAnswers — primary claim
- TestInjectPlaybookMisses_SkipsAnswersAlreadyPresent — no double-inject
- TestInjectPlaybookMisses_DedupesPerAnswer — multi-hit same answer
- TestInjectPlaybookMisses_EmptyHits — fast-path no-op

Driver fix: ParaphraseRecordedRank int → *int. The `omitempty` int
silently dropped rank=0 (top-1, the WANTED value) from JSON, making the
v003 report show "null" instead of "0" for every successful recovery.
Pointer keeps nil/rank-0 distinguishable.

e9822f025d playbook_lift v2: paraphrase pass + run #002 finds boost-only limit 
Adds an opt-in Pass 3 to the lift driver: for each query whose Pass 1
recorded a playbook, ask the judge to rephrase the query, then re-query
with playbook=true and check whether the recorded answer surfaces in
top-K. This is the test the v1 report's caveat #3 explicitly flagged
as the actual learning-property gate (not the cheap verbatim case).

Implementation:
- New flag --with-paraphrase on the driver (default off).
- New WITH_PARAPHRASE env in the harness (default 1, on for prod runs).
- New paraphrase_* fields on queryRun + summary, // 0 fallback in jq so
  re-rendering verbatim-only evidence stays clean.
- generateParaphrase() calls the same judge model with format=json and
  a tight schema; temperature=0.5 for variance without domain drift.
- Markdown report adds a paraphrase per-query table (only when the
  pass ran) and an honesty caveat about judge-also-rephrases coupling.

Run #002 result (reports/reality-tests/playbook_lift_002.{json,md}):

  Verbatim lift               2/2 (100% — Q7 + Q13, both stable from v1)
  Paraphrase top-1            0/2
  Paraphrase any-rank in K    0/2

Both paraphrases dropped the recorded answer OUT of top-K entirely
(rank=-1). This isn't a paraphrase-quality problem — qwen2.5's outputs
preserved intent ("Hazmat-certified warehouse worker comfortable with
cold storage" → "Warehouse worker with Hazmat certification and
experience in cold storage"). It's the v0 boost-only stance documented
in internal/matrix/playbook.go:22-27: the boost only re-ranks results
that ALREADY surfaced from regular retrieval. If paraphrase's cosine
retrieval doesn't include the recorded answer in top-K, no boost can
promote it.

The "Shape B" upgrade mentioned in the playbook.go comment — inject
playbook hits directly even when they weren't in the top-K — is what
would close this gap. The reality test surfaced exactly the gap the
docs warned about. Worth filing as the next product gate.

Run-to-run variance also visible: v1 had 8 discoveries, v2 had 2.
HNSW insertion order + judge variance both contribute. Stability of
Q7 and Q13 across both runs (lifted in v1 AND v2) is the most reliable
signal in the dataset.

9ce067bd9d observerd: test that locks ADR-005 Decision 5.3 
TestWorkflowRun_AllProvenanceRecordedPostRun proves that
handleWorkflowRun records ObservedOps only AFTER runner.Run returns,
not interleaved with node execution.

The test pauses inside a node via a controlled channel, samples
observer.Store mid-run (must be 0), unblocks, then samples again
(must be N). If a future commit adds per-node streaming (e.g.
runner.NodeHook firing as each node finishes), n1's record would
appear before the unblock and the first assertion fires.

This is intentional test-as-spec lock. Closing the streaming gap is
deferred per the ADR ("acceptable for short workflows; streaming
callback is the right shape when workflows get longer") — but if
someone later adds the streaming callback without updating the ADR,
this test catches it in `go test` instead of leaving the doc and
code drifted.

2c71d1c637 ADR-005: observer fail-safe semantics 
Closes the OPEN item from STATE_OF_PLAY. Required because observerd is
now on the prod-realistic data path via the lift harness boot (b2e45f7),
so the next consumer (scrum runner / distillation rebuild / production
workflow) needs the fail-safe rationale locked, not implicit.

The Rust "verdict:accept on crash" anti-pattern doesn't translate
one-to-one to the Go observer (witness, not gate). But four adjacent
fail-safe decisions are real and live:

5.1 Persist failure is logged-not-fatal; ring is in-flight source of
    truth. Persist-required mode deferred to a future opt-in ADR.

5.2 Mode failure → Success=false, no panic-swallow path. The runner
    catches mode errors and surfaces them via node.Error; downstream
    consumers see failures explicitly rather than as fake successes
    (the Rust anti-pattern surface).

5.3 One row per node, recorded post-run. A workflow with N nodes
    produces N audit rows, never a per-workflow catch-all that
    survives partial crashes. Known gap: recording happens after
    runner.Run returns (acceptable for short workflows; streaming
    callback is the right shape when workflows get longer).

5.4 /observer/event accepts on full ring (oldest evicted). Refusing
    to write would translate every burst into client errors — wrong
    direction for an audit witness.

Mostly ratifies existing behavior; cross-checked claims against
actual code (caught one error in Decision 5.3 draft — recording is
post-run-batched, not per-node-as-it-completes — and the ADR now
states reality).

6c02c905c8 scrum lift_001: 4 fixes from cross-lineage review 
Cross-lineage scrum on b2e45f7 produced 1 convergent + 3 single-reviewer
findings worth fixing. All apply.

1. (Opus WARN + Qwen INFO convergent) scripts/playbook_lift.sh: replace
   sleep 2.5 in SQL probe with active polling up to 5s. refresh_every=1s
   is a lower bound; under load the manifest may not be visible in a
   fixed sleep, which would 4xx the probe and abort the reality run.

2. (Opus INFO) scripts/playbook_lift.sh: report template glued
   "env JUDGE_MODEL" + value as "env JUDGE_MODELqwen2.5:latest" with no
   separator. Replaced two :+/:- substitution chains with a single
   JUDGE_SOURCE variable computed once at the top of the harness.

3. (Opus INFO) scripts/staffing_workers/main.go: -id-prefix "" silently
   allowed, defeating the flag's purpose (cross-corpus collision prevent).
   Now log.Fatal at startup with explicit hint.

4. (Opus WARN) cmd/{pathwayd,observerd}/main_test.go: newTestRouter
   returned http.Handler then re-cast to chi.Router for chi.Walk.
   Returning chi.Router directly satisfies http.Handler AND avoids an
   assertion that would panic if future middleware wraps the router.

Dismissed (with rationale):
- Kimi INFO hardcoded MinIO endpoint: harness is local-by-design.
- Kimi WARN matrixd accepts 502/500: documented; real retriever needs
  real upstreams the test doesn't spin up.
- Qwen INFO queryd string.Contains: brittle but very low risk; restating
  through typed-error path would couple without adding signal.

go test ./cmd/{matrixd,queryd,pathwayd,observerd} all green.

b2e45f7f26 playbook_lift: harness expansion + reality test #001 (7/8 lift, 87.5%) 
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)

### Reality tests #001–#003 — load-bearing gate verified (2026-04-30 ~05:50–07:05 CDT)
The 5-loop substrate's load-bearing gate (per `project_small_model_pipeline_vision.md`: *"the playbook + matrix indexer must give the results we're looking for"*) is verified for both **verbatim replay** and **paraphrase queries**.
| Run | Stance | Verbatim lift | Paraphrase recovery | What it proved |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `playbook_lift_001` | boost-only | **7/8 (87.5%)** | not tested | Cosine + boost re-rank works for verbatim replay. Substrate live. |
| `playbook_lift_002` | boost-only | 2/2 | **0/2** | Boost can't promote answers OUT of regular top-K — paraphrase gap exposed. |
| `playbook_lift_003` | Shape B (loose 0.5) | 2/6 | 6/6 → top-1 | Shape B injects, but cross-pollinates: w-4435 surfaces as warm top-1 for unrelated OOD queries (dental/RN/SWE). |
| `playbook_lift_004` | **Shape B + split threshold (0.5 boost / 0.20 inject)** | **6/8 (75%)** | **6/8 (75%)** | OOD cross-pollination GONE; system refuses to inject when it's not confident. The honest configuration. |
**Shape B** (`InjectPlaybookMisses` in `internal/matrix/playbook.go`): when warm-pass retrieval doesn't already include a playbook hit's answer, append a synthetic Result with distance = `playbook_hit_distance × BoostFactor`. Caller re-sorts + truncates. Documented at `playbook.go:22-27` since v0; v3 shipped the implementation. v4 added the split-threshold defense (`DefaultPlaybookMaxInjectDistance = 0.20` while boost stays at 0.50) — boost is safe at loose thresholds because it only re-ranks results already in retrieval; inject is structurally riskier so its threshold is tighter.
OOD honesty (dental hygienist / RN / software engineer queries) holds across all three runs — judge rates them 1, system doesn't fabricate matches. Cross-corpus boosts (e- ↔ w- swaps) confirmed in v1 + v3.
Evidence: `reports/reality-tests/playbook_lift_{001,002,003}.{json,md}`. Per the report's rubric (lift ≥ 50% = matrix doing real work), 6/6 paraphrase recovery is the validation that matters — verbatim replay is structurally the easy case.
**v3 → v4 is the configuration evolution.** v3 ran with one threshold (0.5) for both boost and inject — paraphrase recovery hit 6/6 but a single strong recording (w-4435 for "OSHA-30 forklift Wisconsin") cross-pollinated to OOD queries (dental hygienist / RN / software engineer) because their text vectors fell within 0.5 cosine. v4 split: boost stays at 0.5 (safe — only re-ranks existing results), inject tightens to 0.20 (true paraphrase territory). Result: OOD cross-pollination eliminated, paraphrase recovery 6/8, verbatim lift 6/8. The two paraphrases that missed (Q9, Q15) were liberally rephrased — drift > 0.20 cosine.
### Harness expansion (2026-04-30 ~05:30 CDT)
`scripts/playbook_lift.sh` rewritten from a 5-daemon stripped harness to the **full 10-daemon prod-realistic stack** (chatd stays up independently). The 5-daemon version was structurally hiding bugs; expanding the daemon set surfaced 7 distinct fixes:
| # | Fix | Lock |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | driver→matrixd: `query` → `query_text` field name | `cmd/matrixd/main_test.go` TestPlaybookRecord_OldFieldNameRejected |
| 2 | harness toml missing `[s3]` block | inline comment in `scripts/playbook_lift.sh` |
| 3 | harness→queryd: `q` → `sql` field name | `cmd/queryd/main_test.go` TestHandleSQL_WrongFieldName_400 |
| 4 | 5→10 daemon boot order | inline comment + dep-ordered launch |
| 5 | SQL surface probe (3-row CSV → COUNT=3) | `[lift] ✓ SQL surface probe passed` assertion |
| 6 | `candidates` corpus was SWE-tech, not staffing | swapped to `ethereal_workers.parquet` (10K rows, real staffing schema, "e-" id prefix) |
| 7 | `qwen3.5:latest` is vision-SSM 256K-ctx → 30s/judge | reverted `local_judge` to `qwen2.5:latest` (1s/judge, 30× faster) |
### R-005 closed (2026-04-30 ~05:35 CDT)
Four new `cmd/<bin>/main_test.go` files — chi router-level contract tests:
- `cmd/matrixd/main_test.go` (123 lines) — playbook record drift detector + score bounds + 6 routes mounted
- `cmd/queryd/main_test.go` (extended) — wrong-field-name drift detector
- `cmd/pathwayd/main_test.go` (102 lines) — 9 routes + add round-trip + retire-nonexistent
- `cmd/observerd/main_test.go` (98 lines) — 4 routes + invalid-op 400 + unknown-mode 400
`go test ./cmd/{matrixd,queryd,pathwayd,observerd}` all green. R-005 from prior STATE OPEN list is closed.

- `qwen3.5:latest` IS available locally on this box. Opus's hub-only knowledge is a known-stale signal; the chatd_smoke uses it daily.
- `temperature` is **omitted** for Anthropic 4.7 (handled by `Request.Temperature *float64`); don't re-add it.
- chatd-smoke runs with **all cloud providers disabled** intentionally so the suite doesn't depend on API keys; that's why it can't catch B-3-class bugs (those need a fake-server fixture, see Sprint 0 follow-up).

| Item | What | When to act |
|---|---|---|
| **Reality test for the 5-loop substrate** | `playbook_lift_001.json` exists at `reports/reality-tests/` but the harness hasn't been run against real queries yet (J held it). Driver: `scripts/playbook_lift.sh`. Needs J's 20+ staffing queries in `tests/reality/playbook_lift_queries.txt` first (5 placeholders shipped). | When J supplies queries OR explicitly green-lights running with placeholders. |
| **`cmd/{matrixd,observerd,pathwayd}/main_test.go` absent** | 3 new daemons each mount ≥4 routes with no wiring test. Original 6 binaries all closed via `0f79bce`. New gap reopens R-005. | ~1 hr pattern-match against `cmd/storaged/main_test.go`. Cheap. |
| **Reality test v4: re-judge warm results** | Current lift metric counts "warm top-1 == cold judge best." Shape B cross-pollinates recorded answers across queries (run #003 dropped verbatim-lift 7→2 because w-4435 surfaced as warm top-1 for several queries whose cold-judge-best was a different worker). True quality lift would re-judge warm results and measure judge agreement. ~30 min — adds a 4th pass to the driver. | Next time we want to measure Shape B's actual quality, not rank-of-original-judge-best. |
| **Adjacent-query cross-pollination** | After v4's split threshold, OOD cross-pollination is gone but Q6 ("Forklift-certified loader") ↔ Q7 ("Hazmat-certified warehouse worker, cold storage") still swap recordings as warm top-1 because their embeddings are within 0.20 cosine of each other. Likely correct (genuinely similar staffing queries), but worth verifying with the v4 re-judge metric — if the judge agrees both directions are good matches, accept; if not, tighten further (e.g. 0.15) or add a same-query-only mode. | Co-decision with v4 re-judge. |
| **Liberal-paraphrase recovery loss** | Q9 + Q15 in run #004 lost paraphrase recovery because qwen2.5 rephrased liberally enough to drift past 0.20 inject threshold. Acceptable (system refusing to inject when not confident), but might be tightenable with a different paraphrase prompt (more conservative wording variation) or a per-pair `paraphrase_max_drift` measurement. Cosmetic vs. real depends on whether realistic coordinator queries drift like qwen2.5's rephrases do. | When real coordinator queries are available for a calibration run. |
| **Sprint 4 — deployment** | No `REPLICATION.md`, `secrets-go.toml.example`, `deploy/systemd/<bin>.service`, `Dockerfile`. Largest open Sprint. Required input for any G5 cutover plan. | When G5 cutover is on the table. |
| **ADR-005 — observer fail-safe semantics** | Observer ported but the upstream "verdict:accept on crash" anti-pattern still has no Go-side decision locked. Doc-only, ~30 min. | Before observer is wired into production paths. |
| **ADR-006 — auth posture for non-loopback deploy** | Locks R-001 + R-007 from "opt-in middleware exists" to "wired-by-default for X, opt-in for Y." Doc-only, ~1 hr. | Required before any Go binary binds non-loopback in prod. |
| **chatd fixture-mode storage half** | `g2_smoke_fixtures.sh` closed embed half via fake_ollama; storage half (mock S3) still deferred. Closes R-006 fully. | When CI box without MinIO is needed. |
| **Distillation full port** | `57d0df1` shipped scorer + contamination firewall (E partial); SFT export pipeline + audit_baselines lineage not yet ported. | When distillation is needed for production. |

---
(Future ADRs from ADR-005 onward will be added as the Go
implementation accrues design decisions — e.g. observer fail-safe
semantics, distillation rebuild, gRPC adapter wire format, etc.)
## ADR-005: Observer fail-safe semantics
**Date:** 2026-04-30
**Status:** RATIFIED
**Scope:** `internal/observer` (Store, Persistor) + `internal/workflow` (Runner) + `cmd/observerd`
The Rust legacy had a documented "verdict:accept on crash" anti-pattern:
when the observer crashed mid-evaluation, the upstream interpreted the
missing verdict as implicit acceptance. Several silent regressions traced
to it. The Go observer's role is structurally different — it is a
**witness** (records what happened) rather than a **gate** (decides
accept/reject) — but adjacent fail-safe decisions still need locking
now that observerd is on the prod-realistic stack via the lift harness
(commit `b2e45f7`, 2026-04-30). This ADR ratifies the current behavior
and locks the rationale so future consumers don't break the invariant
by flipping the defaults.
### Decision 5.1 — Persist failure is logged-not-fatal; ring is the in-flight source of truth
Already implemented (`internal/observer/store.go:60-67`). Locked:
- If `persistor.Append` fails, log a warning and continue. Do NOT
return an error to the caller of `Store.Record`.
- The in-memory ring buffer is the source of truth in flight; the
JSONL is a best-effort durability shadow.
- Operators who need fail-closed audit-grade trails configure that
mode through a future opt-in (deferred to a later ADR; not the
G0/G1/G2 default).
**Why fail-open here:** the observer's job is to keep recording even
when the disk hiccups. A `persist-fail-fatal` mode would translate
every transient I/O blip into an observer-blackout, which is strictly
worse for the witness role than missing a few persisted entries — the
ring still has them, and operators can drain it on restart.
**Why this isn't the Rust anti-pattern:** the Go observer doesn't
emit verdicts. A persist failure here means "we recorded fewer rows
on disk than in memory," not "we accepted something we shouldn't have."
### Decision 5.2 — Mode failure in workflow.Runner: `Success = (Error == "")`, no panic-swallow path
Already implemented (`internal/workflow/runner.go`). Locked:
- Mode errors are caught by the runner and surfaced via the node's
`Error` field; `Success` is the boolean derived from `Error == ""`.
- `observerd` records an `ObservedOp` per node with `Success: false`
and the error string when a mode fails.
- Cycles, missing-deps, and unknown modes are aborting errors → 4xx
from `/observer/workflow/run` with the failure encoded in the JSON
response.
**Why this is the explicit anti-Rust:** allowing a mode to silently
swallow its panic and report `Success: true` is exactly how the Rust
"verdict:accept on crash" pattern manifests. Forcing the runner to
record `Success: false` on error makes the failure observable to
downstream consumers (observerd queries, scrum review, distillation
selection) instead of laundering it into a fake success.
### Decision 5.3 — Provenance is one-row-per-node, recorded post-run
Already implemented (`cmd/observerd/main.go:140-154`). Locked:
- `runner.Run` returns the full `RunResult` with per-node Success/Error;
`handleWorkflowRun` then iterates `res.Nodes` and `store.Record`s an
`ObservedOp` per node.
- One row per node, NOT a single per-workflow catch-all. A workflow with
N nodes produces N audit rows.
- Crash semantics:
- Crash *during* `runner.Run` → no provenance recorded; queries see
absence, not a false acceptance.
- Crash *during* the recording loop → some nodes recorded, some
absent; queries see partial provenance, again not a false
acceptance.
- Recovery: re-run the whole workflow. No incremental resume in G0/G1/G2.
**Why one row per node:** debugging a partial workflow is a one-grep
operation when each node has its own row. A single catch-all row would
be exactly the Rust anti-pattern surface — "we accepted this workflow"
records that survive partial crashes look identical to genuine
acceptances. Per-node-row makes that structurally impossible.
**Known gap, not yet a follow-up ADR:** recording happens after
`runner.Run` returns, not as each node completes. A long workflow with
late-stage failure currently records nodes that already finished only
once the runner returns. For G0/G1/G2 substrate this is fine —
workflows are short. When workflows get long enough that mid-run
visibility matters, a streaming-record callback is the right shape.
### Decision 5.4 — `/observer/event` accepts even when the ring is full
Already implemented via `Store.Record`'s shift-left eviction. Locked:
- Ring overflow is normal operation: oldest evicted, newest accepted.
- 200 OK from `/observer/event` means "we accepted into the ring"; it
does NOT promise "we persisted." Persistence remains best-effort
per Decision 5.1.
- 4xx is reserved for malformed `ObservedOp` payloads (validation
failures).
**Why accept-on-full:** treating a full ring as a 503 would translate
every brief activity burst into client errors, which is exactly the
wrong direction for an audit witness — the witness's job is to never
refuse to write, only to lose oldest data when capacity binds.
### Alternatives considered
- **Persist-required mode** — caller-configurable fail-closed for
audit-grade workloads. The right approach when this lands is an
opt-in on `Store` construction, leaving the default fail-open.
Deferred to a future ADR.
- **Distributed ring with WAL** — persist before accept-into-ring,
sync semantics. Too heavy for G0/G1 and breaks the ring's "in-flight
source of truth" property.
- **Mode-result schema with explicit verdict field** — would force
every mode to declare accept/reject. Overengineered for the witness
role and reintroduces the gate-vs-witness confusion this ADR is
trying to avoid.
### What this ADR does NOT do
- **No retention policy.** "How long do we keep observer entries on
disk?" is a separate operations decision.
- **No mode-level retry.** If a mode fails, the runner records that
and moves on. Whether to retry is a workflow-definition concern
(Archon-style retry policies in the YAML), not the runner's.
- **No cross-process recovery.** A crashed observerd loses the ring;
the persistor preserves what it managed to write. Operators read the
JSONL after restart, not query a dead daemon.
- **No persist-required opt-in.** Mentioned in alternatives; lands in
a separate ADR when an audit-grade consumer requires it.
### How this closes the OPEN list
STATE_OF_PLAY listed ADR-005 as a doc-only gate before observer wired
into production paths. The 2026-04-30 lift run wired observerd into the
prod-realistic harness boot, which means observer is now on the data
path for every reality test workflow. This ADR locks the fail-safe
invariants before the next consumer (scrum runner, distillation rebuild,
or a real production workflow) takes a hard behavioral dependency.

## Honesty caveats
1. **Judge IS the ground truth proxy.** Without human-labeled relevance, the LLM
judge's verdict is what defines "best." If `qwen2.5:latest` rates badly,
the lift number is meaningless. To validate the judge itself, sample 5–10
verdicts manually and check agreement.
2. **Score-1.0 boost = distance halved.** Playbook math is
`distance' = distance × (1 - 0.5 × score)`. Lift requires the judge-best
result's pre-boost distance to be ≤ 2× the cold top-1's distance, otherwise
even halving doesn't promote it. Tight clusters → little visible lift.
3. **Same-query replay is the cheap case.** Real lift comes from *similar but
not identical* queries hitting a recorded playbook. This run only tests
verbatim replay. A v2 should add paraphrase queries.
4. **Multi-corpus skew.** Default corpora=`workers,ethereal_workers` — if all judge-best
results land in one corpus, the matrix layer's purpose isn't being tested.
Check per-corpus distribution in the JSON.
5. **Judge resolution.** This run used `qwen2.5:latest` from
env JUDGE_MODEL overrideqwen2.5:latest.
Bumping the judge for run #N+1 means editing one line in lakehouse.toml.
## Next moves
- If lift rate ≥ 50% of discoveries: matrix layer + playbook is doing real
work. Move to paraphrase queries + tag-based boost (currently ignored).
- If lift rate < 20%: investigate why — judge variance, distance gap too
wide, or playbook math too gentle. The score=1.0 / 0.5× formula may need
retuning.
- If discovery rate (cold judge-best ≠ top-1) is itself low: cosine is
already close to optimal on this query distribution. Either the corpus
is too narrow or the queries are too easy.

## Paraphrase pass — does the playbook help similar-but-different queries?
For each query whose Pass 1 cold pass recorded a playbook entry, the
judge model rephrased the query, and the rephrased version was sent
through warm matrix.search. The recorded answer ID's rank in those
results tests whether cosine on the embedded paraphrase finds the
recorded query's vector.
| # | Original (≤40c) | Paraphrase (≤60c) | Recorded answer | Paraphrase top-1 | Recorded rank | Paraphrase lift |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | Hazmat-certified warehouse worker comfor | Warehouse worker with Hazmat certification and experience in | e-665 | e-4910 | -1 | no |
| 13 | Reliable production line lead with stron | Experienced production line supervisor with excellent punctu | e-5778 | w-1950 | -1 | no |
---
## Honesty caveats
1. **Judge IS the ground truth proxy.** Without human-labeled relevance, the LLM
judge's verdict is what defines "best." If `qwen2.5:latest` rates badly,
the lift number is meaningless. To validate the judge itself, sample 5–10
verdicts manually and check agreement.
2. **Score-1.0 boost = distance halved.** Playbook math is
`distance' = distance × (1 - 0.5 × score)`. Lift requires the judge-best
result's pre-boost distance to be ≤ 2× the cold top-1's distance, otherwise
even halving doesn't promote it. Tight clusters → little visible lift.
3. **Verbatim vs paraphrase.** The verbatim lift rate (above) is the cheap
case — same query, recorded playbook, expected boost. The paraphrase
pass (when enabled) is the actual learning property: similar-but-different
queries hitting a recorded playbook. Compare verbatim and paraphrase
lift rates — paraphrase should be lower (semantic-distance gates some
playbook hits) but non-zero is the meaningful signal.
4. **Multi-corpus skew.** Default corpora=`workers,ethereal_workers` — if all judge-best
results land in one corpus, the matrix layer's purpose isn't being tested.
Check per-corpus distribution in the JSON.
5. **Judge resolution.** This run used `qwen2.5:latest` from
env JUDGE_MODEL=qwen2.5:latest.
Bumping the judge for run #N+1 means editing one line in lakehouse.toml.
6. **Paraphrase generation also uses the judge.** The same model that rates
relevance also rephrases queries. A judge that's bad at rating staffing
queries is probably also bad at rephrasing them. Worth sanity-checking
a sample of `paraphrase_query` values in the JSON before trusting the
paraphrase lift number.
## Next moves
- If lift rate ≥ 50% of discoveries: matrix layer + playbook is doing real
work. Move to paraphrase queries + tag-based boost (currently ignored).
- If lift rate < 20%: investigate why — judge variance, distance gap too
wide, or playbook math too gentle. The score=1.0 / 0.5× formula may need
retuning.
- If discovery rate (cold judge-best ≠ top-1) is itself low: cosine is
already close to optimal on this query distribution. Either the corpus

## Paraphrase pass — does the playbook help similar-but-different queries?
For each query whose Pass 1 cold pass recorded a playbook entry, the
judge model rephrased the query, and the rephrased version was sent
through warm matrix.search. The recorded answer ID's rank in those
results tests whether cosine on the embedded paraphrase finds the
recorded query's vector.

\`distance' = distance × (1 - 0.5 × score)\`. Lift requires the judge-best
result's pre-boost distance to be ≤ 2× the cold top-1's distance, otherwise
even halving doesn't promote it. Tight clusters → little visible lift.
3. **Same-query replay is the cheap case.** Real lift comes from *similar but
not identical* queries hitting a recorded playbook. This run only tests
verbatim replay. A v2 should add paraphrase queries.
3. **Verbatim vs paraphrase.** The verbatim lift rate (above) is the cheap
case — same query, recorded playbook, expected boost. The paraphrase
pass (when enabled) is the actual learning property: similar-but-different
queries hitting a recorded playbook. Compare verbatim and paraphrase
lift rates — paraphrase should be lower (semantic-distance gates some
playbook hits) but non-zero is the meaningful signal.
4. **Multi-corpus skew.** Default corpora=\`${CORPORA}\` — if all judge-best
results land in one corpus, the matrix layer's purpose isn't being tested.
Check per-corpus distribution in the JSON.
5. **Judge resolution.** This run used \`${EFFECTIVE_JUDGE}\` from
${JUDGE_MODEL:+env JUDGE_MODEL override}${JUDGE_MODEL:-the lakehouse.toml [models].local_judge tier}.
${JUDGE_SOURCE}.
Bumping the judge for run #N+1 means editing one line in lakehouse.toml.
6. **Paraphrase generation also uses the judge.** The same model that rates
relevance also rephrases queries. A judge that's bad at rating staffing
queries is probably also bad at rephrasing them. Worth sanity-checking
a sample of \`paraphrase_query\` values in the JSON before trusting the
paraphrase lift number.

# each through matrix.search (cold pass, then warm pass with playbook),
# ask the LLM judge to rate top-K results, and record lift metrics.
#
# Goal: 20 queries, weighted toward the kinds of asks a staffing
# coordinator would actually issue. Specific roles + certifications +
# constraints surface playbook lift better than generic "find a worker"
# style queries.
# Lift only fires when the judge picks something different from cosine
# top-1, so queries are weighted toward multi-constraint asks where
# cosine has to compromise. Single-axis queries ("forklift operator")
# give cosine an easy win and the harness can't tell if the playbook
# is doing anything.
#
# Placeholders (5) — J: replace + extend to 20+ for the real test.
# 21 queries, 7 categories × 3 each (OOD = 2 + 1 buffer).
