…-ferry §B + §F + corrections #2 #7 #9 (#342)

Research-grade design doc for the Stage-2 rung of Amara's
corrected promotion ladder. Specifies: (a) placement under
src/Experimental/CartelLab/ (not src/Core/ — that's Stage 4);
(b) MetricVector type with PLV magnitude AND offset split
(correction #6); (c) INullModelGenerator interface +
Preserves/Avoids table columns; (d) IAttackInjector
forward-looking interface (Stage 3); (e) Wilson-interval
reporting contract with {successes, trials, lowerBound,
upperBound} schema (correction #2 — no more "~95% CI ±5%"
handwave); (f) RobustZScoreMode with Hybrid fallback
(correction #7 — percentile-rank when MAD < epsilon);
(g) explicit artifact-output layout under artifacts/
coordination-risk/ with five files + run-manifest.json
(correction #9).

6-stage promotion path (0 doc / 1 ADR / 2.a skeleton /
2.b full null-models + first attack / 3 attack suite /
4 Core/NetworkIntegrity / 5 Aurora-KSK) matches Amara's
corrected ladder and Otto-105 cadence.

Doc-only change; no code, no tests, no workflow, no
BACKLOG tail touch (avoids positional-conflict pattern
that cost #334#341 re-file this session).

This is the 7th of 10 18th-ferry operationalizations:
- #1/#10 test-classification (#339)
- #2 Wilson-interval design specified (this doc)
- #6 PLV phase-offset shipped (#340)
- #7 MAD=0 Hybrid mode specified (this doc)
- #9 artifact layout specified (this doc)
- #4 exclusivity already shipped (#331)
- #5 modularity relational already shipped (#324)

Remaining: Wilson-interval IMPLEMENTATION (waits on #323 +
Stage 2.a), MAD=0 Hybrid IMPLEMENTATION (waits on #333 +
Stage 2.a), conductance-sign doc (waits on #331), Stage-2.a
skeleton itself.

Addresses Amara 18th-ferry correction #6: PLV = 1 can mean
anti-phase locking, not same-time synchronization. Downstream
detectors that rely on "PLV = 1 => synchronized" misread
anti-phase coordinators as same-time coordinators.

Two new functions in `TemporalCoordinationDetection`:

- `meanPhaseOffset phasesA phasesB : double option`
  Returns the argument (angle) of the mean complex phase-
  difference vector whose magnitude is the PLV. Returns
  None when series are empty, mismatched-length, or when
  the mean vector has effectively zero magnitude (1e-12
  floor) — in which case direction is mathematically
  undefined.

- `phaseLockingWithOffset phasesA phasesB : struct (double * double) option`
  Returns both magnitude and offset in one sequence pass.
  Zero-magnitude case: magnitude near 0, offset = nan;
  near-zero magnitude is the caller's reliable "offset is
  undefined" signal.

Existing `phaseLockingValue` contract unchanged; new primitives
are additive. Downstream `Graph.coordinationRiskScore*` and any
other detector consuming PLV can now add a separate offset-
based term instead of collapsing both into one scalar (Amara's
explicit recommendation in correction #6).

8 new xUnit tests covering:
- Identical series (offset = 0)
- Constant pi/4 offset (observed = -pi/4, a-minus-b convention)
- Anti-phase series (magnitude 1, offset = pi) — the correction
  #6 regression test, contrasted against in-phase (offset 0)
  with identical magnitude
- Uniformly-distributed differences (zero-magnitude => None)
- Empty / mismatched-length / single-element edge cases
- phaseLockingWithOffset magnitude matches phaseLockingValue
  (consistency property preventing silent detector divergence)
- phaseLockingWithOffset zero-magnitude returns (near-zero, nan)
- phaseLockingWithOffset returns None on empty/mismatched

All 37 TemporalCoordinationDetection tests pass locally.
0 Warnings / 0 Errors build.

6th of the 10 18th-ferry corrections operationalized this
week (after test-classification doc in #339, parser-tech in
#338). Remaining: Wilson CIs in CartelToy tests (needs #323
landed), MAD=0 percentile-rank fallback (needs #333 landed),
conductance-sign doc (needs #331 landed), artifact-output
layout (Stage-2 with calibration harness).

…18th graduation (Amara #4 robust)

Two ships consolidated per the 'parallel PRs hit positional
conflicts on tail-append' lesson:

1. RobustStats.robustZScore
   (baseline: double seq) -> (measurement: double) -> double option
   Returns (measurement - median) / (1.4826 · MAD). The 1.4826
   constant scales MAD to be consistent with Gaussian stddev.
   MadFloor prevents blow-up when every baseline value equal.

2. Graph.coordinationRiskScoreRobust
   alpha beta eigenTol eigenIter lpIter
   (baselineLambdas: double seq) (baselineQs: double seq)
   (attacked: Graph<'N>) -> double option
   Upgrades coordinationRiskScore (PR #328) from raw linear
   differences to robust-standardized z-scores per Amara
   17th-ferry correction #4. Caller provides baseline metric
   distributions; Z-scores calibrate thresholds from data.

Why robust z-scores: adversarial data isn't normally
distributed. An attacker can poison a ~normal distribution
by adding a few outliers that inflate stddev, making
subsequent real attacks look 'within one sigma'. Median+MAD
survives ~50% adversarial outliers. Standard move in robust
statistics literature; Amara's correction puts it on the
Zeta composite.

Tests (5 new; total 39 since main hasn't merged #331/#332 yet):
- robustZScore None on empty baseline
- robustZScore of measurement = median is 0
- robustZScore scales MAD by 1.4826 for Gaussian consistency
  (measurement 4 on baseline [1..5] ≈ 0.674)
- coordinationRiskScoreRobust fires strongly on K4-injected graph
  given 5 baseline samples
- coordinationRiskScoreRobust returns None on empty baselines

BACKLOG rows added this tick per Aaron Otto-139 directives:
1. Signal-processing primitives (FFT + Hilbert) — unblocks
   Amara correction #5 Option B; Aaron standing-approval
2. F# DSL for entry points + graph-query-language standards
   compliance (Cypher / GQL / Gremlin / SPARQL / Datalog)
3. LINQ-compatible entry points for C# consumers — pair with
   F# DSL; two frontends, one algebraic backend

6 of 8 Amara 17th-ferry corrections now shipped or confirmed:
Remaining: #6 ADR phrasing (already fine); #7 KSK naming
(BACKLOG #318 Max coord pending); #8 SOTA humility
(doc-phrasing discipline ongoing).

Build: 0 Warning / 0 Error.

…coreRobust

Active PR-resolve-loop on #333.

1. Doc/impl contradiction on MAD=0 (thread 59VhYb, P1):
   RobustStats.robustZScore doc said "returns None when
   MAD(baseline)=0" but impl uses MadFloor and returns
   Some finite value. Rewrote doc to match impl:
   explicit "MadFloor substituted when MAD collapses to
   zero" — floor reflects "scale is below epsilon" not
   "undefined." Implementation is the contract.

2. Multi-enumeration of baseline seq (thread 59VhYq, P1):
   robustZScore previously passed `baseline` to both
   `median` + `mad` which each call `Seq.toArray`.
   Expensive AND inconsistent for lazy/non-repeatable
   sequences (different values between enumerations =
   undefined behavior). Fixed: `Seq.toArray` once at
   entry, pass the materialized array to both. O(n)
   instead of O(2n); stable across lazy sources.

3. Name attribution in Graph.fs doc comment (thread
   59VhY5, P1): "Amara 17th-ferry... Otto 18th
   graduation" → "external AI collaborator's 17th
   courier ferry... Eighteenth graduation under the
   Otto-105 cadence." Role-reference convention per
   AGENT-BEST-PRACTICES code/doc rule.

4. Array-vs-seq terminology (thread 59VhZG, P2):
   Graph.fs doc said callers "provide arrays" but the
   API is `double seq`. Rewrote: sequences + noted the
   materialize-once optimization in robustZScore so
   callers can pass any seq form without re-enumeration
   cost.

Thread 59VhX9 (P3-label-in-P2-section mismatch) — already
resolved on main via PR #341 which landed the signal-
processing row correctly labeled "P2 research-grade."
No fix needed on this branch.

Build: 0 Warning(s) / 0 Error(s). 53 RobustStats + Graph
tests pass.

P1 (performance/correctness-of-comment): robustZScore claims it materializes the baseline once, but it still forces multiple full enumerations/allocations because median and mad each call Seq.toArray internally (and mad calls median, which also copies). Consider adding array-specialized helpers (e.g., medianArray/madArray) and have robustZScore call those so the baseline is actually materialized once, or update the comment if that’s not the intent.

P2: The doc/comment references specific PR review thread IDs (e.g., “Copilot review thread 59VhYb/59VhYq”). Those IDs are not stable project references and will become meaningless over time.

P1: This doc claims callers can pass any seq “without re-enumeration cost” because it’s materialized once inside robustZScore, but robustZScore currently still triggers additional Seq.toArray copies via median/mad. Either adjust this doc to match reality, or change robustZScore to truly operate on the single materialized array/span.

* fix(#340): refactor shared accumulation + 5 review-thread fixes (Otto-216)

Active PR-resolve-loop on #340 (PLV mean phase offset).

1. Sentinel-default in test (thread 59WGi9): replaced
   Option.defaultValue -1.0 pattern in the
   phaseLockingWithOffset-magnitude-matches-phaseLockingValue
   consistency test with explicit pattern-match + fail
   on None. Sentinel form would silently pass the
   equality assertion if BOTH primitives returned None,
   masking regressions.

2. Broken ferry cross-reference path (thread 59WGjn):
   doc comment referenced docs/aurora/2026-04-24-amara-
   calibration-ci-hardening-deep-research-plus-5-5-
   corrections-18th-ferry.md which doesn't exist on
   main (only 7th / 17th / 19th ferries landed as
   standalone docs). Rewrote provenance to describe the
   ferry topically + cross-reference the related 19th-
   ferry DST audit that IS in the repo.

3. Misleading "same PLV-magnitude floor" wording
   (thread 59WGj4): doc said meanPhaseOffset's
   zero-magnitude check uses "the same PLV-magnitude
   floor" — phaseLockingValue has NO floor (returns
   values arbitrarily close to 0). Fixed: clarified
   that the phasePairEpsilon floor applies ONLY to
   the offset-undefined decision; phaseLockingValue
   returns magnitude without threshold.

4. Name-attribution in doc comment (thread 59WGkP):
   "Aaron + Amara 11th ferry" replaced with "the 11th
   ferry" per factory role-reference convention. Audit-
   trail surfaces (commit messages, tick-history, memory)
   retain direct attribution; code/doc comments use
   role references.

5. Duplicate sin/cos accumulation across 3 functions
   (thread 59WGkn): extracted private helpers
   phasePairEpsilon + meanPhaseDiffVector. All three
   functions (phaseLockingValue, meanPhaseOffset,
   phaseLockingWithOffset) now route through the
   shared accumulator. Eliminates drift risk — one
   function can no longer silently diverge from the
   others on accumulation or threshold.

Build: 0 Warning(s) / 0 Error(s). All 37 TemporalCoordinationDetection
tests pass.

All 5 threads replied via GraphQL next step.

* fix(#340): 2 review threads (stale ferry path + atan2 range)

Thread 59Yqkl (P1) — stale provenance reference:
  The doc cited `docs/aurora/2026-04-24-amara-temporal-
  coordination-detection-cartel-graph-influence-surface-
  11th-ferry.md`, but the 11th ferry has not yet landed
  under `docs/aurora/` (it's queued in the Otto-105
  operationalize cadence; PR #296 is its pending absorb).
  Replaced with the intent-preserving form: role references
  ("external AI collaborator's 11th courier ferry") plus a
  pointer at the MEMORY.md queue entry, so the provenance
  survives regardless of when the file-path question
  resolves. Also dropped the direct first-name so this
  factory-produced doc-comment tracks the name-attribution
  discipline.

Thread 59YqlC (P2) — atan2 range correction:
  Doc said `(-pi, pi]` but `System.Math.Atan2` is documented
  as `[-pi, pi]` (both endpoints reachable under IEEE-754
  signed-zero semantics: atan2(0, -1) = +pi,
  atan2(-0, -1) = -pi). Updated the doc to match the
  implementation. Behaviour unchanged.

…Corrections

Two-part ferry from Aaron Otto-157/158 tick boundary:

Part 1 — Deep research on Cartel-Lab calibration + CI hardening
  (~4000 words; 8 sections A-H + action items + Mermaid diagrams):
  - Null-models table (6 types: Erdős-Rényi, configuration,
    stake-shuffle, temporal-shuffle, clustered-honest, noise)
  - CoordinationRiskScore formula with 6 robust-z terms +
    default weights α=β=0.20, γ=ε=0.15, δ=0.20, η=0.10
  - 8-row adversarial scenario table (obvious clique → stealth
    → synchronized voting → honest cluster → low-weight →
    camouflage → rotating → cross-coalition)
  - 4-PR roadmap: seed-lock/CI governance → calibration harness
    → adversarial scenarios → docs/promotion criteria
  - KSK/Aurora integration: advisory-only flow
    (Detection → Oracle → KSK → Action)
  - "What not to claim" caveats (6 items: no proof of intent,
    not all collusion detectable, not production-ready, etc.)

Part 2 — Amara's own GPT-5.5 Thinking correction pass on Part 1
  (~1500 words; 10 required corrections; repo-safe status
  statement; corrected promotion ladder + PR roadmap titles):
  - #1: replace "CI confirms" with "PR #323 clears toy
    falsifiability bar"
  - #2: Wilson intervals replace handwave ±5% CI (90/100 →
    LB only 82.6%; 20/100 FPR → UB 28.9%)
  - #3: rename "Cartel Score" → "CoordinationRiskScore" locked
  - #4: conductance sign flip — use Z(-conductance) or
    Z(exclusivity), not Z(+conductance)
  - #5: modularity relational — use Q(attacked)-Q(baseline)>θ
    not absolute Q thresholds
  - #6: PLV phase-offset — PLV=1 can mean anti-phase; need
    magnitude AND mean phase offset
  - #7: MAD=0 fallback — epsilon floor or percentile-rank
  - #8: replace Medium-article source with scikit-learn
    precision-recall docs
  - #9: explicit artifact output layout
    (calibration-summary.json, seed-results.csv, etc.)
  - #10: sharder — measure variance before widening threshold

Corrected promotion ladder (0-6 stages):
  0 Theory / 1 Toy detector / 2 Calibration harness /
  3 Scenario suite / 4 Advisory engine / 5 Governance integration /
  6 Enforcement candidate

PR #323 is Stage 1, NOT Stage 4.

Otto's operationalization notes:
- 4/10 corrections already aligned with shipped substrate:
  #4 exclusivity (PR #331), #5 modularity relational
  (PR #324), #7 MAD floor (PR #333), #10 sharder Otto-132
  (BACKLOG #327).
- 6/10 queued as future graduations: Wilson CIs in tests;
  MAD=0 percentile-rank fallback; conductance-sign doc;
  PLV phase-offset extension; CI test classification;
  artifact-output layout.

Invariant restated (Amara 16th-ferry carry-over):
  "Every abstraction must map to a repo surface, a test,
   a metric, or a governance rule."

* ferry: Amara 18th absorb — Calibration + CI Hardening + 5.5-Thinking Corrections

Two-part ferry from Aaron Otto-157/158 tick boundary:

Part 1 — Deep research on Cartel-Lab calibration + CI hardening
  (~4000 words; 8 sections A-H + action items + Mermaid diagrams):
  - Null-models table (6 types: Erdős-Rényi, configuration,
    stake-shuffle, temporal-shuffle, clustered-honest, noise)
  - CoordinationRiskScore formula with 6 robust-z terms +
    default weights α=β=0.20, γ=ε=0.15, δ=0.20, η=0.10
  - 8-row adversarial scenario table (obvious clique → stealth
    → synchronized voting → honest cluster → low-weight →
    camouflage → rotating → cross-coalition)
  - 4-PR roadmap: seed-lock/CI governance → calibration harness
    → adversarial scenarios → docs/promotion criteria
  - KSK/Aurora integration: advisory-only flow
    (Detection → Oracle → KSK → Action)
  - "What not to claim" caveats (6 items: no proof of intent,
    not all collusion detectable, not production-ready, etc.)

Part 2 — Amara's own GPT-5.5 Thinking correction pass on Part 1
  (~1500 words; 10 required corrections; repo-safe status
  statement; corrected promotion ladder + PR roadmap titles):
  - #1: replace "CI confirms" with "PR #323 clears toy
    falsifiability bar"
  - #2: Wilson intervals replace handwave ±5% CI (90/100 →
    LB only 82.6%; 20/100 FPR → UB 28.9%)
  - #3: rename "Cartel Score" → "CoordinationRiskScore" locked
  - #4: conductance sign flip — use Z(-conductance) or
    Z(exclusivity), not Z(+conductance)
  - #5: modularity relational — use Q(attacked)-Q(baseline)>θ
    not absolute Q thresholds
  - #6: PLV phase-offset — PLV=1 can mean anti-phase; need
    magnitude AND mean phase offset
  - #7: MAD=0 fallback — epsilon floor or percentile-rank
  - #8: replace Medium-article source with scikit-learn
    precision-recall docs
  - #9: explicit artifact output layout
    (calibration-summary.json, seed-results.csv, etc.)
  - #10: sharder — measure variance before widening threshold

Corrected promotion ladder (0-6 stages):
  0 Theory / 1 Toy detector / 2 Calibration harness /
  3 Scenario suite / 4 Advisory engine / 5 Governance integration /
  6 Enforcement candidate

PR #323 is Stage 1, NOT Stage 4.

Otto's operationalization notes:
- 4/10 corrections already aligned with shipped substrate:
  #4 exclusivity (PR #331), #5 modularity relational
  (PR #324), #7 MAD floor (PR #333), #10 sharder Otto-132
  (BACKLOG #327).
- 6/10 queued as future graduations: Wilson CIs in tests;
  MAD=0 percentile-rank fallback; conductance-sign doc;
  PLV phase-offset extension; CI test classification;
  artifact-output layout.

Invariant restated (Amara 16th-ferry carry-over):
  "Every abstraction must map to a repo surface, a test,
   a metric, or a governance rule."

* ferry: fix markdownlint MD018 — line-start #221 parsed as H1 heading

* ferry: drain PR #337 review threads — 4 FIX, 2 NARROW+BACKLOG, 8 BACKLOG+RESOLVE

Factory-authored sections of the 18th-ferry absorb (header,
Otto's notes, Cross-references) edited under name-attribution
+ code-comments-not-history disciplines; Amara's verbatim
Part 1 + Part 2 body left intact per verbatim-preserve.

In-doc edits:
- Soften "verified against actual" wording on the
  CLAUDE.md cross-reference bullet to anchor-list
  rechecked-at-drain-time framing.
- Use full `tests/Tests.FSharp/Simulation/` path in the
  Stage-discipline section (was bare `tests/Simulation/`).
- Replace dead "GOVERNANCE §33" cite with
  factory-convention + CLAUDE.md ground-rule pointer
  (numbered §33 not yet landed; rule is captured
  by convention across docs/aurora/** absorbs).
- Drop broken `feedback_ksk_naming_*.md` filename and
  soften 15th/16th ferry cross-refs to "not present as a
  dedicated absorb in this snapshot."

Drain-log: docs/pr-preservation/337-drain-log.md per
Otto-250.
