Current combined scope

PR #982 was merged into this branch, so #976 is now the single landing unit for both longitudinal layers below. Protected-main integration has not occurred; all capabilities described here remain active-PR behavior until this PR lands.

Layer 1 — Rust-owned longitudinal state utilities

  • Independent per-respondent OLS trend (random_intercept_slope wire label); no population random-effects distribution or shrinkage in this utility estimand.
  • Stationary AR prediction with caller-supplied phi; the utility does not estimate the coefficient or its uncertainty.
  • Worker failures, cumulative gap conversion, scale-relative slope degeneracy, missingness and deterministic worker behavior fail closed under the package contracts.

Layer 2 — jointly estimated hierarchical CT-AR Rasch slice

  • Joint MAP binary Rasch measurement with person-occasion latent states.
  • Population mu/tau and a continuous-time AR(1)/OU decay parameter are jointly estimated; states are shrunk toward the population mean.
  • Irregular millisecond observation offsets are converted to elapsed-day transitions.
  • Observed-information Wald state intervals are reported with recovery evidence.
  • Crossed/multiple-membership random effects and a GPU kernel for this new estimand are not claimed here.

Numerical-correctness correction on the current lineage

Exact source head: ed9868c1b3636d0470dc82367e80a43036483018.

The current head fixes the hard-bound consistency defect raised in review:

  • when raw log_sd or log_decay lies outside its supported box, joint_objective now reports a zero raw-coordinate gradient, matching the flat clamped objective;
  • hyperparameter_hessian now fails closed when its symmetric finite-difference stencil reaches the supported log-scale boundary, so collapsed boundary curvature cannot be reported as identified Wald uncertainty; and
  • a Rust regression proves flat clamped objectives/zero raw gradients and identified=false with NaN interval outputs at boundary stencils.

The addressed review thread is resolved on this head. Repository-local CI/Security/CodeQL/Semgrep/ClusterFuzz evidence for this new head is still being regenerated; predecessor-head evidence does not transfer.

Ownership and integration discipline

Production longitudinal/IRT likelihood, state-transition, optimization, Hessian/uncertainty and recovery arithmetic remain Rust-owned. Python validates, marshals, dispatches, exposes immutable result contracts and reports evidence. psychometrics-commons remains downstream and is not an alternate numerical owner.

Keep this PR Draft until exact-current-head hosted evidence is terminal. Ref movement is normal concurrent activity; re-evaluate the current head rather than transferring predecessor checks/reviews. #948 remains citation-only and is not part of this branch.

Land a focused successor to #848 on live main: independent per-respondent
OLS trends and caller-supplied discrete AR predictions, with honest
estimand metadata, fail-closed worker joins, checked AR gaps, and
scale-relative slope degeneracy. Number the decision ADR-0018 so it does
not collide with main ADR-0015 or #948 ADRs 0016/0017.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 17beb

This PR adds longitudinal OLS/AR and hierarchical fitting behavior, but the current estimator can produce unreliable fits or uncertainty estimates near supported hyperparameter bounds, while oversized inputs may consume unnecessary native memory before rejection. These bounded correctness and runtime risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Lane check: longitudinal OLS/AR state stays in fast-mlsirm (ADR-0001 / ADR-0018). Honest estimand is explicit (random_intercept_slope is independent per-respondent OLS, not population RE; AR uses caller-supplied phi). Worker join maps to a package-owned error; AR gaps use checked i32; slope degeneracy is scale-relative. Do not mix #948 citations into this PR.

Not approving (author / last-pusher). Current head still needs terminal required Checks — CodeQL Analyze (actions) already failed with GitHub HttpError: No server is currently available (infra, not kernel). Cloud agent bc-18381758 is still running on this branch.

⚠️ Action not completed

Review rate limited.

Note: CodeRabbit is an incremental review system and does not re-review already reviewed commits. This command is applicable only when automatic reviews are paused.

The required default-setup Analyze (actions) job is still the 17:40 UTC
init failure (feature-enablement HTTP 503). The repository CodeQL copy
already passed on a later rerun. This integration cannot call
`gh run rerun` (403, needs actions: write), so retrigger the stale org
check without changing product code.

* Add joint MAP hierarchical continuous-time AR(1) Rasch slice.

Introduce a Rust-owned jointly estimated longitudinal IRT kernel stacked
on the #976 OLS/AR state layer: shared (mu, tau, lambda), elapsed-day
OU transitions, measurement-information Wald state intervals, and
honest estimand metadata. Multiple-membership u_h and GPU parity are
excluded. Python remains marshalling-only.

* Accept NumPy intercept vectors and hide test-only scale helpers.

NumPy 2 no longer treats ndarray as a Sequence, so the hierarchical
simulator now accepts both sequences and arrays. Empirical-scale helpers
used only by unit tests are cfg(test) so the production lib stays clean.

599-624: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The state Hessian off-diagonal is always zero, so the tridiagonal solve does redundant O(n²) work.

person_state_hessian fills only diag from the measurement term. off stays a zero vector, and times is unused, which line 619 hides with let _times = times;. tridiagonal_inverse_diagonal then solves n separate systems through solve_tridiagonal, which is O(n²) per person block, to recover values that equal 1.0 / diag[i] for a diagonal matrix.

ADR-0019 states that state standard errors use the person-block measurement observed information only, so the zero off-diagonal is intentional. Two clean options exist.

  1. Keep the current estimand and drop the times parameter and the tridiagonal path for the diagonal case.
  2. Add the CT-AR prior second derivatives to diag and off, which makes the tridiagonal solve meaningful and requires an ADR-0019 update.

If you keep option 1, add a short comment that records why the prior is excluded, so a later change does not silently reintroduce the coupling.

Also applies to: 626-648

Shared longitudinal time constants and offset validation are defined twice. Both new modules declare MILLIS_PER_DAY and MAX_ABS_TIME_DAYS and carry near-identical validate_offsets and map_worker_join helpers that differ only in error text. A later change to the supported time bound or the offset contract must be applied in both files.

1359-1383: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The decay assertion cannot fail, so the test records no recovery evidence for lambda.

Line 1383 asserts decay_rmse.is_finite(). Every fit.decay_rate is already asserted finite at line 1359, and the seed count is fixed, so decay_rmse is finite by construction. The assertion is a tautology.

The surrounding comment correctly states that lambda is weakly identified under joint MAP on short series. Convert that statement into a real bound. For example, assert that the mean estimated unit_time_ar_coefficient sits inside a documented window around exp(-true_decay), or remove the assertion and record decay_rmse in the failure message of an existing bound.

Bound the longitudinal input lengths at the extension boundary.

py_weighted_contextual_effect bounds row_offsets and context_indices, and py_fit_hierarchical_ctar_rasch bounds both response axes. py_fit_longitudinal_state applies no length limit. It converts and copies row_offsets, sequence_indices, time_offsets_milliseconds, and values in full, so the raw binding accepts an unbounded occasion count and duplicates it in native memory.

@opencode-agent Please review exact current head ed9868c1b3636d0470dc82367e80a43036483018. The previously reported CT-AR hard-bound objective/gradient and boundary-Hessian defect is fixed on this lineage and its CodeRabbit thread is resolved; repository CI, Security Scan, CodeQL, Semgrep, and ClusterFuzzLite are all terminal-success on this same SHA. Please produce fresh formal current-head evidence without transferring predecessor-head review conclusions.

@opencode-agent Please review unchanged exact head ed9868c1b3636d0470dc82367e80a43036483018 now that the central mention router fix is on ContextualWisdomLab/.github protected main at 64feb77e8a178035bfd3822830b9435c3b0562fc. Repository CI, Security Scan, CodeQL, Semgrep, and ClusterFuzzLite are terminal-success on this SHA; the addressed CT-AR hard-bound objective/gradient and boundary-Hessian finding is resolved. Generate fresh formal current-head review evidence only; do not transfer predecessor-head conclusions.

Pull request overview

OpenCode cannot approve yet because required coverage evidence did not pass.

Review outcome

1. HIGH .github/workflows/opencode-review.yml:1 - Coverage evidence did not prove required test/docstring evidence

  • Problem: The required coverage-evidence job result was failure, so OpenCode cannot establish approval sufficiency for this head.

  • Root cause: Automated approval is only valid when the same-head coverage-evidence job proves supported repository test suites passed and configured docstring gates passed or were advisory, or reports not applicable because no supported source files or package manifests exist. Missing, failed, skipped, unavailable, or unsupported-tooling test evidence is a blocker.

  • Fix: Install or configure the repository test/docstring evidence tooling when source files or package manifests exist, rerun the current-head coverage-evidence job, and approve only after it reports success with required evidence or explicit no-source not-applicable evidence.

  • Regression test: Keep the approval branch checking needs.coverage-evidence.result == success before posting APPROVE, and publish REQUEST_CHANGES when coverage-evidence blocker states such as cancelled, skipped, failed, unsupported-tooling, or below-100 evidence are present.

  • Result: REQUEST_CHANGES

  • Reason: coverage-evidence result was failure, so required test/docstring evidence was not proven for current head ed9868c1b3636d0470dc82367e80a43036483018.

@opencode-agent Please re-review the unchanged exact head ed9868c1b3636d0470dc82367e80a43036483018 against the current central workflow. The prior REQUEST_CHANGES on this same head was caused by central coverage-evidence failure before PR-controlled tests. Repository-local CI, Security Scan, CodeQL, Semgrep, and ClusterFuzzLite are terminal-success on this exact head. Reassess source findings independently; do not transfer the superseded infrastructure verdict.

Superseded by #1005 at the identical corrected source SHA ed9868c1b3636d0470dc82367e80a43036483018. All repository CI/Security/CodeQL/Semgrep/ClusterFuzzLite evidence is terminal-success on this source SHA and all inline review threads are resolved, including the hard-bound objective/gradient/Hessian correction. #976's remaining formal REQUEST_CHANGES is solely central coverage-evidence run 32198812496. #1005 creates a fresh pull-request event for the current central workflow without changing source, dismissing review, weakening a gate, or force-pushing. Closing this predecessor unmerged avoids duplicate landing vehicles.

* feat: add Rust-owned longitudinal OLS and AR state layer

Land a focused successor to #848 on live main: independent per-respondent
OLS trends and caller-supplied discrete AR predictions, with honest
estimand metadata, fail-closed worker joins, checked AR gaps, and
scale-relative slope degeneracy. Number the decision ADR-0018 so it does
not collide with main ADR-0015 or #948 ADRs 0016/0017.

Co-authored-by: Seongho Bae <seonghobae@users.noreply.github.com>

* test: recover OLS parameters with valid respondent identifiers

Use two-token snake_case respondent IDs and cover NumPy scalar
observation conversion on the public longitudinal boundary.

Co-authored-by: Seongho Bae <seonghobae@users.noreply.github.com>

* docs: index ADR-0016/0017 so the longitudinal PR stays merge-safe

PR 948 already records Angoff delta-plot and Bradley-Terry MM. Carry
those accepted ADRs in this branch so the index does not skip numbers
and a later merge with the citation work does not drop them.

Co-authored-by: Seongho Bae <seonghobae@users.noreply.github.com>

* Revert "docs: index ADR-0016/0017 so the longitudinal PR stays merge-safe"

This reverts commit eafb302.

* test: cover unused worker shards and real observation scalars

Close the leftover llvm-cov paths in the longitudinal state engine: skip an
unused worker chunk, test first-to-last sequence-span underflow as a helper,
and recover an AR series that starts after a leading missing occasion.
Accept Python int and NumPy integer scalars at the public boundary.

* ci: retrigger org CodeQL after GitHub API 503

The required default-setup Analyze (actions) job is still the 17:40 UTC
init failure (feature-enablement HTTP 503). The repository CodeQL copy
already passed on a later rerun. This integration cannot call
`gh run rerun` (403, needs actions: write), so retrigger the stale org
check without changing product code.

* Add joint MAP hierarchical CT-AR Rasch slice (stacked on #976) (#982)

* Add joint MAP hierarchical continuous-time AR(1) Rasch slice.

Introduce a Rust-owned jointly estimated longitudinal IRT kernel stacked
on the #976 OLS/AR state layer: shared (mu, tau, lambda), elapsed-day
OU transitions, measurement-information Wald state intervals, and
honest estimand metadata. Multiple-membership u_h and GPU parity are
excluded. Python remains marshalling-only.

* Accept NumPy intercept vectors and hide test-only scale helpers.

NumPy 2 no longer treats ndarray as a Sequence, so the hierarchical
simulator now accepts both sequences and arrays. Empirical-scale helpers
used only by unit tests are cfg(test) so the production lib stays clean.
