GOLAKE-100. First run writes tests/proof/baseline.json; subsequent
runs diff against it. >10% regression emits a SKIP with REGRESSION
detail (not a fail — perf claim is required:false in claims.yaml so
the gate stays green; the human summary tells the regression story
honestly). Skip-with-loud-reason if any earlier case in the run
failed, per spec "performance only after contract+integration pass."
Workload (deterministic, repeatable):
ingest 1000-row CSV (5 roles × 5 cities × seeded scores) → /v1/ingest
query SELECT count(*) ×20 against the just-ingested dataset
vector add 200 dim=4 vectors with formulaic content (no Ollama)
search ×20 against the perf index with a fixed query vector
RSS per-service post-workload sample via /proc/<pid>/status
Recorded metrics:
ingest_rows_per_sec, query_p50_ms, query_p95_ms,
vectors_per_sec_add, search_p50_ms, search_p95_ms,
rss_{storaged,catalogd,ingestd,queryd,vectord,embedd,gateway}_mb
baseline.json on this box (committed):
25000 rows/sec ingest · 17ms p50 / 24ms p95 query
6250 vectors/sec add · 8ms p50 / 20ms p95 search
queryd 69 MiB · vectord 14 MiB · others 11-29 MiB
Honest measurement-design finding from the very first compare run:
back-to-back runs surfaced -41% ingest and +29% query p50 — pure
disk-cache + queryd-cold-start noise. Single-sample baselines have
real noise floor ≈40%. Recorded as REGRESSION skips so the human
summary surfaces it, not a code regression. Tightening the threshold
or moving to multi-sample medians is a Phase E recommendation.
Verified end-to-end:
just proof contract — 53 pass · 1 skip · ~4s
just proof integration — 104 pass · 1 skip · ~8s
just proof performance — 110 pass · 3 skip · ~10s
just verify — 9 smokes still green · 29s
All 11 cases (4 contract + 6 integration + 1 performance) deterministic
end-to-end. Phase E (final report against the 9 mandated questions)
is the last piece.

tests/proof — claims-verification harness
Per docs/TEST_PROOF_SCOPE.md. The 9 smokes prove that the system runs; this harness proves that the system makes the claims it claims to make.
Why this exists
Smokes verify that services boot, talk, and pass deterministic round-trips. They do not verify:
- contract drift (a route silently changes its response shape)
- semantic correctness (the SQL query says what we claim it says)
- failure-mode discipline (a malformed request returns 4xx, not silent 200)
- performance regressions (vectors/sec drops 30% on a refactor)
The proof harness produces evidence, not pass/fail. Each case writes input/output hashes, latencies, status codes, log paths, git SHA → a future auditor can re-run + diff.

Modes
just proof contract # APIs, schemas, status codes; no big data; ~30s
just proof integration # full chain CSV→storaged→…→queryd, text→embedd→vectord
just proof performance # measurements only; runs after contract+integration
The just recipes wrap tests/proof/run_proof.sh with --mode <X>. Use the script directly for advanced flags (--no-bootstrap, --regenerate-rankings, --regenerate-baseline).
Hard rules (from TEST_PROOF_SCOPE.md)
- Don't claim performance without before/after metrics
- Detect Ollama unavailability; mark embedding tests skipped or degraded with explanation
- Skipped tests do not appear as passed
- No silent ignore of missing services
- No external cloud dependencies
- No "HTTP 200" assertions unless the claim is health-only
- No random data without a seed
How to read a report
After just proof integration:
- Open
tests/proof/reports/proof-<ts>/summary.mdfor the human view. summary.jsonis the machine-readable counterpart.- To investigate a single failed assertion:
- find its
case_idinsummary.md - read
raw/cases/<case_id>.jsonl(each line is one assertion) - cross-reference
raw/http/<case_id>/<probe>.{json,body,headers}for the underlying HTTP round-trip
- find its
Every record cites the git SHA at run time; a clean re-run of the same SHA against the same fixtures must produce identical evidence (modulo timestamps + non-deterministic embedding noise).
