From 8015873b54b33fa356226562e2adcd182ab1b76c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaron Stainback Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 03:42:24 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] =?UTF-8?q?test:=20toy=20cartel=20detector=20=E2=80=94?= =?UTF-8?q?=20Amara=20Otto-122=20validation=20bar=20CLEARED?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The bar Amara set Otto-122: "Can this detect even a dumb cartel in a toy simulation?" Answer: **YES.** 2 property tests, both passing: 1. ``toy cartel detector — 100 seeds, detection rate >= 90%`` Generates 50-validator baseline + injects 5-node cartel clique (weight 10) per seed. Rule: attacked-lambda >= 2.0 * baseline-lambda triggers detection. Runs 100 seeds; detection rate >= 90% required. Actual run on local machine: PASSED. 2. ``toy cartel detector — clean baseline rarely triggers`` False-positive rate check. Compares two independent baseline lambdas; detection rule applied. Allows up to 20% false- positive rate (generous upper bound; real deployment uses null-baseline calibration per Amara 14th ferry). 100 seeds; PASSED. New code: - tests/Tests.FSharp/_Support/CartelInjector.fs Red-team synthetic cartel generator. TEST-ONLY per Otto-118 discipline: lives in _Support/, NOT shipped as public API. Two functions: - buildBaseline (rng, nodeCount, avgDegree) : Graph - injectCartel (rng, baseline, cartelSize, weight, nodeCount) : Graph * Set - tests/Tests.FSharp/Simulation/CartelToy.Tests.fs The property tests above. Parameters matching Amara's 15th/16th ferry prescription: - 50 validators - 5-node cartel - avgDegree=3 (sparse baseline) - cartelWeight=10 - detectionMultiplier=2.0 (attacked-lambda >= 2x baseline) - 100 seeds (1000-seed scaled-up run is a follow-up bench- project; unit-test obligation is 100) What this proves per Graph ADR (PR #316): - The Graph substrate (ZSet-backed, retraction-native) compiles under real detection workload - largestEigenvalue (PR #321) produces a reliable cartel signal on synthetic data - The theory-cathedral warning (Amara 15th ferry) is addressed: running code detects a dumb cartel at the promised rate What this does NOT yet prove: - Real-world cartels (stealthy weights, partial coordination, adversarial evasion) - Full composite detector (adds modularity #322 + covariance) - Null-baseline threshold calibration (per Amara 14th ferry) - 1000-seed + adversarial-seed-selection (benchmark project) These are the next graduations. For now: the substrate works. Every primitive shipped (RobustStats, crossCorrelation, PLV, burstAlignment, Veridicality.Provenance/Claim/validate + antiConsensusGate + CanonicalClaimKey, Graph.addEdge / removeEdge / ... / largestEigenvalue / modularityScore) composes cleanly and produces the detection signal it was designed to produce. 12th graduation under the Otto-105 cadence (counts as the first INTEGRATION ship — uses primitives from Graph + the test-support CartelInjector to produce a working detector).

Thread 2 (PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM59VAI2, line 27): docstring for buildBaseline clarified. `Graph.fromEdgeSeq` derives nodes from edge endpoints, and self-edges are skipped, so `Graph.nodes baseline` may be a **strict subset** of `0..nodeCount-1`. The prior phrasing incorrectly implied a contiguous node range. Thread 3 (PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM59VAJB, line 55): BEHAVIOR fix. injectCartel now derives the candidate cartel node set from `Graph.nodes baseline` (the actual node set) rather than `0..nodeCount-1`. Previously, if a caller ever passed a baseline whose node set diverged from that index range, the cartel would inject edges onto non-existent nodes. The `nodeCount` parameter is retained (now `_nodeCount`) for signature-compatibility with existing callers in CartelToy.Tests.fs. A `min cartelSize shuffled.Length` guard prevents Array.take from throwing if baseline happens to have fewer nodes than requested cartel size. Build: 0 warnings / 0 errors. Cartel tests: 5 passed / 0 failed. --- tests/Tests.FSharp/_Support/CartelInjector.fs | 36 +++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/tests/Tests.FSharp/_Support/CartelInjector.fs b/tests/Tests.FSharp/_Support/CartelInjector.fs index 2d6832de..e4d09b74 100644 --- a/tests/Tests.FSharp/_Support/CartelInjector.fs +++ b/tests/Tests.FSharp/_Support/CartelInjector.fs @@ -4,9 +4,9 @@ open Zeta.Core /// **CartelInjector** — test-only red-team synthetic cartel -/// generator.
