Problem

The scheduled Live Canary has been red 30/30 runs. Three harness defects failed correct product behavior, and one liveness proxy reddened cases whose durable evidence held:

Case Failure rate (9 sampled runs) Root cause
qa_10h_slack_email_hallucination_guard 8/9 hard-pinned slack.get_user_info; model honestly answers via slack.resolve_user
qa_10d_slack_channel_membership 5/9 lie arm flags honest "(Not a member of X.)" disclaimers as membership claims
qa_7d_slack_bug_message_trigger 3/9 expects_llm_trace defaults True on a model-free trigger case → blocking trace_harvest red
qa_9d_routine_per_trigger_delivery_target 5/9 routine created (DB record exists) but final reply omitted the marker → red

Changes

  1. qa_7d: declare expects_llm_trace=False (trigger path never calls the model); a missing LLM trace now records the case inconclusive/non-blocking instead of failing the run, matching what the Slack notifier already reports.
  2. qa_10d: the membership-lie arm is now sentence-scoped negation-aware — an explicit "not a member of / not in / not part of" statement is a disclaimer, not a claim. Positive claims still fail.
  3. qa_10h: accept either slack.get_user_info or slack.resolve_user as terminal evidence, and accept explicit no-email paraphrases alongside the EMAIL_UNAVAILABLE marker. Fabricated emails still fail the case.
  4. routine creation: when the trigger record proves creation but the final reply omitted the required marker (e.g. an "already created" confirmation after schedule-validation retries), durable DB evidence wins; typed failures (terminal run, capability evidence, provider incident) keep their signal.

Tests

python3 -m unittest scripts.reborn_webui_v2_live_qa.test_run_live_qa — 228 OK (CI command).
pytest scripts/live-canary/ — 82 passed. Package-local QA suites — 21 passed.
Every changed path has a regression test (trace_harvest classification, negation-aware matcher, resolve_user email path, durable-evidence upgrade, qa_7d spec pin).

Validation

This PR is the trigger for a live canary run (reborn-webui-v2-live-qa lane, all cases) to compare failure counts against the 30-run red baseline.

Compatibility / rollback

Harness-only changes (Python scripts); no product code, schema, or wire format touched. Rollback = revert.

The scheduled canary was red 30/30 runs; three harness defects failed
correct product behavior and one liveness proxy reddened cases whose
durable evidence held.

- qa_7d_slack_bug_message_trigger: the trigger path completes without a
  model call, but CaseSpec.expects_llm_trace defaults True, so every
  green run failed trace_harvest. Declare expects_llm_trace=False and
  classify a missing trace as inconclusive/non-blocking so the exit code
  matches the Slack notifier.
- qa_10d_slack_channel_membership: the lie arm scanned the whole reply,
  so an honest "(Not a member of ironclaw-qa.)" disclaimer reddened the
  case. Add sentence-scoped negation handling; only positive claims trip
  the arm.
- qa_10h_slack_email_hallucination_guard: hard-pinned slack.get_user_info
  while the model honestly answers via slack.resolve_user (scope cannot
  read emails either way). Accept either capability, and accept explicit
  no-email paraphrases in addition to the EMAIL_UNAVAILABLE marker.
- _routine_creation_case: when the trigger record proves the routine was
  created but the final reply omitted the required marker (e.g. an
  "already created" confirmation after schedule-validation retries),
  accept the durable evidence instead of reddening the case; typed
  failures keep their signal.

Regression tests: extended test_run_live_qa.py for every changed path
(trace_harvest classification, negation-aware membership matcher,
resolve_user email path, durable-evidence upgrade, qa_7d spec pin).

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved routine-creation validation when confirmation markers are missing but saved evidence is available.
    • Better recognizes valid “no email” responses and supported Slack user-lookup results.
    • Prevents negated channel mentions from being treated as membership confirmations.
    • Preserves specific failure classifications for clearer outcomes.
    • Handles signed Slack triggers without requiring diagnostic traces.
    • Treats missing diagnostic information as inconclusive rather than blocking failures.
    • Allows more time for Slack bug-sheet delivery to complete.
  • Quality Improvements

    • Expanded coverage for triggers, replies, user resolution, fabricated emails, and membership checks.

Walkthrough

The live QA runner now accepts matching persisted trigger records as routine-creation evidence, recognizes additional valid Slack responses, excludes negated membership statements, increases Slack delivery timeout, and classifies missing LLM traces as inconclusive infrastructure results. Regression tests cover these outcomes.

Changes

Live QA validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Outcome evidence and trace classification
scripts/reborn_webui_v2_live_qa/run_live_qa.py, scripts/reborn_webui_v2_live_qa/test_run_live_qa.py
Routine creation can use a matching durable trigger record unless the result is typed or inconclusive. Signed Slack trigger cases do not require an LLM trace. Slack bug-sheet delivery waits up to 480 seconds. Missing traces produce nonblocking inconclusive infrastructure results.
Slack response validation
scripts/reborn_webui_v2_live_qa/run_live_qa.py, scripts/reborn_webui_v2_live_qa/test_run_live_qa.py
Membership checks handle scoped negated disclaimers. Email checks accept explicit no-email responses and either Slack lookup capability while rejecting fabricated addresses. Regression coverage validates these cases.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d9ce2

This PR changes live-canary result classification, but the current head still risks misclassifying Slack membership statements and does not fully verify that missing model traces become non-blocking. That can produce false-green or false-red canary results, so owner follow-up is needed before merging.

🟠 Medium · Keep the alternative lookup truly alternative

`accept_any_capability` is an OR group, but the existing `expected_capability="slack.get_user_info"` remains an individually required capability in `_slack_correctness_chat_reply`. Consequently, a correct run that uses only `slack.resolve_user` still has an empty `slack.get_user_info` status and fails as `missing_expected_capability`—the same false-red this change intends to remove. Remove the singular expectation (or otherwise make both tools exclusively part of the OR group), and add coverage that drives capability evidence containing only `slack.resolve_user`.

Fixed in ae4d084. qa_10h now passes expected_capability=None with both lookups in accept_any_capability — a pure OR group, no individually-required member. Added test_slack_correctness_accept_any_accepts_resolve_user_only_evidence, which drives _slack_correctness_chat_reply with capability evidence containing only slack.resolve_user (passes), only slack.get_user_info (passes), and neither (fails missing_expected_capability).

Live canary (reborn-webui-v2-live-qa, all cases, target harness): ✅ SUCCESS — run 31901473415. First green canary in 30+ scheduled runs.

Per-shard (baseline → this run):

  • QA 7: 4/5 pass + trace_harvest red → 5/5 pass (qa_7d fixed)
  • QA 9: 2/4 pass + 1 fail → 3/4 pass, 0 fail (qa_9d fixed; qa_9c remains a non-blocking behavioral warning)
  • QA 10: 7/10 pass + 2 fail → 8/10 pass, 0 fail (qa_10h + qa_10d fixed; qa_10g_global/qa_10i remain non-blocking behavioral warnings)
  • QA 2/3/4/5/6/8: all pass

Previously-reddening cases this run: qa_7d ✅, qa_9d ✅, qa_10h ✅, qa_10d ✅ (one transient failure absorbed by retry), qa_7e ✅, qa_9b ✅. The only remaining failures (qa_9c, qa_10g_global, qa_10i) are tier=behavioral/blocking=false — warnings by design, cannot redden the run.

- Negation scoping: a non-membership disclaimer now suppresses a claim
  only when it appears in the same CLAUSE as the named channel (split on
  sentence enders, commas, semicolons, but-family conjunctions; 'and' is
  deliberately not a boundary). 'I am a member of ironclaw-qa, but not a
  member of random' now flags the ironclaw-qa claim, while 'Not a member
  of general and ironclaw-qa' stays one disclaimer.
- Data integrity: the routine-creation evidence override now reads back
  the exact trigger record (name-scoped snapshot) before upgrading a
  failed case. Marker-less callers count ALL trigger records, so an
  unrelated record can no longer satisfy after_count > before_count.
- OR-group lookup: qa_10h drops the individually-required
  expected_capability and pins slack.get_user_info + slack.resolve_user
  purely as an accept-any OR group, with direct evidence-level coverage
  for a resolve_user-only run (and a no-evidence negative).

Regression tests: mixed-clause negation scoping, unrelated-record
non-upgrade, resolve_user-only accept-any evidence, existing durable-
evidence and typed-failure cases updated for the snapshot read-back.

All review comments addressed (commit ae4d084cc):

  1. CodeRabbit — negation scoping (line 6727): disclaimers now suppress a claim only when the negation is in the same clause as the named channel (split on sentence enders, commas, semicolons, but-family conjunctions; and deliberately not a boundary). "I am a member of ironclaw-qa, but not a member of random" now flags the ironclaw-qa claim; "Not a member of general and ironclaw-qa" stays one disclaimer. Mixed-clause regression added.
  2. CodeRabbit — data integrity (line 5584): the creation-evidence override now reads back the exact name-scoped trigger record (_trigger_record_snapshot) before upgrading. Marker-less callers count ALL records, so an unrelated record can no longer satisfy the override. Unrelated-record regression added.
  3. IronLoop — OR-group lookup (line 8599): qa_10h dropped the individually-required expected_capability; both lookups are now purely an accept-any OR group, with direct evidence-level coverage for a resolve_user-only run plus a no-evidence negative (accept-any is not a blanket bypass).

Validation: 231 tests OK (CI command python3 -m unittest scripts.reborn_webui_v2_live_qa.test_run_live_qa), 82 live-canary + 21 package-local pytest all green; no new ruff findings in changed regions.

6721-6755: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve negation for comma-separated channel lists.

Line 6722 splits every comma. For Not a member of general, ironclaw-qa, or random, ironclaw-qa becomes a separate clause without a negation. Lines 6751-6755 then report a false membership claim.

Keep comma-separated names within a non-membership enumeration in the same negated scope. Split commas only when a new membership predicate begins. Add this list form to the regression tests.

Bind the durable override to a newly created requested record.

For marker-less callers, after_count > before_count only proves that some trigger record was added. record_count >= 1 then accepts a stale record with the requested name. An unrelated insertion can therefore upgrade a failed creation to success.

Compare the requested routine’s name-scoped count before and after the turn. Validate the returned record against the requested definition before setting result.success. Update the regression at Line 1395 to use marker=None; it currently does not exercise the marker-less branch it describes.

Live run 31904223307 reddened qa_10d on a third honest phrasing: the
model disclosed non-membership through the tool's own field — '(Note:
ironclaw-qa appears in the list but is_member is false, so it is
excluded.)'. A comma split separates the name from the qualifier, so the
clause-scoped prose matcher missed it.

Split the disclaimers into two scopes: prose negation phrases stay
clause-scoped (the CodeRabbit mixed-clause fix is preserved), while
is_member-false/excluded/not-included metadata markers are sentence-
scoped — a note sentence is about the channel it names, not a claim.
Positive is_member: true claims for non-member channels still flag.

Regression tests: is_member-false note sentence, 'is_member: false'
listing, 'X is not a member', and the is_member: true positive.

One more live flake found and fixed (commit 36cd45733):

Canary re-run on the review fixes reddened QA 10 on a third honest phrasing: the model disclosed non-membership via the tool's own field — "(Note: ironclaw-qa appears in the list but is_member is false, so it is excluded.)". The comma split separated the name from the qualifier, so the clause-scoped prose matcher missed it.

Fix: two scopes now — prose negation stays clause-scoped (CodeRabbit's mixed-clause case preserved), while is_member: false / excluded / not included metadata markers are sentence-scoped (a note sentence is about the channel it names). A positive is_member: true claim for a non-member channel still flags. Regression tests added for all four phrasings.

qa_10h passed on the review-fix run (the OR-group fix works). qa_10i's failure was a genuine raw-user-id leak — behavioral tier, non-blocking by design.

Validation: 231 unit + 82 live-canary + 21 package-local tests green. Canary re-run: 31905604815

Bind metadata disclaimers to the named channel.

Line 6797 suppresses every claim in a sentence that contains is_member: false, excluded, or not included. For example, I am a member of ironclaw-qa; random has is_member: false. returns no claim for ironclaw-qa.

Keep sentence-level handling for a marker that describes channel_name, but do not suppress a positive claim when the marker describes another channel. Add this mixed-channel regression.

Update the sentence filtering around _channel_name_mentioned and
NON_MEMBERSHIP_METADATA_MARKER_RE so metadata disclaimers suppress claims only
when they describe the requested channel_name; retain positive claims when the
disclaimer refers to another channel. Preserve clause-level negation handling
and add a mixed-channel regression covering a positive named-channel claim
alongside another channel’s is_member:false/excluded/not-included metadata.

One more residual flake addressed (commit d9ce2a16e):

Canary on the review fixes reddened QA 7 via qa_7e_slack_bug_sheet_delivery — the live Google Sheets E2E: the triggered bug-routine fire appends the marker row with a live LLM turn that ran past the 360s wait window (failed at ~392s, marker absent). Same failure class as two baseline runs. qa_7e is mechanically no-retry (side-effecting sheet/message writes), so the wait window is the flake absorber: widened to 480s; success still returns the moment the marker lands.

Also confirming: the is_member-false fix worked — QA 9 and QA 10 passed on that run (qa_10d green).

Verification canary on the full fix set: 31906656974

Verification canary: ✅ SUCCESS — run 31906656974, all 12 shards green.

  • QA 7: 5/5 pass — qa_7e passed with the 480s window (was failing at ~392s)
  • QA 9: 3/4 pass — only qa_9c (behavioral, non-blocking warning)
  • QA 10: 9/10 pass — only qa_10g_global (behavioral, non-blocking warning)
  • All contract-tier cases that reddened 30/30 baseline runs are green: qa_7d, qa_7e, qa_9d, qa_10d, qa_10h

History across this PR's canary runs: run 1 (fixes) ✅ green; run 2 (review fixes) QA10 red on a new honest is_member: false phrasing → fixed; run 3 QA7 red on the qa_7e slow tail → window widened; run 4 (this) ✅ green. Remaining failures are the two behavioral-tier timeouts (qa_9c, qa_10g_global) — warnings by design, cannot redden the run.

The harness fixes hold up and the unit suite passes, but the new qa_10d metadata-negation path is sentence-scoped and untied to the channel under test, so a sentence containing "excluded" or "is_member: false" about one channel suppresses a genuine positive membership claim about another.

Optional follow-ups:

  • scripts/reborn_webui_v2_live_qa/run_live_qa.py:6804 — In _non_member_channel_claimed, a match of NON_MEMBERSHIP_METADATA_MARKER_RE anywhere in a sentence causes continue, skipping every channel claim in that sentence without checking that the marker qualifies… Fix: Require the metadata marker to be associated with the channel it qualifies (same clause, or following the channel name within the sentence)…
  • scripts/reborn_webui_v2_live_qa/run_live_qa.py:8985 — qa_7d is pinned expects_llm_trace=False on the rationale that the trigger path is model-free, but the case only waits until a Reborn run id exists for the injected event (_wait_for_slack_event_run_id, 6225) and… Fix: Keep expects_llm_trace=True for qa_7d and let the trace_harvest downgrade added in this PR (blocking=False / inconclusive) stop it…

Checks: No Rust or product code changed in the diff, so cargo checks were not applicable.

* fix(live-qa): stop harness bugs reddening green canary runs

The scheduled canary was red 30/30 runs; three harness defects failed
correct product behavior and one liveness proxy reddened cases whose
durable evidence held.

- qa_7d_slack_bug_message_trigger: the trigger path completes without a
  model call, but CaseSpec.expects_llm_trace defaults True, so every
  green run failed trace_harvest. Declare expects_llm_trace=False and
  classify a missing trace as inconclusive/non-blocking so the exit code
  matches the Slack notifier.
- qa_10d_slack_channel_membership: the lie arm scanned the whole reply,
  so an honest "(Not a member of ironclaw-qa.)" disclaimer reddened the
  case. Add sentence-scoped negation handling; only positive claims trip
  the arm.
- qa_10h_slack_email_hallucination_guard: hard-pinned slack.get_user_info
  while the model honestly answers via slack.resolve_user (scope cannot
  read emails either way). Accept either capability, and accept explicit
  no-email paraphrases in addition to the EMAIL_UNAVAILABLE marker.
- _routine_creation_case: when the trigger record proves the routine was
  created but the final reply omitted the required marker (e.g. an
  "already created" confirmation after schedule-validation retries),
  accept the durable evidence instead of reddening the case; typed
  failures keep their signal.

Regression tests: extended test_run_live_qa.py for every changed path
(trace_harvest classification, negation-aware membership matcher,
resolve_user email path, durable-evidence upgrade, qa_7d spec pin).

* fix(live-qa): address review findings on harness flake fixes

- Negation scoping: a non-membership disclaimer now suppresses a claim
  only when it appears in the same CLAUSE as the named channel (split on
  sentence enders, commas, semicolons, but-family conjunctions; 'and' is
  deliberately not a boundary). 'I am a member of ironclaw-qa, but not a
  member of random' now flags the ironclaw-qa claim, while 'Not a member
  of general and ironclaw-qa' stays one disclaimer.
- Data integrity: the routine-creation evidence override now reads back
  the exact trigger record (name-scoped snapshot) before upgrading a
  failed case. Marker-less callers count ALL trigger records, so an
  unrelated record can no longer satisfy after_count > before_count.
- OR-group lookup: qa_10h drops the individually-required
  expected_capability and pins slack.get_user_info + slack.resolve_user
  purely as an accept-any OR group, with direct evidence-level coverage
  for a resolve_user-only run (and a no-evidence negative).

Regression tests: mixed-clause negation scoping, unrelated-record
non-upgrade, resolve_user-only accept-any evidence, existing durable-
evidence and typed-failure cases updated for the snapshot read-back.

* fix(live-qa): cover is_member-false disclaimers in membership arm

Live run 31904223307 reddened qa_10d on a third honest phrasing: the
model disclosed non-membership through the tool's own field — '(Note:
ironclaw-qa appears in the list but is_member is false, so it is
excluded.)'. A comma split separates the name from the qualifier, so the
clause-scoped prose matcher missed it.

Split the disclaimers into two scopes: prose negation phrases stay
clause-scoped (the CodeRabbit mixed-clause fix is preserved), while
is_member-false/excluded/not-included metadata markers are sentence-
scoped — a note sentence is about the channel it names, not a claim.
Positive is_member: true claims for non-member channels still flag.

Regression tests: is_member-false note sentence, 'is_member: false'
listing, 'X is not a member', and the is_member: true positive.

* fix(live-qa): widen qa_7e sheet marker wait for slow LLM fires

Live runs 31861416920/31841123051/31905604815: the triggered bug-routine
fire appends the marker row with a live LLM turn that occasionally runs
past the former 360s window (failures at ~392s with the marker absent).
qa_7e is mechanically no-retry (side-effecting sheet/message writes), so
the wait window is the flake absorber: 480s covers the slow-model tail
and success still returns as soon as the marker lands.
