+# Phase 4 — Dataset Export Layer Report
+
+**Run:** 2026-04-27 · branch `scrum/auto-apply-19814` head c989253+ (uncommitted Phase 4 work)
+**Spec:** `/home/profit/now.md` — Phase 4a/b/c
+
+## Summary
+
+The dataset export layer ships RAG, SFT, and Preference datasets from the materialized + scored substrate built in Phases 0-3. Each exporter:
+- Reads scored-runs, joins to evidence by run_id
+- Applies category gates + provenance gates + content gates
+- Validates every output row against its schema
+- Routes rejections to `exports/quarantine/<exporter>.jsonl` with structured reasons
+- Produces deterministic IDs (sha256 over evidence_run_id + sig_hash)
+- Idempotent: re-running produces zero new rows
+
+## Files added (8)

+The 536 `unsafe_sft_category` quarantines = exact count of `rejected`+`needs_human_review` records in scored-runs. Every forbidden category was caught before write.

+
+### Sample exported records
+
+**RAG (accepted scrum_review):**
+```json
+{"id":"rag-b16f0a66f021e211","title":"# Review: `crates/vectord/src/playbook_memory.rs` vs. Lakeho","success_score":"accepted","source_run_id":"scrum:1776910485757:crates/vectord/src/playbook_memory.rs","tags":["task:scrum_review","category:accepted","role:executor"]}
+```
+
+**SFT (instruction → response from accepted run):**
+```json
+{"id":"sft-...","instruction":"Review the file 'crates/...' against the PRD + change-proposal context...","context":"matrix=lakehouse_arch_v1,lakehouse_symbols_v1 · model=...","response":"# Review: ...","quality_score":"accepted",...}
+```
+
+**Preference (chosen_rejected pair):**
+```json
+{"id":"pref-...","prompt":"Task: scrum_review:<file>","chosen":"<accepted text>","rejected":"<rejected text>","reason":"chosen scored 'accepted' | rejected scored 'rejected' | chosen-rationale: ...","chosen_run_id":"scrum:...","rejected_run_id":"scrum:...",...}
+```
+
+### Sample quarantined records
+
+**unsafe_sft_category (the firewall in action):**
+```json
+{"exporter":"sft","reason":"unsafe_sft_category","source_record":{...,"category":"rejected"},"errors":["category=rejected forbidden in SFT (spec non-negotiable)"],...}
+```
+
+**empty_content (RAG):**
+```json
+{"exporter":"rag","reason":"empty_content","source_record":{...},"errors":["evidence.text is empty/missing — RAG needs content"],...}
+```
+
+**invalid_preference_pairing:**
+```json
+{"exporter":"preference","reason":"invalid_preference_pairing","source_record":{...},"errors":["chosen and rejected texts identical"],...}
+```
+
+## Invariants enforced (proven by tests + real-data run)
+
+1. **No leak into SFT** — `quality_score` schema enum bars rejected/needs_human at write time; exporter filter bars them at read time. Defense in depth.
+2. **No fabricated preference pairs** — only same-task_id with category gap. Never invents pairs from unrelated records.
+3. **No empty content** — RAG and SFT both reject whitespace-only `text`/`response`/`instruction`.
+4. **Provenance on every row** — schema enforces; exporter quarantines on missing.
+5. **Deterministic IDs** — sha256(evidence_run_id + sig_hash) gives byte-stable IDs across reruns.
+6. **Idempotent** — exporter re-reads existing output, dedupes by ID.
+7. **No silent drops** — every input row is either exported OR quarantined with structured reason.
+
+## Quarantine taxonomy (11 reasons)
+
+```
+missing_provenance, missing_source_run_id, empty_content, schema_violation,
+unsafe_sft_category, unsafe_rag_category, invalid_preference_pairing,
+hallucinated_file_path, duplicate_id, self_pairing, category_disallowed
+```
+
+## Known limitations
+
+- **mode_experiments 168 records all needs_human** (Phase 3 carry-over). Once their scoring transform derives markers from grounding/latency, the SFT eligible pool grows substantially.
+- **Extraction-class records (distilled_*, audit_facts, observer_escalations) excluded from SFT** — they have no instruction→response shape. Phase 3 v2 JOIN-to-parent strategy could unlock them.
+- **Preference dataset is small (83 pairs)** — limited by how rarely we have accepted+rejected on the same task_id today. Most scrum_reviews land 'accepted' or 'partially' for the file; rejection is per-attempt within the ladder, not per-file. Future improvement: pair scrum_reviews against observer_reviews on the same file when they disagree.
+- **`--include-partial` not exercised in real run** — 132 partial records would expand SFT to ~483 if opted in.
+- **Hallucinated file path check NOT implemented** — quarantine reason `hallucinated_file_path` is reserved but no exporter currently asserts that referenced files exist on disk. Adding this requires a fs lookup per row and a config of which fields contain paths.
+
+## Recommendation for Phase 5 (Receipts Harness)
+
+Each exporter currently emits to stdout + writes export files but does NOT emit a per-stage `reports/distillation/<ts>/receipt.json`. Phase 5 wraps each exporter (and the existing build_evidence_index + score_runs) in a `withReceipt()` helper that:
+
+- Captures git_sha + git_branch + git_dirty
+- sha256 of every input file + every output file + bytes
+- record_counts (in / out / quarantined / by_category)
+- validation_pass: boolean derived from quarantine count or explicit error gate
+- duration_ms
+
+Phase 2 + Phase 3 already emit Receipt-conforming JSON; Phase 5 generalizes the pattern so all 5 pipeline stages share one harness. The harness can also write `reports/distillation/latest.md` aggregating the most recent run of each stage.
+
+## Acceptance gate — Phase 4 done?
+
+- [x] all Phase 4 exporters exist (RAG, SFT, Preference)
+- [x] all export schemas validate (51 schema tests)
+- [x] all tests pass (117 distillation tests · 0 fail)
+- [x] real data export succeeds (446 RAG + 351 SFT + 83 Preference rows)
+- [x] SFT leak-prevention proven by tests (3 explicit no-leak cases) AND by real-data inspection (351/351 are 'accepted')
+- [x] quarantine populated where appropriate (606+701+16 rows with structured reasons)
+- [x] phase report exists (this file)
+- [ ] changes committed and pushed (next step)
