Stress-tests the role gate with 40 queries (10 fill_events rows × 4
styles): need, client_first, looking, shorthand. Each row's role +
client + city stays the same; only the surface phrasing changes.
real_003 (original extractor) confirmed the shorthand-vs-shorthand
failure mode: CNC Operator shorthand recording leaked w-2404 onto
Forklift Operator shorthand query within the same Beacon Freight
Detroit cluster. Both record + query had empty role (extractor
returns "" for shorthand because there's no separator between role
and city), gate disabled, distance check passed, bleed fired.
Fix: extended extractRoleFromNeed to handle client_first
("{client} needs N {role} in...") and looking ("Looking for N
{role} at...") patterns. Shorthand left intentionally unmatched —
"Forklift Operator Detroit" is shape-indistinguishable from
"Forklift" + "Operator Detroit" without an LLM extractor or known-
cities lookup.
real_003b (extended extractor) verifies bleed closed across all 4
styles for this dataset. Forklift Operator queries keep w-2136 (the
cold-pass-correct match) regardless of which style the query came
in. Same-role boosts now fire correctly across styles — a CNC
Operator recording made in `looking` style boosts the CNC need-form
query.
scripts/cutover/gen_real_queries.go: added -styles flag with values
need|client_first|looking|shorthand|all (default need preserves
real_001/002 behavior). Tests/reality/real_coord_queries_v2.txt is
the 40-query stress file.
scripts/playbook_lift/main_test.go: 10 sub-tests lock the four
documented patterns + shorthand limitation + lift-suite-style
queries (no clean role, returns empty as expected).
Aggregate metrics:
- real_003 (original): disc=7, lift=7, boost=14, meanΔ=-0.108
- real_003b (extended): disc=11, lift=10, boost=31, meanΔ=-0.202
The growth reflects more LEGITIMATE same-role same-cluster transfer
firing across styles, not bleed (verified by per-cluster bleed
table — Forklift Operator queries unchanged across all 4 styles).
Known limitation documented in real_003_findings.md: same-cluster,
same-role queries in shorthand still embed close enough that a
shorthand recording could bleed onto a different-role shorthand
query if both record + query strip role. Closing this requires
LLM extraction or known-cities lookup at record + query time.

Honesty caveats
- Judge IS the ground truth proxy. Without human-labeled relevance, the LLM judge's verdict is what defines "best." If `` rates badly, the lift number is meaningless. To validate the judge itself, sample 5–10 verdicts manually and check agreement.
- 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. - 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.
- 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. - Judge resolution. This run used
qwen2.5:latestfrom config [models].local_judge. Bumping the judge for run #N+1 means editing one line in lakehouse.toml. - 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_queryvalues 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 is too narrow or the queries are too easy.
