Consolidation decision — closed as an unsafe scientific-acceptance vehicle

This PR is preserved as RED/review lineage, but it must not land independently. Its useful cutoff-safe run-binding and metric-evidence ideas fold into the Validation bounded-context landing work tracked by #166 and the queue-authority recovery vehicle #435. The current branch is not an acceptable owner of global Scientific Claim Promotion.

Why this vehicle is closed

Fresh review of exact head df33bfa3e61ae4de3dbfae16df0deac12d2f4003 still shows unresolved scientific defects that are architectural, not cosmetic:

  • the generic |RMSE| <= k * SE(RMSE) gate is mathematically unsafe because a residual vector such as [M, 0, ..., 0] can preserve the RMSE/SE ratio while absolute error grows without bound;
  • caller-provided recovery vectors and an authored_by_llm boolean are not estimator-owned provenance and therefore cannot establish that evidence came from the bound CPU f64 estimator/truth artifacts;
  • scientific_acceptance_v1 omits applicability/status for required recovery dimensions such as convergence, graph recovery, longitudinal invariance and CPU/GPU parity;
  • this application-layer run executor conflates Validation Evidence with Scientific Claim Promotion, contrary to the DDD boundary established by docs(ddd): restore queue authority and bounded-context ownership #435.

Bounding or preregistering k does not repair the scale-invariant gate. Adding more booleans to this artifact would also not repair provenance ownership.

What must be preserved when folded

The next coherent Validation landing vehicle should preserve and re-verify the useful pieces from this branch:

  • tenant/snapshot/knowledge-cutoff/evidence-set/model/seed/backend/precision binding;
  • deterministic eligible-evidence ordering and run identity;
  • bounded recovery artifact sizes;
  • metric computation for RMSE, bias, interval coverage and temporal-order evidence;
  • immutable evidence serialization and exact-head provenance tests.

But it must change the authority model:

  1. estimator/truth artifacts are produced and digested by their owning Rust execution/recovery path, not declared by an arbitrary caller;
  2. Validation Evidence reports metrics and applicability without declaring global scientific acceptance;
  3. Scientific Claim Promotion is a separate aggregate/policy owned by the scientific-validation boundary and consumes formulation-specific preregistered recovery contracts;
  4. every required dimension is explicitly passing, failing, or not_applicable with evidence; absence cannot mean pass;
  5. Monte Carlo uncertainty/coverage and realistic known-truth recovery replace the self-referential generic RMSE-SE gate.

No source is deleted by closing this PR. Its branch, commits, review threads, tests and doctoring remain available for evidence-preserving fold/reimplementation. Do not reopen this exact vehicle merely to weaken the gate or rename the boolean.

GAP-003A first slice for issue #166. submit_validation_run binds
cutoff-eligible evidence, snapshot, knowledge cutoff, CPU f64 model,
seed, backend, and precision to a hash-stable tepp-validation-{32 hex}
receipt that carries no scientific metrics. complete_validation_run
emits tepp.scientific_acceptance.v1 through validation_core (RMSE, bias,
Wilson coverage, temporal-order accuracy, SE-aware gate).

LLM-authored recovery, non-finite inputs, empty or duplicate evidence,
snapshot mismatch, and cutoff-empty corpora fail closed. Not
implemented-main. Postgres persistence remains GAP-003B.

ADR 0026.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f51d0

The PR adds a validation-run path that can produce scientific-acceptance evidence from caller-supplied recovery data and caller-declared provenance, while repeated completion or equivalent cross-tenant inputs are not uniquely controlled. This could result in acceptance evidence that is not reliably attributable to the intended computation. The issues are bounded to the current library slice, but merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

This comment was marked as resolved.

Refuse completion when recovery vectors belong to a different run,
tenant, seed, or eligible evidence set. Include tenant workspace and
output profile in the canonical digest so a tampered profile cannot
pass. Bound recovery vector length and record a SHA-256 of the stamped
vectors on tepp.scientific_acceptance.v1. Evidence fields stay private
after completion.

This is still the GAP-003A library slice (ADR 0026). It is not
implemented-main and does not persist runs (GAP-003B).

🔍 Acceptance scope remains ambiguous

scientific_acceptance_v1 omits applicability and status for graph recovery, invariance, convergence, and CPU/GPU parity. The repository contract requires these dimensions when relevant.

GAP-003A Devin repair on #356. se_gate_k is part of the submitted
scientific binding, not a completion-time choice. Changing k changes
run identity. k must be finite, non-negative, and at most
MAX_SE_GATE_K = 8. RecoveryObservation must match the receipt k;
post-hoc or oversized multipliers fail closed. Receipt fields are
private. Empty and length-mismatched recovery vectors fail at
construction.

Wasserstein and Lazar (2016) refuse post-hoc threshold shopping.
Not implemented-main. Postgres persistence remains GAP-003B.

🔴 Catastrophic recovery passes acceptance

With one nonzero residual, accept_within_standard_errors sees RMSE exactly two standard errors from zero, regardless of magnitude. Any k >= 2 accepts arbitrarily inaccurate recovery.

Prompt for agents
Redesign the scientific-acceptance gate in crates/analysis_engine/src/validation_run.rs. The current comparison uses RMSE and a standard error estimated from the same heterogeneous residual vector. For residuals [M, 0, ..., 0], RMSE / SE(RMSE) equals 2 for every finite M, so the conventional k=3 accepts unbounded error. Bind a scientifically meaningful, pre-registered RMSE tolerance or a Monte Carlo uncertainty design into ValidationRunReceipt and CanonicalBinding, then evaluate recovery against that criterion. Add a regression test with one extremely large residual and otherwise exact recovery, and preserve the existing fail-closed validation and binding checks.

📝 Info: Transport keys do not alter bindings

idempotency_key is validated but excluded from CanonicalBinding. Equivalent scientific inputs therefore retain one identity across transport retry keys.

GAP-003A Devin repair on #358. Terminal artifacts now fail closed on
negative RMSE/SEs, coverage/Wilson/temporal-order outside [0, 1],
inverted Wilson bounds, se_gate_accepted inconsistent with
|RMSE| <= k * SE(RMSE), k > MAX_SE_GATE_K, a model that does not match
the request, a future or malformed cutoff, and a run_id that is not
tepp-validation-{first 32 hex of binding_sha256}. Receipt metric
detection covers both standard errors, Wilson upper, and temporal-order
accuracy.

Not implemented-main. Engine binding remains #356. Persistence remains
GAP-003B.

Hour-20 exact-head review request.

Current head df33bfa3e61ae4de3dbfae16df0deac12d2f4003. Devin/CodeRabbit/author COMMENTED is not independent APPROVE. OpenCode DISMISSED/REQUEST_CHANGES on predecessor heads does not transfer. Ruleset 18156473 needs two independent APPROVE reviews on this exact SHA.

GAP-003A engine-library. No Compose persistence here (#287 / GAP-003B). Do not duplicate analysis_engine.

Do not self-approve. Do not --admin merge. Checks/reviews are not a reason to weaken fail-closed gates.

Current-head consolidation review: this remains the preferred Analysis Run validation-evidence landing candidate, but it is not merge-ready and should not publish scientific_acceptance_v1 as global claim authority yet.

Verified blockers on df33bfa3e61ae4de3dbfae16df0deac12d2f4003:

  1. The current gate is RMSE <= k * SE(RMSE) with the SE computed from the same residual vector. A residual pattern with one arbitrarily large error and otherwise exact recovery can keep the RMSE/SE ratio bounded, so a finite conventional k can accept unbounded scientific error. MAX_SE_GATE_K therefore does not solve the root problem, and a generic k/SE rule is not an acceptable evidence-derived threshold.
  2. RecoveryObservation still receives caller-supplied truth/recovered/interval/time vectors and trusts an authored_by_llm boolean. Scientific evidence must instead bind the known-truth artifact and estimator-owned CPU f64 output by identity/digest, and derive provenance from those verified artifacts.
  3. The artifact does not yet express applicability/status for graph recovery, invariance, convergence, and active-backend CPU/GPU parity, so it cannot truthfully represent repository-wide scientific acceptance.

DDD correction for the landing vehicle:

  • Validation Evidence is the aggregate produced here: method-specific recovery, bias, coverage, temporal ordering, graph/invariance/convergence/parity evidence with estimator-bound provenance.
  • Scientific Claim Promotion is a separate decision aggregate governed by ADR 0014. It consumes a preregistered, method-specific complete evidence contract and may return incomplete/rejected/promotable; it is not an HTTP receipt and it is not a generic RMSE SE multiplier.
  • analysis_engine owns run lifecycle/composition. It must not silently become the owner of psychometric acceptance mathematics or release-claim policy.

This PR is being returned to Draft while those current-head scientific and boundary defects remain. Preserve the existing binding, tenant, cutoff, bounded-vector, and deterministic identity work; repair rather than replace that evidence.

Current-head scientific blocker remains valid after review. The existing RMSE <= k * SE(RMSE) diagnostic cannot be used as a scientific-acceptance gate: for a residual vector with one arbitrarily large nonzero residual and otherwise exact recovery, RMSE/SE(RMSE) is scale-invariant, so a finite k can accept unbounded absolute error. Bounding or preregistering k does not repair that defect.

DDD correction for this branch: treat it as Validation Evidence, not Scientific Claim Promotion. Preserve the useful cutoff-safe run binding and metric artifact, but do not allow se_gate_accepted (or a renamed equivalent) to confer scientific authority. Claim promotion belongs to the separate ADR 0014 aggregate and must consume a method-specific preregistered recovery contract, including applicability/status for parameter recovery, RMSE/bias/coverage, convergence, graph recovery, invariance, and active CPU/GPU parity where relevant.

The other unresolved provenance finding is also still material: caller-supplied vectors plus authored_by_llm=false are not estimator-owned provenance. Completion must bind known-truth artifacts and the actual CPU-f64 estimator output by immutable identity/digest before those metrics can be eligible evidence.

I attempted to convert this PR back to Draft while these blockers remain; the connector's GitHub GraphQL mutation currently fails on an upstream schema-field error, so no metadata change was made. Do not merge the current head df33bfa3e61ae4de3dbfae16df0deac12d2f4003.
