Humans should start at +[`README.md`](README.md) and [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md); this file is the short version, plus +the conventions that are easy to violate without noticing. + +## What this repo is + +**Agent Memory for .NET** — a graph-native persistent memory engine for AI agents, backed by Neo4j. +Framework-agnostic core plus thin adapters (Microsoft Agent Framework, Semantic Kernel, MCP). It is a +from-scratch .NET reimplementation of the ideas in Python's `neo4j-labs/agent-memory`, not a port, and +it is verified against that project's compatibility kit. + +- 15 shipped projects under `src/`, multi-targeting `net8.0;net9.0;net10.0`. Everything else + (tests, tools, samples) is `net10.0`. SDK pinned in `global.json`. +- 5 test projects under `tests/`, 5 tools under `tools/`, samples under `samples/`. +- Architecture: [`docs/architecture.md`](docs/architecture.md). What the memory layer does and does not + do, honestly labelled: [`docs/memory-map.md`](docs/memory-map.md).

Gotcha the auto-fixer gets wrong: it rewrites +`await using var x = Open().ConfigureAwait(false)` into a `ConfiguredAsyncDisposable` binding. Fix +those by hand, as a two-line disposal. + +**Cypher lives in `Queries/` constants**, one file per domain, inside `AgentMemory.Neo4j`. Never inline +a Cypher string in a repository. + +**Domain types are `sealed record` with `required` members.** Timestamps are `DateTimeOffset` with a +`Utc` suffix.

Every async method takes `CancellationToken cancellationToken = default` and passes it +through. + +**New capabilities ship off by default, and "off" means byte-identical.** Not "an unchanged graph" — +the query is not issued, the service is not called, the prompt bytes do not move. The current roster of +flags and defaults is [`docs/architecture.md` §3.6](docs/architecture.md#36-every-capability-in-this-cycle-ships-dark). +If you add a flag, say what off costs in its doc comment, and prove it. + +**Supersession and invalidation are non-destructive.** No `DETACH DELETE` on any contradiction, +supersession, decay or prune path: the losing record is stamped `invalidated_at` (plus `valid_until`) +and linked to the winner by `SUPERSEDED_BY`. Hard deletion exists only where a caller explicitly asked +for it — `ClearSessionAsync` and the delete APIs — and nowhere else. + +**Tests are written red-first, and target the trigger.** A regression test must be shown to fail +*before* the fix and pass after. A test that exercises the happy path of the fixed code proves nothing +about the defect. When a fix changes behaviour, audit that behaviour's consumers rather than assuming +the change is local. + +**Schema changes have an owner.** Adding a label, relationship type or property means either a base +migration reviewed as base, or a schema extension that declares it — +[`docs/extensions/README.md`](docs/extensions/README.md) has the rules and the how-to. `schema-check` +fails when a shape has no owner. + +**No `TODO`, `FIXME`, or `HACK` comments.** Finish the work or open an issue. + +**Adding a project under `src/` does not publish it.** It must be listed in `eng/release-packages.txt`, +and CI fails when `src/*/` and that manifest disagree. + +## Docs + +Update docs in the same change as the code, not afterwards: + +- `docs/architecture.md` — architectural changes, new options, new capabilities +- `docs/memory-map.md` — anything that changes what the memory layer can or cannot do, with its honest + BUILT / WIRED / MEASURED status +- `docs/extensions/.md` — **enforced by a test** for every shipped schema extension: the page must + exist, carry the sections `## Shape`, `## Cypher`, `## Semantics`, `## Conformance`, + `## Parity delta`, name every declared shape and parity-delta entry, and be linked from the index +- `docs/schema.md` — graph schema changes +- `docs/getting-started.md` — configuration or DI registration changes +- `CHANGELOG.md` — user-visible changes, under `[Unreleased]` + +## Commits and PRs + +Branches: `feature/`, `fix/`, `docs/`, `refactor/`. + +Commit messages are imperative and specific — say what changed and, in the body, why.

Access stamps feed decay and retention; nothing in a returned context depends on them, so a + caller blocked on the write is blocked on nothing — at shipped defaults that was up to 25 write + transactions before the model was even invoked. + + `DeferAccessTracking` already made the write fire-and-forget, and **its own documentation admits the + flaw**: the write starts inside the request scope, so a host that disposes that scope on response + completion can dispose the repository under an in-flight write, surfacing as an + `ObjectDisposedException` in a log nobody reads while access tracking silently stops. This is the same + optimisation done safely — a **singleton** channel owned by the root container, drained by one + long-running consumer that takes a fresh scope per batch, so the write outlives the request by + construction. It supersedes `DeferAccessTracking` where both are set. + + Bounded and drop-on-full: an unbounded queue turns a slow database into unbounded memory, and a + blocking one puts the latency straight back. Dropping is right for this payload specifically — a lost + stamp ages one memory's retention marginally against a 30-day half-life — and drops are **counted and + logged**. It drains on dispose, which is what makes "audit rows equal at end of run" checkable. + + Two defects were found in the first draft by its own tests and are worth recording, because both + would have shipped looking correct: + + - Under `BoundedChannelFullMode.DropWrite`, `TryWrite` returns **true** and discards the item, so the + drop counter keyed on its return value counted zero forever while the queue silently threw work + away — precisely the "quietly discarding its input" failure the class comment warns against. Now + counted through the channel's `itemDropped` callback. + - A singleton implementing only `IAsyncDisposable` makes `ServiceProvider.Dispose()` *throw*, breaking + every host that disposes its container synchronously. It now implements both. + +- **Self-consistency voting and quote-forcing in the evaluation harness** (`--answer-votes`, + `--quote-forcing`). Defaults are one unvoted, unforced answer call — byte-identical to every archived + run. The pre-registered primary claim is that the **band narrows** across repeat runs, not that point + accuracy rises: with a measured 14-point spread between two identical accepted runs, a point + comparison on n=50 is noise wearing a decimal. + + Votes get distinct seeds derived from `--answer-seed`, so a run stays reproducible from one recorded + number. Clustering is deliberately conservative — case, whitespace, trailing punctuation, nothing more + — because stripping articles or stemming would merge answers a judge scores differently, turning a + real disagreement into an invented consensus. A three-way split is *reported* rather than resolved, + since spending an LLM tiebreak costs money and must not be decided implicitly inside an aggregation + helper. + + Quote-forcing asks for `EVIDENCE: ""` (or `EVIDENCE: NONE FOUND`) before the answer, + and an unformatted response keeps its answer with the miss recorded — discarding it would convert a + formatting failure into a scored memory failure. The two compose: votes cluster on the *answer*, not + the two-line envelope, or agreeing answers citing different quotes would count as disagreement. + + **The void witness here is a live outcome, not a formality.** Proposal F assumed the provider's forced + temperature 1.0 is the sampler; 30.1 then measured that seeding *halves* answer variance on this + deployment. If votes are byte-identical on >80% of questions, the sampler is not sampling — that is a + measured provider property, and the pre-registered response is to record it and stop. + +- **Legible forgetting — a stated absence (`RecallOptions.LegibleForgetting`).** Off by default. + Forgetting already worked and was **invisible**: decay pruned, recall returned less, and the agent + answered as though it had never known — indistinguishable, to the person asking, from never having + been told. A memory system whose gaps all look like the same gap cannot be corrected by its user, + because they do not know there is anything to re-supply. + + On a recall whose fact section comes back **empty from a search that actually ran**, one extra + vector probe asks what the system used to know about this and has let go. What surfaces is a + `ForgottenTopicSummary` — topic, count, dates — and never the forgotten content, because rendering + that would undo the forgetting outright: the decayed values would be back in the prompt, occupying + budget, being answered from. + + **The partition is `invalidated_reason`, a new property the prune stamps.** `invalidated_at` alone + cannot tell a fact that *decayed* from one that was *contradicted*, and reporting the second as + forgotten is wrong in the most damaging direction — the system did not forget it, it **replaced** it, + and the replacement is live and should be answering the question. Supersession deliberately stamps no + reason; the null is the partition. Facts invalidated before this shipped have an unknowable reason + and are simply never reported — a disclosed start-at-deployment limit rather than a backfilled guess. + + **Zero parity cost, zero new schema, zero migration.** The probe reuses `fact_embedding_idx`, which + already contains these nodes: soft-invalidation keeps the embedding, and every live query filters + them out afterwards. This inverts that filter. + + Three gates, each load-bearing: the flag; an existing query embedding, so a turn narrowed to skip + embedding does not have one reintroduced by a diagnostic; and **thinness** — a recall that answered + the question has nothing to apologise for, and a section that was never searched has not established + an absence. It applies the **same** similarity floor a live search would: a tombstone clearing a + looser bar is a confident claim about having forgotten something on an unrelated topic, which invites + the user to re-supply information they never gave. No escalation ladder either: if the global top-K + starves, the tombstone silently does not render, which is the correct failure direction for a surface + whose entire job is honesty about absence. + + Precedence is resolved once, in the assembler: a tombstone suppresses the projection layer's + no-direct-match line for the same section, since the two make overlapping claims and rendering both + would say it twice and then disagree about how much is known. + + Like firing, it is deliberately absent from the as-of recall path, and the reason is recorded in + `AsOfRecallDivergenceTests`: a tombstone is a statement about the **present** state of memory, and at + the as-of instant those facts may still have been live. + +- **Prospective firing — memory that volunteers (`RecallOptions.ProspectiveFiring`).** Off by default. + Every other retrieval channel is *reactive*: it answers the question in front of it. A reminder is + off-topic by definition — nobody asks "is there anything I should know?" — so a similarity-scored + channel can never surface one. Firing selects by **time alone**: no query embedding, no similarity + floor, and that absence is the specification rather than an optimisation. + + Two sections, deliberately not merged: `DueFacts` (validity just opened) and `ExpiringFacts` + (validity closes within `ExpiringWindow`). They are different claims, and a reader who has to infer + which from the dates is a reader who skips the block. Both render **before** everything the query + asked for, on both surfaces — the point of volunteering is prominence, and a reminder placed after + the relevance-ranked answer to a different question has been delivered without being received. + + **Gated twice.** The flag, and `ValidTime == Current`: firing reads a fact's valid-time window, and a + recall that is ignoring valid time has no window to read — surfacing facts by a clock the rest of + that recall deliberately ignores would make the two halves disagree with no way for the reader to + tell. Its own budget (`MaxDueItems`, default 5) rather than competing with `MaxFacts`, because a + reminder that loses a budget contest to a relevance-ranked fact has already failed at the one thing + it exists to do. A fact that is both relevant and due renders **only** as due. + + **Zero parity cost and zero new schema**: it reads `valid_from`/`valid_until`, which already exist, + and is served by the range indexes the `delta-recall` extension creates over the same clocks. Without + that extension the query is still correct, just planned as an owner seek plus a filter — a disclosed + cost, not a hidden one. + + The counter this feature would be withdrawn over is **premature surfacing**: a not-yet-valid fact in + assembled context is a confident statement about a world that does not exist yet. It has a dedicated + live-graph test, verified to be the only failure when the upper window bound is removed. + + Firing changes *when* a fact surfaces, never its trust: due facts go through the same delimiter and + the same per-item admission check as every other recalled category. + + The as-of recall path deliberately does **not** fire, and that decision is now recorded in + `AsOfRecallDivergenceTests` — the guard caught the omission before it could become a discovery. An + as-of recall reconstructs what was known at a past instant; splicing present-tense urgency into a + historical reconstruction would be actively misleading about which world the answer describes. + +- **Arithmetic memory — the session accountant (`ExtractionOptions.DerivedMemory`).** Off by default. + 16% of LongMemEval questions have a **derived** answer: a count, a difference, a latest-of-chain, a + duration, a list. The store holds `800` and `50`; the answer is `750`, and nothing ever wrote it + down. Every retrieval-side idea in this project died against a saturated coverage ceiling; what + remains alive is the class of answers retrieval structurally *cannot* produce, because they are + properties of a **set** and retrieval returns a sample of it. + + A deterministic post-persistence pass materialises aggregates for the `(subject, predicate, owner)` + groups each extraction batch touched. **LLM-free by design**: answer-time decomposition died 0/29 on + perfect context and the answer model is the noisiest component in the stack, so arithmetic moves from + a stochastic reader to a deterministic writer. Six operators — Count, Delta, Latest, SetEnumeration + on by default; **Sum and Duration deliberately off**, the first because summing non-additive + quantities is arithmetically perfect and semantically nonsense (so it takes an explicit predicate + allowlist), the second because the current corpus stamps `UnixEpoch + counter` and durations computed + there are fiction with a plausible shape. + + Every operator **refuses** rather than guesses: a group containing one unparsable object loses its + numeric operators entirely, because the change between two values that happened to be readable is not + the change over the chain. Nothing aggregates a single fact. The number parser — the only + hallucination surface in the feature — strips a currency symbol and thousands separators and then + defers to `decimal.TryParse`; it does not attempt "twice a week", "a couple" or "about 800". + + Each aggregate renders its arithmetic inline — `17 — derived: 12 (a1) + 5 (b2)` — so the model can + **check** it. A derived number presented bare is a claim; presented with its inputs it is an argument. + + **The staleness cascade is the safety property of the whole feature, and it is same-statement.** A + derived `750` whose input `800` was superseded is a manufactured confident-wrong answer — stored, + embedded, recallable, wearing provenance that makes it look verified. `Supersede` and `Invalidate` + now invalidate dependent aggregates in the same Cypher statement that retracts the input, and the + cascade is **unconditional**: switching the accountant off must not freeze every aggregate it ever + wrote into permanent truth. + + Ships as the `arithmetic` schema extension — one `DERIVED_FROM` relationship type and five documented + properties on `:Fact`, **zero labels**. See [`docs/extensions/arithmetic.md`](docs/extensions/arithmetic.md) + for why the edge earns its allowlist entry over the two parity-free alternatives. + + The marker property is `fact_kind`, **not** `kind`. Upstream already has a `kind` property meaning + "audit-node discriminator", and overloading a name whose meaning another implementation owns is the + changed-semantics hazard a parity check cannot catch — it compares names, not meanings. The + `procedural` extension chose `trace_kind` over `kind` for exactly this reason; this one used `kind` + anyway on its first draft, and the parity verifier rejected it as *"upstream caught up to .NET + superset"*. + + Two binding guards from the TCK audit, both enforced structurally: + + - **G1 — the cascade is cardinality-safe.** `OPTIONAL MATCH` plus `WITH DISTINCT` on both sides, so a + fact with N dependants does not multiply the row its caller counts, and a store with no derived + facts behaves exactly as before. + - **G2 — the fact upsert cannot merge into a derived node.** Enforced by *omission*: a derived fact + carries no merge-key quadruple at all, so MERGE and `FindByTriple` cannot reach it. A user restating + a number would otherwise land on an aggregate, overwriting its value while leaving its + `DERIVED_FROM` edges and derivation string intact. + + Also in this change: + + - `--extraction-compare --vocabulary-ab` measures the predicate-vocabulary prerequisite this feature + hard-depends on (aggregation needs two facts to agree they are instances of the same predicate; + 421 distinct predicates over ~700 facts means they never do). It runs both arms **in one process + over byte-identical input** — the two-cold-build A/B the plan originally scheduled is not + achievable, because the flag changes the extraction prompt and two builds of one *unchanged* + configuration already disagree on ~86% of triples. + - `MethodBuiltQueryStructureTests` matched labels by scanning for every `:Name` and excusing + relationship types from a hand-written list containing exactly one entry. It now matches node + labels and relationship types in their own syntactic positions, and checks both. + +- **Delta recall — "what changed since I last looked?" (`IMemoryRecall.RecallChangedSinceAsync`).** + Off by default at the adapter (`AgentFrameworkOptions.InjectDeltaOnSessionResume`). An agent resuming + work re-receives everything it already processed; full recall re-assembles the same facts at every + session start, and there was no way to ask for the difference. + + Every ingredient already existed and was already enforced on the live write path — `created_at` + stamped on create only, `invalidated_at` stamped idempotently, `SUPERSEDED_BY` edges, + `valid_from`/`valid_until`. Nothing read them as a diff. Eight buckets (new / superseded-as-pairs / + invalidated / expired-validity / newly-due / new preferences / superseded preferences / new entities) + are **disjoint by construction**: the window is half-open, `(since, until]`, everywhere without + exception, and the upper bound is read from the clock **once** and handed back as the next + checkpoint. That is what makes consecutive deltas partition time exactly, and it is also what makes + the feature verifiable without a judge or a benchmark. + + The subtlest case has a test named after it. Supersession stamps **both** clocks, so a superseded + fact would appear as a pair *and* as an expiry — two entries for one change — without the + transaction-clock gate on the expiry query. Removing that gate was verified to fail exactly one test + and no others. + + Ships as the `delta-recall` schema extension: **seven RANGE indexes, no labels, no properties, empty + parity delta** — the clocks were already there, and the extension only makes them seekable. TCK + Gold-safe with the extension on for two independent reasons: an index changes plans and never + results, and the new members are called by no bridge endpoint. See + [`docs/extensions/delta-recall.md`](docs/extensions/delta-recall.md). + + The checkpoint is a **caller-held token**, not a stored node — it rides the MAF session's state bag, + so no schema pays for it. Advancing it is an *acknowledgement*, not a read receipt: a turn that threw + advances nothing and its delta is replayed, because replaying a change set costs tokens while losing + one loses knowledge. + + Two things found while building it, both fixed here: + + - `MemoryService` now resolves the delta's owner scope through `IMemoryIsolationPolicy`, as every + other read does. A delta reads the repositories directly — the assembler is not in that path — so + passing a caller's scope straight through would have handed a caller who supplied only a `UserId` + an unfiltered, cross-owner answer. + - The extension **documentation drift guard** was enumerating its subjects from a hand-written list + and had therefore silently stopped covering each new extension as it was added; it now reads + `SchemaExtensionRegistry.CreateShipped()`. + +- **The working-memory tier — a compiled per-owner profile block (`MemoryOptions.WorkingMemory`).** + Off by default. Everything else the system retrieves is probabilistic (query embedding → global + vector top-K → owner post-filter → threshold); this is a **point-read by owner**, so it cannot be + starved. Starvation is measured, not theoretical: an owner's own facts inside the global top-60 + averaged **7, minimum 1**, and one real question retrieved **zero** facts from a graph holding 504 of + its own — all live, all above the floor. + + Ships as the `working-memory` schema extension, and it is the **first parity delta that removes an + upstream-only label**: `:User` leaves `UpstreamOnlyLabels` and `NetOnlyLabels` stays empty, so + adopting it *narrows* divergence. It is keyed by upstream's own unique property `identifier` under + upstream's own constraint name `user_identifier` — a correction to the design, which had proposed a + new `user_owner_unique` constraint on `owner_id`; adopting a label while keying it differently would + make the adoption nominal, the same spelling carrying a different meaning, which is exactly what the + parity verifier cannot catch. See [`docs/extensions/working-memory.md`](docs/extensions/working-memory.md). + + **Staleness is the kill rule.** Structured recall scores 8/9 on knowledge-update — the weakest + measured non-episodic type — so a block asserting the *old* value of an updated fact would + manufacture failures in exactly that type. Hence: full eager rebuild with no partial invalidation, + awaited inline so the contract is "after the write returns, the block is current", and the block is + **cleared** rather than left stale if a rebuild fails. A live canary asserts that superseding through + the production path leaves the new value and not the old. + + Rendering (`ContextFormatOptions.IncludeWorkingMemory`, also off by default) goes through the same + per-item admission and delimiting as facts — the block is compiled from extraction output, so it + earns no trust bypass. + +- **A separate similarity floor for reasoning traces (`RecallOptions.MinTraceSimilarityScore`).** + Null by default, which resolves to `MinSimilarityScore` — today's behaviour exactly. + + **This is a safety property, not a tuning knob.** At the shared 0.7 default, procedure retrieval + *never abstains*: a sweep found every threshold from 0.00 to 0.86 behaves identically — a measured + dead zone — so the one setting that looks like it controls procedure precision controlled nothing + across the whole range anyone would plausibly set. The measured knee is **0.92** (0.90 is the free + variant, at which no correct answer was lost). An agent handed a confident wrong procedure + *executes* it, where an agent handed nothing investigates — so recalling no procedure is a strictly + better failure than recalling the wrong one, and at the shared default only the worse outcome was + reachable. + + Honoured on **both** recall paths, asserted at the query rather than at the option, and raising it + leaves the other categories on the shared floor. + + A promoted procedure now also renders its length (`(16 steps)`) when match-quality projection is on: + replaying the archive task promoted a 16-call exploration, dead ends included, and rendered as a bare + outcome that is indistinguishable from a tight five-step recipe. + +- **The projection layer — render what the store already knows (`RecallOptions.Projection`, + `MemoryOptions.Projection`).** Retrieval computes a similarity score for every item and every + renderer discarded it, so a 0.72 near-miss reached the model looking exactly like a 0.99 match; the + graph holds `SUPERSEDED_BY` edges, conflicting facts and real source dates that never reached a + prompt; and triples drop the tense, participants and ordinals their source sentences still carry. + Five independent opt-in features now surface each of those: + + | Flag | What it renders | + |---|---| + | `AnnotateMatchQuality` | `[closest match, 0.72]` per item, and one `No stored item directly matches…` line when a section's *best* score is weak | + | `ResolveSupersessions` | `(since 2023-05-12; previously Globex)` from supersession edges live recall filters out | + | `RenderConflicts` | `CONFLICTING MEMORY — …` when two live recalled facts disagree | + | `AttachSourceQuotes` | `— said: "…"`, the shortest source sentence containing the fact's object | + | `GroundDates` / `ChronologicalOrdering` | the real date an item was stated, and optional within-section ordering | + + **Every flag is off by default and off is byte-identical**, asserted by SHA256 fingerprints over all + three render surfaces — the Core Markdown formatter, the Agent Framework `ChatMessage` mapper, and + the benchmark answer prompt — captured before any of this code existed and never regenerated. + + One pipeline, three surfaces. Projection runs once inside the context assembler (after budgeting, so + its reads are paid only for items that reached the prompt) and produces a surface-neutral + `MemoryContext.Projection`; all three renderers consume it through one shared helper, so a rendering + decision is made once and cannot drift the way a procedure-trust clause once did — fixed in the + benchmark harness while the product shipped the contradiction. + + Costs are bounded by construction: exactly one extra read per recall per read-feature (batched, + id-anchored, and enforced by test), a quote-length cap, a quotes-per-recall cap, and a supersession + chain cap. **Parity impact: zero** — no new labels, relationship types, properties, indexes or + migrations. + + New repository members are default interface methods, so no existing implementation breaks: + `IFactRepository.GetSupersessionPredecessorsAsync` and `IMessageRepository.GetByIdsAsync`. + +- **Schema extensions — optional, additive-only schema modules (`Neo4jOptions.Extensions`).** A named, + versioned module owns its declarations, its own migration namespace, its parity divergence, and its + entry in the ownership report. **The default is the empty set, which is the base schema, + byte-identical** — nothing about an existing deployment changes until an id is added. An unknown id + is rejected at startup listing the known ones, rather than ignored: a deployment that asked for an + extension and silently ran without it is the failure the mechanism exists to prevent. + + Extension migrations live at `Schema/Migrations/ext//000N_name.cypher` and are recorded under the + namespaced key `ext//000N_name`, with the owning id on the new `(:Migration).extension_id` + property. The base sequence always runs first and is untouched. This exists because a linear sequence + cannot host optional modules: two independently-written features each correctly claimed `0012` as + "next free after 0011", and a database enabling one and later the other would have had two scripts + fighting over one key in the unique-constrained migration bookkeeping — one silently skipped as + "already applied", leaving an index missing with nothing to report it. A base version key never + contains `/`, so the existing `migration_version` constraint already covers both namespaces. + + The first extension is `procedural`, a **retro-wrap**: its schema already shipped in base migration + `0011_trace_kind`, so activating it applies nothing.

That was false when written — not because extraction's +counter was broken, but because `PersistenceStage` had **no working-memory rebuild hook at all** +(`working-memory-tier.md` §5.2 specified one; it was never built). So the conversational path was +*also* producing nothing, for a different reason, and this document asserted its safety from a +counter that was working. Both halves were fixed in `0f6ddea` and `2a44537`; a later independent +review found the trigger set is still **incomplete** (entity merge, invalidation and delete paths +remain unhooked) — see the PR body for the current, scoped statement. + +**Also corrected:** the guessed fix said "plus the preference twin". There is no preference twin to +fix — `Preference` has no `mention_count`; its block section admits on confidence, which the +preference dedup path already bumps. `PreferenceQueries.MarkDeduplicated` being confidence-only is +correct. + +⚠️ **Consequence for this demo:** `SPIKE0_DEDUP_ON_CREATE=true` no longer reproduces a failing arm, +and the host's `DeduplicateOnCreate = false` override now works around a bug that is gone. Dropping +the override would let the demo run **shipped defaults**, which is the stronger story — it needs one +live verification run before the meeting, and until then the committed configuration is what was +rehearsed and what the screencast shows. + +### 2. `as_of` moves both clocks, and a demo that ignores that looks broken while the engine is right + +The first run of beat 5 returned **nothing** at March.

The +load-bearing part is the **retention exemption**: `PruneSessionTraces` prunes by age alone, so without +the exemption a promoted procedure is deleted by recency and the capability does not exist. + +Promotion had **never worked** before 2026-08-14: `PromoteAsync` wrote `"Procedure"` while every +filter compared against lowercase `"procedure"`, so promoted traces read back as `Episode`, were +invisible to `proceduresOnly` recall, and were pruned like any episode — fixed by centralising the +stored spelling and `toLower()`-normalising the Cypher comparisons (see +`docs/reviews/procedure-retrieval-precision-result.md` §1). Old rows work without migration. + +**Architecture-relevant caveat** from that instrument: the shipped `RecallOptions.MinSimilarityScore` +default (0.7) sits in a **dead zone** for procedure retrieval — every threshold 0.00-0.86 behaves +identically and never abstains; the measured knee is 0.92 — so procedure retrieval needs its own, much +higher threshold than semantic recall. + +#### 3.3.2 Owner-scoped vector recall: the owner-starvation pipeline + +Neo4j's vector index is **global**, so an owner filter is a post-filter over a top-K drawn from every +tenant.

The verifier itself is untouched; it already took the policy as a parameter. + +Composition can fail, and the failures are the point. Removing an upstream-only label that the base +policy does not list as upstream-only throws — the delta is stale, so either the label was already +adopted or it never existed upstream. Two extensions adding the same net-only label or relationship +type throws — a shape with two owners cannot be reported to one. Superset **properties** are the +deliberate exception: they are additive and may legitimately be declared by more than one extension. + +One axis is documentary rather than enforced: `ReserveUpstreamPropertyNames` is a request to upstream, +not a check on us, and nothing in the composition consumes it. It is asserted only by the +documentation test, which requires it to be named on the extension's page. + +## The three rules + +- **R1 — schema-additive-only.** An extension never renames, retypes, or repurposes a base shape. + This is the one rule with **code enforcement**, in three places: identity (id shape, version number, + migration-script naming) is checked at **startup** by the registry; the full disjointness check — + nothing an extension declares may already belong to base, and no two extensions may declare the same + shape — runs in the **unit suite on every build**, over every *registered* extension, active or not, + because an extension that collides with base is broken whether or not anyone has switched it on yet; + and a lint over every `ext/` migration script requires each statement to be a + `CREATE … IF NOT EXISTS` schema object or a `MATCH`-scoped backfill, refusing `DROP`, `REMOVE`, + `DELETE` and `DETACH DELETE`. +- **R2 — write-path isolation.** Extension data is written only through extension-specific APIs or + flags. Upstream-parity surfaces never call them. +- **R3 — base-read neutrality.** Extension-written data is invisible or harmless on base read paths. + +R2 and R3 have **no code enforcement and are not claimed to**. They are proven empirically per +extension by the **Gold-under-extension gate**: the full 178-case TCK bridge run with the extension on, +diffed against a same-build all-off control. Pass is *identical results*; any difference is a violation +and the extension does not ship. Run the treatment arm with `--extensions ` on the bridge. + +**Evidence to date: 178/178 on both arms** — the all-off control and the with-extensions treatment — +with no counter drift between them. That is the strongest statement this gate can make and it is worth +reading precisely: it says activating these extensions changes nothing a conformance run can observe. +It does not say the extensions were exercised by the run. Where an extension has a reason its own code +is unreachable from the bridge, its page says so ([`delta-recall`](delta-recall.md) and +[`arithmetic`](arithmetic.md) both do) — and where the gate *is* load-bearing rather than ceremonial, +its page says that too ([`working-memory`](working-memory.md)'s ownerless-write guard is the case: the +bridge writes are ownerless, so without the guard three cases turn into 500s). + +No extension has declared a TCK case profile of its own yet. `TckProfileDescriptor.None` is a real, +validated state rather than a placeholder — declaring a case folder that does not exist would be +exactly the ship-but-unreachable defect this codebase keeps catching, and a declared profile with a +minimum case count of zero is rejected outright. + +## Why migrations are namespaced + +Two independently-written designs each named their migration `0012`, each correctly reasoning "next +free number after 0011". A database enabling one and then the other a month later would have had two +different scripts fighting over a single key in the unique-constrained `(:Migration {version})` +bookkeeping — one of them silently skipped as "already applied", leaving an index missing that nobody +could see was missing. Namespaced keys cannot collide with base names (a base name never contains +`/`), so the existing unique constraint keeps covering everything. + +Base always runs first, and each namespace is internally linear. A database that enabled an extension +at base 0011 and later upgrades to a library shipping 0012 and 0013 replays those, then re-reaches the +extension's scripts and skips them through the ordinary applied-check. + +## Shipped extensions + +- [`procedural`](procedural.md) — the `trace_kind` promotion marker. +- [`working-memory`](working-memory.md) — the compiled per-owner profile block on upstream's `:User`. +- [`delta-recall`](delta-recall.md) — RANGE indexes over the clocks "what changed since I last looked?" + seeks on.

Promotion to a +third-party extension point is a 2.0 decision. So this section describes how an extension is written +*in this repository* — it is not, today, a plugin API. + +The smallest real example is [`procedural`](procedural.md), which declares one property and no +migration at all: + +```csharp +internal sealed class ProceduralSchemaExtension : ISchemaExtension +{ + internal const string TraceKindProperty = "trace_kind"; + + public string Id => "procedural"; // lowercase-kebab, frozen on first ship + public int Version => 1; + + public IReadOnlyDictionary> DeclaredProperties { get; } = + new Dictionary>(StringComparer.Ordinal) + { + [SchemaConstants.NodeLabels.ReasoningTrace] = + new HashSet([TraceKindProperty], StringComparer.Ordinal), + }; + + public IReadOnlySet DeclaredRelationshipTypes { get; } = new HashSet(StringComparer.Ordinal); + public IReadOnlySet DeclaredLabels { get; } = new HashSet(StringComparer.Ordinal); + + public IReadOnlyList MigrationScripts { get; } = []; // legal: a properties-only extension + public IReadOnlySet BaseResidentMigrations { get; } = + new HashSet(["0011_trace_kind"], StringComparer.Ordinal); // ownership of schema that predates this system + + public SchemaParityDelta ParityDelta { get; } = + SchemaParityDelta.Create(addNetSupersetProperties: [TraceKindProperty]); + + public IReadOnlySet DependsOn { get; } = new HashSet(StringComparer.Ordinal); + public TckProfileDescriptor TckProfile => TckProfileDescriptor.None; +} +``` + +The steps, and what each one is checked by: + +1. **Implement `ISchemaExtension`** in `src/AgentMemory.Neo4j/Schema/Extensions/`. `Id` must match + `^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*$` and `Version` must be ≥ 1 — both rejected at *startup* by the registry, because + the id is a path segment and a `(:Migration).version` key. +2. **Declare every shape you write** in `DeclaredProperties` / `DeclaredRelationshipTypes` / + `DeclaredLabels`. Prefer a property: a property is ungated by the parity verifier, while a label or + a relationship type is parity-gated. Two extensions may not claim the same `(label, property)`, + relationship type or label — every shape has exactly one owner, which is what makes the owners + report answerable. +3. **Add the extension to `SchemaExtensionRegistry.CreateShipped()`** — the single list, read by DI + registration *and* by every host-less caller (`schema-parity`, `schema-check`), so the two can never + disagree about what exists. A reachability test reflects over the assembly and compares against what + DI produces, so an implementation missing from that list is caught too. +4. **Write migrations, if any, at `Schema/Migrations/ext//000N_name.cypher`.** The + `MigrationScripts` entry is the **bare filename** — the `ext//` prefix is supplied by the + runner, and a value containing a slash is rejected. Every statement must be a + `CREATE … IF NOT EXISTS` schema object or a `MATCH`-scoped backfill; `DROP`, `REMOVE`, `DELETE` and + `DETACH DELETE` are refused by the lint. **Base migrations are exempt from that lint** — base is + allowed to do things an optional module is not, and it is reviewed on those terms. +5. **Declare the parity delta**, or `SchemaParityDelta.Empty` when there genuinely is none + ([`delta-recall`](delta-recall.md) is the shipped example of `Empty`, and its page argues why + stating that explicitly beats leaving it as an absence). Adopting an upstream-only label — as + [`working-memory`](working-memory.md) does with `:User` — is the **one legal overlap**, and it means + pairing a `DeclaredLabels` entry with a `RemoveUpstreamOnlyLabels` entry. Without the pairing it is + an undeclared label grab; with a stale one (a label the base policy does not list as upstream-only) + the composition throws. +6. **Write `docs/extensions/.md`.** This is enforced, not encouraged: a test drives itself from + `CreateShipped()` and fails when the page is missing, when it lacks any of `## Shape`, `## Cypher`, + `## Semantics`, `## Conformance`, `## Parity delta`, when a declared shape or migration filename is + not named on the page, when a parity-delta entry is not named on the page, or when this index does + not link it. +7. **Run the Gold-under-extension gate** — the treatment/control TCK diff described above. + +Two shapes that look like mistakes and are not: an extension with **no migration script** (procedural — +its DDL is base-resident), and an extension with **no declarations at all** (delta-recall — it declares +seven indexes through its migration and nothing else, because an index is invisible to the parity +verifier by construction). diff --git a/docs/extensions/arithmetic.md b/docs/extensions/arithmetic.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..292d5064 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/extensions/arithmetic.md @@ -0,0 +1,224 @@ +# `arithmetic` + +**Answers that must be computed rather than found.** + +16% of LongMemEval questions have a derived answer — a count, a difference, a latest-of-chain, a +duration, a list.

It also refuses +the `created_at` fallback the rest of the group ordering accepts: an interval between two extraction +timestamps measures when the system was *told* things, not when they happened. + +**Refusal is the recurring theme.** Every numeric operator refuses a group containing any unparsable +object rather than computing over the parsable subset — the change between two values that happened to +be readable is not the change over the chain. Nothing aggregates a single fact: an "aggregate" of one is +the fact restated, occupying a second slot in the same budget its input already occupies, and carrying +derived provenance for arithmetic never performed. + +The number parser is the **only** hallucination surface in the feature. It strips a leading currency +symbol and thousands separators and then defers entirely to `decimal.TryParse` under the invariant +culture. It does not attempt "twice a week", "a couple", "about 800", or unit normalisation — each of +those is a guess, and a guess here becomes a stored number wearing provenance that makes it look +verified. + +### Rendering + +`17 — derived: 12 (a1) + 5 (b2)` — the inputs and operator inline, so the model can **check** the +arithmetic rather than trust it.

The write path MERGEs extracted facts on those four properties and +`FindByTriple` looks them up the same way, so a derived node carrying them could be matched by either: a +user restating a number would silently merge *into* an aggregate, overwriting its value while leaving its +`DERIVED_FROM` edges and derivation string in place — a fact wearing provenance for arithmetic that never +produced it. Omitting the properties makes that **unreachable rather than unlikely**, since MERGE and the +lookup both require a non-null match on every column. Nothing is lost: the group read excludes derived +nodes by design, recall reaches them by vector, and isolation reads `owner_id`, which is still set. + +## Conformance + +**Guard G1 — the cascade is cardinality-safe.** `OPTIONAL MATCH` binds nothing on a store with no +derived facts, and the `SET` then applies to a null row: a no-op producing no extra rows, so the +surrounding statement's `count()` and `RETURN` are unchanged.

The second was caught by +two pre-existing tamper tests, correctly. + +Settled on an explicit grandfather list by preparation id: cannot over-apply, reviewable, names what +is exempted and why.

The drift guard then refused the run, and was right + +``` +abstention: corpus=TargetProportion run=AsSampled +``` + +The corpus was built with abstention targeting — that is why it holds 20 abstention questions — and +the run defaulted to `AsSampled`.

The corrected score (for the record) + +The artifact shows `BothCorrect 27 + MonolithicOnly 2` over `Comparable 29`: the **monolithic** arm +scored **29/29 (100%)**; the **decomposed** arm scored 27/29 (93%). The original text attributed +27/29 to the monolithic arm and built a "~7% answering-stage headroom" claim on it. That claim is +withdrawn: monolithic answering at perfect context missed nothing on this sample, and the doc's own +first Addendum (clean-context 96.6% at K=0) was never consistent with a 93% monolithic figure. + +### 2. The sample structurally could not produce a decomposition win + +A `DecomposedOnly` pair requires the monolithic arm to be wrong on that pair. The monolithic arm was +correct on **all 29** comparable pairs, so `DecomposedOnly = 0` was guaranteed the moment monolithic +swept the sample — "0 wins of 29" is partly preordained by sample selection (questions easy enough +for the monolithic oracle to answer perfectly), not purely a property of decomposition. The +pre-registered criterion ("kill if wins ≤ losses") still holds, but on this sample it could only +ever be triggered, never escaped: the headline "zero wins under the best possible conditions" +overstates what the sample was able to show. + +### 3. The actually-split pairs carry zero information about splitting + +Both counted losses (`6d550036`, `ba61f0b9`) come from pairs with `SubQuestionCount = 1` — pairs the +decomposer never split. Their failure mechanism is the composer being denied source context on a +passthrough sub-question, not multi-way decomposition. Among the **12 pairs that were actually +split** (2 sub-questions each), the score is **12/12 vs 12/12 — zero discordant pairs**. The +experiment therefore measured the cost of the single-sub-question passthrough path and measured +nothing, for or against, about splitting itself. + +### 4.

Retrieval + *precision* is separately measured — see `procedure-retrieval-precision-result.md`. + +### The raw arm, and why its number carries an asterisk + +Run 2026-08-14 (task 23.3): **45/50 = 90.0%**, on a cold build with no extraction at all. Three +caveats, all of which must travel with the figure: + +1. **The harness marked the run `accepted: false`**, for one reason: *"5 question(s) scored incorrect + and no answer-presence measurement was recorded, so this run cannot distinguish an extraction + failure from a retrieval failure."* That rejection is **inherent to raw mode rather than a defect in + the run** — the graph probe is only wired for modes that extract, and raw does not extract, so there + is no extraction step to attribute a failure to. The scoring itself (50 questions judged, 45 + correct) is sound. *Instrument note: the validator should exempt the raw arm from an + attribution requirement it cannot satisfy by construction.* +2. **Different corpus.** Raw built its own store; structured and hybrid ran on the frozen prepared + corpus. So `raw 90.0%` and `structured 90.0%` are **not** the same measurement of the same thing, + and the coincidence of the numbers is not evidence they are equivalent. +3. **One run.** Structured moved 14 points between two accepted runs; there is no reason to think raw + is steadier.

They rank retrieval strategies against each other; they +do not predict production accuracy. A run at budget 5 is a *ranking instrument*, not a *scoring* one, +and reporting it beside the 90% headline without that label would be the same metric substitution this +project keeps refusing. + +### Option C — inject distractor sessions into the live corpus + +We already have this on the oracle side (`--oracle-precision --distractor-sessions K`), and it measured +**flat**: 25 distractors, 9.2× the context, no accuracy change. Doing it against real retrieval would +mostly re-measure that null. + +**Verdict: already answered. Do not re-buy it.** + +## 4. Recommendation + +**Option B, as a pre-registered budget sweep**, and only when there is a retrieval change worth ranking. + +1. Reuse the frozen corpus. Sweep the structured budget over roughly `{30, 15, 8, 5, 3}`. +2. Record **realised coverage** per level — the void witness is that if coverage does not fall, the + budget never bound and the level measured nothing. +3. Confirm the coverage distribution actually lands in 0.5–0.75 before drawing a single conclusion. +4. Report every number as *"ranking at a constrained budget"*, never as an accuracy. + +**Do not run it speculatively.** It is an instrument for comparing two retrieval strategies, and there +is currently no candidate strategy worth comparing — that is what the nine experiments in +`quality-effort-and-what-did-not-move.md` established. Build the lever first, then use this to measure +it. + +The one candidate that might qualify is **query formulation (27.4)**, which is the only untested +retrieval lever left and which now has an instrument that can see it (27.1 made structured turn +coverage observable).

This corpus cannot exercise temporal memory at all + +Chased while preparing an ablation that would have turned on `MemoryOptions.ResolveTemporalQueries` +and re-run the frozen corpus. **The ablation is dead, and it died for free.** + +| Layer | What the corpus actually holds | +|---|---| +| `Message.TimestampUtc` | `DateTimeOffset.UnixEpoch.AddSeconds(counter)` — a synthetic ordering key, ~1970 (`AgentMemoryLongMemEvalAdapter.cs:1317`) | +| `Fact.created_at` | The **ingestion** clock — 2026-08-12 for this corpus (`FactQueries.cs:111`) | +| `Fact.valid_from` / `valid_until` | Never written; `TemporalValidityMode` ships `Ignore` | +| The conversation's real dates (2023) | Message *metadata* and the prompt text `Current Date: …` only | + +The as-of path filters `node.created_at <= datetime($systemAsOf)` +(`CypherQueryRegistry.cs:61`). Resolving "10 days ago" against a 2023 question date and recalling +as-of that instant would exclude **every fact in the store**, because all of them were created in +2026. Enabling the option would not fail to help — it would empty the context, and the result would +read as the feature being harmful. + +**So the temporal memory-type score (84.6% / 92.3%) is not measuring our bitemporal machinery.** It +measures whether date strings survive into the prompt. The taxonomy warns about metric substitution +for procedural; the same substitution is happening for temporal, one level deeper than it anticipated. + +**A corrected attribution.** `gpt4_8279ba03` ("what kitchen appliance did I buy 10 days ago") was +first read as a temporal-resolution failure. It is not. `RetrievedGoldCoverage` is **0 in both arms** +with 20 gold learned items present — the fact was learned and never retrieved. No temporal feature +would have changed it. + +### 2. A both-clocks default is wrong for the common question, and its failure is silent + +`MemoryService.RecallAsync` routes a resolved temporal query to `RecallAsOfCoreAsync(request, asOf, +asOf)` — **both** the valid clock and the transaction clock. That is the right reading of *"what did I +think back in March"*: reconstruct past belief. + +It is the wrong reading of *"what did I buy 10 days ago"*, which asks about the world at a past +instant using everything known **now**. + +The parser cannot tell those apart, so the choice is which default is safer, and the failure modes are +not symmetric: + +- **Valid-time only**, worst case: a later correction is applied to a past question. Usually desirable. +- **Both clocks**, worst case: on any host whose `created_at` is *import* time rather than + conversation time — every backfill, every migration, every history import — a "what happened last + month" query returns **nothing**, silently. + +The second failure is total, silent, and hits a whole class of deployment. **Valid-time-only should be +the default; belief reconstruction should be opt-in.** + +### 3. The answer-presence gate is meaningless on abstention questions + +For an `_abs` question the gold answer is a refusal sentence, so the gate matches its *own* tokens: + +``` +031748ae_abs MatchedTokens: [information, provided, enough, mentioned, role, + senior, software, engineer, but, manager] Coverage 0.909 +``` + +It called **19 of 20** abstention questions "answer present." PLAN 4.2 already found this at n=4 and +routed the sufficiency label to the dataset's own `IsAbstention` flag; the gate itself was never +fenced off. Any per-type capture or headroom figure that includes `_abs` rows is reading noise — +which matters, because 8.3c's episodic ceiling is computed from this gate. + +### 4. Over-answering on a false presupposition is the one shared failure + +Two of the three distinct abstention failures share a shape: the question presupposes something that +never happened (a role never held, a poster never presented). Retrieval returns the semantically +nearest rows, and **a near-match is rendered into the prompt identically to an exact match**. Nothing +in the assembled context says "you asked about X; this is about Y." + +`031748ae_abs` retrieved gold at 0.857 coverage and the sufficiency signal read **0.92** — confidently +answerable — for a question that is unanswerable by construction. This is the one failure mode where +the memory layer, not the answer model, is what could carry the fix. + +--- + +## What this decides, for free + +| Question | Verdict | +|---|---| +| Run a temporal-resolution ablation on the frozen corpus? | **No.** The corpus is not time-grounded; the as-of transaction filter would empty the context | +| Is `gpt4_8279ba03` evidence for temporal query parsing? | **No.** It is a retrieval miss with gold present and zero retrieved | +| Can per-type capture/headroom figures include `_abs` rows? | **No.** The presence gate matches the refusal sentence's own tokens | +| Is extraction the ceiling on this run? | **No.** `EvidenceLearned` true on all ten failures | + +### 5. The corpus this analysis depends on was one cold build from deletion + +`am-lme-longmemeval-prepared-20260812t14-base-e5c49cf7cbd74c78b2a123eeae968b0d` — 616 extraction +calls, ~52 minutes, and **the only corpus that has ever run abstention questions** — was not in +`artifacts/evaluation/pinned-volumes.txt`. It was protected solely as "newest cold build", so the +next cold build would have demoted it into the removable set. + +Worse, the pin file was resolved **against the working directory**, and a miss returned an empty pin +list with no message — so a launch from anywhere but the repository root treated every pinned corpus +as removable. The pin file's own header records a base already lost to this sweep, during a +`--preflight-only` run that omitted `--no-orphan-sweep`. + +Both are fixed: the corpus is pinned, and `LongMemEvalOrphanSweep.PinFilePath` now anchors to the +repository root and warns loudly when no pin file is found. The pin list is gitignored local state, +so the volume name is recorded here as well — a note in a file nobody reads is how the first one was +lost. + +## What still needs a decision + +- **Valid-time-only as the routing default** (finding 2) — free, unit-testable, and it fixes a real + silent-empty-recall bug for any host that imports history. +- **Time-grounding the corpus** — stamping messages with their session date and facts with their + source time. It requires a rebuild, and without it no LongMemEval run can say anything about + temporal memory. +- **Fencing `_abs` rows out of the presence gate** — free, and it re-opens the question of whether + 8.3c's episodic ceiling was computed over a clean denominator. +- **Episodic at a usable n.** Four questions cannot carry the assistant-content decision. diff --git a/docs/reviews/procedural-benefit-result.md b/docs/reviews/procedural-benefit-result.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..b5a03c37 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/reviews/procedural-benefit-result.md @@ -0,0 +1,240 @@ +# Procedural memory: the measured result, and exactly how far it goes + +**Task 24.1.** The claim below was first measured on 2026-08-13 and **re-run on 2026-08-14 to produce a +retained artifact**, because the original positive run left none — the only procedural logs on disk +were the six *void* runs that predate the wiring fixes, which all read `SHOWS BENEFIT: False`.

It is + also small in absolute terms, and the task was deliberately built so the shortest correct path is + discoverable but not guessable — a task where the obvious first call succeeds would show nothing. +- **No accuracy claim.** Procedural memory is measured here in completion, steps and tool calls. + LongMemEval-S contains no procedural questions at any sample size, so the accuracy number this + project publishes says nothing about this tier and must never be cited as if it did. + +The honest summary: **procedural memory demonstrably works on a task built to need it, once, on one +model.** Turning that into an effect size needs the task suite in 26.1 — at least three task shapes and +two models — and that work has not been done. + +## 4a. A second task was built, ran, and did NOT reproduce the effect (26.1) + +`ProceduralIncidentTask` — restore a service after a failed deploy — was written to be structurally +different from the rail task: a three-call chain, the gate before the payload rather than between two +lookups. It passed all seven static validity tests. + +**It does not discriminate.** Five attempts per arm, mechanism fully working: + +| | completion | mean steps | mean tool calls | +|---|---:|---:|---:| +| procedures | 100% | 4.0 | **3.0** | +| control | 100% | 3.8 | **3.0** | + +`SHOWS BENEFIT: False`, and **this is not a void run** — the witness reports +`proceduresInContextPerAttempt=[0, 1, 2, 3, 3]` and the recalled procedure is the correct chain. The +arm read a procedure and it bought nothing. + +**Why: the control solved it cold.** Per attempt, control tool calls were `[3, 3, 3, 3, 3]` — it never +paid a discovery cost, so there was none to save. The model orders *inspect registry → acquire change +window → republish* correctly first time, because **"take a change window before deploying" is standard +practice a model already knows.** + +### The fifth validity rule, learned here + +The rail task's four rules say the dependency must not be *inferable from names* and must be +*discoverable only by refusal*. Mine satisfied both and still failed, so the rules were necessary and +not sufficient. The missing one: + +> **The convention must be arbitrary, not merely enforced.** A gate the model would propose anyway +> costs nothing to discover, however strictly the environment enforces it. The rail task works because +> nothing suggests a *service bulletin* holds a clearance code, or that a session must be refreshed +> before a hold. A plausible gate is not a procedure worth remembering. + +**Static tests cannot check this** — it is a property of what the model already believes, not of the +code. Only running it finds out, which is the argument for running a new task cheaply before trusting +it. + +### What this does to the procedural claim + +It does **not** weaken the rail result: that run stands, with its witness and its noise floor. It does +mean the sample is still **one discriminating task**, not two. Generality remains unestablished, and +the honest count is now *two tasks attempted, one of which the benchmark could not measure.* + +## 4b. A third task: the gate worked, and promotion captured the wrong thing (26.1) + +`ProceduralArchiveTask` was built specifically to satisfy the fifth rule. Its gate — *warm the read +cache before retiring a record* — is genuinely arbitrary: not good practice, not a safety step, nothing +a model proposes unprompted. + +**The gate worked.** The task cost **16.4 tool calls** against the incident task's 3, so the model +really did have to explore. And the result was still `SHOWS BENEFIT: False`: + +| | completion | mean steps | mean tool calls | +|---|---:|---:|---:| +| procedures | 100% | 7.6 | **16.4** | +| control | 100% | 7.8 | **16.4** | + +**Why, and this one is a product finding rather than a task finding.** The promoted procedure was: + +``` +check_legal_hold → list_downstream_consumers → list_tags → get_storage_class → get_access_log +→ WarmCache → get_record_schema → list_snapshots → get_owner_team → get_record_size +→ check_encryption → list_partitions → ListIndexShards → check_replication_lag ×2 → RetireRecord +``` + +**Sixteen calls, twelve of them decoys.** The procedure that was stored is the *exploration*, not the +*solution*. Replaying it faithfully reproduces the entire flail, so the procedural arm saved nothing — +it was following a correct record of a wasteful path. + +### Non-refused is not the same as useful + +An earlier fix made promotion skip **refused** calls, after run seven stored +`PlaceHold then RefreshSession then PlaceHold` and the arm replaying it paid for the refused call +again. This is the next layer of the same problem: **a decoy is not refused.** It returns +*"no action required"* — a successful call that contributes nothing — and promotion records it. + +That is a real limitation of trace-based procedural memory, not a harness artefact: **promoting a raw +call sequence promotes the noise with the signal.** It is invisible on a short chain (the rail task +wastes almost nothing) and dominant on a long one. + +Fixing it properly needs a notion of *which calls contributed*, which a transcript alone does not +carry — determining it counterfactually would mean replaying subsequences, at a cost that exceeds the +saving. Recorded here as a known limit rather than papered over. + +### What three tasks now say + +| Task | Discovery cost | Procedure quality | Benefit | +|---|---|---|---| +| **rail** | moderate (6 calls) | clean — the chain *is* the solution | **yes**, −1 call | +| **incident** | none (3 calls, solved cold) | clean | no — nothing to save | +| **archive** | high (16 calls) | polluted — 12 of 16 are decoys | no — replays the flail | + +Procedural memory pays when the discovery cost is real **and** the recorded trace is close to minimal. +Those two conditions are independent, and only one of three tasks satisfied both. **The honest count +stands at one discriminating task of three attempted** — and the reason for each failure is now known +rather than guessed, which is worth more than a second confirming result would have been. + +## 5. The second instrument: retrieval precision (26.2) + +The harness above answers *"does using a procedure help?"*. It cannot answer *"does recall return the +**right** procedure?"* — and those two come apart in the dangerous direction. + +An agent with **no** procedural memory investigates: slower, and safe. An agent with the **wrong** +procedure executes — confidently, on a plan built for a different task. A promotion change that raises +hit-rate while also raising the wrong-procedure rate improves every efficiency measure it has. + +`--procedure-retrieval` runs a labelled set of 12 procedures × 20 queries through real recall and +scores it with `ProcedureRetrievalPrecision`. It costs **embedding calls only** — no chat model, no +judge — against a benefit harness that costs hundreds of agent turns. + +Three design choices carry it: + +- **Six of the twenty queries should abstain.** Nothing stored solves them. Without such cases, + abstention is unmeasurable and a retriever that always answers scores identically to one that knows + when to stay quiet. +- **Near-misses are deliberate.** "A key was posted publicly" must retrieve *revoke* (drain traffic + first), not *rotate* — an agent following the rotation procedure revokes a live credential. A set + where every wrong answer is obviously wrong measures nothing. +- **The abstention threshold is swept and reported.** Whether a retriever "answers" is entirely a + function of the minimum score it accepts, so a precision figure without its threshold is not + reproducible. + +**It reports correct / wrong / abstained, never an accuracy.** Abstention is not a failure — it is the +safe outcome, and folding it into the wrong column makes a cautious retriever look identical to a +reckless one.

Of six hybrid failures: + +| Failure | Session cov | Turn cov | Retrieval-shaped? | +|---|---:|---:|---| +| `gpt4_8279ba03` | **0.0** | 0.0 | **Yes** — found nothing | +| `352ab8bd` | 1.0 | **0.0** | **Yes** — right session, wrong turns | +| `51c32626`, `195a1a1b`, `852ce960`, `a2f3aa27` | 1.0 | 1.0 | No — exact evidence retrieved, still wrong | + +**Two of six.** And one of those two (`352ab8bd`) is now known to be **oracle-impossible** — 0/8 with +perfect context — so it cannot be fixed by any retrieval change. + +**That leaves one question of fifty with a plausible retrieval fix.** The ceiling is stated here, in +advance, so a result of "no change" is read as confirmation rather than disappointment. + +## 2. What is measured, and it is not accuracy + +**Primary endpoint: gold-TURN coverage**, not accuracy. + +This is the whole reason 27.1 came first. Turn coverage separates outcomes (correct 0.937 vs wrong +0.667) far better than session coverage does (1.000 vs 0.833), and until 27.1 it read 0.000 on every +structured question — the arm that ships was blind to the only signal with a lever behind it. + +Accuracy is a **secondary** endpoint and is expected to be flat. With one movable question in fifty, +accuracy cannot resolve a real effect: one question is 2 points, and the measured answer-model noise is +larger than that (19 distinct texts in 24 calls at temperature 1.0, which this deployment will not let +us lower). + +**Reporting accuracy as the primary endpoint here would guarantee a null result regardless of the +truth.** That is the trap this section exists to close. + +## 3. Arms + +| Arm | Query sent to retrieval | +|---|---| +| **Control** | The question text, verbatim — exactly what ships | +| **Rewrite** | One model call: restate the question as a standalone search query | +| **Expansion** | The question plus generated near-synonyms and entity aliases | + +The frozen corpus is reused, so **retrieval is the only variable**. Same corpus, same budget, same +answer model, same judge. + +## 4. Decision rules, fixed now + +1. **Ship a formulation arm only if it raises mean gold-turn coverage on the structured arm by more + than the control's own spread across its two accepted runs.** If the control's spread is unmeasured + (see 25.7 — different denominators are not repeats), the arm must be run twice to establish one. + No spread, no claim. +2. **A coverage gain with no accuracy change is still a positive result**, and is reported as a + retrieval result, not an accuracy one. A coverage gain that *lowers* accuracy is a negative result + and kills the arm — retrieving more of the right turns while answering worse means the arm changed + something other than retrieval. +3. **If coverage does not move on any arm, query formulation is retired**, and this document becomes + the record of why — like routing, decomposition, precision and representation before it. +4. **The two oracle-impossible questions in the sample are excluded from the improvable denominator** + and named in the report (27.3). + +## 5. Void witness + +A run where the rewriter **returned the input unchanged**, or failed and fell back to the verbatim +query, measured nothing and must print VOID rather than "no difference". + +Concretely: the run records, per question, whether the emitted query differs from the original. If +**fewer than 80%** differ, the arm is void and exits non-zero. This is the same guard that fired on the +decomposition smoke run, where the decomposer declined to split and the harness said so instead of +reporting a flat line. + +## 6. Cost, and the stop condition + +~250–300 calls: 50 questions × (1 rewrite + 1 answer + 1 judge) × 2 arms, on the existing frozen +corpus. No rebuild. + +**Stop after the first arm if its void witness fires or its coverage delta is under half the control +spread.** There is no case where a third arm is worth buying once the second has shown nothing. + +## 7. What this cannot establish + +- **Not a production accuracy claim.** One movable question of fifty, and answer-model noise larger + than one question. +- **Not transferable to a bigger corpus.** Coverage is saturated at 0.965–0.980 here (see + `making-retrieval-measurable-again.md`); a lever that does nothing at saturation may still matter + where coverage is genuinely distributed.

Why the null is unsurprising, and what it does not prove + +Three things predicted this, and the pre-registration recorded all of them before the spend: + +1. **The ceiling was one question.** Of six hybrid failures, two were retrieval-shaped, and one of + those two (`352ab8bd`) is oracle-impossible at 0/8 with perfect context.

There is almost nothing left to retrieve. +3. **Noise is larger than the effect.** The answer model runs at temperature 1.0 — this deployment + refuses to lower it — and returned 19 distinct texts in 24 calls on one question. + +**What this does not prove:** that query formulation is worthless in general. It is a null **for this +corpus**, where coverage is already saturated. A lever that does nothing at 0.98 coverage may matter +where coverage is genuinely distributed — which is exactly the regime `making-retrieval-measurable-again.md` +costs out, and exactly why that document recommends not buying it until there is a candidate worth +ranking. There now isn't one. + +## 5. What was kept + +The mechanism ships as **opt-in and off by default** (`--query-formulation verbatim`), byte-for-byte +the historical retrieval path. It is kept rather than reverted because the *instrument* is the durable +asset: if a future corpus is built where retrieval can be discriminated, the arm already exists and its +witness already works. + +The witness is the other thing kept, and it earned itself twice. Its first version compared +`changed / derived` — which read 100% on a run where the formulator saw two questions of fifty and +rewrote both, reporting `voidReason: null` on an arm that had barely run.
