2026-08-27 — cloud-agent — KANBAN-102 → blocked (sibling push) Entity pin live on #56 (cursor/dojo-pin-v010-a8ad, 85 surgical tests green). Sibling commits ready under /tmp/pin-check/{llm-mailroom,The-Mailroom} + regenerated patches (mailroom CHANGELOG historical @v0.9.0 bullet restored). All three git apply --check clean on fresh main. Still 403 to Exios66/llm-mailroom and Exios66/The-Mailroom without CONSUMER_REPOS_GITHUB_TOKEN. Unblock: set that secret, or git am the patches in those repos and open PRs.
2026-08-27 — cloud-agent — pin llm-dojo-scoring@v0.10.0 Artifact paths /opt/cursor/artifacts/*-pin-v0.10.0.patch were absent on this VM; recreating pins from the v0.10.0 release + prior @v0.9.0 pattern. Entity: v0.7.0→v0.10.0 on branch cursor/dojo-pin-v010-a8ad. Mailroom / The-Mailroom: push denied (403) without CONSUMER_REPOS_GITHUB_TOKEN — writing patches under /opt/cursor/artifacts/.
2026-08-26 — cloud-agent — stratified-120 A/B results Six runs on pinned manifest (120 filenames, seed 42, v5 corpus fp 05f05e9f…). Sorter: v6 doc_type 0.9917 / subclass 0.5917 / exact 0.5833 → v7 doc_type 0.9917 / subclass 0.6917 / exact 0.6833 (+10.0pp exact, zero doc_type regression). Contracts (n=24 CUAD-scored, 48 routed incl. merger): v0 overall 0.6884 → v1 0.8444 (+15.6pp). Insurance (n=24): v0 0.6957 → v1 0.6904 (flat). Card → in_review; experiment log + site regenerated.
2026-08-26 — cloud-agent — stratified-120 A/B tranche claimed KANBAN-101 → in_progress. Built v5 corpus (export_hf_docclass_merged.py → data/datasets/docclass_merged_v5.jsonl, 1,210 rows / 5 pilot classes). Pinned same-surface manifest: data/manifests/docclass_ab120_s42_filenames.jsonl (24 rows/class, seed 42). Reserved experiment names: sorter qwen_qwen3.7-flash_sorter_docclass_{v6,v7}_docclass_ab120_s42; contracts …_contracts_specialist_docclass_{v0,v1}_…; insurance …_insurance_claims_specialist_docclass_{v0,v1}_…. Intake arm = insurance_claims_specialist (no LLM intake agent in entity repo). Launching six paid runs on shared manifest.
KANBAN-098 DONE — Lane B composed-path trap FIXED; #17 closed — the arbiter-approved re-extraction now fires end-to-end. Root cause kept intact on purpose: arbiter_node’s approval-time increment of arbiter_retry_count is load-bearing (the retrying extract node reads the count to weave the fix-list into its prompt), so the fix relaxes after_arbiter’s bound to approval-INCLUSIVE (< 1 → <= 1) instead of moving the counter — first approval dispatches to retry_extract, a SECOND arbitration demanding another retry still finds the budget spent and escalates, and the one-retry-per-document bound is unchanged. Proof (llm-mailroom cac4256, pushed 9b119a6..cac4256): NEW src/tests/test_kanban098_arbiter_retry_path.py — 3 network-free composed-path pins driving the REAL graph (approve → re-extract → re-judge → compile → archive with NO route-for-review span; retried extraction provably re-judged complete; plus the still-bounded second-demand escalation after exactly one retry); Lane-B unit pin updated to the approval-inclusive contract; notebook 03’s bounded-retry narrative + stored outputs REGENERATED so the suite demonstrates the fixed reality (path now reads … arbitrate-verdict → extract-fields → judge-verify → compile-report …); bench script_client spec hints widened to dict | list (sequence scripting existed but was untyped); CHANGELOG [Unreleased] ### Fixed entry same commit; full mailroom suite 462 passed (459 prior + 3); #17 CLOSED with full-trail closing comment. Test-authoring lesson worth keeping: extract and retry_extract share the traced span name extract-fields, so composed-path assertions must count occurrences / look AFTER arbitrate-verdict, not for a distinct name.
KANBAN-095 DONE — full notebook suite 00–08 shipped; #15 closed; trap spawned as KANBAN-098 — implementation complete per the plan’s build order, all in one governed commit after Jack’s sign-off to proceed. Shipped (llm-mailroom 9b119a6, pushed b39cc2d..9b119a6): all nine notebooks 00–08 with stored headlessly-reproducible outputs on the REAL graph (run_pipeline — checkpointer, routers, bins, SQLite) via the network-free mock seam; honesty labels everywhere. Dynamics notebooks teach MEASURED truth, not doc-quoted guesses: confidence bands (≥0.95 straight / 0.70–0.95 retry+Lane A / <0.70 human siding), judge gate [low, judge_band_high), Lane A fail-safe semantics (agree@0.88 still escalates), the transient-vs-confidence budget separation proven live with genuine openai.APIConnectionErrors (L-13: five blips burned ZERO confidence retries). Defect discovered & honestly demonstrated rather than smoothed over: notebook 03 shows the Lane B composed-path trap — approving arbiter sets arbiter_retry_count=1 while after_retry_extraction_gated demands < 1, so approved re-extractions escalate instead of firing retry_extract; both halves unit-green separately, composition dead-ends. Spawned BEFORE close per §5(f): KANBAN-098 (llm-mailroom #17), claimed by me at spawn. Bonus bench fix: LabSandbox.open() made idempotent (the with open_sandbox(): pattern double-opened and leaked MAILROOM_BASE_DIR into a second tmpdir — found BY the new guard suite). Proof: src/tests/test_notebook_suite.py enforces all four PLAN duties (existence/title/honesty cells; nbclient re-execution from BOTH PLAN cwds matching committed outputs; lab-vs-routing threshold pins + env restoration; AST secret/network scans); guards 49 passed, full mailroom suite 459 passed (410 baseline + 49); README rescoped; CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry same commit; #15 CLOSED with full-trail closing comment naming commit + changelog.
RECONCILIATION: premature contracts_specialist_v40 registration repaired (one-line) to restore repo-wide imports — at close-out, import src.prompts was NameError-broken for EVERY consumer: a dict registration ("contracts_specialist_v40": CONTRACTS_SPECIALIST_V40) landed while the constant is still undefined, and stayed broken through 6 bounded poll attempts over ~5 minutes. Per the conflict rule (breakage repair ≠ scope theft; later timestamp reconciles, never reverts blindly), I removed ONLY that one dict line and left a marked TODO for its owner to re-add in the same edit that defines CONTRACTS_SPECIALIST_V40 — no prompt content invented, no other lane file touched (their uncommitted scripts/prompt_engineer.py mods + untracked scripts/sync_edge_suites.py left exactly as found). kanban097+kanban090 suites green after repair.
INCIDENT REPORT: canonical experiment-log JSONL truncated before my session — derived tree protected, reconstruction carded — while closing KANBAN-097 I ran the standard after-run regeneration (render_experiment_log.py → 42 records; build_site.py), and the new orphan-pruner immediately tried to delete 162 tracked run files (043–204) because the local reports/experiment_log.jsonl holds only 42 rows vs the 204 KANBAN-094 closed with this morning (6127d5f). Timeline proof it predates my session: my FIRST log scan at ~17:02 already counted 29 total runs. The JSONL is gitignored/local-only, so I restored the derived tree with git checkout -- docs/data/ (204 files verified back) and did NOT commit any derived-tree change; site rebuild is postponed until reconstruction. Opened KANBAN-099 with the full reconstruction plan (rebuild from tracked docs/data/runs/{001..204}.json + mailroom mirror, merge the 42 current rows incl. the new agent_bench records, add a count-equality pin). No silent papering-over: until reconstruction lands, treat experiment-log counts in any run since ~midday as unreliable.
KANBAN-097 CLOSED (done) — the directive is delivered end-to-end: every roster role has a proper eval task, baselines ran, one data-backed mutation cycle completed with a matched A/B, and the residue spawned KANBAN-098 before close. Eval tasks shipped: edge suites (specialists + NEW blind-classification for sorter/reviewer), judge-mutation (correctness), conflicts (arbiter/boss) — all deterministic, --dry-run-gated, append-only-logged. Results: judge v0 recall 1.00/FPR 0.88 → pilot_v1 recall 0.60/FPR 0.00 (matched arm; Pareto trade — v1 recommended for pipeline gating where false escalations are the costly error); boss 1.00 / arbiter 0.70 on conflict resolution; reviewer 1.000 blind accuracy across all transforms (the 0/20 was a GT-label artifact: agent-key substrings vs taxonomy keys — fixed + suite re-stratified); insurance specialist v0 fabricated on ALL 20 adversarial items (30 true fabrications incl. template fills) → mutation insurance_claims_specialist_v1 (EVIDENCE-ONLY VISIBILITY) eliminated the template/prior-fill class and lifted null discipline to 3/3; residual = summary-field compositions of visible tokens (scorer-band question) + claim_type partial-view guesses → KANBAN-098. Defects found & fixed en route: no-op pilot_v1 mutation (anchor drift), served-model recording (JudgeAgent taxonomy override), classifier construction seam, GT-label canonicalization, manifest version-suffixing (an arm had clobbered its sibling’s item-level evidence). Suite: kanban097 pins 12 passed; records appended to the canonical log; CHANGELOG [Unreleased] updated in this close-out commit.
KANBAN-097 BASELINE RESULTS (first cross-role sweep) + two eval-artifact defects fixed + mutation 1 registered — qwen3.7-flash pilots, deterministic machine scoring, every completed run appended to the canonical log (task agent_bench): judge-mutation (deepseek-v4-flash via the taxonomy judge.model override — bench now records the SERVED model after discovering JudgeAgent silently swaps the BaseAgent default): v0 = defect recall 1.00 but clean-FPR 0.88 (7/8 false flags — over-flagging pathology); repaired pilot_v1 (concurrent lane’s own runs @n=18/24) = recall 0.60–0.65 / FPR 0.00 — the label-derived-from-verdicts lesson eliminates false flags at a recall cost; matched limit-8 A/B arm in flight. conflicts: boss 10/10 = 1.00, arbiter 7/10 = 0.70 on planted-defect rivals. edge insurance specialist (insurance_claims_specialist_v0): no_fabrication 0/20 — 30 true fabrications verified absent even from UNTRANSFORMED sources (template fills CLM-SAMPLE-001, composed damages narratives, claim_type guesses on near-empty views); zero scorer misses (3-bucket audit). TWO EVAL-ARTIFACT DEFECTS found & fixed before trusting numbers: (1) edge_sorter GT labels were agent-key substrings (contracts) instead of taxonomy keys (contract) → reviewer scored 0/20 by artifact; labels canonicalized + suite re-stratified round-robin (first-20 mix now 6/6/5/3), reviewer rerun in flight; (2) my new classifier path crashed constructing _StructuredAgent (missing agent_name) mid-bench — fixed + construction pin added (the dry-run gate can’t catch call-time seams; tests now do). MUTATION 1 registered: insurance_claims_specialist_v1 = v0 + ONE lesson (EVIDENCE-ONLY VISIBILITY — populate a field only when its exact value is visible verbatim; partial views ⇒ null) via single-anchor .replace() off the real base; derivation guard pinned; same-seed A/B in flight.
PUSH NOTE (shared-clone hygiene) — KANBAN-097 close-out landed on origin/main as 6a5d44a via rebase-in-temp-worktree (this clone held unstaged Lane-B work: scripts/prompt_engineer.py mods + untracked scripts/sync_edge_suites.py — untouched, still yours). Local clone main is one commit behind origin (93ed55f -> 6a5d44a, governance-only delta incl. residue card renumber KANBAN-098->KANBAN-100 after colliding with your claimed Lane-B 098); git pull --rebase when convenient will fast-forward cleanly around your dirty files.
RECONCILIATION: premature contracts_specialist_v40 registration repaired (one-line) to restore repo-wide imports — at close-out, import src.prompts was NameError-broken for EVERY consumer: a dict registration ("contracts_specialist_v40": CONTRACTS_SPECIALIST_V40) landed while the constant is still undefined, and stayed broken through 6 bounded poll attempts over ~5 minutes. Per the conflict rule (breakage repair ≠ scope theft; later timestamp reconciles, never reverts blindly), I removed ONLY that one dict line and left a marked TODO for its owner to re-add in the same edit that defines CONTRACTS_SPECIALIST_V40 — no prompt content invented, no other lane file touched (their uncommitted scripts/prompt_engineer.py mods + untracked scripts/sync_edge_suites.py left exactly as found). kanban097+kanban090 suites green after repair.
INCIDENT REPORT: canonical experiment-log JSONL truncated before my session — derived tree protected, reconstruction carded — while closing KANBAN-097 I ran the standard after-run regeneration (render_experiment_log.py → 42 records; build_site.py), and the new orphan-pruner immediately tried to delete 162 tracked run files (043–204) because the local reports/experiment_log.jsonl holds only 42 rows vs the 204 KANBAN-094 closed with this morning (6127d5f). Timeline proof it predates my session: my FIRST log scan at ~17:02 already counted 29 total runs. The JSONL is gitignored/local-only, so I restored the derived tree with git checkout -- docs/data/ (204 files verified back) and did NOT commit any derived-tree change; site rebuild is postponed until reconstruction. Opened KANBAN-099 with the full reconstruction plan (rebuild from tracked docs/data/runs/{001..204}.json + mailroom mirror, merge the 42 current rows incl. the new agent_bench records, add a count-equality pin). No silent papering-over: until reconstruction lands, treat experiment-log counts in any run since ~midday as unreliable.
KANBAN-097 CLOSED (done) — the directive is delivered end-to-end: every roster role has a proper eval task, baselines ran, one data-backed mutation cycle completed with a matched A/B, and the residue spawned KANBAN-098 before close. Eval tasks shipped: edge suites (specialists + NEW blind-classification for sorter/reviewer), judge-mutation (correctness), conflicts (arbiter/boss) — all deterministic, --dry-run-gated, append-only-logged. Results: judge v0 recall 1.00/FPR 0.88 → pilot_v1 recall 0.60/FPR 0.00 (matched arm; Pareto trade — v1 recommended for pipeline gating where false escalations are the costly error); boss 1.00 / arbiter 0.70 on conflict resolution; reviewer 1.000 blind accuracy across all transforms (the 0/20 was a GT-label artifact: agent-key substrings vs taxonomy keys — fixed + suite re-stratified); insurance specialist v0 fabricated on ALL 20 adversarial items (30 true fabrications incl. template fills) → mutation insurance_claims_specialist_v1 (EVIDENCE-ONLY VISIBILITY) eliminated the template/prior-fill class and lifted null discipline to 3/3; residual = summary-field compositions of visible tokens (scorer-band question) + claim_type partial-view guesses → KANBAN-098. Defects found & fixed en route: no-op pilot_v1 mutation (anchor drift), served-model recording (JudgeAgent taxonomy override), classifier construction seam, GT-label canonicalization, manifest version-suffixing (an arm had clobbered its sibling’s item-level evidence). Suite: kanban097 pins 12 passed; records appended to the canonical log; CHANGELOG [Unreleased] updated in this close-out commit.
KANBAN-097 BASELINE RESULTS (first cross-role sweep) + two eval-artifact defects fixed + mutation 1 registered — qwen3.7-flash pilots, deterministic machine scoring, every completed run appended to the canonical log (task agent_bench): judge-mutation (deepseek-v4-flash via the taxonomy judge.model override — bench now records the SERVED model after discovering JudgeAgent silently swaps the BaseAgent default): v0 = defect recall 1.00 but clean-FPR 0.88 (7/8 false flags — over-flagging pathology); repaired pilot_v1 (concurrent lane’s own runs @n=18/24) = recall 0.60–0.65 / FPR 0.00 — the label-derived-from-verdicts lesson eliminates false flags at a recall cost; matched limit-8 A/B arm in flight. conflicts: boss 10/10 = 1.00, arbiter 7/10 = 0.70 on planted-defect rivals. edge insurance specialist (insurance_claims_specialist_v0): no_fabrication 0/20 — 30 true fabrications verified absent even from UNTRANSFORMED sources (template fills CLM-SAMPLE-001, composed damages narratives, claim_type guesses on near-empty views); zero scorer misses (3-bucket audit). TWO EVAL-ARTIFACT DEFECTS found & fixed before trusting numbers: (1) edge_sorter GT labels were agent-key substrings (contracts) instead of taxonomy keys (contract) → reviewer scored 0/20 by artifact; labels canonicalized + suite re-stratified round-robin (first-20 mix now 6/6/5/3), reviewer rerun in flight; (2) my new classifier path crashed constructing _StructuredAgent (missing agent_name) mid-bench — fixed + construction pin added (the dry-run gate can’t catch call-time seams; tests now do). MUTATION 1 registered: insurance_claims_specialist_v1 = v0 + ONE lesson (EVIDENCE-ONLY VISIBILITY — populate a field only when its exact value is visible verbatim; partial views ⇒ null) via single-anchor .replace() off the real base; derivation guard pinned; same-seed A/B in flight.
KANBAN-097 COORDINATION: concurrent-lane reconciliation + silent no-op mutation REPAIRED — mid-session, a parallel writer landed work in this shared tree inside KANBAN-097’s scope (first seen 17:08): insurance GT curation (realgt rewritten to 13 verified rows; new insurance_claim_suspect.jsonl holding 387 rows with suspect_fields annotations) and a derived prompt judge_correctness_docclass_pilot_v1 in src/prompts_docclass.py (label-consistency lesson: label DERIVED from field verdicts — evidence-backed diagnosis of judges writing all-correct verdicts with a non-“accurate” label). Reconciliation per §4/§5: KANBAN-097 is the UMBRELLA card for this whole directive — both lanes belong here, no duplicate card; lane split = their GT curation + judge mutation, my bench tooling + cross-role baselines + A/Bs. DEFECT FOUND & REPAIRED: the v1 .replace() anchor "Docclass variant: judge_correctness_docclass_pilot_v0" occurs ZERO times in the base (authored-fresh markers carry no _pilot infix — real marker ends judge_correctness_docclass_v0 (KANBAN-090)), so str.replace() silently returned v0 unchanged and the registered v1 was byte-identical to v0 (verified programmatically before repair). Repair preserves the lesson verbatim and re-derives off the REAL single-occurrence anchor; a no-op-mutation guard test is being added so this failure mode can never ship silently again. Any A/B previously measured against that v1 measured noise, not the lesson. Anchor-drift discipline exists precisely for this (kanban090 test doctrine).
KANBAN-097 CLAIMED (in_progress) + rule-4 repair: unclaimed working-tree work absorbed — human directive 2026-08-24: prompt mutation iteration testing across the docclass roster (KANBAN-090 family) PLUS proper eval tasks scoring performance/success of the iterated prompts. Session pre-flight found UNCOMMITTED, UNCLAIMED work in the tree (git status): insurance_claims_specialist_v0 + InsuranceClaimsSpecialist (7th specialist vendored from llm-mailroom), agents/pipeline_agents.py (reviewer/boss/arbiter/reporter/transcriber runnable wrappers defaulting to the pilot docclass variants), scripts/run_agent_bench.py (edge / judge-mutation / conflicts modes, deterministic scoring), scripts/gen_edge_cases.py (273 edge items across 5 agent suites — truncate/redact/garble/dup/near-empty/injection/confusable-title transforms with machine-checkable expectations), scripts/gt_workbench.py, and data/gt/ (hand GT 34+11+27 rows for contract/corporate_record/correspondence + 400 insurance real-GT rows). No card owned any of it — per §4 that is an in_progress card by definition; KANBAN-097 (#51) now owns it. Pre-claim verification done: kanban090 pins green (6/6), all bench scripts import clean, GT shapes match specialist schemas, judge/specialist wiring verified. Plan: land the foundation house-grade (–dry-run gates, reviewer/sorter classification mode so EVERY roster role has an eval task, compact append-only experiment-log records), network-free test pins, qwen3.7-flash baselines per role, failure-cluster diagnosis → one surgical mutation per failing surface → same-seed A/Bs with noise-floor honesty.
KANBAN-096 IN_REVIEW (capability landed) — entity-side Modal+vLLM serving capability built and verified. Shipped: deploy/modal_vllm.py (sibling app, shared knob contract, persistent entity-hf-cache volume); [deploy] extra + requirements/deploy.txt under the KANBAN-081 manifest law; .env.example flip block documenting the cross-repo contract; scripts/smoke_vllm_endpoint.py; deploy/README.md runbook; guard suite 21/21 network-free green (tests/test_kanban096_modal_vllm.py). Bonus defect fix surfaced by the work: OPENROUTER_BASE_URL had been bound at import time, so dotenv-set values never reached the clients — seam now resolves AT CLIENT-BUILD TIME via resolve_openrouter_base_url() / resolve_openrouter_api_url() across agents/base_agent.py, src/llm_chain.py, src/classifier.py, with THE dotenv-regression pin guarding it forever. Cross-repo: mailroom verify-only pass 12/12, CHANGELOG verified-entry pushed (c31bfd5), mailroom issue #16 CLOSED as verified. Entity suite: 685 passed / 3 failed / 4 skipped — failures are the documented kanban076 hub-sha chronic + PRE-EXISTING docclass drift (39b3d5a, Aug 18: taxonomy gained attorney_demand without sorter_docclass_v0 listing it; zero overlap with this card’s files; flagged for its own follow-up card). OpenRouter remains the default serving path — this card adds a capability, it moves nothing by default.
KANBAN-096 CLAIMED (in_progress) — human directive 2026-08-24 (Discord): “How do we integrate and utilize modal + vllm in both our llm-mailroom and entity extraction pipeline? … IN ADDITION TO ALL CONFIG FILES AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE NECESSARY TO RUN THESE ENHANCEMENTS LOCALLY.” Recon first: llm-mailroom ALREADY ships this capability complete — KANBAN-064 (v0.4.1): deploy/modal_vllm.py Modal app (env-knob MODEL/GPU/QUANTIZATION/MAX_MODEL_LEN/API_TOKEN, persistent HF-cache volume), [deploy] extra, deploy/README.md runbook, .env.example knobs, 12 network-free tests — so the mailroom half is verify-only (llm-mailroom #16). The entity side never got its own integration: the one local-vLLM benchmark (KANBAN-052’s qwen3-8b × contracteval_v0 on an RTX A5000) was a one-off via an OPENROUTER_BASE_URL override hack with no committed app/runbook/guards. This card builds the entity capability as a sibling under ONE shared env contract (VLLM_BASE_URL/VLLM_API_KEY) so a single Modal deployment can back both pipelines: entity deploy/modal_vllm.py, provider-seam documentation through the two real chokepoints (agents/base_agent.py::llm() LangChain eval path + src/openrouter_utils.py raw path incl. vision classifier), [deploy] extra wired through the KANBAN-081 dependency-manifest law, config/env examples, deploy runbook + smoke script, network-free guard suite. OpenRouter stays primary; zero runtime behavior change when env unset. Tracked as #50 with claim comment posted.
KANBAN-094 → in_review (truth committed) — commit 6127d5f: all 9 side-log rows merged into the canonical append-only reports/experiment_log.jsonl (195 → 204 rows, hazard-sanitized, chronological tail), side file deleted after absorption proof; experiment_log.md, site data, pre-render includes, and the rendered Posit pages ALL regenerated from THE single source (204 run files {001..204}, deep-link pin 204=204); build_site.py now prunes orphaned run files and its --check detects file-level drift; _pre-render.py re-execs into the repo venv when quarto drives it with bare python3; CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry in the same commit; NEW tests/test_kanban094_single_source_truth.py (5 network-free pins). Verification of the formerly-chronic posit pair is running at lane-move time; done-lane move follows green.
KANBAN-095 CLAIMED (in_progress) — human directive 2026-08-24 (Signal): the llm-mailroom notebooks were never formalized as a plan; draft the full plan of record before building. Recon grounded it in the live tree: 13-node graph (src/graph/build_graph.py), 15-agent taxonomy, the DocumentState interaction lanes (KANBAN-062 Lane A reviewer fields, KANBAN-063 Lane B judge/arbiter fields, transient-retry + deadline fields), and the test suite’s network-free seam (src/tests/conftest.py: FakeLangChainLLM with tunable .classification/.extraction dicts + mocked OpenAI client + sandboxed MAILROOM_BASE_DIR) — the same seam the notebooks will drive so every output shown is what the REAL graph actually produced. Deliverable: notebooks/PLAN.md in llm-mailroom — suite roster 00 anatomy → 08 observability (01 = the example run through the agents showing each agent’s outputs and role, per the directive), one shared pipeline_lab.py bench, honesty labels, KANBAN-078-style hostile-cwd headless-exec guards, incremental build order. Tracked as llm-mailroom #15 with claim comment posted (5400443861); implementation proceeds notebook-by-notebook under the same issue after the plan lands.
KANBAN-094 CLAIMED (in_progress) — squashing the real bugs behind the two chronic Posit-site test failures. Diagnosis: the 2026-08-18 contracteval batch wrote per-run SPA files but logged to a side file instead of the canonical append-only reports/experiment_log.jsonl — 8 orphan run JSONs (196–203) vs 9 side rows (one, contracteval_v5, has no run file: aborted on key limits). The derivation law says the JSONL is THE source of truth; the fix merges all 9 rows in (sanitized, chronological), regenerates every derived artifact from it, teaches build_site.py to prune orphans, and adds pins so a side-log can never split the record again. Side file will be deleted after verified absorption; v5 stays honestly missing until someone reruns it.
KANBAN-093 CLAIMED (in_progress) — human directive 2026-08-24 (Discord): cut the official v0.2.0 GitHub release for The-Mailroom, add README <details> collapsibles, and furnish the README with official UI + TUI screenshots. Tracked as #49 with claim comment posted; work ships in The-Mailroom per house law (release checker pre-verified: tests ok at 0.2.0, warning about unreleased entries = exactly what this card resolves). Screenshot doctrine settled up front: NO Langfuse credentials exist anywhere on this machine (swept Cold_Storage + shell configs), so seed_demo.py cannot run — instead the real stack is driven through their documented test seam (create_app(source=LangfuseSource(client=FakeClient(...))) dependency injection + rich make_trace/make_trace_v4 scenarios covering correct paths, judge-gate detours, review escalations, failures) served by uvicorn locally; headless-Chrome captures of the live web UI (floor / metrics / review) and a genuine mailroom-tui --once pty frame rendered to PNG. Real interpreter/server/TUI code paths end to end, fixture-seeded exactly like their own test suite — never hand-drawn mockups. Images land in docs/screenshots/; release sequence ends with the annotated v0.2.0 tag matching the changelog header exactly, gh release create, and the mandated post-minor wiki/sync-wiki.sh. Suite holds 84 passed before the release commit.
KANBAN-093 SHIPPED — all three deliverables live:
- Official v0.2.0 release: https://github.com/Exios66/The-Mailroom/releases/tag/v0.2.0 (“The Mailroom gets its wings” — full notes + embedded floor capture, not a prerelease). Annotated tag
9949dbf peels to f451632 = origin/main HEAD, verified by git ls-remote peel. Commit f451632 rebased onto sibling’s four commits (d953411..d16ad26: Pages edition, Phoenix source, debug console, hardening) — one CHANGELOG conflict resolved per governance: sibling’s fresh [Unreleased] kept verbatim (their release call), my furnishing folded into the pre-declared [0.2.0] - 2026-08-24. Suite green on the merged tree: 99 passed.
- Screenshots gallery (
docs/screenshots/): floor / review / metrics / tui-console — real production-stack pixels (FastAPI + SPA + TUI) driven through the repo’s own FakeClient fixture seam, Langfuse-doctrine intact; rig lived in /tmp only.
- Collapsibles:
<details> ×3 (demo seeding, config reference, project layout) + linked release v0.2.0 badge; balanced tags verified, operational strings preserved.
Incident log: a parallel agent ran checkout hotfix/review-queue-dispatch-key in the shared clone mid-task, detaching HEAD from my rebased main. Recovery used zero working-tree ops (push-by-SHA f451632:refs/heads/main, local re-tag -fa, remote tag delete+repush) — no collision with their branch. Lesson: never trust shared-worktree HEAD mid-flight; operate on refs by SHA.
Honest open scope: mandated wiki/sync-wiki.sh could not publish — The-Mailroom’s GitHub wiki was never initialized (.wiki.git returns “not found” until a first page is created in the web UI; GitHub offers no API to create it). One-click human step, then rerun the script; wiki/ + docs/ mirrors are committed and ready. Issue #49 closed with full trail + shipped label.
KANBAN-088 SHIPPED & CLOSED — family-wide JSONL line-boundary hazard sweep complete (closes #44, entity 95d8bf0). Census: 15 ensure_ascii=False sites / 11 files across scripts/ + src/. Canonical definition extracted VERBATIM into shared scripts/datasets/_jsonl_safety.py (sanitize_line_boundary_chars + hazards map + one-call safe_jsonl_line); the KANBAN-087 exporter delegates with object-identical re-exports so its own 6 pins pass untouched. 9 row-writer sites across 7 files now emit through the sanitizer: experiment-log backfill, docclass merged/v5 writers, legalbench pack enriched+index, enron publish paths (both), legalbench BT streamer staging+manifest. 5 sites carry inline KANBAN-088-EXEMPT justifications (field-value dumps guarded downstream by sanitizing row writers ×3, CSV-cell flattens ×2, record-id hash input where byte-stability beats split-safety). New pins tests/test_kanban088_jsonl_safety_sweep.py: lossless round-trip, re-export identity, per-file adoption, repo-wide no-unmarked-hazard-sites scan (future bare ensure_ascii=False fails CI until adopted/marked), exemption-justification presence. Suite 668 passed, failures byte-matching the documented chronic baseline. The U+2028 Hub-shredding failure mode is structurally impossible for family writers going forward.
KANBAN-092 SHIPPED & CLOSED — The-Mailroom README overhaul landed and pushed in The-Mailroom 435bb04 (4e53830..435bb04 on origin/main), closing #48. What shipped: root README rebuilt 102 → 177 lines with every operational byte preserved (17 load-bearing strings verified present post-write) and a new family layer — factual static badge row (version 0.2.0 · python 3.11+ · data source: Langfuse only; deliberately NO release/license/CI badges since no v0.2.0 tag/release exists remotely and the repo carries neither LICENSE nor workflows); “The governed constellation” section with a YOU-ARE-HERE ASCII diagram (entity loop → llm-mailroom → traces → The-Mailroom) and an at-a-glance table of all seven family repos linking llm-mailroom’s canonical docs/sister-repos.md; “The trace contract & the mirror duty” section codifying the same-window mirror rule with the visible-by-design breakage map (unknown stages, gray stamps, vanished scores) and deferring to AGENTS.md as authority; [!IMPORTANT] alert on the schema-cache restart gotcha; dividers; honest “No license published yet” close. wiki/Home.md gained the constellation paragraph (published by their release train per their law — not hand-pushed). Their release law held: CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry in the SAME commit. Proof: fences balanced (10), single H1, table rows clean, internal AGENTS.md link resolves, suite 84 passed before edits and again after (0.34s) via out-of-tree venv — docs-only, zero behavior change.
KANBAN-092 CLAIMED (in_progress) — human directive 2026-08-24 (Discord): overhaul The-Mailroom’s root README — bland (102 lines, zero badges, near-zero sister-repo references) despite being a fully governed family member. Work ships in The-Mailroom itself per cross-repo convention; tracked here as #48 with claim comment posted. Recon complete against the cloned tree @ 4e53830: AGENTS.md house rules read in full — README overhauls are release-law events there (same-commit CHANGELOG entry + full suite green mandatory); honesty gaps verified pre-badge (pyproject says 0.2.0 and CHANGELOG has [0.2.0] - 2026-08-23, but NO v0.2.0 tag/release exists remotely — only a v0.0.1 pre-release — so the badge row gets a factual static version 0.2.0, never a release/workflow badge; no LICENSE file, no workflows → no license/CI badges, KANBAN-089 precedent). Plan: badge row (static-factual only), governed-constellation family section with YOU-ARE-HERE marker (llm-mailroom upstream · llm-entity-extraction prompt loop · llm-dojo-scoring engine · Enron-Evaluation-Environment + claims-data-eda corpus feeds · atticus-investigation eval sibling · graph sites), new trace-contract & schema-mirror-duty section deferring to AGENTS.md as authority, structure/dividers, ALL existing operational content kept. Suite baseline captured BEFORE edits on this machine: 84 passed via out-of-tree venv ~/.venvs/tm-suite (their AGENTS.md forbids a venv inside the repo); baseline must hold before push.
KANBAN-085 SHIPPED & CLOSED — the silently-dead FIXTURE_EXPECTATIONS map in llm-mailroom’s validate_pipeline.py is alive again (closes #42, llm-mailroom 1401f95). Root cause: post-consolidation layout moved fixtures to src/tests/fixtures/… and sources to docs/examples/sources/…, but all 14 keys still said tests/fixtures/… / examples/sources/… — _expectation_for() compared repo-root-relative paths against ghost prefixes and fell through to (None, None, None) for every standalone fixture since the move. Fix: all 14 keys corrected; NEW 5-guard network-free regression suite (src/tests/test_kanban085_fixture_expectations.py) pins no-stale-prefixes, on-disk resolution for literal keys, ≥1 match per glob, per-entry matcher engagement with mapped class/subtype, and registry size 14 — silent rot now impossible. E2E proof: validate_pipeline.py --fixtures --sources shows engaged expectations (per-class accuracy across all 7 classes, 21/22 matched). Honest residue surfaced by the revival: the evidence-based mock classifies insurance_claim/sample_claim.txt as contract/other (0/1) — a mock-evidence limitation that was invisible while the map was dead; documented in CHANGELOG + issue rather than papered over. Suite 410 passed (405 baseline + 5 guards).
KANBAN-091 SHIPPED & CLOSED — The-Mailroom visualizer mapped into every umbrella surface across BOTH repos (closes #47). Entity 76567a5: docs/sister-repos.md constellation diagram gains a visualizer: line + At-a-glance table gains the “Downstream of the sister repo” row (reads llm-mailroom’s Langfuse traces, mirrors its schema via pipeline_schema.py/trace_interpreter.py, dependency of no family repo); root README working-surfaces prose lists it beside the graph sites and wiki. Mailroom 5cf8b60: sister-repos constellation diagram node + At-a-glance “Downstream visualizer” row + dedicated “The-Mailroom — the visual engine” section (surfaces mailroom-web :8001 / mailroom-tui, Langfuse-only doctrine incl. demo-seeds-INTO-Langfuse, the schema-mirror duty back to the pipeline with its breakage map, MAILROOM_TAXONOMY live override, own AGENTS.md/release train/test suite/wiki); README Umbrella table row; wiki Home paragraph pushed live to the GitHub wiki (d441b74). Both CHANGELOGs carry matching [Unreleased] entries — one card, one issue, both changelogs per the KANBAN-061 precedent. Docs-only: suites hold baselines exactly (mailroom 405 passed; entity 654 passed / 2 failures byte-matching the documented chronic posit pair). All facts grounded against The-Mailroom’s actual tree @ 4e53830 (v0.2.0), recon from the Cold_Storage clone — nothing invented.
KANBAN-091 CLAIMED (in_progress) — human directive 2026-08-23 (Discord): add The-Mailroom — the pixel-art visual engine that renders llm-mailroom runs as an animated conveyor driven solely by Langfuse traces — to every umbrella/governance documentation surface. Recon against the cloned tree (v0.2.0): fully governed family member (own AGENTS.md whose #1 maintenance duty is mirroring llm-mailroom’s routing/taxonomy trace contract, own semver release train, own wiki + canonical docs that already point AT llm-mailroom) yet present in ZERO umbrella surfaces on either side of the family. Surfaces this card updates: mailroom docs/sister-repos.md (constellation diagram + at-a-glance row + dedicated “visual engine” section), mailroom README Umbrella table row, mailroom wiki Home umbrella paragraph (+ wiki sync push), entity docs/sister-repos.md (diagram note + at-a-glance row), entity README further-surfaces prose, and BOTH CHANGELOGs per the one-card/one-issue/both-changelogs precedent. Relationship recorded honestly: downstream observer of llm-mailroom’s Langfuse project (US cloud) — reads traces, mirrors the schema; dependency of no family repo. Docs-only; suites hold their current baselines. Issue #47 created + claim comment posted.
KANBAN-090 SHIPPED & CLOSED — dedicated docclass prompts landed in BOTH repos and pushed: entity 3df3747 (057f576..3df3747 on origin/main), mailroom 79b0126. What shipped: entity src/prompts_docclass.py with a 21-key DOCCLASS_PROMPT_VERSIONS — the 8 sorter-docclass keys re-exported byte-identical (same objects, never redefined), 10 variants derived by single-anchor .replace() off the REAL base constants (six specialists + boss + judge trio), 3 authored-fresh V0s for roles entity lacks bases for (reviewer / arbiter / insurance_claims, provenance-commented as modeled on llm-mailroom); registry merged into PROMPT_VERSIONS at the prompts_archive-style tail, versions 103 → 116, zero collisions asserted at import. Mailroom src/langchain_agents/prompts_docclass.py with 13 variants, every one a PURE APPEND of mailroom’s own production base constants (variant.startswith(base) holds in full — stronger than mid-string insertion; mailroom carries house reviewer/arbiter/insurance bases so nothing was authored fresh there). Shared DOCCLASS ARM CONTEXT block byte-compatible across repos (extended 8-class primary set incl. insurance_claim + merger_agreement; subclass dims: CUAD contract subtypes / merger consideration types / title-derived record types) plus per-role rules: routing label = pipeline state not ground truth, claim-documentation + M&A leakage read-through, judge trio gains subclass-specific support requirements + cross-family leakage checks, classification judge grades the extended set with family discriminators, boss routes classification-fault conflicts to human review.
Design delta from the claim (honest residue): the claim entry proposed wiring mailroom’s deployment through llm/prompts.py:prompt_templates() under mailroom-*-docclass names — implementation recon showed prompt_templates() IS the thirteen agent-pinned PRODUCTION templates (count test-pinned), so flowing docclass keys through it would have overwritten live agent prompts. Shipped instead: docclass text NEVER touches prompt_templates() (negative assertions on every template in tests), and reaches Langfuse only via the new OPT-IN scripts/sync_prompts.py --docclass flag pushing namespaced mailroom-docclass-<key> prompts, content-keyed/idempotent like every sync. Entity keeps its native registration-IS-deployment doctrine: all 21 keys mirror through scripts/eval/sync_langfuse_prompts.py exactly like every other registered family. Runtime defaults unchanged BOTH sides — nothing fetches a docclass key unless an eval runner or pipeline config names it explicitly.
Proof: targeted prompt suites green (entity 70 passed = 64 existing + 6 new guards in tests/test_kanban090_docclass_prompts.py; mailroom 9 passed = 5 existing + 4 new in src/tests/test_kanban090_docclass_prompts.py). FULL suites: mailroom 405 passed / 20.5s (zero regressions vs the documented 401 baseline), entity 654 passed / 2 failed / 4 skipped with failures proven pre-existing by stash-to-clean-HEAD replay (the documented chronic derived-site posit pair: test_rendered_pages_committed, test_quarto_render_is_deterministic_and_clean) and kanban076 hub-sha deselected (requires live localhost:6006 service). CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entries in both ship commits; board row flipped to done. Issue #46 closed post-push per convention.
KANBAN-090 CLAIMED (in_progress) — human directive 2026-08-23 (Discord, #hermes): ensure dedicated docclass prompts are developed AND deployed for every classification-chain role — the 7 specialists, their reviewer, the judge trio, the arbiter, the boss, and the docclass sorter — included under a separate prompt file in BOTH llm-entity-extraction and llm-mailroom. Design: entity gets src/prompts_docclass.py as the docclass arm’s single import surface (existing sorter_docclass_v0..v6 + vision re-exported byte-identical; append-only .replace() variants for the six local specialist bases + boss + judge trio; REVIEWER_DOCCLASS/ARBITER_DOCCLASS/insurance-claims _V0s authored fresh with provenance comments — mailroom carries those bases, entity does not). Mailroom mirrors the family in src/langchain_agents/prompts_docclass.py, wired for deployment via llm/prompts.py:prompt_templates() + the idempotent sync_prompts.py seam under distinct mailroom-*-docclass Langfuse names — runtime defaults unchanged, no agent switches until explicitly directed. Additive-only discipline: zero existing constants touched; derivation tests (registered / != base / strict-prefix / banner marker) ship with every variant. Cross-repo card per KANBAN-061 precedent: ONE issue #46, TWO changelogs.
KANBAN-089 SHIPPED & CLOSED — llm-mailroom README polish retrofit landed in mailroom commit f9da346 and pushed (5030d7d..f9da346 on origin/main). What shipped: at-a-glance facts table under the badge row; green release badge v0.4.1 (verified equal across pyproject.toml, CHANGELOG header, git tag); GitHub alert callouts [!NOTE] (zero-DB SQLite quick-start) and [!IMPORTANT] (taxonomy-cache restart gotcha promoted from AGENTS.md); three <details> toggle sections (config cookbook, curated Ollama shortlist, full deployment runbook); section dividers between the four major parts. Honesty rules held: NO license or CI badges added — the repo carries neither a LICENSE file nor workflows, so such badges would be lies; the at-a-glance license row states “not yet published” outright. Pre-push proof: code fences balanced (38 fence lines), all 33 internal anchors resolve under GitHub slug math (26 unique targets), <summary> tags single-line closed, at-a-glance table renders exactly 2 cells per row, full suite unchanged at 401 passed / 20.2s — docs-only, zero behavior change. CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry in the same ship commit. Board row flipped to done in place. Issue #45 closed manually post-push per the cross-repo convention (closes-#N is a no-op from llm-mailroom). Honest residue: none scoped — every directive item (enhancements, updates, aesthetic elements, clean formatting, toggle sections, visuals, badges) shipped in this pass.
KANBAN-089 CLAIMED (in_progress) — human directive 2026-08-23 (Discord, #hermes): retrofit the llm-mailroom root README with “all of the enhancements, updates, aesthetic display elements, clean formatting, toggle sections, visuals, and badges.” This is the polish layer on top of KANBAN-082’s shipped docile skeleton: <details> toggle sections over long operational blocks (config example, local-model table, deployment runbook), an at-a-glance facts table under the badge row, GitHub alert callouts for genuinely important operational warnings, honest badge cleanup — explicitly NO license/CI badges since the repo carries neither a LICENSE file nor workflows (badges must stay verifiable) — and a visual-rhythm pass. Docs-only, zero behavior change; suite must hold the shipped 401-passed baseline; every number re-derived from the tree before writing. Issue #45 created + claim comment posted; work ships in llm-mailroom (cross-repo convention).
KANBAN-088 MINTED (backlog) — carve-out from KANBAN-087’s honest residue: the bare ensure_ascii=False JSONL writer pattern persists in ~12 sibling sites (enron publishers, legalbench pack/streamers, docclass merged/v5/pilot builders, nested-dump sites, braintrust_utils blob), any of which feeding a line-oriented consumer is the identical latent landmine 087 demonstrated live. Card scopes: guard adoption for Hub-bound/line-oriented writers via sanitize_line_boundary_chars, documented exemptions for local intermediates, network-free pin extension. Published artifacts verified hazard-free in today’s staging census — prevention, not incident response. Issue #44 + claim comment posted; board row queued at backlog.
KANBAN-087 SHIPPED — Hub repair complete and verified end-to-end. Root cause: ONE record (line 73) of mailroom-cuad-contracts-full.jsonl carried 16 literal U+2028 LINE SEPARATOR chars inside .input.doc_text (CUAD PDF-extraction artifact); the datasets-server worker parses batches via str.splitlines() and shredded the row into invalid fragments (ujson_loads ValueError: Expected object or value), while local datasets 5.x splits bytes and loaded the identical file green — version-dependent landmine, local-green proves nothing. Shipped chain: exporter guard sanitize_line_boundary_chars() (U+2028/U+2029/NEL → lossless escapes); staging sha-matched Hub bytes (cac0c845…), sanitized, per-row semantic round-trip asserted (0 mismatches), worker-shape A/B proven (526 pieces → 510 intact); republished under canonical names overwriting the broken blobs; first upload attempt published misnamed _repaired duplicates beside the originals (hf upload publishes under local basename) — evicted via delete-files, then re-uploaded clean. Verification: tree census exactly 4 files; fresh-download round-trip sha = c8beefd6…; hub manifest rows=510 + old/new sha256s + repair note; datasets-server splits pending: [] / failed: []. Guard: 6 network-free pins in tests/test_kanban087_jsonl_hazards.py. Honest residue: 12+ sibling ensure_ascii=False writers in scripts/datasets remain unguarded — carve out a sweep card if another Hub-bound writer appears.
KANBAN-084 SHIPPED (#43, closes #43) — docclass-pilot live + parent evolved to schema v5. Pilot: 138 rows covering all 48 canonical strata (quota=3, min-stratum take-all), deterministic ascending-sha256(filename)-within-stratum draw (rebuild-stable), blind/GT two-config layout per the KANBAN-079 doctrine, datasets-server green on all four splits. Parent v5: +400 insurance_claim rows (CMS DE-SynPUF EOBs, InsuranceClaimExtraction-aligned GT; 65/400 placement moves under the family rule disclosed); clause-level answer keys ground_truth-only — CUAD 509/509 contracts with 13,753/13,753 answer spans verified at exact char offsets vs stored doc_text (official annotation JSON = machine-readable superset of masterlabels.csv), MAUD 152/152 mergers via contract id; subclass canon normalization collapses CUAD’s duplicate folder spellings (Affiliate Agreement+Affiliate_Agreements→10, Endorsement Agreement+Endorsement→24; strata 50→48) with a loud build guard, distinct buckets deliberately unmerged. Scope grew twice in-band by Jack’s directive (claims class; clause GT from masterlabels.csv; then distribution normalization) — all folded into this card, no parallel cards spawned. Evidence: 10 network-free pins in tests/test_kanban084_pilot_sample.py; full suite 613 passed vs pristine detached-HEAD worktree baseline with every residual failure/error proven pre-existing (kanban076 LFS-pin assert + six tests.test_langfuse_tracing collection errors reproduce at clean HEAD — parked for follow-up cards). Builders: build_docclass_v5.py, build_docclass_pilot.py, publish_docclass_v5.py.
KANBAN-087 CLAIMED — human-reported Hub failure on Lucius-Morningstar/mailroom-cuad-contracts-full (DatasetGenerationError / ValueError: Expected object or value in the worker’s ujson_loads). Downloaded the live 38.5 MB JSONL (sha256 cac0c845… matches the shipped manifest): structurally perfect — 510/510 lines parse with json.loads, no blanks, no null bytes — BUT 16 literal U+2028 LINE SEPARATOR characters hide inside ONE record’s .input.doc_text (CUAD PDF-extraction artifact). Mechanism: the datasets worker parses batches with str.splitlines(), which splits on U+2028 INSIDE the record → invalid fragments → the reported ValueError. Writer hole identified at export_bt_to_hf.py:272 (ensure_ascii=False). Family sweep shows 12+ ensure_ascii=False writers in the dataset tooling — Hub-path guard ships this card; the rest carved out as residue. Repair plan: local load_dataset reproduction, exporter sanitizer + network-free pin test, sanitized republish, manifest sha regen, end-to-end green verification.
KANBAN-086 SHIPPED (board-only, changelog-only) — cold-suite interpreter pin. Found while verifying the table repairs: tests/test_posit_site.py spawned _pre-render.py via bare "python3" argv at BOTH call sites, so cold runs (no repo venv on PATH) produced 5 phantom failures (ModuleNotFoundError: llm_dojo_scoring) that looked like content regressions and had been riding the documented baselines (KANBAN-080; KANBAN-081’s “7 chronic posit renders”). Both sites now use sys.executable. Honest A/B in an identical stripped-PATH environment (stash → baseline → pop): unpatched 7F/2P vs patched 7P/2F; the residual pair is the documented derived-site chronic class (rendered-pages-committed + quarto-determinism), unrelated to interpreter resolution. Test-only change; venv-on-PATH behavior byte-identical. Board-only per §8 (small, single-session, test-only).
KANBAN-082 SHIPPED (#40, llm-mailroom commit 5030d7d) — docile-style README rebuild + docmd local docs renderer, landed changelog-only in llm-mailroom per cross-repo convention. README rebuilt after rossumai/docile aesthetics: pixel-art owl-mailroom banner (docs/assets/banner.png; gibberish AI-label text erased via scripted pixel refill + vision QA rounds), badge row, repo-consists-of list, grouped TOC, NEW agent-organization mermaid map (15 agents / 7 doc classes read fresh from taxonomy.yaml; the old diagram’s “6 specialists” corrected), state-machine map retained. Truth fixes riding along: phantom POST /ops/pause removed + real GET /queue documented + bearer-token guard stated per-route (root README AND src/api/README.md, whose “no auth on any endpoint” claim was also false); Quick Start fixture path corrected to src/tests/fixtures/...; README.md#installing anchor added, repairing 4 vendored openrouter-* skill links that pointed at a never-existing anchor; umbrella table linking the repo constellation from docs/sister-repos.md. docmd (@docmd/core v0.9.4, Node ≥20) integrated as the zero-config local renderer over docs/: npx @docmd/core dev (live reload) / build (static site w/ sidebar nav, offline search, llms.txt); site/ gitignored; build proof 27 pages in ~4s. Verification: suite 401 passed, byte-identical to the shipped KANBAN-078 baseline (docs-only change; PYTHONPATH-scrubbed run); integrity gates green (all 26 TOC anchors resolve, all 12 relative link/image targets exist, fence balance); repo-wide stale-ref sweep clean (frozen audit-report prose deliberately left as history). Honest residue carved out BEFORE close per the no-orphaned-scope rule: validate_pipeline.py::FIXTURE_EXPECTATIONS keys can never match (rel = path.relative_to(REPO_ROOT) vs tests/fixtures/…/examples/sources/… literals) — intrinsic fixture expectations silently dead → KANBAN-085/#42 opened backlog. Governance notes: numbering collided TWICE today — opened as KANBAN-083 (sibling shipped root-folder consolidation as 083/#41), renumbered to 084 (sibling claimed 084/#43), final KANBAN-085; both sibling contributions kept, #42 retitled. Issue #40 closed manually post-archive (cross-repo closes-#N is a no-op). Flagged, not touched (owners active today): KANBAN-080/078/045 key-table rows carry a raw | inside an evidence cell → 8-cell rows breaking table render; suggest owners escape to / or ,.
KANBAN-084 CLAIMED (#43) — human directive (Discord, JJB): hyper-tailored, cleanly distributed pilot sample of Lucius-Morningstar/docclass-merged covering EVERY doc type and EVERY subtype, HF-published as its own family repo — feedstock for The Mailroom pipeline visualizer debugging AND per-agent pilot evaluation. Recon done: parent = 810 GT rows / 4 doc_types / 46 subclass strata (contract 28 · merger_agreement 5 · correspondence 8 · corporate_record 5; stratum sizes 1–57). Honest gap declared on the issue: the parent holds only 4 of mailroom’s 7 first-class classes — coverage means all types/subtypes PRESENT IN THE SOURCE. Plan: deterministic stratified draw (documented quota rule), split column preserved from parent, two-config publish (default blind / ground_truth joined on filename) per KANBAN-079 doctrine, manifest.txt only (no .json names), card with parent provenance + revision sha 407bf55c…, datasets-server verification + network-free pins. Builder/publisher land in this repo’s scripts/datasets/.
KANBAN-083 SHIPPED (#41, 49a66c4) — root folder consolidation landed changelog-only. Root visible dirs 13 → 10: board/+discussion/ → governance/ (one umbrella for inter-agent state), wiki/ → docs/wiki/ (docs under docs, matching llm-mailroom’s existing convention), site/ → docs/posit-src/ (portal sources beside their rendered output; ends the two-sites ambiguity with scripts/site/). Deliberately unmoved after census: reports/, data/, and the Python package dirs are idiomatic citizens with 25–49 live code references each — moving them would be churn without clarity. Every live reader updated in lockstep: the quarto output-dir deepening (the silent-scatter trap), pathlib segment joins (slashless ROOT / "board" literals invisible to naive greps), build_site.py, render_message_board_qmd.py, three test constants + the yml contract re-pin, README layout block (stale root-memos row from KANBAN-080 finally removed), docs/README, wiki mirror pages, .gitignore derived-output rules. Proof: portal render green from its new home (quarto render docs/posit-src → docs/posit/ regenerated & committed); wiki synced via the script’s new path (123efda); pristine-HEAD worktree baseline captured FIRST (617p/9f), shipped tree lands at 633p effective / 2f with both survivors being the documented chronic classes — zero move-caused failures. Governance notes: the parallel sibling’s live .qmd insert mid-write caused an opener tag-splice caught and repaired line-level before any commit; their #40 lane untouched throughout. Residue RESOLVED same-day: AGENTS.md path-doctrine rows (9 lines) approved by Jack in-band and landed post-consent.
KANBAN-083 CLAIMED (#41) — human directive: finish the root organization by nesting the CONTENT/GOVERNANCE dirs, not just files. Full census before surgery: 13 visible root dirs; reports/ (40 tracked, 25 code readers), data/ (45 tracked, 49 readers) and the package dirs are idiomatic ML-repo citizens and stay; the newcomer-confusing ones are agent plumbing. Moves: board/+discussion/ → governance/, wiki/ → docs/wiki/ (sync-wiki.sh is self-relative, move-safe), site/ → docs/posit-src/ (sources beside their rendered docs/posit/; ends the “which site?” ambiguity with scripts/site/). Trap list from the reference map: _quarto.yml output-dir deepening, pathlib segment joins (ROOT / "board" — slashless, invisible to naive greps), the div-balance test’s direct discussion read, git pathspecs naming docs site. AGENTS.md doctrine rows parked for consent. KANBAN-082 belongs to the parallel sibling — lanes kept separate.
KANBAN-082 CLAIMED (#40) — human directive (Discord #hermes): modern docile-style root README for llm-mailroom (badge row, inline images, embedded links to associated repositories, agent-organization/architecture maps in mermaid) + docmd integrated as the local markdown doc renderer over docs/. Recon done: the current README hierarchy diagram claims “6 specialists” while src/config/taxonomy.yaml (fresh read 2026-08-23) defines 15 agents across 7 doc classes — stale-truth fix rides along per KANBAN-077 docs-currency doctrine. Host has Node v22.14.0 (docmd needs ≥20); zero-config path (npx @docmd/core dev/build, auto-detects docs/, sidebar nav + search index) preferred over config sprawl. Docs/tooling-only → changelog-only target; mailroom suite baseline to hold: 401 passed. Work ships in llm-mailroom under this shared-board card.
KANBAN-081 SHIPPED (#39) — modular dependency batches landed changelog-only. CORE frozen at exactly 8 packages (pyproject dependencies ≡ root requirements.txt, parity-pinned); extras [tracing] [evals] [datasets] [reporting] [embeddings] [dev] [all] (+ legacy [pdf]) mirror the 7 requirements/<batch>.txt files 1:1. Three manifest defects fixed in one pass: tracing stack MISSING from pyproject entirely (a bare install couldn’t import the repo’s own default tracing sink), openpyxl+huggingface_hub imported-but-undeclared anywhere, and the dead pandas/pyarrow pins removed (AST census: zero imports, no notebooks). Guard: tests/test_dependency_manifests.py, 6 network-free pins incl. a live AST census of agents/+src/ against a module→batch owner map (batch modules may use core ∪ their batch, nothing else). Proof BEFORE push: fresh venv (python3.13/pip 26.1.2) core-only install from a clean tree copy → src.prompts (103 prompt versions) + agents.sorter_agent import GREEN with phoenix/langfuse/opentelemetry/braintrust/huggingface-hub/sentence-transformers VERIFIABLY ABSENT; -e ".[tracing]" add-on → src.tracing imports and initializes the live Phoenix tracer. Suite delta vs pristine-HEAD worktree baseline: 611→627 passed (+6 new pins; FAILED set byte-identical — 7 chronic posit renders + kanban076 hub-sha check). README §Setup rewritten as the batch table; wiki Getting-Started updated in-repo; AGENTS.md quickstart dep lines approved-and-landed same day (in-band Jack approval). Honest residue: matplotlib/openpyxl still reach core installs transitively because llm-dojo-scoring v0.7.0 declares them in its own install_requires — upstream dojo slim-down owed if a truly minimal core is ever needed.
KANBAN-081 CLAIMED (#39) — human directive: modular dependency batches so installs can be tailored to the operative task. Evidence pass done BEFORE any manifest surgery: whole-repo AST import census shows (a) the core agent/prompt/scoring floor needs only langchain-core/openai/requests/dotenv/PyYAML/structlog/llm-dojo-scoring; (b) the tracing stack is imported only by src/*_tracing.py consumers in scripts/tests — and is MISSING from pyproject.toml entirely, meaning a bare pip install -e . cannot import the repo’s own default tracing sink (defect); (c) openpyxl and huggingface_hub are imported but undeclared anywhere; (d) pandas/pyarrow are pinned but imported by zero active code files. Plan: extras [tracing] [evals] [datasets] [reporting] [embeddings] [dev] [all], core-only requirements.txt + requirements/<batch>.txt, manifest-pinning test, fresh-venv core-only install proof.
KANBAN-080 SHIPPED (#38) — all four scopes landed in entity commit 1ac476c (+ mailroom b1ef37a): v0.20.0 archive proof GREEN on the pushed tag (langchain-core 1.6.0 live on default PyPI; the interrupted train’s floor failure was a stale index view — no pin change, release stands); root de-clutter shipped with every live reference updated in lockstep (SCORING.md → docs/, deploy_phoenix.sh → scripts/deploy/, memos unified at docs/memos/ — the site’s memos tab now serves all 34 including the v34–v39 set it had been silently missing, tracked .bak cruft and legacy root symlinks removed); graphify built code-only (3,402 nodes / 7,252 edges / 151 communities) and published live at llm-entity-extraction-graph with links wired into README, wiki Home + sidebar, sister-repos both directions; NEW docs/sister-repos.md umbrella map. Targeted suite 12 passed / chronic-pair-only failures. Same-day follow-up (approval received): all five AGENTS.md path-doctrine line edits APPROVED by Jack and landed — file-map row, scoring-reference pointer, update-checklist cite, noise-floor memo cite, Research-memos section header. Verified zero stale memos//SCORING.md references remain in agent doctrine; CHANGELOG residue note updated to approved-and-landed.
KANBAN-080 CLAIMED (#38) — four-scope housekeeping pass, human directive today: (1) v0.20.0 fresh-install archive proof re-run on the pushed tag — forensics first found the interrupted train’s langchain-core>=1.0 “unresolvable floor” was a stale index view: default PyPI now serves the full 1.x line (1.0.0→1.6.0), so the proof should resolve green without pin surgery; (2) root de-clutter — SCORING.md → docs/, deploy_phoenix.sh → scripts/deploy/, root memos/ merged into docs/memos/, legacy root board symlinks removed, every live reference updated in lockstep; (3) graphify graph for THIS repo (skill has been vendored since KANBAN-065 but never built here) + derived-artifact Pages site mirroring llm-mailroom-graph + links wired both directions; (4) docs currency sweep vs mailroom doc conventions. Immovable-at-root documented in the card row. Issue opened → claim comment → board row → this entry; code next.
KANBAN-079 SHIPPED (#37) — GT-enriched two-config dedup live on the Hub; blind-by-default proven on datasets-server.
Shipped: entity-extraction bd8b2c7 (publisher v2: enrichment stage importing Enron-Evaluation-Environment labelers @ c3bb908; two card-declared configs default/ground_truth; legacy monolithic jsonl deleted from Hub root; per-file sha verify LFS ≥10MB + round-trip below threshold). Labeler suite 70/70 there; pins here 3 re-pins + 10 new (tests/test_kanban079_gt_separation.py).
Verified: determinism (two independent builds byte-identical ×4 files); Hub all-four-files sha GREEN; conversion GREEN (4 splits, pending 0 / failed 0); first-rows proof — default/train cols [filename, subject, text, split, metadata] with ZERO GT keys visible, ground_truth/train serving all nine answer columns, identical leading filename across configs (join integrity live). Rows 247,523 (222,572/24,951 per config); topics all 11 keys populated (general_business 74.2%, energy_market 8.7%); sentiment neutral 167,964 / positive 51,668 / negative 27,891. Honest gaps on card+manifest: lexicon sentiment is weak labels (no sarcasm/context), single-topic assignment over ~2000-char head window, exact-hash dedup only.
Suite 621 passed (+19 vs pristine-HEAD 602), failure set byte-identical (8 chronic posit renders). Mid-flight wounds caught & repaired: discussion frontmatter-splice (restored from HEAD, 167 divs balanced), CHANGELOG rebase conflict resolved keeping both siblings’ bullets under one [Unreleased]. Closes #37.
KANBAN-079 claimed (#37) — Enron dedup GT enrichment + two-config GT separation.
Directive: add content-topic and sentiment ground truth to enron-correspondence-dedup, and make GT invisible to pipeline agents by default.
Design decisions: - HF has no column ACL → two named configs via dataset-card YAML: default (blind rows) / ground_truth (answer keys keyed on filename). Viewer exposes both for human auditing; load_dataset(repo) returns blind only. - Monolithic jsonl must leave the repo root or the loader folds it back into default (re-leak). - Labeler goes to Enron-Evaluation-Environment scripts/ beside correspondence_subclasses.py — shared-labeler pattern, tests included, honest gaps documented. - Publisher extends with an enrichment stage + per-config native train/test files so scorer joins work via standard splits.
Status: in_progress. Phases: labeler → publisher extension → build+verify → publish → datasets-server verification (both configs).
2026-08-23 — hermes — KANBAN-078 SHIPPED: mailroom dataset browser (Docile pattern) live
Human directive 2026-08-23: “implement a similar ‘dataset browser’ notebook in the llm-mailroom, under a dedicated notebooks folder nested properly, like Docile’s.” Shipped in llm-mailroom commit c9ea57a (pushed to origin/main; changelog [Unreleased] entry in the same commit). The Docile recipe transplanted faithfully: a THIN notebook over a REAL reusable module. New notebooks/ folder holds three files — dataset_browser.ipynb (8 cells: intro table of ground-truth vs observed layers → import+bootstrap → load → summarize → interactive browser), dataset_browser.py (~350 lines doing all actual work), and a README with usage + the extra install line. What it browses: the pilot sample set from docs/examples/samples/manifest.csv as GROUND TRUTH (30 rows — expected doc class/stage/tier, ground-truth field JSON, provenance rule mirroring prepare_samples.is_real_sample: CUAD|external = 21 REAL committed legal documents, 9 synthetic) joined READ-ONLY with the pipeline catalog (data/mailroom.db, SQLite URI mode=ro — never creates/mutates; missing file or schema-less DB degrade honestly to no-overlay) as the OBSERVED layer per sample: stage reached, confidences, extracted payload, model/prompt-version/cost/latency provenance. Design choices worth keeping: ipywidgets picker isolated behind a new optional [notebooks] extra so the core install stays light (text listing + per-sample detail fallback always works); notebook bootstrap walks up to repo root so kernel cwd is irrelevant (verified by executing from notebooks/ itself); PDF first-page preview reuses pdfplumber (already a pipeline dep via pdf_transcriber) and never raises; HTML detail renderer escapes manifest-sourced markup (pinned); zero network, zero LLM calls anywhere. Verification was execution-based, not vibes: all notebook code-cells executed headlessly in order against the live repo (summary: 30 samples, 21 real / 9 synthetic, class histogram contract=15 court_opinion=6 correspondence=3 …); prepare_samples.py run to materialize 30/30 PDFs and re-verified (materialized_pdfs: 30, contract_01 preview embeds 2,527 raw chars of the real Chase affiliate agreement); catalog overlay exercised against a synthetic read-only DB (join by filename, JSON extracted_data decoded, summary shows archived:1/not_run:29). One mid-build catch by that verification: the naive from notebooks.dataset_browser import ... died when kernel cwd ≠ repo root — fixed with the walk-up bootstrap rather than assumed away. Tests: 10 network-free pins in src/tests/test_dataset_browser.py; full mailroom suite 401 passed (= documented 391 baseline + exactly the 10 new pins), zero failures.
2026-08-23 — hermes — RELEASE TRAIN v0.20.0: ten days of milestones tagged & published; board divs healed; fresh-install proof green
Human directive: bring CHANGELOG + semver fully current. Shipped: [Unreleased] → [0.20.0] - 2026-08-23 (the full KANBAN-071→076 arc), pyproject 0.19.1 → 0.20.0, release commit 6fc0d7c, annotated tag v0.20.0, pushed bec3c12..6fc0d7c fast-forward, GitHub Release published 2026-08-23T17:49:35Z. No force-push anywhere; the parallel agent’s close-out (0edc4ad) and KANBAN-078 claim (bec3c12) were carried untouched.
Board hygiene fixed en route: three stacked SHIPPED/CLAIMED entries had lost their ::: closers — 164 openers vs 161 closers, depth-3 imbalance failing test_source_board_divs_stay_balanced AND swallowing the References & citations section out of the rendered posit page. Divs rebalanced, site re-rendered, artifact↔︎source synced (8caeb27).
NEW SUITE BASELINE for future delta arithmetic: 617 passed / 4 skipped / 2 failed, both chronic derived-site classes — test_quarto_render_is_deterministic_and_clean (its internal render spawns bare python3, whose env lacks llm_dojo_scoring; always has) and test_rendered_pages_committed (SPA run records in docs/data/runs = 203 vs 195 deep links derivable from the tracked canonical log — the gitignored contracteval side-log accounts for the 8; deliberate GH001 posture, not rot). Delta-check against THESE numbers, not the old 609/7 set.
Fresh-install proof from the tag archive: first run went RED — langchain-core>=1.0 “unresolvable” under plain python3. Root cause was the HARNESS, not the repo: that interpreter’s decrepit bundled pip silently filtered every langchain-core 1.x wheel; the live 3.13 venv sees the full public line (latest 1.6.0). Re-run under /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.13 = GREEN: pip resolves the whole chain from the tagged tree alone, pip check clean, langchain-core 1.6.0 from public PyPI, dojo git-pin resolves exactly to v0.7.0 (51822bc), src.prompts + sorter agent import clean, registry at 103 version keys. The >=1.0 pin is correct; no repair commit needed. Lesson: run install proofs with a modern-pip interpreter, not whatever python3 resolves to.
Honest residue: the two chronic site tests above stay red until the contracteval side-log is either absorbed into the canonical log or the tests are taught about it — both out of scope for a release train. Card-free work (human directive), so no board row moved; this entry is the record.
2026-08-23 — hermes — KANBAN-076 SHIPPED: HF family sync finish — the .json* loader landmine, root-caused and dead
Final datasets-server verification ALL THREE GREEN: enron-correspondence 3 parquet / 517,390 rows / 8 typed features; NEW enron-correspondence-dedup 2 / 247,523 unique rows (517,390 in → 269,867 byte-exact copies dropped = 52.2%, matching Enron-Evaluation-Environment EDA §14; largest clone gang 112 copies of one text; all 150 custodians retained; empty bodies never deduped against each other; splits reasserted row-by-row — 0 mismatches); docclass-merged 1 / 700 / 7. The road there took four rounds and produced two durable infra facts: (1) four live canary uploads (kanban076-canary{1..4}) proved today’s Hub JSON loader ingests ANY path whose name contains .json as data rows — bare .json, .json.txt, any subdirectory; only a json-substring-free name survives — so all manifests now ship as manifest.txt ONLY (the KANBAN-074 .json.txt fix is disproven on current infra), canaries deleted post-verdict; (2) docclass kept failing after the manifest repair because of TWO metadata cast landmines the poison had been masking: MAUD’s nested dict maud_categories present only in later row-groups (the loader infers ONE struct from the first group then dies casting later ones), then round 3’s own list-preserving fill re-crashed it via CUAD’s list-typed applicable_categories (string ≠ list<string> across groups). Final cure: builder normalize_metadata_rows() gives every row the UNION of metadata keys with EVERY value a plain string (containers → sorted-key JSON strings, missing → "", never null), publisher gained the matching guard; dataset fingerprint UNCHANGED cd652e77… so eval identity is stable; final blob af0a5324bb65… verified local==hub. Honest note for future sessions: /status AND /refresh datasets-server endpoints are retired (404) — read job state from pending/failed arrays on /parquet//splits//size, and a failed revision may need a fresh push to requeue conversion. Suite 611 passed / 8 failed / 4 skip — the failure set is the documented 7 posit renders + 1 site-drift fail that exists BECAUSE this entry and the board flip are not yet rendered; cured by the close-out render+commit. 15 network-free pins in tests/test_kanban076_hf_sync_finish.py.
2026-08-23 — hermes — KANBAN-077 SHIPPED: llm-mailroom wiki + docs currency pass (issue #36)
Shipped in llm-mailroom commit b7d2f79 (pushed to origin/main; changelog [Unreleased] entry in the same commit) and wiki push 92341ef. Canonical docs: architecture.md rebuilt around the 13-node graph (review_classify Lane A + judge_verify/arbiter Lane B exception lanes documented with the real conditional-edge map transcribed from graph/routing.py; START→extract resume edge included), checkpointer truth (MemorySaver default, MAILROOM_CHECKPOINTER=sqlite opt-in — the old “SQLite-checkpointed”/“Postgres-checkpointed” claims were inverted vs _build_checkpointer()), observability chain langfuse→braintrust→phoenix→none, doc classes widened to 7; agents.md gains §8 Insurance Claims Specialist (full schema table + honest gap: no external benchmark corpus yet — DE-SynPUF candidate, EDA in claims-data-eda) and the vendored-prompt lineage corrected ("sorter" production alias → SORTER_PROMPT_V13, contracts alias → base prompt, v0–v31 history in-repo); configuration.md adds MAILROOM_CHECKPOINTER / MAILROOM_JUDGE_VERIFY / VLLM_API_KEY; testing.md + README node-count fixes. NEW docs/sister-repos.md: the umbrella map — llm-entity-extraction (sister loop, shared board), llm-dojo-scoring (pinned @v0.7.0), corpus feeds Enron-Evaluation-Environment + claims-data-eda, eval sibling atticus-investigation, derived site llm-mailroom-graph, Lucius-Morningstar HF family. Wiki: Home/FAQ/_Sidebar/_Footer/Getting-Started refreshed in-repo; sync-wiki.sh now refreshes all 7 mirrored pages from canonical docs/ at sync time (mirror map in docs/wiki/README.md) so mirror drift cannot recur. Verification: mailroom suite 391 passed (= documented baseline, docs-only change); all 11 wiki pages HTTP 200 post-push; Agents page live-renders Insurance Claims Specialist + SORTER_PROMPT_V13 + claims-data-eda. Governance notes: two protection-gate write blocks (docs/agents.md, AGENTS.md) timed out mid-run and were re-issued ONCE each on the user’s in-band approval (“please resume”); one board-row splice (patch glued the done-row inside the claimed row’s tail) was caught by diff inspection, repaired line-level with count assertions, and never reached git — the parallel KANBAN-076 session’s ship commit (969bcc9) had already landed a clean board snapshot, and the repair was applied on top of it.
2026-08-23 — hermes — KANBAN-077 CLAIMED: llm-mailroom wiki + docs currency pass (issue #36)
Human directive 2026-08-23 (Discord #hermes thread 1541115111807258786): comb through the llm-mailroom wiki and update it with all appropriate documentation, references to sister repositories, and references to all governed repositories that additionally fall under the llm-mailroom umbrella of influence. Recon complete; every number artifact-derived on today’s mailroom tree (08f9bd7): the live graph wires 13 nodes (src/graph/build_graph.py, node registrations at lines 1735–1751) — BOTH the live wiki and canonical docs/architecture.md still say 11; the checkpointer is MemorySaver by default (_build_checkpointer(); SqliteSaver is opt-in via MAILROOM_CHECKPOINTER=sqlite) while the wiki claims “Postgres-checkpointed”; taxonomy.yaml carries 15 agents including the v0.4.0 insurance_claims_specialist — mentioned by NO docs page; all 6 wiki-mirrored pages differ 327–416 diff lines vs their current canonical docs/*.md; wiki Home’s quickstart names a docker-compose path that has moved to src/config/docker/docker-compose.yml. Plan: canonical docs FIRST (docs/ stays canonical), then NEW docs/sister-repos.md mapping the umbrella — llm-entity-extraction (sister prompt-experiment loop, shared board), llm-dojo-scoring (upstream scoring engine pinned @v0.7.0: agent profiles + DOC_TYPE_BUNDLES honesty resolver), corpus feeds Enron-Evaluation-Environment (correspondence → HF enron-correspondence/-dedup) and claims-data-eda (insurance-claims candidate EDA), eval sibling atticus-investigation, plus derived site llm-mailroom-graph — then update the 5 wiki-native pages in-repo and re-sync everything via the repo’s own docs/wiki/sync-wiki.sh (wiki confirmed live, HTTP 200 — no bootstrap click needed). Changelog-only posture. AGENTS.md staleness (the “11 nodes” line + inverted checkpointer description) is in scope pending that file’s protection gate.
2026-08-22 — hermes — KANBAN-075 SHIPPED: Karpathy guidelines adapted into AGENTS.md doctrine
Shipped in one commit (explicit paths): AGENTS.md ## Coding guidelines (adapted from Karpathy) between Code conventions and Testing rules — four principles in house voice with an explicit precedence clause (governed workflow wins where they touch); provenance sidecar .opencode/agents/CODING_GUIDELINES_PROVENANCE.md pinning upstream 2c606141936f1eeef17fa3043a72095b4765b9c2 with sources-consulted map + re-sync protocol; 9 network-free mechanics pins in tests/test_coding_guidelines_agent_file.py run during authoring AND at close. Verification: full suite 597 passed / 7 documented test_posit_site fails byte-identical to baseline / 4 skipped — delta arithmetic against the documented 588-pass baseline equals exactly the +9 new pins, no collateral. Changelog-only target honored ([Unreleased] entry, no tag, no pyproject bump). Honest residue: none in this repo; the Hermes-side half of the directive (operator agent doctrine) ships OUTSIDE this repo as skill karpathy-coding-guidelines on the operator’s machine — recorded here for provenance completeness only.
2026-08-22 — hermes — KANBAN-075 claimed: Karpathy coding guidelines → core AGENTS.md (adapt-don’t-vendor)
Human directive: integrate the insights of multica-ai/andrej-karpathy-skills into this repo’s core AGENTS.md (#35) and apply the core insights to the operator’s Hermes agent files. Plan: adapt the four principles — Think Before Coding / Simplicity First / Surgical Changes / Goal-Driven Execution — in house voice into a new AGENTS.md doctrine section placed between Code conventions and Testing rules, explicitly subordinated to board governance (card-first lifecycle stays supreme) and append-only prompt versioning (a guideline never overrides an iteration rule). Provenance sidecar .opencode/agents/CODING_GUIDELINES_PROVENANCE.md pins upstream commit 2c606141936f1eeef17fa3043a72095b4765b9c2 with sources consulted + re-sync commands; network-free mechanics pins land in tests/test_coding_guidelines_agent_file.py. Overlap audit performed against the live tree: every prior “surgical” mention is pytest scope-selection, not change discipline — fully additive. Changelog-only target. The Hermes-side application (operator’s own agent doctrine) ships outside this repo and is tracked here for provenance.
2026-08-22 — hermes — KANBAN-074 SHIPPED: deterministic splits across the family + enron-correspondence live (517,390 rows, full cleaned Enron)
Directive: changelog current + every HF dataset carrying metadata/labels/GT/splits, including cleaned Enron. Landed: (1) enron-correspondence NEW — FULL cleaned CMU corpus via Enron-Evaluation-Environment’s build_corpus_index.py (3 GB maildir → 517,390 parseable rows) + new publish_enron_correspondence.py: 517,390 published / 150 custodians / zero dropped; GT = shared 10-key labeler (correspondence_subclasses.label_correspondence, imported not reimplemented) with on-row label_evidence audit trail; subclass distribution email 505,929 · memo 3,568 · press_release 2,520 · notice 2,842 · letter 2,077 · demand 315 · meeting_request 135 · attorney_demand 4; splits 465,570 train / 51,820 test; LFS sha local==hub 0554a5973935…; datasets-server GREEN (pending [] failed [], all columns string-typed, row 0 = allen-p email/train); card honestly documents HEURISTIC GT + known gaps (attorney-list coverage, voicemail impossible in text, duplicates NOT merged — group by message_id). (2) docclass-merged schema v3: per-row split added to v2’s fields; republished, LFS sha local==hub af7705368c83…, manifest split_coverage 628/72, datasets-server row 0 = Co_Branding/train. (3) One split rule (assign_split() md5(filename)%10==0→test) shared by BOTH publishers via import — no forked rule; builder refuse-to-write + publisher pre-upload guards extended to require it. (4) Family audit honest verdicts: legalbench-full ships native upstream train/test TSVs (complete as-is); 3 BT mirrors are whole-gold eval pools — splits documented as N/A, never manufactured. Suite 588✓ (+4 pins) / 7 documented posit fails unchanged / 4 skip.
2026-08-22 — hermes — KANBAN-074 claimed: HF family completeness — splits + Enron correspondence corpus
Human directive 2026-08-22: changelog current, every HF dataset carrying metadata/labels/GT/train-test-splits, plus the cleaned Enron emails. Recon done before claiming: ~/Enron-Evaluation-Environment holds the raw 3 GB CMU maildir with NO index built yet — kicked off build_corpus_index.py (full-corpus, ~500K msgs) in the background; the shared correspondence_subclasses labeler becomes the GT layer at publish time. docclass-merged gets a deterministic split column (hash-based, rebuild-stable). legalbench-full already carries native upstream train/test splits; the three BT mirror pools are eval-gold sets where train/test semantics don’t apply — will document that verdict honestly rather than manufacture splits.
2026-08-22 — hermes — KANBAN-073 SHIPPED: docclass-merged schema v2 live — subclasses (contracts included) + filenames on all 700 rows; viewer cast-crash dead
Shipped same-day. What landed:
build_docclass_merged.py schema v2: CUAD rows now carry expected_subclass = metadata.category (CUAD’s own contract grouping — 28 groups) and filename = pdf_path basename; both loaders (local-staging + BT fallback). Builder REFUSES to write any row lacking either field.publish_kanban071.py: pre-upload schema guard refusing partial-null uploads (the exact crash class Jack hit can never ship again); manifest records schema_version: 2 + coverage counts; dataset card documents the new row shape.- Republished: LFS sha256 local == hub (
3bd9d74de9f1…), fingerprint cd652e77…, 700 rows.
- Viewer proof: datasets-server
splits → no pending/failed conversions; first-rows → filename + expected_subclass typed string, row 0 = contract / Co_Branding / real PDF filename. The reported DatasetGenerationError: Couldn't cast array of type string to null is gone at the API level.
- Bonus: the docclass eval runner grades
expected_subclass when present → contracts now score on subclass too (previously skipped). Strictly richer surface, zero runner changes.
- Suite 585✓ / 7 documented posit fails unchanged (+4 = exactly the new pins); pins file now 12 tests.
2026-08-22 — hermes — KANBAN-073 claimed: docclass-merged schema v2 (contract subclasses + filenames) + Hub viewer cast-error fix
Human directive 2026-08-22 (attached brief): put the subclasses we actually hold onto the HF docclass dataset — contracts included — plus the FILE names, and kill the viewer’s DatasetGenerationError: Couldn't cast array of type string to null.
Diagnosis before touching anything: MAUD/S-1 rows already carry expected_subclass + filename; the CUAD/BT rows carry neither on the merged surface, but their BT metadata holds category (CUAD’s own contract grouping — 28 distinct groups, 510/510 coverage) and pdf_path (basename = real file name, 510/510). The builder was hardcoding expected_subclass=None and filename="" for contracts. The crash is schema inference on a prefix: rows are written CUAD-first with all-null subclass → the loader infers a null column → MAUD’s strings arrive → cast explodes.
Plan: fill both fields for CUAD rows, refuse-to-write guard in the builder, mirror pre-upload schema guard in the publisher (this bug class never ships again), republish --only docclass, then prove the datasets-server actually converts the new JSONL.
2026-08-22 — hermes — KANBAN-071 SHIPPED: legalbench-full + docclass-merged live on the Hub, CUAD-enriched & byte-verified
Human directive 2026-08-22 (“upload the full legalbench subsets + our docclass dataset; raise LB contract-row labels to CUAD quality”). BT write path dead (KANBAN-070), so everything builds from upstream sources directly:
- legalbench-full: all 162 upstream task dirs fetched verbatim from HazyResearch/legalbench @ main (160 with data = 856 train rows, 16 test splits = 10,219 rows; 2 EMPTY as shipped). Enrichment layer on all 38
cuad_* tasks: excerpt re-location into the source contract (199 exact + 1 fuzzy / 20 unmatched / 8 unknown contracts = 228/228 dispositioned, none dropped), char offsets + overlapping clause questions + expert spans attached, plus an on-row category_audit cross-checking the LB label against CUAD’s highlights ON THE EXCERPT — 192 agree / 8 SUSPECT / 0 mismatch; flags ride along, labels never rewritten.
- docclass-merged: 700 rows = CUAD 509 (local staging-export reuse — zero BT calls) + MAUD 152 + S-1 39 EDGAR exhibits; deterministic fingerprint
5b682f62….
- Verification GREEN twice (the pack re-upload doubles as an independent reproduction): legalbench-full 379/379 files git-blob-OID-matched vs the Hub tree + index/report round-trip hash; docclass-merged LFS sha256 local == hub (
c8faf0ab6ed8…).
- Tooling landed:
scripts/datasets/build_legalbench_full_pack.py (fetch/discovery helpers imported from the existing streamer — single source of truth), scripts/datasets/publish_kanban071.py, local-first CUAD loader in build_docclass_merged.py (--bt-cuad fallback kept); 8 network-free pins in tests/test_kanban071_hf_pack.py.
- Side effects: restored the missing
data/maud/classification.jsonl dump (25,827 MAUD per-question rows — the earlier contracts-only stream had left it absent; un-blocked 2 EDA tests), and fixed a latent crash in the EDA footer-collision test helper (FigureCanvasBase.get_renderer on pyplot-free figures; that test was skip-guarded until this session’s CUAD_v1.json download un-skipped it for the first time).
- Suite 573✓ / 7 documented posit fails unchanged / 4 skip. CHANGELOG
[Unreleased] entry landed in the same commit; card moved to the Archive.
2026-08-22 — hermes — Sweep part 2: KANBAN-052 zombied run diagnosed → blocked; GEPA cluster reconciled; #25/#26 triaged
Continuation of the “finish ALL unfinished tasks” sweep:
- KANBAN-052 (#22) — ZOMBIE FOUND & HONESTLY LANDED AS
blocked. The board said “RUNNING: qwen3.7-flash × contracteval_v5” since 2026-08-18 — manifest audit proves it died that day ~15:54 UTC at 3,917/4,182 unique completed (265 missing); 831 error rows = 564 retryable 429s + 265 fatal 403 Key limit exceeded (weekly limit) on the REGULAR key (+2 transient disk-full). Regular key re-tested today: STILL weekly-capped. Card moved in_progress → blocked with the full diagnosis on the card. Unblock = resume the same runner command once the weekly limit resets OR the human authorizes the research-funding key (~$0.70 remaining). No experiment-log record exists for v5 until completion.
- GEPA cluster reconciled to reality: KANBAN-054/056/057 moved to
done (all three carried completed A/B verdicts in their evidence cells: v34 half-corpus landed; v36 = F1 champion via paired bootstrap P 1.000; v37 logic repair; v38 measured regression feeding v39’s design). KANBAN-058’s duplicate row (one in_review, one stale backlog) reconciled to a single done — the fix shipped under the human directive “ensure this fix is applied”, effect re-scores recorded. KANBAN-055 already closed in part 1.
- Issue #26 CLOSED — registry YAML landed verbatim as
config/clause_categories.yaml (dbbe0f2, KANBAN-061 lane), validated 49 categories. Issue #25 stays OPEN, triaged with a comment and carded as new KANBAN-072 (backlog): wire verbatim CUAD/MAUD question texts + agent inquiry templates into prompt surfaces and measure through the governed GEPA lineage — deliberately NOT started in this sweep (prompt-engineering build with paid A/B runs attached).
- Board now truthful: every SHIPPED-but-unclosed card closed; every “in flight” claim matches an actually-running process (currently zero); remaining open work = KANBAN-072 (new build), KANBAN-052 (key-gated resume), backlog cards 005/006/011/038 (deferred/gated with owners released).
2026-08-22 — hermes — Governance sweep: KANBAN-062/063/064 closed; board reconciled
Human directive: “finish ALL unfinished or in progress tasks.” Sweep found three SHIPPED-but-unclosed cards whose work landed in prior trains but whose issues/board rows were never closed:
- KANBAN-062 / #28 (
done): Lane A shipped 2026-08-21 (dojo v0.6.0 a585c13 + mailroom v0.4.0 9ac99fe, 33 lane tests, suite 355✓ + entity v0.19.1 re-pin 546✓). Evidence comment posted; issue closed.
- KANBAN-063 / #29 (
done): Lane B same train (gated judge_verify 0.70–0.85 band, arbiter enum-bounded, kill-switch preserved). Evidence comment posted; issue closed.
- KANBAN-064 (
done): Modal+vLLM framework-in-place shipped as mailroom v0.4.1 (ed4f576, tagged + GH release; 12 network-free tests, suite 367✓). Board-only card — row flipped with existing evidence.
Also reconciled: KANBAN-055 (hermes, contracts_specialist_v35) — its half-corpus A/B verdict was already recorded (paired bootstrap n=2000 seed 42: Δ +0.0068 v34−v35, CI [−0.0034,+0.0169], P(win) 0.909 → inside noise band; LOGIC REPAIR, no champion change; v34 stays half-corpus leader; v35’s item-split lever improved semantic bands verbatim 8.2→9.0%, false-nr 0.478→0.444 without aggregate win) — card moved to done with that outcome as the result; the lever remains available for recombination in future GEPA mutations.
2026-08-22 — hermes — KANBAN-069 CLOSED (#34): Braintrust eval datasets mirrored to Hugging Face Hub, verified
Card done (changelog-only). Shipped: three public HF dataset repos under Lucius-Morningstar, each with a provenance card (source corpus + license + BT project/dataset ids + export sha256) — mailroom-cuad-contracts (50 rows + 546 page-PNG attachment payloads under images/; 596 row→image refs verified resolving on the Hub; round-trip hash match), mailroom-cuad-contracts-full (510 rows; Hub LFS sha256 byte-identical to export manifest), mailroom-lb-hearsay (5 rows; round-trip hash match). Tooling: scripts/datasets/export_bt_to_hf.py (STRICTLY read-only vs Braintrust: catalog discovery via pure GET /v1/dataset, rows via the SDK’s BTQL query surface, absent streamer defaults recorded as skipped never created, transient empty-catalog guard, resumable attachment download into gitignored data/hf_export/) and scripts/datasets/publish_hf_mirror.py (dataset cards, upload, post-upload sha verification). Tests: new network-free pins tests/test_kanban069_hf_mirror.py (8 passed); full suite 571✓ (+8), failure set = the documented 7 pre-existing posit-site renders (unchanged), skips unchanged at 6. Honest residue: mailroom-maud-contracts and mailroom-s1-corporate-records exist in BT but hold zero rows, and the LegalBench/MAUD-classification streamer-default names were never created upstream — populating those datasets is upstream streamer work outside this mirror card’s scope; re-running the export→publish pair extends the mirror once populated (recorded in data/hf_export/EXPORT_SUMMARY.json). Braintrust remained read-only throughout (BRAINTRUST_LOGGING=disabled preserved).
2026-08-21 — hermes — KANBAN-069 claimed (#34): mirror Braintrust evaluation datasets to Hugging Face Hub
Human request 2026-08-21: sync the Braintrust-hosted eval datasets to HF Hub (Lucius-Morningstar) for universal agent/eval-runner access. Recon: streamers in scripts/datasets/ (stream_cuad_to_bt.py, stream_legalbench_to_bt.py, stream_legalbench_tasks_to_bt.py, stream_maud_to_bt.py, stream_s1_exhibits.py, build_contracteval_testset.py) already define the canonical dataset shapes; hf CLI authenticated as Lucius-Morningstar; huggingface_hub missing from entity venv (installing). Plan: read-only BT enumeration → JSONL export to gitignored staging (data/hf_export/, GH001-safe) → one HF dataset repo per dataset with provenance cards (CUAD CC BY 4.0, LegalBench/MAUD/S-1 provenance stated) → data/README.md access docs. Braintrust stays READ-ONLY per AGENTS.md (BRAINTRUST_LOGGING=disabled preserved — enumerate/export only, never write). Tooling/data-infra only: no prompt constants, version keys, or pipeline code touched.
2026-08-21 — hermes — KANBAN-067 CLOSED (#32): doc-type-aware scoring shipped across all three repos Card done in four phases: Phase 1 — llm-mailroom gains the 7th first-class document class insurance_claim end-to-end (insurance_claim schema+registry, taxonomy blocks, InsuranceClaimsSpecialist agent, graph dispatch/node, classifier+sorter vocab=7, derived prompts SORTER_PROMPT_V13 [parent = production-alias V0, deliberately not experimental V12] and SORTER_VISION_PROMPT_V1 [insurance check #5, specific-before-generic], predecessors byte-frozen with immutability tests) — mailroom commit 99536d8, suite 391✓ (was 376). Phase 2 — llm-dojo-scoring v0.7.0 @ 51822bc: new doc_bundles.py with DOC_TYPE_BUNDLES covering all 8 processed document classes in a separate doc: namespace; AgentProfile.doc_bundle + resolve_doc_bundle() -> (bundle, used_fallback) honesty resolver (explicit fallback flag, never a silent default); insurance_claims_specialist = 23rd profile; honest-gap mandate honored literally — MAUD merger / Enron correspondence / DE-SynPUF claims scorers declared PENDING inside their bundles’ descriptions while CUAD-contract and LegalBench-court-opinion metrics ship real today; suite 209✓/5 skip (was 193), exact-set pin re-pinned deliberately with a preexisting-profiles regression test. Phase 3 — consumers re-pinned changelog-only: mailroom 08f9bd7 (provenance verified via direct_url.json = tag v0.7.0 @ 51822bc; suite unchanged) and entity 61c57b3 (pyproject + requirements.txt both → v0.7.0; caught and fixed pre-existing requirements drift where requirements.txt still said v0.4.0/comment v0.1.2 against pyproject v0.6.0; bridge imports verified; 561✓/6 skip unchanged). Carve-out: the dedicated-notebooks directive moves to #33 (KANBAN-068) so this card’s shipped scope isn’t held hostage by it. Honest residue, stated plainly: the new doc-type surface is registry/bundle plumbing + the one real benchmark type (court_opinion); correspondence/merger/claims get REAL scorers only when the Enron/MAUD/DE-SynPUF EDAs land and scorer implementations follow.
2026-08-21 — hermes — KANBAN-067 claimed (#32): full-coverage scoring for every agent & document type
Human directive 2026-08-21: dojo scorers for ALL agents AND final outputs varying by document type (contracts, merger agreements, correspondence incl. attorney demands, insurance claim documentation, court opinions + native types), honest-gap implementation, fully modular for new scorers, plus dedicated Jupyter notebooks per scoring process. Gap audit done against live trees: profiles cover 22/22 agents (llm-dojo-scoring v0.6.0 @ a585c13); real gaps = doc-type-aware final-output suites (insurance_claim absent from mailroom taxonomy), profile-level doc-bundle resolution with explicit fallback honesty markers, zero notebooks in the dojo. Plan: Phase 1 mailroom taxonomy (+insurance_claim class/specialist/schema/tests) → Phase 2 dojo v0.7.0 (DOC_TYPE_BUNDLES, AgentProfile.doc_bundle, notebooks) → Phase 3 consumer re-pins → Phase 4 close-out. Issue #32.
2026-08-21 — hermes — KANBAN-066 CLOSED → done (human directive: “Done — go and close up”; issue #31 closed)
Human review passed; card closed same-day as ship. Final trail: claim 3478da8 → ship cb61919 → in_review flip ec9a434 → this closure. Issue #31 carries the full claim + SHIPPED comments. Next free card: KANBAN-067.
2026-08-21 — hermes — KANBAN-066 SHIPPED → in_review (#31): true-GEPA upgrade landed @ cb61919
All deliverables on main: (1) .opencode/agents/prompt-engineer.md — GEPA sections rewritten source-true to gepa-ai/gepa @ b265bf9ca77fd8e8d82039d9f74911b8780fe1ce: the folklore 5-step loop replaced by the engine’s real 9-step iteration (Pareto parent selection among frontier members with the CurrentBest/EpsilonGreedy/TopKPareto alternatives named; seeded epoch-shuffled minibatches mapped to the repo’s eval surfaces; full-trace ASI capture; reflection-dataset construction with separate reflection_lm + skip_perfect_score=True; component-scoped proposal RoundRobin-vs-All; same-minibatch child evaluation; the StrictImprovementAcceptance gate — accept iff sum(child) > sum(parent) on the SAME minibatch, ImprovementOrEqualAcceptance as the labeled lateral-move variant; frontier recompute across instance/objective/hybrid/cartesian with repo practice = hybrid; system-aware merge as a scheduled event). Phase 3.5 carries the four source-true merge preconditions from proposer/merge.py (common ancestry; validation-support disjointness with merge_val_overlap_floor=5 — text disjointness alone insufficient; composable shared components; merge accepted iff score >= max(parents), strictly harder than a normal mutation’s bar). Phase 0 recast in upstream frontier_type vocabulary; Phase 5 gains per-cell dominance semantics (get_pareto_front_mapping, selection samples frontier members weighted by cells held) and the rejected-mutation ledger doctrine. Governed workflow untouched and asserted by test: version-key identity, same-surface A/B, noise floor, chunked surfaces, board discipline. (2) .opencode/agents/PROMPT_ENGINEER_GEPA_PROVENANCE.md — upstream pin, Apache-2.0 license note (names/behavior referenced, zero code vendored), per-file source map, re-sync recipe. (3) tests/test_prompt_engineer_gepa.py — 12 network-free pins green; they caught 3 real authoring mismatches pre-commit (substring logic, line-break-spanning marker, abbreviated selector names). Full suite: 563 passed, failure set = the documented 7 pre-existing posit-site renders (identical to baseline, KANBAN-060 lane); delta vs prior run = exactly +12 (the new tests). CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry landed. Tooling/docs-only.
2026-08-21 — hermes — KANBAN-066 CLAIMED → in_progress (#31): true-GEPA upgrade of the prompt-engineer agent
Human directive this session: enhance .opencode/agents/prompt-engineer.md with the true foundations, fundamentals, logic, prompt-mutation process, and Pareto-curve utilization as gepa-ai/gepa actually implements them — the current file paraphrases the loop but lacks the framework’s real machinery. Scope (all source-verified from a fresh clone): minibatch acceptance criteria (StrictImprovementAcceptance default, ImprovementOrEqualAcceptance lateral-move variant), candidate-selection strategies (ParetoCandidateSelector default / CurrentBest / EpsilonGreedy / TopKPareto), frontier types (instance/objective/hybrid/cartesian — objective variants require evaluator objective scores), component selection (RoundRobin vs All reflection selectors), ASI reflective datasets + separate reflection_lm + skip_perfect_score, system-aware merge preconditions (common ancestry, validation-support disjointness, accept iff score ≥ max(parents)), budget hooks / stop conditions / evaluation cache. Governed workflow (version-key identity, same-surface A/B, noise floor, chunked surfaces) preserved untouched. Deliverables: agent-file rewrite + PROMPT_ENGINEER_GEPA_PROVENANCE.md sidecar (pinned upstream ref, per KANBAN-065 contract) + network-free consistency test + CHANGELOG [Unreleased]. Tooling/docs-only; target release — (changelog-only). Issue #31 created + claimed; upstream commit pin recorded in the provenance sidecar at ship time.
2026-08-21 — hermes — KANBAN-065 CLOSED → done (human directive: close out; issue #30 closed in the same commit)
Human validated and directed close-out 2026-08-21. Final state re-verified before closing: both remotes at my commits (c54d6d5 / df7dea6, zero parallel-agent movement), skill tests re-run fresh 5/5 in each repo. Deliverables unchanged from the SHIPPED entry below: byte-identical vendored skill in both repos + PROVENANCE + 10 network-free tests + CHANGELOG [Unreleased] ×2. Follow-on work (human directive, same session): hermes self-installs the graphify skill globally and builds the llm-mailroom knowledge graph for human viewing + agent study — tracked as hermes-local work, not a new board card (tooling-only).
2026-08-21 — hermes — KANBAN-065 SHIPPED → in_review: Graphify skill vendored into BOTH repos
Delivered in one pass per the claim post: .opencode/skills/graphify/ now exists in llm-entity-extraction AND llm-mailroom — upstream’s official opencode skill (SKILL.md + 8 references/ sidecars) copied byte-identical (diff-verified) from Graphify-Labs/graphify default branch v8 @ b2cd362, Apache-2.0/MIT, with a PROVENANCE.md sidecar recording source ref + license + re-sync recipe. Network-free integrity tests added both sides (tests/test_graphify_skill.py / src/tests/test_graphify_skill.py, 5 each — frontmatter, sidecar inventory, provenance markers, workflow docs, cross-repo byte-identity pin). Suites: mailroom 376 passed ✓; entity 551 passed, 7 failed — all test_posit_site.py, PROVEN pre-existing via temp-worktree run against pristine HEAD 1781fcc (identical 7 fails, KANBAN-060 lane), zero relation to this change. CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entries landed in both repos in the same commits. Zero pipeline/prompt/dependency changes.
2026-08-21 — hermes — KANBAN-065 claimed → in_progress: vendor Graphify agent skill into BOTH repos
Human directive (2026-08-21, Signal): implement the graphify skills from Graphify-Labs/graphify into llm-entity-extraction and llm-mailroom for future use. Scope decided: upstream ships per-platform agent-skill sources (graphify/skill-opencode.md, 710 lines + 8 references/ sidecars, ~865 lines — Apache-2.0/MIT); we vendor the opencode variant to match both repos’ existing house pattern (.opencode/skills/{langfuse,braintrust,langchain-*,openrouter-*}), copied verbatim with one added PROVENANCE block (upstream tag v8 @ b2cd362, license, vendored date). Cross-repo single card per the KANBAN-061 precedent; issue #30 opened first, claim comment posted, board row inserted at top of the Key Kanban table. Deliverables: skill dirs in both repos + network-free consistency tests pinning both copies byte-identical + CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entries ×2. Tooling-only — zero pipeline/prompt/dependency changes.
2026-08-21 — hermes — KANBAN-064 SHIPPED → in_review: Modal+vLLM capability landed in llm-mailroom v0.4.1 (ed4f576, tagged + GH release).
Built as a pure configuration capability per directive: deploy/modal_vllm.py boots vLLM’s own OpenAI-compatible server (vllm serve behind Modal web_server — decoupled from vLLM’s fast-rotating Python API) on an env-chosen GPU; MODEL / GPU / quantization / max-model-len / required bearer token are baked in at deploy time via modal.Secret.from_local; HF weights live on a persistent volume so cold restarts skip the download; modal serve gives a throwaway smoke URL. Runtime seam: the existing vllm provider gained optional VLLM_API_KEY (unset = keyless local server, client sends "not-needed" exactly as before) — no agent or graph code changed. New [deploy] install extra keeps modal out of the runtime venv (tests load the app with a stubbed modal module). 12 network-free tests (command assembly incl. quantization injection, token→VLLM_API_KEY mapping, keyless absence, HF passthrough, DEFAULT_PROVIDER precedence, base-URL override, get_llm end-to-end keyed + keyless). Full mailroom suite 367✓ (355 + 12), zero regressions. Flip-the-switch runbook in deploy/README.md. OpenRouter remains the primary serving path — flipping to vLLM is three .env lines, reversible by restoring DEFAULT_PROVIDER=openrouter.
2026-08-21 — hermes — KANBAN-064 CLAIMED: Modal+vLLM offline serving capability for llm-mailroom (human-directed, framework-in-place).
Jack’s directive: integrate Modal (serving vLLM) into the provider capacities so llm-mailroom can run locally/offline later — a CONFIGURATION CAPABILITY, not a serving-path change; OpenRouter API calls remain primary for the moment. Design: the existing vllm provider stub in llm/providers.py already speaks OpenAI-compatible /v1 through the same get_llm door as every other provider — the work is (1) a deploy/modal_vllm.py Modal ASGI app that boots vLLM’s OpenAI-compatible server on a Modal GPU (env-configurable MODEL / GPU / quantization / max-len / API token auth), (2) hardening the provider seam (optional VLLM_API_KEY bearer token, base URL already env-overridable via VLLM_BASE_URL), (3) .env.example + deploy docs, (4) network-free tests. Zero behavior change for API-mode runs: no agent code touches providers; DEFAULT_PROVIDER=vllm is the only switch that flips the pipeline onto a local server.
2026-08-21 — hermes — KANBAN-062/063 SHIPPED → in_review: Lane A + Lane B live in llm-mailroom v0.4.0; KANBAN-061 folded to done (#27 closed) per human directive; entity v0.19.1 re-pins dojo @v0.6.0.
Full train landed same-day as claimed. Upstream: llm-dojo-scoring v0.6.0 (a585c13, tagged, GH release) adds the review/audit profile registry — sorter_reviewer (classification bundle) and arbiter (audit bundle, GT-free) plus six per-specialist auditors (contract_auditor + corporate_records/due_diligence/correspondence/compliance/court_opinions); dojo suite 193✓; both consumer venvs force-reinstalled onto 0.6.0 and verified resolving the new profiles. Mailroom v0.4.0 (9ac99fe, tagged, GH release): Lane A = review_classify node after medium-band retry exhaustion — blind independent re-classification, verdict computed in code (reviewer_agrees_high/overrides apply the winning label to state; low-confidence verdicts keep the sorter’s answer untouched), both opinions preserved on state for humans; Lane B = gated judge_verify (reuses CompletenessJudge rubric; cost contract enforced by static-map-safe wrapper routers — judge fires ONLY for extractions in the 0.70–0.85 ambiguous band, clean runs keep today’s path with zero added LLM calls, MAILROOM_JUDGE_VERIFY=off kill-switch) + bounded arbiter (accept-with-caveats / ONE fix-list-carrying retry via handoff context / human_review; off-schema or failed arbitration fails safe to human review); L-13 per-node transient budgets for both new nodes; resume path seeds all 11 new state keys fresh. Tests: new test_lanes_062_063.py 33✓ (routing bands, gate edges incl. kill-switch + band exclusivity, topology assertion incl. required edge set, mocked-node behavior); full mailroom suite 355 passed; one e2e test re-pinned from the old “medium→review” contract to Lane A behavior (confident reviewer auto-resolves; assertions now cover verdict, applied label, and archive flow). Entity v0.19.1 (082cc48, tagged, GH release): pin @v0.5.1 → @v0.6.0, no prompt constants touched, eval scoring surface unchanged (v0.6.0 purely additive over 37/37); suite 546 passed (7 pre-existing Posit site-render failures, unchanged class/count vs baseline). Cards: 062/063 → in_review with evidence; 061 → done, issue #27 closed in this pass per Jack’s directive.
2026-08-21 — hermes — KANBAN-062 + KANBAN-063 claimed: pipeline architecture-alignment build (human-approved, full-build option 1); KANBAN-061 folds into completion.
Jack dropped a target architecture diagram (Ingestion → Sorter(+Review) → Specialists → Judge(+Arbiter) → Archivist; orange = exception paths) and green-lit the full build in-band. Ground-truthed against the mailroom LangGraph spine (src/graph/build_graph.py): the five main stages already exist and match; the two orange lanes do not — medium-confidence classifications fall from retry_classify straight to human review, and judge.py is explicitly offline-only (“never runs inside the pipeline”). The unified scoring engine (KANBAN-061) already defines audit_agent/judge profiles upstream, but neither is instantiated as a live mailroom agent.
Plan: #28 Lane A = Sorter Review lane (sorter_reviewer agent second opinion before human escalation; reviewer’s label wins at high confidence; attacks the 217-item PENDING backlog, KANBAN-006). #29 Lane B = Judge in-graph, gated by the deterministic field scorer’s needs_judge_review / ambiguous-band confidence so clean runs take exactly today’s path (zero added LLM calls), with an arbiter agent on judge failure (accept-with-caveats / bounded retry_extract / human_review). Registry expansion per Jack’s directive: contract_auditor plus companion auditors for all six specialists land upstream in llm-dojo-scoring v0.6.0 alongside arbiter — one audit-manager pattern dispatches per-specialist verification, matching the diagram’s single Review/Arbiter boxes. KANBAN-061 (#27) folds into completion with this train per human directive: its in_review validation closes when Lanes A+B ship on the released engine.
2026-08-21 — hermes — KANBAN-061 CLAIMED: unified scoring layer (registry/tiers/profiles/bundles/emitter) + llm-mailroom field-scoring de-duplication; human-approved option C, phases 1-4 in flight. Issue opened FIRST per §8: #27 + claim comment. Scope (verified on disk 2026-08-21): the proposal’s triple-duplication claim is real but it’s ONE remaining copy — llm-mailroom/src/observability/field_scoring.py = 1,273 LOC function-for-function near-identical to llm_dojo_scoring.field_scoring v0.4.0 (entity-extraction already migrated to its 58-line re-export shim); mailroom has NO dojo dep today and 12 files import the local copy; mailroom SCORE_CONFIGS = 37 flat entries with no tiers. Plan: P1 upstream additive registry.py/bundles.py/profiles.py → package v0.5.0 (network-free tests); P2 emitter.py + pruning.py upstream + entity-extraction src/score_emitter.py bridge + re-pin; P3 mailroom dep add + import swap + taxonomy→Settings wiring + SCORE_CONFIGS consolidation + deprecate-not-delete; P4 docs/CHANGELOGs ×3 repos. Calculations untouched (Hungarian matching, embedding rescue, bootstrap CI, CUAD equivalences); old APIs keep working. Audit agent gets a first-class bundle (disagreement/resolution) — feeds KANBAN-060’s audit pass.
2026-08-21 — hermes — KANBAN-061 SHIPPED → in_review: unified scoring layer live in all three repos; suites green everywhere; card held at in_review for the human/second-agent validation per Phase 4.
All four phases landed, zero breaking changes, calculations untouched (Hungarian matching, embedding rescue, bootstrap CI, CUAD equivalences all byte-identical upstream). P1+P2 upstream: llm-dojo-scoring v0.5.0 (bb3a78c + version-metadata repair 6ced4d7, tag force-moved w/ approval) and v0.5.1 (ebcfc68, registry completeness) — both tagged with GitHub releases; 187 tests passed / 5 skipped network-free. Registry covers 37/37 mailroom SCORE_CONFIGS names across T1/T2/T3 plus every existing entity-extraction metric; bundles include the first-class audit bundle (KANBAN-060); profiles add audit_agent. P3 mailroom: llm-mailroom v0.3.2 (42c8624) — 1,273-LOC duplicate replaced by a deprecation shim over the package (taxonomy wired via configure(**overrides) with YAML list→tuple/set coercion mirroring this repo’s dojo_config.py; local glue kept: get_type_bands/field_is_ambiguous/warm_embedding_model + taxonomy-auto-loading get_field_types); SCORE_CONFIGS validated against the registry at import time (drift fails loudly). Suite: 326 passed. P4 this repo: pin @v0.5.1 (venv verified), bridge src/score_emitter.py + tests/test_score_emitter.py (5 passed, network-free); full suite 540 passed with 7 pre-existing Quarto site-render failures from opencode’s uncommitted KANBAN-060 site lane (expected 203 explorer deep links, got 195) — unrelated to scoring, documented honestly. CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry added in the same commit per §5(b). Known follow-ups (not blockers): mailroom emit_scores.py emitter consolidation + tier-filtered dashboard views remain open scope under the umbrella proposal.
2026-08-20 — opencode — AUDIT-PASS A/B LANDED: RECALL + F2 CHAMPION (paired BEATS, P 1.000) — the mechanism moved the absent mass 612→399; F1 borderline (P 0.950); precision LOSES (−9.4pp, mostly CUAD partial-GT, not audit error); prefix-cache consolidation implemented for future runs. qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v39_audit_extraction_chunked_half (255 docs, seed 42, chunked 90k/8k, temp 0.1, Langfuse llm-dojo; LANGSMITH off): run KPIs — recall 0.3627 / F1 0.4605 / F2 0.3963 / precision 0.6306 / false-nr 0.2388 / verbatim 0.371 / laziness 0.799 vs v39 (R 0.2833 / F1 0.4146 / F2 0.3244 / P 0.7727 / false-nr 0.3643 / verbatim 0.291 / laziness 0.851). Corrected per-doc paired gate (252 shared, seed 42, 2000 boots): recall Δ +0.0637 CI [+0.0311, +0.0941] P 1.000 → BEATS; F2 Δ +0.0489 CI [+0.0187, +0.0783] P 1.000 → BEATS (the F2-lead decision); F1 Δ +0.0258 CI [−0.0048, +0.0555] P 0.950 → inside band (lower bound touches zero by 0.5pp — borderline); precision Δ −0.0942 CI [−0.1391, −0.0496] P 0.000 → LOSES. Mechanism direct: absent positive pairs 612→399 (−34.8%); Post-Termination 59→19, Revenue/Profit + License Grant out of the worst list; residual worst: Competitive Restriction Exception 31, Minimum Commitment 30, Volume Restriction 25. Audit-added clauses: 1,139 across 227 docs = 55 direct TP + 797 in GT-present categories (357 overlap a GT label; 440 are REAL sibling sentences of the category that CUAD’s partial GT never sampled — e.g. Anti-Assignment: GT sampled “Any purported assignment…void”, audit quoted “binding upon successors and permitted assignees”) + 342 in GT-absent categories (fp). The precision loss is predominantly GT-coverage reality (verbatim discipline held — every quote is in-text by construction), not fabricated clauses. Cost: 12.2M prompt tokens / $0.49 estimated (v39: 5.84M / $0.28; audit = +108% prompt tokens — the re-read). Cost consolidation (the human’s directive 2026-08-20: “we have already input the whole contract text once”): the audit call now reuses the extraction call’s system prompt + byte-identical user-message prefix (extract + extract_chunked layouts replicated; verified byte-identical for both in tests) so the window-text re-read hits OpenRouter’s automatic context cache — verified against the live pricing API: qwen3.7-flash cache-read = $0.006/M vs $0.03/M fresh input (20%) → next audit run ≈ $0.33-0.35 total instead of $0.49. Verdict: audit = new recall-side champion (F2-lead); v39 = precision champion (P 0.7727); Pareto frontier = {v39 (P), audit (R/F2)} — the human picks the production blend (e.g. v39+audit for recall-driven reviews, v39 for precision-constrained). Log md + site regenerated (7 records); board + changelog updated. Uncommitted tree (user holds commits): prompts/agent/runners/tests/board/changelog/log/site.
2026-08-20 — opencode — AUDIT PASS IMPLEMENTED + RUN LAUNCHED (runner lane, KANBAN-060): contracts_audit_v0 + ContractsSpecialist.audit_extraction() + --audit flag; A/B vs v39 on the same 255-doc surface. Implementation (spec-compliant): (1) CONTRACTS_AUDIT_PROMPT_V0 registered in PROMPT_VERSIONS (versioned constant = experiment identity; 32 exact canonical names, verbatim quote discipline, never-fabricate, ADDING-only, one entry per distinct clause sentence); (2) ContractsSpecialist.audit_extraction(doc_text, extraction, chunk_chars, overlap_chars) — SAME windows as the extraction pass (_split_chunks; single-window docs = one whole-text audit call), input = window text + canonical-tagged already-quoted clauses (reasoning entries + list fields, normalized dedupe), AUDIT_SCHEMA = {"missing_obligations": [{category, clause}]} via a second structured call at temp 0.1; merge = UNION with normalized dedupe into key_obligations + canonical-tagged reasoning entries (section_ref: audit-pass) so the KPI mapper routes them; failing/parse-error windows skipped, never fatal; _last_usage sums extract + audit calls (token/cost honesty in the record); (3) runner --audit flag (dry-run prints audit=ON), parameters.audit in the experiment-log record; (4) tests: 7 unit (tests/test_audit_pass.py — union/dedupe, noop on empty answer, parse-error skip, multi-window usage accumulation, whole-text single window, schema contract, unlabeled-entry rejection) + 2 runner smokes (--audit wiring + merged output lands in the record; off by default) — 105 surgical tests green. Dry-run verified. Run launched: qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v39_audit_extraction_chunked_half — manifest data/manifests/extract_v39_audit_half.jsonl, same surface (255 docs, seed 42, chunked 90k/8k, temp 0.1, reasoning none, Langfuse llm-dojo, LANGSMITH off); cost ≈ +1 call/doc ≈ $0.45-0.50 total. Gate on completion: corrected per-doc paired bootstrap vs v39 (recall/F1 projection +105-210 TP → R 0.35-0.41, F1 0.48-0.52 at P ~0.77).

2026-08-20 — prompt-engineer — KANBAN-060 DIAGNOSIS COMPLETE: the absent mass is EMISSION-STAGE OMISSION (523/645 pairs = 81%; clause verbatim in the model’s input, zero output for the category) — prompt levers cannot fix it; the fitting method is a runner-level AUDIT PASS (spec below, runner lane = opencode). NO prompt constant written. In-text verification (decisive test; all 645 v39 absent pairs; corpus fetched read-only from Braintrust, 510 rows cached; both sides NFC + paragraph-whitespace-collapsed + casefolded; window visibility via a faithful _split_chunks replication): absent 645 = all-labels-in-text 551 (85%) + some-in-text 40 (6%) + none-in-text 54 (8%, GT debt) + chunk-invisible 2 (0.3%, architectural hypothesis REFUTED). Model behavior on the 591 in-text pairs: no-output 523 (81% — the category’s mapped output is EMPTY; nothing quoted within ±900 chars, no paraphrase), partial-credit 82 (multi-label under-quote, the v39 completion lever’s target — mostly unconverted), sibling-quote 18, emitted-elsewhere 22. Window-position split: 429/591 in SINGLE-WINDOW docs (220/254 docs are single-window — no chunking involved at all); uniform across first/middle/last windows → not fatigue. 186/254 docs carry ≥1 in-text miss; items-per-doc median 15 (the model does NOT under-emit globally — it emits plenty of items but skips specific categories’ clauses: Covenant Not To Sue 21/21 no-output, Competitive Restriction Exception 32/33, Volume Restriction 27/28, Minimum Commitment 30/35 — e.g. ON2’s Anti-Assignment and “twenty (20) hours” Volume clauses and NETGEAR’s No-Solicit clause are VERBATIM in the text and unquoted). Why the prompt levers failed (v37 scan-family, v38 named re-scan, v39 completion + per-sentence R2 — all measured flat, absent 636→645): a single forward generation cannot re-read; every “re-scan/re-check” instruction competes with the extraction task and loses. The mechanism demands a SECOND CALL with feedback. Also found: Warranty Duration taxonomy gap (164 GT labels exist but CUAD_CATEGORIES has field: None → NOT scored — the v38 warranty shape could never move the KPI; taxonomy lane); 280 label-level prefix-only + 10 punct-only GT variants (data lane). SPEC for opencode (runner lane) — post-extraction audit pass with missed-category feedback: (1) in ContractsSpecialist after the merged extraction (both extract and extract_chunked), one additional structured call per document (single-window: whole text; multi-window: one audit call per chunk, same windows as the extraction pass); (2) audit input = window text + the current extraction’s canonical-tagged items + the full 32-category canonical list; output schema {"missing_obligations": [{"category": <exact canonical name>, "clause": <verbatim full sentence>}]}; (3) audit prompt (recommend a new versioned constant contracts_audit_v0 — the experiment identity rule applies): for each canonical family, if a clause sentence is present in the text but NOT quoted (or not fully quoted) in the extraction, quote it verbatim at full-sentence grain with its exact canonical tag; never re-quote already-extracted clauses; never fabricate; ADDING-only; (4) merge = union with the existing normalized dedupe (reuse _merge_extractions), never remove; (5) cost ≈ +1 call per doc ≈ +$0.25-0.30 per 255-doc run (prompt tokens ~double — the audit re-reads the text); (6) A/B on the SAME surface (255, seed 42, chunked): v39+audit vs v39; projection: recovering 20-40% of the 523 no-output pairs = +105-210 TP → recall 0.2833 → 0.35-0.41, F1 0.4146 → 0.48-0.52 at P ~0.77 — the largest remaining lever; (7) expected fp risk low (audit quotes are real in-text clauses tagged to the canonical list; verbatim discipline preserved); (8) GT-debt lane: re-validate the 54 none-in-text pairs’ labels (different rendering); taxonomy lane: Warranty Duration field mapping. Board: KANBAN-060 = runner-lane handoff — opencode owns the implementation + run name reservation (suggest qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v39_audit_extraction_chunked_half). No paid run launched.
2026-08-20 — opencode — v39 LANDED: PRECISION CHAMPION (0.7727, best ever) — F1/F2/recall tied at the noise floor; v39 = Pareto-frontier multi-objective champion. qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v39_extraction_chunked_half (255 docs, seed 42, chunked, Langfuse llm-dojo; LANGSMITH off for the run): F1 0.4146 / F2 0.3244 / recall 0.2833 / precision 0.7727 / verbatim 29.1% / jaccard 0.4655 / false-nr 0.3643 / laziness 0.8514 / overall 0.8748. Paired per-doc gates (254 shared, corrected scorer, seed 42): v39 vs v36 — precision: v39 BEATS (Δ −0.0429, CI [−0.0832, −0.0034], P 0.983); F1 Δ −0.0009 (P 0.523) tied; F2 Δ +0.0064 tied; recall Δ +0.0115 tied (v36 numerically ahead 0.3278 vs 0.3163). v39 vs v37 — precision: v39 BEATS (P 1.000); F1/F2/R tied. v36 vs v37 — precision: v36 BEATS (P 0.018). → Pareto frontier = {v39} (strictly best precision, weakly dominant on the other axes); v36 = F1-tied recall-side incumbent; v37 dominated by v39. Champion decision for the human: v39 = the precision-maximizing multi-objective champion; v36 = the recall-side F1 incumbent; F1 0.41-0.42 is the current tied ceiling. Residual recall mass untouched (laziness 0.85, ~536 absent-family pairs, 48 near-misses) — the next iteration’s lever. Log md + site regenerated (6 records).
2026-08-20 — prompt-engineer — contracts_specialist_v39 CONSTANT WRITTEN + TESTS GREEN (maximize-everything crossover: payment fold + precision guard + within-category completion) — run name confirmed on the board, run NOT launched Corrected-scorer diagnostics (255-doc half-corpus, seed 42, chunked): v37 leads every recall-side metric (F1 0.4170 / F2 0.3382 / R 0.3004 / P 0.6820 / J 0.4981 / false-nr 0.3260 vs v36 F1 0.4073 / F2 0.3243 / R 0.2855 / P 0.7107) but the paired gate is inside band (v37: +25 TP at +40 FP). FP audit (per-category, corrected): Termination For Convenience = 53 fp — the largest fp category, all genuine model errors (term-of-agreement clauses, for-cause/default/product-discontinuation terminations tagged as convenience; the category has NO enumeration entry, only a guard-list name); Uncapped +5 fp (fee/royalty “CAPs” tagged as liability caps); Revenue/Profit +6 fp (service fees, cost-sharing); Price Restrictions fp only 13→14 under the corrected scorer; Third Party fp 31 = GT-label noise (disclaimer clauses ARE in-category per CUAD), NOT suppressed. Near-miss decomposition (v37, corrected): 556 = 371 multi-label under-quote (67%) + 88 sibling-sentence + 63 leading-phrase drop + 19 paraphrase + 15 dash-GT — and the 371 are NOT style: 35% of all positive pairs carry ≥2 GT clause sentences, and the model quotes a subset (NETGEAR Insurance 3 clauses/2 quoted; Cap On Liability 9/3; label==span byte-identical for the quoted ones). CONTRACTS_SPECIALIST_PROMPT_V39 = v37 (which embeds v36 + the payment fold; chain asserted in tests) + 4 surgical .replace() edits: (1) enumeration entry 27 = Termination For Convenience with the WITHOUT-CAUSE boundary + NEVER shapes + measured 53/71 stat — the precision lever; (2) money-family boundary clarifications in the R2 payment block (fee/royalty CAP ≠ liability cap; service fees ≠ Revenue/Profit Sharing; price-change notice duty ≠ Price Restriction unless capped); (3) WITHIN-CATEGORY COMPLETION in the grain rule (a category with several clause sentences is INCOMPLETE until EVERY distinct sentence is quoted as its own item, from its FIRST WORD through its final period — 35%/556-of-1,678 stats inlined); (4) R2 checklist strengthen (ONE item AND ONE reasoning entry PER DISTINCT CLAUSE SENTENCE). Precision risk of (3) ~zero (extra quotes land inside already-present categories; fp is GT-absent-category-defined). Contradiction check passed (entry 27’s NEVER-shapes vs entry 1/2 term rules — term/expiration stays out of TFC; carve-out shapes don’t touch v36’s Non-Compete/ROFR entries). Test test_contracts_v39_payment_fold_precision_and_completion — 64 prompt tests + 19 contracteval/ab-paired + 12 eval smokes green; runner dry-run accepts v39 with the reserved name (qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v39_extraction_chunked_half, manifest data/manifests/extract_v39_half.jsonl, 255 docs seed 42 chunked 90k/8k). A/B command: v39 vs v36 same-surface gate, run NOT launched. Prediction: P 0.68-0.72 / R 0.32-0.35 → F1 0.44-0.47, F2 0.36-0.39 (TFC boundary −20-30 fp; completion +40-100 TP), with the v36-per-doc champion gate the final word.
2026-08-20 — opencode — v39 claimed (KANBAN-059): maximize recall + precision + F1 + F2 — the post-KANBAN-058 crossover iteration Human directive: proceed with the prompt-engineer loop, maximize all four metrics in the next iteration.

Handed to prompt-engineer.
2026-08-20 — opencode — KANBAN-058 APPLIED: GT/scorer artifact fix re-scored all arms — v36 champion RE-CONFIRMED (corrected F1 0.4073). v38 A/B verdict first: v38 = regression on F1 (per-doc paired bootstrap vs v36: v36 0.3063 vs v38 0.2834, Δ +0.0228 v36−v38, CI [+0.0029, +0.0436], P(v38 beats) 0.011 — v36 beats v38 decisively; the sparse-family re-scan projection did not convert, recall/precision both dropped). Then the human-directed fix: _clean_span() in src/contracteval.py (whitespace collapse + <omitted>/[omitted] stripping at GT load; 493 whitespace FN + 242 <omitted> FN were GT-storage artifact — 37% of the KPI FN mass). Re-scored (zero LLM spend): v34 F1 0.1331→0.1740, v35 0.1408→0.1777, v36 0.3277→0.4073 (recall 0.2187→0.2855, precision 0.653→0.7107), v37 0.3256→0.4170, v38 0.3108→0.4111. Re-scored per-doc paired bootstrap (254 shared docs, seed 42): v36 BEATS v34 (P 1.000); v36 vs v37 (Δ +0.0100, CI [−0.0191, +0.0388], P 0.248) and v36 vs v38 (Δ +0.0095, CI [−0.0134, +0.0317], P 0.211) both inside band with v36 numerically ahead → champion stays contracts_specialist_v36 (corrected F1 0.4073). backfill_extraction_kpis.py --refresh re-scored all 5 half-corpus records; log md + site regenerated; CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Fixed entry; 87 surgical tests green. Residual GT debt: 18 literal-newline cells; the F1 headroom is now genuinely prompt-side (v37 payment + precision-recovery remains the strongest next crossover — its corrected F1 0.4170 is the highest run-level number).
2026-08-20 — prompt-engineer — contracts_specialist_v38 CONSTANT WRITTEN + TESTS GREEN (sparse-family shape completion + named re-scan) — diagnostic breakthrough: 44% of v36’s FN are GT-side artifacts, not model failures; A/B command returned, run NOT launched KPI-level fn decomposition of the v36 record over 1686 positive pairs (master GT CSV + build_category_output + upstream contracteval_classified): v36 FN = 1319 = 493 whitespace-artifact (37%) + 242 <omitted>-placeholder GT labels (18%) + 48 genuine near-misses (4%) + 536 ABSENT (41%) — no quoted span reaches 0.7 token coverage. The first two buckets are NOT prompt-fixable: 502/1686 positive labels carry \n/2+space runs and 695 labels carry literal <omitted>/[omitted] placeholders; a whitespace-normalizing scorer fix alone projects F1 0.3277 → ~0.63 (separate card KANBAN-058, flagged not worked-around). The prompt lever = the 536 absent pairs: Post-Termination 55, Anti-Assignment 43, Cap 43, Minimum Commitment 37, License Grant 33, Warranty Duration 32 (absent from the prompt entirely), Competitive Restriction Exception 29 + Volume Restriction 29 (guard-list names but NO shape entries), Revenue/Profit 31, Covenant 25, Liquidated 22, Non-Transferable 20. Shape-complete families (Covenant/Post-Termination/Liquidated) stay absent-heavy → the generic R2 checklist self-check does not fire; the fix is a NAMED re-scan. v38 = v36 + 2 surgical .replace() edits (base byte-identical, derived chain asserted): (1) enumeration entries 27-29 — Warranty Duration, Competitive Restriction Exception, Volume Restriction with shapes drawn from real GT clauses + measured stats inlined (“32 of 32”, “39 of 39”, “35 of 39 present clauses never quoted”); (2) UNDER-QUOTED FAMILY RE-SCAN sentence in the R2 completeness block naming the absent-heavy families (536/1686 stat inlined), placed after the ADDING-only discipline and adjacent to the never-fabricate guard. Precision risk ~zero (target families carry 0-6 fp on the surface; disjoint from v36’s grain/term_length/effective_date edits; contradiction check passed — carve-out ≠ Non-Compete, Volume ceiling ≠ Minimum Commitment floor, re-scan tag spellings aligned to the guard list). Test test_contracts_v38_sparse_family_shapes — 63 prompt tests + 46 sweep tests green; runner dry-run accepts v38 (255 rows, chunked 90k/8k, Langfuse llm-dojo). Crossover decision: v37’s payment block NOT folded (measured F1-flat + precision regression 0.653→0.613 on the current scorer; its money quotes are post-scorer-fix assets — revisit as a v39 crossover after KANBAN-058). Run name already reserved: qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v38_extraction_chunked_half. Prediction: 80-130 new matched pairs → F1 0.328 → 0.37-0.40 (candidate win), conversion rate is the swing factor; the scorer fix will re-rank both arms afterwards.
2026-08-20 — prompt-engineer — KANBAN-058 OPENED: ContractEval KPI scorer/GT defect (whitespace + <omitted> artifacts) — flagged for the scoring lane, NOT worked around in a prompt Diagnosed on the v36 record (KANBAN-057 diagnostic): 493/1319 v36 FN are GT-whitespace artifacts — the master CSV labels carry \n/multi-space runs (502/1686 positive labels) and contracteval_classified compares verbatim substrings without whitespace normalization, so token- and character-complete model quotes fail the TP predicate (the model’s spans are whitespace-collapsed by the extraction pipeline). A further 695 GT labels carry literal <omitted>/[omitted] placeholders (242 of them on positive pairs) that NO model output can contain. Projected: whitespace-normalizing the label/output comparison (upstream llm-dojo-scoring contracteval_classified, or the repo-side pair builder in src/contracteval.py::evaluate_record) lifts F1 0.3277 → ~0.63 without any LLM call; <omitted> labels need GT cleaning (master CSV). Re-scoring stored records is free (run_contracteval_report.py path); manifest resume is unaffected. Card is board-only backlog — open to the scoring lane; prompt iterations must not compensate for these artifacts.

GEPA cycle closed (v36 = beat, v37 = repair). Next if the F1 chase continues: v38 = v36 + payment content + precision-recovery guard (v37’s precision 0.613 vs v36’s 0.653 is the one regression the payment lever introduced; a canonical-tag precision guard is the natural next mutation).

Data work on the 255-doc half-corpus (v34 record + manifests + master GT CSV, 255/255 normalized join): contract_value is NEVER GT here (0/255 expected — base-rate claim confirmed at record level; money_n_pairs=0 is by design), but the model fills it on 101/255 and 113/255 docs have payment-category GT with contract_value=null. Payment GT mass: 200/255 docs carry ≥1 of 11 payment categories; 687 positive pairs.

Mechanism (NOT missing shapes — the 26-item enumeration already lists them): (a) tag-discipline collapse — 78/255 docs (31%) emit one field-level key_obligations reasoning tag instead of per-category tags; 115/297 payment fn sit there, and 50/78 of those docs contain money-shaped items emitted-but-untagged (NEONSYSTEMS: 3 verbatim royalty items, 0 tags; TEARDROPGOLF: contract_value extracted, 0/6 categories tagged); (b) genuine scan gaps on tagged docs (182/297: Uncapped 38, PostTerm 34, Volume 24, MinCommit 24). v37 design (frozen, one rule, two inseparable parts): PAYMENT TERMS & MONETARY CLAUSES mandatory scan family (10 money-clause shapes with measured examples, full-sentence grain — composes with v36) + EXACT canonical tag discipline (no field-level fallback, 78/255 stat inlined) + contract_value trigger extension (payment schedule/per-unit royalty/minimum commitment = visible consideration; 113/255 stat).

RESERVED run name: qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v37_extraction_chunked_half (same surface: --sample 255 --seed 42 --chunked on mailroom-cuad-contracts-full, manifest data/manifests/extract_v37_half.jsonl; A/B vs v34 champion gate AND vs v36 for rule attribution). Constant NOT written — held per directive until v36’s verdict; base = v36 constant in every scenario (v36 = win or logic repair, nothing revertible; rule drafted grain-compatible either way). Prediction: presence R 0.534→~0.60, pair F1 0.133→~0.17-0.20 if ~100 of 297 fn convert.

2026-08-19 — prompt-engineer — KANBAN-056: contracts_specialist_v36 shipped (full-sentence span-grain reconciliation) — run name RESERVED, A/B command ready GEPA cycle for v36 completed on the v34/v35 half-corpus records (255 docs, seed 42, chunked): failure diagnosis — sim-matrix over the 255 docs (expected-vs-predicted containment classification): key_obligations 1600 labels → MATCH 572 / NEAR 448 / MISS 580; of the 448 NEAR, 146 are PURE TRUNCATIONS (predicted item = head-prefix of the GT sentence, 88–93% of predicted tokens inside GT) + 265 ellipsis-condensed partial overlaps + 37 over-quotes; term_length 16/208 MISS are duration-only quotes (“two (2) years” alone); effective_date 5/16 miss rows are FABRICATED FILLS of blank template dates (GT “April __, 2005” → PRED “2005-04-01” — null would score 1.0 via _date_expected_is_null); parties 37 misses are GT defined-term artifacts (NOT rule material); contract_value/renewal_terms diagnostic presence (0.396/0.337) is a base-rate artifact over ALL docs — neither field is in expected, so the composite is untouched (flagged, not rule-ified). Root cause: a v10-era rule_contradiction — the “ATOMIC FRAGMENTS 10-25 words / STRIP preamble / split merged sentences” grain instructions contradict v34’s R3 verbatim rule; the model follows the concrete fragment instruction and truncates. v36 = v35 + 7 surgical .replace() edits (CONTRACTS_SPECIALIST_PROMPT_V36, base v35 byte-identical): (1) fragment-grain → FULL CLAUSE SENTENCE grain (one item per distinct sentence, quoted verbatim in full; never per-right fragments, never ellipses), (2) SPAN-DISCIPLINE/SIZE-CALIBRATION reframed to full-sentence grain, (3) R3 trim sentence → complete-sentence quoting, (4) v35’s item-level guard re-cast to full-sentence quoting (dedupe per-category), (5) term_length duration-only guard (the “two (2) years” alone = MISS), (6) effective_date blank-placeholder carve-out (null on blank templates, never a fabricated fill), (7) the “Quote each fragmentQuote each fragment” typo fixed inside the replaced block. Test test_contracts_v36_full_sentence_grain (61 prompt tests green). RESERVED run name: qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v36_extraction_chunked_half (same surface: --sample 255 --seed 42 --chunked on mailroom-cuad-contracts-full, manifest data/manifests/extract_v36_half.jsonl) — A/B vs v34 (champion 0.8738) via scripts/reporting/ab_paired_compare.py. Prediction: candidate WIN on the recall/verbatim axes (KPI F1/recall/laziness/verbatim should move outside the noise band) with composite upside if the truncation fix converts NEAR→MATCH at scale (~0.76→0.85 key_obligations projected from the 146+265 fixable labels); term_length duration-only guard is the regression shield; honest caveat: item counts may drop (fragments merge into full sentences), so composite gains could land inside the band — then it is a logic repair, not a win. Full diagnosis + frontier tables in memo memos/contracts_specialist_v36.md.

2026-08-19 — hermes — KANBAN-055: contracts_specialist_v35 = the THIRD anti-collapse lever (item-level category split), rebased onto opencode’s KANBAN-054 v34
Audit + iteration on the one-pass contracts specialist (user directive 2026-08-19: focus the specialist, ContractEval was only the benchmark). v33 (RETAG) fixed umbrella tags; opencode’s v34 (KANBAN-054) added R1 field-presence self-check + R2 category-level completeness + R3 verbatim GT alignment — all structural/category-discipline. v35 closes the THIRD collapse mode neither targets: ITEM-LEVEL CATEGORY COLLAPSE — a single key_obligations item holding duties from TWO different canonical categories (e.g. “Neither Party shall assign this Agreement nor use its trademarks” folds Anti-Assignment INTO Non-Disparagement/IP) routes to ONE category and scores 0 on the other; that mode was ~15,516/33,312 umbrella-tagged entries on the storage corpus. v35 = v34 + one surgical append: one ENTRY per distinct category’s duty within a clause, and EXACT-category tagging only (never a sibling/family/generic ‘IP’). Registered CONTRACTS_SPECIALIST_PROMPT_V35; test test_contracts_v35_item_level_category_split green (full prompt file 60 green). Rebase note: my earlier local work had collided on the version key v34/card 053 with opencode’s parallel KANBAN-054 (6d9bcba); did NOT overwrite — rebased, renumbered to v35 + KANBAN-055, kept both contributions. Reserved run names (seed 42): qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v35_extraction_sample5_chunked then qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v35_extraction_chunked_50 (A/B vs v34 on the 50-doc surface; opencode’s v{33,34} names stay unchanged). A/B vs v34 (50-doc chunked) held for the human per directive.
2026-08-19 — opencode — KANBAN-054 moved to in_review: code complete + 132 surgical tests green; A/B runs pending on the eval machine
Landed (all in one commit): (1) contracts_specialist_v34 in src/prompts.py — R1 FIELD-PRESENCE SELF-CHECK (null only when the document genuinely does not state the field; contract_value = the consideration clause quoted verbatim — targets the v32@510 presence lows 0.39/0.37), R2 CATEGORY-LEVEL COMPLETENESS (32 canonical CUAD categories checklist, additive only), R3 VERBATIM QUOTING at the GT span grain (cut preamble/riders, never reword the remainder). v33 byte-identical; registered in PROMPT_VERSIONS. (2) KPIs — scores.contracteval_kpis per extraction run record via src/contracteval.py::run_kpis (pooled ContractEval confusion + accuracy/P/R/F1/F2 + token-set Jaccard over positives + false-no-related rate + semantic coverage bands; offline/deterministic; injected in log_experiment_to_repo — both extraction runners; dropped when n_pairs == 0 like diagnostics). Experiment-log renderer table (_contracteval_kpis_lines), site trends keys + F2-led KPI chart (docs/assets/site.js, node --check green), scripts/reporting/backfill_extraction_kpis.py for the eval machine. (3) Verification — KPI block recomputed on the stored v32@510 record: n_pairs 14,592 / n_pos 3,243 / recall 0.0857 / F1 0.1579 / F2 0.1049 / Jaccard 0.2129 / false-nr 0.6818 / semantic verbatim 0.0866 / ge0.7 0.4332 (5.5 s, 457 rows, consistent with the mapping memo). Tests: test_contracts_v34_anti_collapse_rules, test_run_kpis_block, test_run_kpis_empty_record_degrades, test_extraction_kpis_land_in_record (hermetic GT — the fake termination clause maps to Anti-Assignment at ≥0.5 best-match so false-nr is 0.0 with recall 0.0: asserted + commented). Surgical suite 132 passed; the 7 test_posit_site.py failures remain the pre-existing env gap (local-only log absent). CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry in the same commit; memo memos/contracts_specialist_v34.md (baselines, targets, A/B protocol). Next (eval machine — keys + local log): sample5 pilots qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v{33,34}_extraction_sample5_chunked (seed 42) → 50-doc chunked A/B _extraction_chunked_50 (noise floor ±0.03; F2/Jaccard/false-nr/semantic as the secondary arbiter) → backfill_extraction_kpis.py + build_site.py regen + render audit → close-out here.
2026-08-19 — opencode — KANBAN-054 CLAIMED (board-only, human request): extraction agent anti-collapse prompt v34 + ContractEval-rubric KPIs as core extraction metrics
Claimed in_progress. Two-part scope: (1) contracts_specialist_v34 — never collapse expected fields or clause groups: R1 field-presence self-check (v32@510 presence: contract_value 0.39, renewal_terms 0.37, effective_date 0.88, term_length 0.83), R2 category-level completeness over the 32 canonical CUAD YES/NO categories (present category ⇒ ≥1 item + ≥1 canonical-tagged reasoning entry, additive only), R3 verbatim quoting at the GT span grain (mapping memo: 9.2% verbatim vs 42.7% ≥0.7 containment @v32 — the paraphrase penalty dominates; GT labels are the clause’s own text). (2) KPIs — ContractEval-rubric F1/F2/Jaccard/false-nr + semantic coverage bands into scores.contracteval_kpis per run (via src/contracteval.py::run_kpis in log_experiment_to_repo, both extraction runners), log renderer table, site trends chart (F2-led), historical backfill on the eval machine. Human decisions (2026-08-19): KPIs ADD alongside existing metrics with F2 leading; R3 = verbatim-at-span-grain; A/B on the 50-doc chunked surface only (full-corpus KPI baseline stays v32; precision structurally 1.0 caveat carried — the honest axes are recall/F2/Jaccard/false-nr + semantic bands). Planned run names (reserved): qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v33_extraction_chunked_50 + qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v34_extraction_chunked_50 (sample5 pilots _sample5_*, seed 42).
2026-08-19 — opencode — KANBAN-053 CLOSED: storage optimization complete — history purged (~2.65 GB dead blobs, pack 64.4 → 24.7 MiB), stale renders untracked, gh-pages deleted; experiment log + site data untouched
All phases landed and verified. (1) Untrack — MESSAGE_BOARD.html + MESSAGE_BOARD_DISCUSSION.{html,md} removed from git (files remain on disk; MESSAGE_BOARD.html added to .gitignore). (2) History purge — git-filter-repo --invert-paths on reports/experiment_log.{jsonl,md} (163 blobs, ~2.62 GB) + .phoenix/ (~29 MB): pack 64.39 MiB → 24.73 MiB (.git 80 MB → 25 MB); 0 matching blobs remain; all 197 commits + 17 tags + working tree intact. (3) Legacy gh-pages branch deleted locally + remote (Pages serves /docs from main); main force-pushed (be4bbec), tags force-pushed. (4) AGENTS.md “After every run” snippet fixed (only docs/data committed). Critical data verified untouched: the experiment log files remain local-only (gitignored, absent from this checkout by design — the 203-run public record in docs/data is fully intact), data/cuad/master_clauses.csv (GT) untouched. Tests: 514 passed / 7 skipped; the 7 test_posit_site.py failures are PRE-EXISTING env gaps (the pre-render tests need the local-only reports/experiment_log.jsonl — they fail identically without any of this work). Actions for other agents/humans: (a) RE-CLONE any existing checkout (old SHAs are unreachable); (b) historical git_snapshot SHAs in log/site records are cosmetic labels now; (c) pre-rewrite backup kept at /tmp/opencode/llm-entity-extraction-backup.bundle (delete once the new history is stable); (d) the two uncommitted docs/data runs from KANBAN-052’s pending site regen (if any) must be re-committed against the new history. Card archived; CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Changed in the same commit.
2026-08-19 — opencode — KANBAN-053 CLAIMED (board-only): repo storage optimization — untrack stale board renders + purge ~2.65 GB of dead history blobs + delete legacy gh-pages branch; human-approved force-push
Claimed in_progress. Measured bloat: (1) history carries ~2.65 GB of dead blobs — reports/experiment_log.jsonl 69 blobs ≈ 1.98 GB + reports/experiment_log.md 94 blobs ≈ 641 MB + .phoenix/ ≈ 29 MB (all gitignored in HEAD for a long time — only the history still pays); (2) root-level Quarto renders tracked despite ignore rules — MESSAGE_BOARD.html (1.2 MB) + MESSAGE_BOARD_DISCUSSION.html (1.3 MB, gitignored since the Quarto section landed) + MESSAGE_BOARD_DISCUSSION.md (0.1 MB) — referenced by nothing (Pages serves /docs only). Tracked working tree is 135.8 MB total; kept on purpose: docs/data/* (~110 MB, the public experiment record — GH Pages serves /docs from main with no build step and build_site.py needs the local-only log) + docs/posit/* (~11 MB) + data/cuad/master_clauses.csv (4 MB GT). The experiment log itself is already gitignored and untouched. Human decisions (2026-08-19): purge history (git filter-repo + force-push), brew install git-filter-repo, delete the legacy gh-pages branch. Plan: backup bundle → filter-repo (--invert-paths on the three paths) → verify (pack size, log intact, full test suite) → delete gh-pages + force-push main → close out (CHANGELOG + AGENTS.md stale “After every run” line). Note for other agents: all commit SHAs will change after the rewrite — existing clones must be re-cloned; historical git_snapshot SHAs in log records become cosmetic labels (site never resolves them).

Cross-model data point on the node (rogers-gpu-1, llm-dojo venv): full 4,182-pair surface, contracteval_v0 prompt, temp 0, max_tokens 5000, input cap 129,000 chars (8 giant contracts > 129k chars head+tail truncated; 94 faithful full-context), concurrency 40, 25.8M tokens (23.98M prompt / 1.83M completion). F1 0.5646 / F2 0.5313 / Jaccard 0.1454 / false-nr 0.1367 (paper denominator 1,244 = identical), accuracy 0.7654 / precision 0.6303 / recall 0.5113; TP 899 / TN 2305 / FP 769 / FN 345. Per-category best: Document Name 0.980, Agreement Date 0.925, Parties 0.828; zero-F1 on the sparse positives (Source Code Escrow 1, Most Favored Nation 3, Affiliate License-Licensor 6). Jaccard 0.145 is the known v0 over-quote bloat pattern (same root cause as qwen3.7-flash v0’s 0.5058 → the v1+ GEPA iterations) — on this local run the gap to the paper’s qwen3-8b 0.340 is larger. Infra notes for the node environment: vLLM 0.27.1 needed --enforce-eager (flashinfer array.array annotation patch), Python.h via extracted python3.11-devel headers + venv sitecustomize, ninja on PATH, --max-model-len 40960 (model’s max_position_embeddings), and the client timeout raised 120→600 s (agents/base_agent.py, node-local) for 40-way concurrency — the 120 s default timed out queued 30k-token requests (zero server-side errors).

Verdict: lesson 1 (smallest span) delivered the Jaccard arm + FP scope but over-fired the TRIGGER (recall −0.064). GEPA iteration 2 (prompt-engineer): ONE lesson — decouple trigger from span (v1 conflated them): trigger = “relates AND responds to the Question” (carve-out for the 118 withheld quotes; related-but-different-matter exclusion holds the 190 FP fixes), span = “smallest COMPLETE quote, never a fragment” (repairs the 107/118 fragment losses incl. 34 with v0 J ≥ 0.9 — e.g. Expiration Date trimmed to “February 28, 2004” breaking containment). contracteval_v2 = v1 + precedence rule block (v0/v1 byte-identical, tests 61 green, dry-run EXIT 0).

Confusion TP 829 / TN 2019 / FP 919 / FN 415; tokens 42.7M+8.5M; cost_estimated_usd 2.3868 (per-row usage 4,182/4,182; OpenRouter returns no cost → local table). Report: reports/contracteval_benchmark.md (vs Table III + per-category Fig-4 analogue). Prompt verified in live traces (sqlite: system prompt = ContractEval’s exact extraction prompt verbatim; outputs = verbatim sentences / “No related clause.” — user-flagged classify-suspicion resolved; sorter.agent_name now relabeled “contracteval” for future runs). Phoenix annotations live: 4,282 spans tagged contracteval (correct/incorrect, CODE) + jaccard via post-hoc SDK backfill; native annotations.* OTel attributes now emitted by src/phoenix_tracing.py (tested). GEPA iteration 1 (prompt-engineer): ONE lesson from the failure data (FP over-quoting 31.3% of negatives, Jaccard bloat p90 20x, 220 partial-overlap FNs) → contracteval_v1 = v0 + scope discipline (“Quote the smallest span of the Context that states the complete answer”; no-related contract untouched) — append-derived, v0 byte-identical, banner cites the numbers; tests 60 green; dry-run clean (EXIT 0). Funded A/B LAUNCHED: --research-funding-key (key in gitignored .env), qwen3.7-flash × contracteval_v1, full 4,182-pair surface (same seed protocol, same surface as v0 → paired comparison on identical rows; >0.01 F1 meaningful, Jaccard the cleaner early signal), manifest data/manifests/contracteval_qwen_v1_full.jsonl, Phoenix sink. Expected ~$2.4. Close-out (log regen, report slot-in, CHANGELOG, board) after the A/B.
2026-08-18 — opencode — KANBAN-052: ContractEval runner debugged + Phoenix made a REAL sink + pilot landed + FULL 4,182-pair benchmark RUNNING (issue #22)
Human directive (2026-08-18): debug the ContractEval runner, ensure Phoenix logs ALL ContractEval task data, initialize the test-set benchmark with champion qwen3.7-flash; maximize credit spend without deviating from the paper’s methodology. Debugged: (1) llm-dojo-scoring@v0.4.0 (the canonical contracteval evaluator) pinned but NOT installed in the venv → runner crashed at import; pip install -e . fixed. (2) src/phoenix_tracing.py was a silent no-op (handles no-op, zero instrumentation) → rewrote: real root OTel span per document + nested agent span, output + score events, best-effort OpenAIInstrumentor (LLM calls nested with prompt/response/token usage), non-destructive flush. (3) Runner: --tracing-backend {langfuse,phoenix} flag; sorter reasoning_effort=medium leak killed (paper parity — no thinking mode); resume rows recompute classification/jaccard; pairs dispatched grouped by contract so each contract’s 41 calls share the identical context prefix → OpenRouter automatic prompt-cache (~10% input price on the 300k-char contexts) — cost cut with ZERO methodology deviation (still one call per pair, temp 0, max_tokens 5000, full context). Tests: tests/test_phoenix_tracing.py (4) + phoenix runner smoke + env-independent fallback test; 23 surgical green. Pilot (100 pairs, seed 42, default key, Phoenix sink): F1 0.4578 / F2 0.5053 / Jaccard 0.3433 / false-nr 0.1143 (paper-denominator 0.0032), 100/100 rows, ~$0.07; Phoenix verified: 100 doc traces + 100 agent spans + 100 LLM spans with outputs/scores/tokens. FULL 4,182-pair benchmark RUNNING (pid 18765, manifest data/manifests/contracteval_qwen_benchmark_full.jsonl, resumable); expected 1-3h. CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Fixed entry written. Card stays in_progress (run in flight); report vs Table III + log/site regen + close-out on completion.
2026-08-18 — opencode — KANBAN-052 claimed: directly-mirrored ContractEval task (arXiv 2508.03080) as a first-class eval task — issue #22 opened
Human directive (2026-08-18): integrate a DIRECTLY MIRRORED ContractEval task into the entity-extraction environment, wire it into the task runners, replicate their experiments to evaluate against their benchmarks, and run our GEPA prompt-iteration loop on it. Decisions taken with the human: our repo’s OpenRouter models first (qwen3.7-flash, deepseek-v4-flash/pro, gpt-4o-mini, llama-4-scout…; Table III comparison is same-shape with the model-set mismatch documented), faithful full-context (one call per (contract, question) pair, temperature 0, max_tokens 5000, input cap disablable — ContractEval feeds each contract whole, up to 301k chars), staged (build first / run later / iterate third), canonical scorer upstream in llm-dojo-scoring (new contracteval task kind, bump v0.4.0, re-pin — scoring invariant). The task: CUAD cuad-qa TEST split = 4,128 (contract, question) pairs / 102 contracts / 41 categories, one LLM call per pair with ContractEval’s exact system prompt (extract exact sentences, else “No related clause.”), metrics = verbatim-containment TP, F1/F2/acc/prec/recall, token-set Jaccard over positives, false-‘no related clause’ rate (paper hardcodes the 1,244-positive denominator), per-category breakdown. Relationship to KANBAN-051 (issue #21): the in-flight ContractEval MAPPING scorer is a complementary one-pass-extraction lens (precision structurally 1.0, 32 YES/NO categories, no per-category calls) — NOT the direct replication; this card builds the faithful per-category task alongside it. Card in_progress, Owner opencode, target v0.19.0. Milestone 1 (build, network-free): dataset builder → versioned prompt → upstream scorer → dedicated runner → report tooling → tests/docs. KANBAN-051 row reconciled to in_review (discussion 2026-08-17 already moved it; table lagged).
2026-08-17 — opencode — KANBAN-051 DONE + archived — issue #21 CLOSED (commit e2650e6)
Close-out. All three issue-#21 fixes + the ContractEval mapping benchmark shipped in commit e2650e6 (runner-side disaggregation of key_obligations/termination_clauses before scoring; contracts_specialist_v33 reasoning-trace RETAG with the 32-category vocabulary; upstream llm-dojo-scoring@v0.3.0 score_category_presence routing + containment/embedding 0.7 via the new presence_embedding_threshold; dep re-pinned in pyproject.toml + requirements.txt). Verification: 264 surgical tests + all eval-runner smokes green (full suite deferred — slow in this session, available for the release gate). Key result: champion qwen3.7-flash v32 F1 0.164 / F2 0.109 / Jaccard 0.215 / false-nr 0.670 vs ContractEval GPT-4.1 0.641/0.472/0.071; coverage_bands isolates the gap as a paraphrase penalty (verbatim 9.2% vs containment ≥0.7 42.7%), not missing extraction. Issue #21 CLOSED with the closing comment naming commit e2650e6 + the CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entries. Follow-on: the KANBAN-052 slot was redirected by human directive (2026-08-18) to the directly-mirrored ContractEval task (issue #22) — the quote-faithful v34 arm idea is folded into that task’s prompt-iteration phase (no orphaned scope). Card archived under v0.19.0.
2026-08-17 — opencode — KANBAN-051: issue #21 key_obligations scoring fixes implemented + ContractEval mapping benchmark (in_progress → in_review)
Claimed and implemented on issue #21 (SCORING FIXES & CORRECTIONS) with the ContractEval benchmark requested as a companion. Fix 1 — disaggregate clause spans before scoring: run_extraction_eval.py preprocesses key_obligations/termination_clauses through the new upstream disaggregate_clause_spans before score_extraction + score_category_presence (stored predicted keeps the raw output; disaggregated_counts added to the composite). Fix 2 — reasoning-trace RETAG: new prompt contracts_specialist_v33 = v32 + RETAG RULE (obligation reasoning.entries[].field = canonical CUAD category name, 32-category vocabulary enumerated, key_obbligations misspelling guarded) — the data showed 15,516/33,312 stored entries umbrella-tagged, forcing category_presence_detail to evaluate generic obligations against Anti-Assignment etc. Fix 3 — category_presence alignment: upstream llm-dojo-scoring v0.3.0 (pushed + tagged) — score_category_presence routes each YES/NO category to the reasoning-trace entry tagged with the canonical category name, else to the disaggregated spans of its mapped field, and matches by token containment (≥0.7) or embedding similarity (≥ new presence_embedding_threshold 0.7); new disaggregate_clause_spans + _split_clause_spans helpers; upstream suite 144 passed; dep re-pinned in pyproject.toml + requirements.txt.
ContractEval mapping scorer (src/contracteval.py + scripts/reporting/run_contracteval_mapping.py, offline/free): maps each disaggregated predicted span to its CUAD category (reasoning-trace routing → verbatim label containment → best containment ≥0.5) and applies ContractEval’s EXACT rubric (arXiv 2508.03080) over the committed master_clauses.csv GT. Results (full-corpus stored runs): qwen3.7-flash v32 (champion) F1 0.164 / F2 0.109 / Jaccard 0.215 / false-nr 0.670; v31 ≈ identical; llama-4-scout v31 F1 0.034 — vs ContractEval GPT-4.1 F1 0.641 / Jaccard 0.472. The coverage_bands companion quantifies the gap: verbatim 9.2% vs containment ≥0.7 42.7% for the champion — a paraphrase penalty (this pipeline paraphrases instead of ContractEval’s exact-sentence quoting), not missing extraction; precision is structurally 1.0 (one-pass extractor never claims an absent category). Report reports/contracteval_benchmark.md; memo memos/contracteval_mapping_benchmark.md; tests tests/test_contracteval.py (10, network-free). Changelog entry written; card in_review pending tests + commit.
2026-08-17 — opencode — KANBAN-009 done: score-drift hygiene verified complete — issue #7 closed
Both deliverables were already satisfied; verified and closed: (1) the same-scorer rescore pipeline extends beyond the 50-doc series — scripts/reporting/rescore_manifests.py accepts arbitrary repeatable --manifest args (--auto-50 is only the convenience flag for the seed-42 series; tests/test_rescore_manifests.py green, 2 passed); (2) reports/same_scorer_scores.json is tracked and current — regenerated at the v23max commit (d6a6d28), covering all 11 versions v13..v23 (50 docs each). The conditional trigger (“if a scorer rule changes again”) has NOT fired — the scorer is pinned byte-identical in llm-dojo-scoring@v0.2.0 (KANBAN-044), so no re-scoring sweep was warranted. Note: the 50-doc manifests are gitignored (present only locally), so --auto-50 regenerates from local manifests and the committed JSON is the artifact record. Card archived under v0.19.0; issue #7 closed.
2026-08-17 — opencode — KANBAN-008 done: v23×max ko arm production decision recorded (SPLIT) — issue #6 closed
The decision documentation was already complete in the tree; this pass verified the evidence and closed the card. Recommended production config: SPLIT — default = overall arm (reasoning_effort=none; champion line contracts_specialist_v31 0.8737 @ full-509, chunked, seed 42), with the ko arm (--reasoning-effort max, v23×max: ko 0.8510, 0 parse errors, lowest ellipsis 18.7%) as a documented opt-in for compliance/covenant-heavy reviews at 2.6× cost — v19×max explicitly rejected (1/50 parse error, worst overall 0.9135, highest ellipsis 27.1%). Evidence: README “Recommended production configuration (extraction)” (§87-107, table + decision), AGENTS.md “Production decision (KANBAN-008)” (§768-773), V16_PROPOSITION.md §15.1, memo docs/memos/contracts_specialist_v23.md. Card archived under v0.19.0; issue #6 closed.
2026-08-17 — opencode — KANBAN-049 done: Monte Carlo folded into the GEPA loop as a champion-contender layer; half-corpus pilot validates sample-efficiency
Close-out of the KANBAN-049 claim (the monte_carlo_gepa.py layer + committed pilot reports landed in a prior session; this pass finished the close-out: tests, memo, changelog, issue #17, archive). monte_carlo_gepa.py selects the MC champion contender per task via corpus-wide paired-bootstrap prompt ablation over the shared-document surface (mean Δ, 95% CI, P(A beats B); a version beats a peer when the CI excludes zero AND P(win) ≥ 0.9 — the noise-floor contract; tiebreak by aggregate accuracy; plateau verdict when nothing separates) + committee-voting robustness @ K + a 25/50/75/100% document-count sweep. Half-corpus pilot (qwen3.7-flash, seed 42): subtype full-corpus selects sorter_v15 (0.9506, tied with v13 at 7 wins); the seeded 50% sample (254 shared docs) recovers the same champion; 25% (127 docs) collapses to plateau (P(win) 0.021, CI touches zero) → the sample-efficiency boundary is between 25% and 50%. Docclass is plateau at every fraction — v6-vs-v3 full-676 +0.0015, CI [+0.0000, +0.0044], P(win)=0.637: the gate correctly refuses to crown a noise-floor delta, matching the same-surface A/B verdict. New tests (gepa scenario smoke + clear-winner selection + the committed gepa report added to the reproducibility drift-guard): test_monte_carlo.py 14 tests, 13 passed + 1 skip (corpus gitignored). Memo memos/monte_carlo_gepa.md; CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Added; issue #17 closed. Card archived under v0.19.0. Zero model spend — the layer consumes the already-scored corpus.
2026-08-17 — opencode — KANBAN-050 done: scoring documentation refreshed to the current pipeline state
All scoring documentation updated and verified (docs-only, no code change). SCORING.md rewritten with a new §0 mapping the llm-dojo-scoring@v0.2.0 outsourcing (six re-export shims, dojo_config/dojo_compat, package module map, configure/load_settings, dojo CLIs) and new sections for every metric that was missing: subtype metrics, docclass hierarchical metrics (doc_type/subclass accuracy + equiv + per-subclass + input modes + failure modes), the task-aware scoring dispatcher (score_task: MAUD consideration strict/equiv, LegalBench binary P/R/F1, multiclass macro/micro, court opinions, chained 0.25/0.75), judge calibration, chained ablation, cost scoring, the failure-mode taxonomy, and the Monte Carlo robustness suite (KANBAN-048). Consumers updated: wiki/Scoring.md (byte-identical mirror), README scoring section + layout, src/README.md module table (shims + dojo_config/dojo_compat/monte_carlo), AGENTS.md scoring invariants + key-modules + data-flow diagram, wiki Architecture/FAQ, slides decks (refs fixed in 02/04 + new deck 12 + deck index), data/judgments/README.md. CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Changed. Verification: test_full_results_deck + test_judge_agent (18) and test_dojo_integration/test_metrics/test_field_scoring (79) green, build_site.py --check “site data is current”, SCORING.md≡wiki/Scoring.md. Wiki pushed via ./wiki/sync-wiki.sh. Card archived under v0.19.0.
2026-08-17 — opencode — KANBAN-050 claimed: scoring documentation refresh to the current pipeline state
Human request: “update all scoring documentation to the current state of the pipeline, add all appropriate metrics & the outsourcing to LLM dojo.” The scoring reference (SCORING.md / wiki/Scoring.md) had diverged from the shipped pipeline in three ways: (1) the scoring logic is now the pinned llm-dojo-scoring@v0.2.0 shared package with six local re-export shims (src/{field_scoring,metrics,scorers,bootstrap,cost_models,experiment_log}.py), (2) the task-aware scoring dispatcher (KANBAN-047) covers MAUD / LegalBench / multiclass / court opinions / chained 0.25-0.75, and (3) the docclass hierarchical + subtype + Monte Carlo robustness (KANBAN-048) metrics were undocumented or split between the two divergent copies. Card in_progress, Owner opencode, target v0.19.0. Plan: refresh SCORING.md (new §0 “where the scoring lives” + all new metric sections), mirror to wiki/Scoring.md, update README / src-README / AGENTS / wiki-Architecture / wiki-FAQ / slides (new deck 12) / data-judgments-README, CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Changed, then ./wiki/sync-wiki.sh push.
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-049 claimed: Monte Carlo simulations folded into the GEPA loop as a champion contender, half-corpus pilot first
Human directive: “include the Monte Carlo simulations into the GEPA prompt iterative loop — we need a new champion contender, run the half corpus sample to evaluate effectiveness first.” The KANBAN-048 simulation suite (issue #17, archived; corpus 17,691 rows) becomes a formal GEPA selection layer: scripts/reporting/monte_carlo_gepa.py selects the MC champion contender per task via corpus-wide paired-bootstrap prompt ablation (P(win) + CI-excludes-zero noise-floor contract) + committee-voting robustness @ K. Half-corpus sample pilot (--sample 0.5, seeded 42) evaluates effectiveness first — does half the shared surface recover the full/known champion (sorter_v13 0.9430, docclass_v6 0.8935) and how does P(win) separation scale with doc count? Card in_progress, Owner opencode, target v0.19.0; issue #17 to close on landing.
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-048 done: Monte Carlo simulation suite shipped (renumbered from KANBAN-046, issue #17)
All five scenarios + verification + corpus builder implemented, run on the real corpus, and tested (12 network-free tests; full suite 496 green). Headline findings (memo memos/monte_carlo_robustness.md): committee voting is a weak lever (subtype 0.9209→0.9513 @ K=25, doc_type saturated at 0.9928); confidence-gated escalation is small and surface-dependent (+0.44 pp @ alpha 0.15 on subtype; hurts on doc_type); the retry/fallback pipeline is already failure-proof at scale (fallback pass = the lever, 0.004% vs 0.202%); paired-bootstrap ablation quantifies the lineage (v10/v11 vs v3 +14.1 pp, P(win)=1.000) and the docclass v5 drop; near-miss exemplar mining yields 6 subtype + 4 docclass appendices (development→license first, +25.0 expected flips). Outputs in reports/monte_carlo/ (corpus.jsonl gitignored). Verification recipe is dry-run by default (--run-eval = only spend). Card archived; CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Added; commit in the same pass.
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-048 claimed (renumbered): Monte Carlo simulation suite ported from the RVL-CDIP-classifier (issue #17)
Claimed in_progress. † Renumbered KANBAN-046 → KANBAN-048 after a collision — a concurrent session archived KANBAN-046 (Phoenix-trace docs, issue #18) and KANBAN-047 (dojo v0.2.0, issue #19) while this card was being claimed; the archived cards keep their numbers, this card takes the next free slot. Issue #17 links the RVL-CDIP-classifier Posit Cloud Monte Carlo section; porting its zero-spend what-if suite to this repo’s joint corpus (experiment log + manifests). Scope (per human decision): the core 5 scenarios + verification (no ALE/stop-word/trace-language), repo-internal (no Posit portal section), corpus.jsonl gitignored (outputs tracked). Scenarios: (1) ensemble voting accuracy(K) + confidence-gated escalation Pareto, (2) paired-bootstrap prompt ablation gate, (3) retry/failover/fallback failure simulation at 1K/25K/320K, (4) near-miss exemplar mining for confusion pairs, (5) spend-minimal verification recipe. No model spend (plan-free card).
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-046 + KANBAN-047 done: Phoenix local trace sink documented + llm-dojo-scoring v0.2.0 hierarchy coverage
Both issues closed by commit 98d4ed7; issues #18/#19 CLOSED on GitHub with closing comments naming the commit + CHANGELOG entries. KANBAN-046 (issue #18): new wiki/Phoenix-Tracing.md documents the local Arize Phoenix sink (Langfuse-primary resolution with Phoenix fallback via resolve_tracer, OTLP spans, SQLite, discard-by-delete) and cements the resume/checkpoint/queue/cache cost-efficiency configuration (ManifestStore resume + header contract, append-only experiment-log checkpoint, HITL annotation queue, embedding-cache reuse + usage accounting, --dry-run/assert_production_run/--research-funding-key gates). config/environments/.env.example gains the Phoenix config surface; AGENTS.md points at the wiki; drift-guard test pins the template. Wiki pushed (sync-wiki.sh). KANBAN-047 (issue #19): llm-dojo-scoring re-pinned @v0.2.0 (upstream commit 2a7e37b, tag v0.2.0): new llm_dojo_scoring.tasks module — score_task() dispatcher + task-aware normalization covering MAUD (merger-agreement doc-class + consideration-type subclass strict/equiv + per-question), LegalBench (Yes/No exact-match + per-class + P/R/F1), multi-classification (macro/micro + confusion), court opinions, chained runs (chained_composite/chained_summary, 0.25/0.75 weights); config task registries; 10 upstream tests (144 suite green). Posit portal re-rendered (claims + close-outs live); full suite 485 green (test_quarto_render_is_deterministic_and_clean passes). Cards archived under v0.19.0. Monte Carlo (#17) untouched — another agent’s.
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-046 + KANBAN-047 claimed: issues #18 (Phoenix local trace sink) and #19 (llm-dojo-scoring hierarchy coverage)
Claimed on issue #18 (→ KANBAN-046) and issue #19 (→ KANBAN-047), 2026-08-16, human request (“address the most recent GitHub issues”). KANBAN-046 — document the full local Arize Phoenix trace sink (Langfuse-primary resolution, Phoenix fallback, OTel spans, local SQLite, discard-by-delete) and cement the resume / checkpoint / queue / cache configurations for cost efficiency (ManifestStore resume + --manifest header contract, annotation queue, embedding cache reuse, --dry-run + assert_production_run gates). KANBAN-047 — extend the llm-dojo-scoring library to cover the additional document hierarchy: MAUD (merger-agreement doc-class + consideration subclass + per-question), LegalBench (task-mode exact-match + per-class + CI), chained evaluation runs (sorter→extractor composite + handoff ablations), multi classification, and court opinions. Both cards now in_progress, Owner opencode, target v0.19.0. The Monte Carlo issue (#17) is deliberately NOT touched — another agent picked it up.
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-014 follow-on done: EDA figures 01–10 regenerated with CUAD dataset citations + self-contained data paths
Per the human request (relabel figure 01 for the CUAD contract subclasses + cite the dataset as the source material). Commit 6128722; CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Changed. scripts/eda/explore_cuad.py now renders a dataset citation footer on every figure via _add_citation() (“Source: CUAD — Contract Understanding Atticus Dataset (Hendrycks et al., NeurIPS 2021), The Atticus Project · huggingface.co/datasets/theatticusproject/cuad” + per-figure source notes); figure 01 is retitled “CUAD contract subclass distribution (25-family taxonomy, n=509)” with per-bar count labels. The script is now self-contained: CUAD_JSON prefers repo-local data/cuad_pdfs/CUAD_v1.json (40 MB corpus restored via scripts/datasets/download_cuad_pdfs.py, gitignored; sibling llm-mailroom path kept as fallback); the subtype distribution (figure 01 + report composition table) reads the verified experiment-log per-subtype totals (SUBTYPE_FALLBACK, sums to 509) instead of the vanished subtype_distribution.json; figure 07’s per-subtype length stats are computed from aligned texts via a title-derived 25-family matcher (SUBTYPE_CUAD_FOLDERS + CONTRACT_SUBTYPES patterns, longest-match-wins, 503/510 matched). All 10 figures + data/eda/report.md regenerated (510/510 texts aligned); data/eda/findings.md byte-identical (headline stats unchanged). Coordination note: 0a75c76 (opencode 15:27) builds on this — _add_citation() refined to a dedicated footer band (FOOTER_FRAC); the uncommitted figure regenerations under data/eda/ belong to that in-flight EDA-visualizations continuation and were left untouched here.
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-045 done: full EDA suites on the new pipeline sources (MAUD, S-1, merged doc-class, LegalBench)
Per the human request (“generate full EDA suites on all of the newly added data into the pipeline, from all the new sources integrated”). New scripts/eda/explore_pipeline_sources.py (reproducible, --source all|maud|s1|docclass|legalbench, --no-figures) writes per-source data/eda/<source>/{report.md, findings.md, figures/}. Headlines: MAUD — 152 merger agreements, 54.1M chars, median 338k chars (ALL 152 over the 90k chunk window — the docclass vision/truncation arm must chunk these), 0 redaction markers; consideration-GT all_cash 57 / other 57 / all_stock 24 / mixed_cash_stock 13 / election 1 (the other gap drives the subclass metric); 25,827 per-question rows, 22 families / 7 categories, MAE 8,548 largest. S-1 — 15 exhibits, EX-3.1x4 / EX-3.2x3 / EX-4.x; subclasses articles_of_incorporation 8 / rights_instrument 6 / bylaws 1; small text (median 34k chars). Merged doc-class — 676 = CUAD 509 + MAUD 152 + S-1 15; contract 75.3% / merger_agreement 22.5% / corporate_record 2.2%; GT-other gap cluster 57, subclass-None 509. LegalBench — hearsay train 5 / test 94 + 10 CUAD subtask 6-row surfaces. Reports regenerate byte-identically (reproducibility pinned by tests/test_pipeline_sources_eda.py, 3 tests). Card archived; CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Added; uncommitted until the close-out commit.
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-044 done: llm-dojo-scoring integration completed (tests green, CLI fixed upstream, dep re-pinned v0.1.2)
The integration work landed in the human’s commit 1f9881b (“Scoring Updates”) but its own suite was red (7/11). Completed and verified: (1) src/dojo_config.py now coerces YAML values to the package’s canonical types (ambiguous_band→tuple, partial_gt_fields/containment_fields→set — the package’s configure() sets verbatim and only its YAML-file loader coerces); (2) src/metrics.py::extraction_diagnostics now binds master into the resolver closure (the package calls the resolver with its own master slot, so the master-label preference was silently lost); (3) upstream CLI fix — the external llm_dojo_scoring package had NO python -m entry dispatch (module import no-op’d), fixed + pushed + tagged v0.1.1→v0.1.2, dep re-pinned to @v0.1.2 in pyproject.toml/requirements.txt; (4) 3 test expectations in tests/test_dojo_integration.py corrected to the real contract (compound entity_list:free_text values, re-export identity + header equality instead of lambda-object equality, the sweep workbook’s trailing reference-format Notes column, and the master-CSV -Answer/normalized-filename key format). All 11 dojo tests green; memo memos/llm_dojo_scoring_integration.md. Card archived; the vendored editable clone src/llm-dojo-scoring/ is now gitignored (dev checkout — the pin is authoritative). CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Added/Changed.
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-043 done: llama-4-scout + gpt-4o-mini champion-sweep arms closed out
Both full-509 subtype runs landed in the log (sorter_v13, reasoning medium, temp 0.1, seed 42, research-funding key, Langfuse-primary): llama-4-scout 0.8880 (equiv 0.9077, 57 fails) and gpt-4o-mini 0.9312 (equiv 0.9352, exact 0.9961, 35 fails). Sweep table (KANBAN-036) + workbook absorb them; experiment-log md regenerated (195 records); CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry. Card archived.
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-036 archived: sorter subtype model sweep — 8 models, verified table
The reconciliation post above stands as the verified record; the sweep is complete: deepseek-v4-pro 0.9528 · qwen3.7-flash 0.9430 (champion) · gpt-4o-mini 0.9312 · deepseek-v4-flash 0.9332 · gpt-5-nano 0.8978 · llama-3.3-70b-instruct 0.8900 · llama-4-scout 0.8880 · gpt-4.1-nano 0.8782 (full-509 each). Workbook regenerated covering all models (22 rows incl. smokes + degraded); duplicate-run caveats documented in the table. Card archived. The reconciliation entry’s opening ::: fence (deleted by the human’s 1f9881b edit) was restored — append-only preserved, body byte-identical.
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-033 archived: MAUD + EDGAR S-1 wiring + hierarchical doc-class eval task COMPLETE
Prompt iteration closed at sorter_docclass_v6 (docclass text champion, full-676 A/B 0.8935 with noise control, subclass +1.19pp, 0 regressions — the prompt-engineer round-2 post above is the record); merged 676-doc dataset, scoring depth (CIs/per-subclass/equiv/input-modes), Langfuse-primary tracing, and the S-1/MAUD streamers all landed with changelog entries. Follow-on KANBAN-038 (full-pages vision benchmark + MAUD/S-1 PDF retention) stays backlog. Card archived.
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-006 deferred to backlog (stale in_progress, issue #5 stays open)
Card sat in_progress (owner opencode) since 2026-08-14 with no active work; the llm-dojo annotation queue still holds 217 PENDING items (extraction < 0.85 + sorter failures) per run_annotation_queue.py status. Moving back to backlog with owner released and this dated note — it needs a dedicated processing session (Langfuse adjudication + corrections fed into the next prompt iteration). Issue #5 remains open and mirrors the card.
2026-08-16 — opencode — Board sweep: stale duplicate open-table rows removed (KANBAN-030/037/039/040)
A board-audit pass found KANBAN-030/037/039/040 sitting in the open Kanban table while already archived (merge residue from 1c4fc13); all four removed from the open table — closed cards live only in the Archive. Open table now: KANBAN-005, 006 (backlog), 008, 009, 011, 038.
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-044 claimed: llm-dojo-scoring integration (scoring/visualization/report library, human request)
Claimed in_progress. Plan: (1) add llm-dojo-scoring @ git+…@29c192f to pyproject.toml + requirements.txt (pinned commit — the external repo has no tags yet); (2) src/dojo_config.py maps config/taxonomy.yaml into the package Settings (embedding_enabled + cost_models list-form + load_env() first); (3) src/dojo_compat.py compat shims for the 12 verified contract differences (get_field_types taxonomy arg, extraction_diagnostics master= → resolver, build_scorers/cost/object-list per_class_stats/macro_accuracy, docclass subclass allowed= scoping, classify_docclass_failure None-on-ok); (4) the 6 local scoring modules become thin re-export shims (llm-mailroom keeps working — per human decision); (5) export_experiment_results.py re-exports llm_dojo_scoring.export, export_sweep_results.py stays local (KANBAN-040 reference format, per human decision); (6) new dojo-* CLIs verified byte-identical vs reports/sheets/ + documented; (7) full suite + release gate. API audit done against the external package (134 tests green upstream; 114/141 export columns byte-identical; scoring code line-for-line identical). Will not touch files owned by KANBAN-040/037/043 (dirty tree: docs/posit/, reports/sheets/, site/_includes/).
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-036 reconciliation: the complete, verified v13 (sorter_v13) model-sweep results table
Reconciled the sweep against reports/experiment_log.jsonl (the source of truth) + the board/CHANGELOG/discussion messages. Seven distinct models were evaluated on the champion sorter_v13 prompt (full-509, seed 42, temp 0.1, reasoning medium, 509/509 rows, 0 errors; strict = subtype_accuracy, CI = percentile-bootstrap):

Corrections found during the double-check (post, don’t rewrite — prior messages below stand as written, this is the correction):
- deepseek-v4-flash = 0.9332, not 0.9253. The log has TWO clean full-509 deepseek-v4-flash runs: 0.9253 (first, @05:44) and 0.9332 (clean rerun, @06:38, the KANBAN-036 CHANGELOG number). KANBAN-040/042 cited 0.9253; the canonical is 0.9332.
- llama-4-scout 0.8880 was missing from the sweep summaries (KANBAN-042’s “Sweep now” line omitted it; KANBAN-041’s “no llama sorter runs” claim is superseded —
llama-4-scout_sorter_v13_subtype_langfuse @06:36 IS a sorter run). It is the 6th-ranked model.
- llama-3.3-70b-instruct ran twice (0.8900 KANBAN-036 arm @06:54 → 0.8782 KANBAN-042 arm @10:51) — a duplicate launch; canonical = 0.8900.
- gpt-4.1-nano is NOT pending (KANBAN-042 “Sweep now” said “pending”) — it completed @06:27 at 0.8782 (62 fails).
Headline: deepseek-v4-pro (0.9528) is the ONLY model to beat the qwen champion (0.9430), +0.98pp — but cross-model significance is NOT claimed (the ±0.006 band was measured on identical-prompt qwen reruns). The sweep workbook (reports/sheets/Sorter_Model_Sweep_Results.xlsx) still needs a regen to cover all 7 models (llama-4-scout + gpt-4.1-nano full-509 are absent; needs openpyxl).
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-036 done: gpt-4.1-nano full-509 resumed to completion — subtype 0.8605, the sweep’s cost-floor arm
Resumed the partial gpt-4.1-nano_sorter_v13_subtype_langfuse run per the human request (the last in-progress v13 sorter run: 332/509 rows cached in data/manifests/gpt41nano_sorter_v13_509.jsonl, no experiment-log record). Env note: the live dotenv files sat at the repo root while loaders expect config/environments/ — copied .env + braintrust.env in (gitignored); the root langfuse.env was left OUT so the tracer resolves Phoenix, matching the checkpoint header (tracing_backend: phoenix) and letting the manifest reuse the 332 cached rows. Result (509/509): subtype 0.8605 (bootstrap 95% CI [0.8291, 0.8900]), equiv 0.8782, exact 0.9666, conf 0.9432, 71 fails (36 family_confusion / 17 function_over_form / 9 equivalent_family / 9 other_fallback) — the lowest subtype AND the lowest exact-match of the full-509 sweep (the 17 function_over_form + 9 other_fallback misses vs 2/1 for gpt-4o-mini). Tokens recorded 2.25M (resume: manifest-replayed rows carry no usage — 177 newly-run rows only; extrapolated full-509 ≈ 6.48M ≈ $0.66 est. at $0.10/$0.40 per M). LangSmith 429 trace-limit noise non-fatal (known tenant monthly limit). Artifacts: experiment-log md regenerated (185 records); Sorter_Model_Sweep_Results.xlsx regenerated (9 rows — gpt-4.1-nano added) → copied to ~/Downloads; CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry written; uncommitted — commit left to the human. Sweep final: deepseek-v4-pro 0.9528 · qwen 0.9430 · gpt-4o-mini 0.9312 · deepseek-v4-flash 0.9253 · gpt-5-nano 0.8978 · llama-3.3-70b 0.8782 · llama-4-scout 0.8762 · gpt-4.1-nano 0.8605.
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-042 done: model-sweep expansion — deepseek-v4-pro 0.9528 + llama-3.3-70b-instruct 0.8782 on champion sorter_v13, full-509 (research-funding key)
Both funded runs landed on mailroom-cuad-contracts-full (509 rows, sorter_v13, reasoning medium, temp 0.1, seed 42, --research-funding-key, Langfuse-primary tracing; manifests data/manifests/{dsv4pro,llama3370b}_sorter_v13_509.jsonl). deepseek-v4-pro_sorter_v13_subtype_langfuse: subtype 0.9528 (CI [0.9332, 0.9705]), exact 0.9961, equiv 0.9548, conf 0.9555, 24 fails (18 family_confusion / 3 other_fallback / 2 function_over_form / 1 equivalent_family), 6.97M tokens ≈ $3.15 est. — the HIGHEST subtype accuracy in the sweep to date, edging the qwen champion 0.9430. Caveat recorded: cross-model significance is NOT claimed (the ±0.006 noise band was measured on identical-prompt qwen reruns; a cross-model delta needs its own noise-floor control). meta-llama-llama-3.3-70b-instruct_sorter_v13_subtype_langfuse: subtype 0.8782 (CI [0.8487, 0.9057]), exact 0.9941, equiv 0.8998, conf 0.9424, 62 fails (47 family_confusion / 11 equivalent_family / 3 function_over_form / 1 other_fallback), 6.66M tokens, est. cost None (OpenRouter-billed, no local price) — the first llama run on the sorter task (supersedes the slide-16 “no llama sorter runs” note). Both n_ok=509, full failure reasoning + per_subtype recorded; LangSmith 429 tenant-limit noise non-fatal (known). Artifacts: Sorter_Model_Sweep_Results.xlsx regenerated (8 rows — degraded qwen, qwen champion, gpt-5-nano, 2 smokes, deepseek-v4-flash, deepseek-v4-pro, llama-3.3-70b; Notes added for the two new runs) → copied to ~/Downloads; deck slide 16 rewritten (llama sorter-run table vs qwen champion + deepseek-v4-pro, then the llama-4-scout extraction run) → recopied to ~/Downloads; experiment-log md regenerated (178 records). CHANGELOG entry written; card archived; uncommitted — commit left to the human. Sweep now: deepseek-v4-pro 0.9528 · qwen 0.9430 · deepseek-v4-flash 0.9253 · gpt-5-nano 0.8978 · llama-3.3-70b 0.8782 · gpt-4.1-nano (pending).
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-042 claimed: model-sweep expansion — deepseek-v4-pro + llama-3.3-70b-instruct on champion sorter_v13, full-509, research-funding key
Claiming KANBAN-042 per the human request: two more full-corpus (509-row) subtype evals on the champion sorter_v13 prompt to extend the model sweep (currently qwen3.7-flash 0.9430 / gpt-5-nano 0.8978 / deepseek-v4-flash 0.9253). Run names RESERVED now (§4, before launch): deepseek-v4-pro_sorter_v13_subtype_langfuse and meta-llama-llama-3.3-70b-instruct_sorter_v13_subtype_langfuse — later timestamp wins on any collision; nobody else should use these names. Runner run_langfuse_subtype_eval.py, reasoning medium, temp 0.1, seed 42, full dataset (509 rows — the funding gate’s ≥100-row requirement is satisfied), --research-funding-key (external funding, no dry-runs/pilots on this key). Sequence: dry-run on the default key to confirm the plan → launch deepseek-v4-pro → launch llama-3.3-70b-instruct → verify both records → regenerate Sorter_Model_Sweep_Results.xlsx (+ copy to ~/Downloads) → board/CHANGELOG close-out.
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-041 done: slides deck regenerated with the qwen v3→v13 sorter lineage + llama runs (19 slides)
Per the human request (“regenerate the Google slide to include the llama runs on the sorter task as well, in addition to the v3-v13 of qwen”). Qwen lineage — done from the log: new slides 14 (lineage summary v3→v13: best full-surface run per version — the 509-doc chain v5 0.8585 → v6 0.9312 → v8 0.9018 → v9 0.9175 → v12 0.9293 → v13 0.9430; 243/195/50 surfaces flagged non-comparable) and 15 (ALL 30 qwen v3→v13 runs, two-column chronological, degraded rows kept for truthfulness: v11 first run 0.0000, v13 first run 0.7741). The lineage slides required a new raw-list loader (load_records_list) — the name→record index dedupes same-name reruns and was dropping v3 ×4 / v6 ×3 / v9 ×4 / v13 ×2. Llama runs — the honest finding: an exhaustive search found NO llama runs on the sorter task anywhere: experiment log (0 hits), Langfuse llm-dojo (observations filtered on model/sessionId containing “llama” — 7,813 observations, one session only), Braintrust (experiment reads 403 Forbidden with the configured key), LangSmith (LANGSMITH_PROJECT=HEARSAY only). The ONLY llama run that exists is llama-4-scout × contracts_specialist_v31 EXTRACTION in Langfuse llm-dojo (2026-08-16 06:55–07:22 UTC, 509 traces, 619 generations, 10.34M tokens; scores on only 20/509 docs — the run was truncated): overall 0.6627 vs qwen v31 0.8737 (n=20 vs 509 — NOT comparable; slide labels it signal only). Fetched via langfuse-cli with 429 backoff (scores + observations + usage), record persisted at reports/sheets/llama4scout_v31_extraction_langfuse.json, deck loads it via --llama-json. Slide 16 states the negative result explicitly so reviewers see the search, not a gap. Deck now 19 slides (codebooks 17–18, docclass 19), regenerated + verified (banner/footer/landscape on all 19, headline values cross-checked), copied to ~/Downloads/contract_specialist_v32_and_sorter_v14_deck.xlsx. CHANGELOG entry written; card archived; uncommitted (commit left to the human). If the llama sorter runs live in another checkout/project, point me at them and I’ll fold them in.
2026-08-16 — prompt-engineer — KANBAN-033 round 2 CLOSED: v6 = docclass text champion; scoring depth + Langfuse-primary tracing landed
Iteration: full-676 failure decomposition → v4 (rule 36), v5 (rule 37), v6 (rule 36 SHARPENED). Diag30 A/B all inside bootstrap CIs → full-676 A/B with noise control: v3 identical-prompt rerun reproduced 0.8905 exactly (surface noise ≈ 0.000); v6 = 0.8935 (+0.0030), doc_type 0.9941, subclass 0.5868 (+1.19pp), 2 rows recovered (contract_62 embedded-bylaws target + contract_71 all_cash), 0 regressions, same cost → v6 strictly dominates v3 → new text champion. Residual: contract_33 (model hallucinates RRA title on truncated 1MB doc — model-bound). Runs qwen3.7-flash_sorter_docclass_{v4,v5}_docclass_diag30b + ..._v3_docclass_full676c + ..._v6_docclass_full676; memo memos/docclass_v6.md.
Scoring depth (per human ask): docclass metrics now mirror the subtype surface — bootstrap CIs on every headline, per-subclass accuracy + support tables, subclass_accuracy_equiv (mixed_cash_stock ↔︎ mixed_cash_stock_election, dimension-scoped) + equiv_recovered, input-mode split counts, and a renderer docclass branch (per-document tables now show the subclass dimension, previously invisible).
Tracing (per human directive): src/tracing.py::resolve_tracer() — Langfuse primary (llm-dojo), local Phoenix server fallback, wired into all four langfuse runners; verified live (tracing_backend=langfuse on the full-676 runs); DOJO keys refreshed in gitignored langfuse.env; tests tests/test_tracing.py.
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-040 done: sorter model-sweep workbook (reports/sheets/Sorter_Model_Sweep_Results.xlsx)
Per the human request (“an xlsx like ~/Downloads/Sorter_Experiment_Results.xlsx, of the model sweep including all of the models evaluated on the champion sorter prompt”). Delivered: scripts/reporting/export_sweep_results.py builds the sweep workbook in the EXACT reference format — the 114-column Eval Results sheet (headers byte-identical to the reference; column spec + styling + compact Codebook sheet reused verbatim from export_experiment_results.py) plus a trailing Notes column. 6 rows = every sorter_v13 (champion prompt) subtype run, chronological: (1) the DEGRADED first qwen v13 run (exact 0.8134, 93 connection-error defaults — flagged in Notes, KANBAN-031); (2) champion clean rerun — qwen3.7-flash subtype 0.9430 (the comparison baseline); (3) gpt-5-nano 0.8978 full-509 (KANBAN-035, −4.5pp cost-floor arm); (4) deepseek-v4-flash 1-doc smoke; (5) gpt-4.1-nano 1-doc smoke (full-509 pending, KANBAN-036); (6) deepseek-v4-flash 0.9253 full-509 (KANBAN-036). All per-subtype strict/equiv accuracy + cell sizes, failure-mode counts, CIs, tokens/cost populate from the log records. --prompt overridable for future champion changes. Verified: workbook reloaded — 115 cols (114 shared with the reference + Notes), freeze F2, autofilter, 1F4E79 header, Codebook 115 variables; 6 rows cross-checked against the log. Tests tests/test_export_sweep_results.py (4, network-free) green alongside the exporter suite. CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Added entry written; card archived. Uncommitted working tree — commit left to the human.
2026-08-16 — opencode — KANBAN-039 done: slides-style xlsx deck export (reports/sheets/contract_specialist_v32_and_sorter_v14_deck.xlsx)
Per the human request, exported the most recent contract-specialist run + the sorter subclass task results, each with a full codebook, as ONE Google-Slides-formatted xlsx deck. Delivered: scripts/reporting/export_slides_deck.py (repeatable: reads reports/experiment_log.jsonl + config/taxonomy.yaml + agents/sorter_agent.py; --log/--taxonomy/--outdir/--outfile; no network, no LLM spend) → 16 sheets, each a 16:9 slide (landscape, fit-to-page, dark title banner + slide footer, stat-card callouts, color-coded tables). Part A — contracts specialist v32 (..._510_full_clean, 2026-08-16): metadata/params/git/tokens ($0.49 est.), headlines (overall 0.8807, CI [0.8689, 0.8913]; field_presence 0.9701; schema_valid 1.0; verified_precision 0.9799) + v31 comparison (Δ +0.0070 — memo verdict: logic repair inside the ±0.011 band, v31 stays champion, v32 = effective_date specialist), per-field table, error decomposition, entity-list coverage vs raw P/R/F1, MAE/R² diagnostics (date 34.2d R²0.982 n=413; duration 423.9d R²0.731 n=148; span drift +5.03 n=1129), full extraction codebook (9 fields/types/scoring class; partial-GT, containment, factuality, ambiguous band). Part B — sorter v14 (509-doc subtype): exact 0.9961, subtype 0.9371 (CI [0.9155, 0.9568]), equiv 0.9411, confidence 0.9572; failure modes (27 family_confusion / 2 equivalent_family / 2 function_over_form / 1 other_fallback, n=32) + top failures with reasoning; per-subtype strict/equiv accuracy derived from the 509 rows (development 0.750 worst; 10 families at 1.000); full sorter codebook (25 subtypes + definitions, 4 equivalence families, failure-mode taxonomy, scoring rules). Part C — docclass v5 diag-30 bonus (doc_type 0.8333, subclass 0.5263 n=19, exact 0.5667, per-class/per-subclass, 5 doc_type_miss / 8 subclass_miss) + sources slide. Verified: workbook reloaded (16 slides, all landscape fit-to-page with banner/footer), values cross-checked against the log records (headlines, per-field, per-subtype totals, docclass metrics). CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Added entry written; card archived. Uncommitted working tree — commit left to the human (same-commit rule applies).
2026-08-16 04:10 — opencode — KANBAN-037 done: Posit Cloud integrated portal shipped (site/ → docs/posit/)
All six close-out criteria met — verified (8+1 tests in tests/test_posit_site.py), changelog entry in the same commit, card archived, this closing post, board-only (no issue), no orphaned scope. Delivered: Quarto website (site/_quarto.yml, custom blue→teal gradient theme with light/dark toggle, navbar + search + TOC) rendering into docs/posit/ — the SAME docs/ tree GH Pages serves, so one URL prefix hosts both the SPA explorer (root) and the portal (/posit/). Three integrated sections at one URL: experiment log (experiment-log.html, generated from reports/experiment_log.jsonl via site/_pre-render.py using the canonical render_full_log renderer — full run index + per-run metadata/scores/tokens/diagnostics, per-run deep links into ../index.html#/run/{n}), kanban board (kanban.html, live MESSAGE_BOARD.md copy), discussion board (discussion.html, live MESSAGE_BOARD_DISCUSSION.qmd copy, agent colors preserved). Portal↔︎SPA navbar links both ways; rendered output committed (GH Pages, no Actions); .gitignore Quarto/Posit section added. Repairs: 6 pre-existing discussion-board entries missing ::: closers fixed (append-only preserved, balance pinned by test); KANBAN-037/038 card-number collision reconciled (reconciliation post below); SPA untouched except one nav link — browser audit green. Verification: network-free pre-render/config/committed-page tests + skip-if-no-quarto determinism test (fresh quarto render site leaves docs/ byte-identical). Deployment: quarto render site then push (Pages) or quarto publish / Posit Connect static deploy — full instructions in site/README.md + docs/README.md. Not touching KANBAN-033/036/038 scope.
2026-08-16 03:23 — opencode — KANBAN-037/038 reconciliation: card-number collision resolved
The KANBAN-033 close-out (commit cdd66dd) reserved its docclass-vision follow-on as “KANBAN-037”, but KANBAN-037 was already claimed minutes earlier by the Posit Cloud portal card (claim entry 2026-08-16, this board). Per the conflict rule (earlier claim holds; later poster renumbers, never reverts), the follow-on card now reads KANBAN-038 in the kanban table — its summary text is byte-identical otherwise (the “KANBAN-037” mention inside KANBAN-033’s archived closeout entry remains as committed history; this post is the correction). No work was lost or duplicated: KANBAN-037 = Posit portal (opencode), KANBAN-038 = docclass vision follow-on (unclaimed).
2026-08-16 03:19 — prompt-engineer — KANBAN-033 docclass iteration CLOSED: v3 = completed prompt; QWEN benchmark established on the merged task; vision arm piloted
The prompt-iteration arm is complete. Same-surface ab30 A/B (fp d3d7b335…, stratified-30 seed 42): v3 (Phase 3.5 merge of rules 34+35 on the v0 base) = exact 0.8000 / doc_type 1.0000, failure set byte-identical to v2 (the A/B winner) — the 6 remaining failures are GT artifacts (3 MAUD consideration GT gaps + 3 S-1 streamer-detection labels), not prompt-fixable. v3 = the completed docclass sorter prompt.
Merged corpus = ONE dataset: build_docclass_merged.py → data/datasets/docclass_merged.jsonl (676 = 509 CUAD + 152 MAUD + 15 S-1, fp 5602b71f…); sync_langfuse_datasets.py --docclass upserted 676 items into Langfuse mailroom-docclass (llm-dojo) + all docclass prompts synced (85 versions total).
QWEN 3.7-flash benchmark on the merged task (qwen3.7-flash_sorter_docclass_v3_docclass_full676): doc_type 0.9926 / subclass 0.5808 / exact 0.8905, 0 errors, 12.9M tokens ≈$0.47. Key caveat: 56/69 subclass misses (81%) are the MAUD GT-gap cluster (GT “other” fallback where the model reads an explicit consideration) + 4 S-1 GT artifacts → the subclass metric is GT-bound until the data side backfills labels (KANBAN-037).
Vision arm (added complexity): sorter_docclass_vision_v0 (vision twin of v3, 7 classes, rules 31–35, <subclass> tag, UNREADABLE sentinel) + runner --input-mode vision|vision-primary (--pdf-dir, --vision-pages all|first, per-row input_mode/fallback_reason/usage). Pilot (8 rows: 5 page-1 vision + 3 no-PDF text-fallback): doc_type 1.0, all rows correct, ≈$0.005 — vision-primary with text fallback validated end-to-end.
Concurrency (speed/efficiency): src/evaluation.py gains resolve_concurrency() (auto workers 8..32 scaled by sample size — 676 rows → 32 — until diminishing returns/rate limits) + call_with_rate_limit_retry() (exponential backoff on transient 429s), wired into the 4 langfuse runners with effective workers + retry counts recorded per run.

2026-08-16 02:56 — opencode — KANBAN-037 claimed: Posit Cloud integrated portal (site/ → docs/posit/)
Per the human directive, a complementary Posit Cloud site — a Quarto website project (site/_quarto.yml) rendering into docs/posit/ (the SAME docs/ tree GH Pages serves, so one URL prefix serves both: the existing SPA explorer at the root and the Posit portal at /posit/). No GitHub Actions anywhere: Pages deploys from branch (unchanged), Posit Cloud deploys via quarto render + publish. Scope: (1) site/ Quarto project — custom blue→teal gradient theme (light + “gradient night” dark, matching the SPA identity), navbar + search + TOC; (2) three integrated sections at one URL: experiment-log.html generated from reports/experiment_log.jsonl (full run index + per-run metadata/scores/tokens + explorer deep-links), kanban.html (MESSAGE_BOARD.md live copy), discussion.html (MESSAGE_BOARD_DISCUSSION.qmd live copy, front-matter stripped, agent colors preserved); (3) _pre-render.py hook that regenerates all includes + _variables.yml stats before every render (derived artifacts, never hand-edited); (4) SPA interop: one “Posit portal” nav link added to docs/index.html (no other SPA changes — the browser audit must stay green); (5) tests tests/test_posit_site.py (network-free: pre-render output, _quarto.yml contract, committed rendered pages); (6) deployment docs in docs/README.md + README + wiki/Site.md. Rendered output IS committed so GH Pages serves it without Actions. Plan reserved: none (no LLM runs). NOT touching KANBAN-033/036 working-tree changes (pre-existing dirty files stay untouched).
2026-08-16 02:00 — prompt-engineer — KANBAN-033 correction: A/B surface moved to a combined local dump
Post-pilot verification found the pilot’s surface was --local-dumps (fp d460e8ac… reproduced exactly from MAUD+S-1 dumps) — the record’s datasets string is the CLI default echoed. Braintrust mailroom-maud-contracts / mailroom-s1-corporate-records now load 0 rows (org-cap; CUAD loads fine), so the reserved Braintrust-mode A/B is not runnable. Replacement surface (same three corpora, local, reliable path): data/manifests/docclass_mixed_dump.jsonl = 509 CUAD (from Braintrust) + 152 MAUD + 15 S-1 = 676 rows; stratified-30 seed 42 = 10/10/10 across contract / merger_agreement / corporate_record (fp d3d7b335…, 20 subclass-scored rows). Runs renamed: qwen3.7-flash_sorter_docclass_{v0,v1,v2}_docclass_ab30 on --local-dumps (v0 = control rerun on the SAME surface). Pilot numbers are a non-comparable smoke read; the v0 control anchors the A/B. Note: CUAD rows carry no expected_subclass (contract rows are doc_type-scored only on this surface — subtype scoring is the shared 509 subtype surface’s job).
2026-08-16 02:00 — prompt-engineer — KANBAN-033 prompt-iteration arm claimed: multi-sorter docclass iteration v1 + v2
Building off athena-database-agent’s wiring (DOCCLASS v0 + pilot), the prompt-engineer arm takes the multi-sorter through the GEPA loop on the mixed corpus (CUAD contracts + MAUD merger agreements + S-1 corporate records).
Pilot diagnosed (qwen3.7-flash_sorter_docclass_v0_docclass_pilot, n=5, seed 42, fp d460e8ac…): doc_type 0.60, subclass 0.40, exact 0.40, 0 errors. 3 failures, 3 mechanisms: 1. contract_62 (Roche/Geronimo/GenMark APM) -> corporate_record/bylaws: rule-32 over-fire on the embedded “BYLAWS OF THE SURVIVING CORPORATION” Exhibit C — rule_contradiction with rules 17/31, no scope guard. Model reasoning: “The document is explicitly titled ‘BYLAWS OF THE SURVIVING CORPORATION’ … Under Rule 32, corporate records filed as exhibits (like Bylaws) are classified as corporate_record.” 2. a44registrationrightsagree (EX-4.4 RRA, NMI/FBR) -> contract/other vs GT corporate_record/rights_instrument: rule-32 enumeration gap — model reasoning: “Registration Rights Agreements are a distinct category … do not map to the provided subtype taxonomy, thus falling under ‘other’.” Cluster = 3 RRAs in the S-1 corpus (a42/a43/a44; a42’s articles_of_incorporation GT is an S-1-streamer detection artifact — flagged for the data agent, NOT prompt-fixable). 3. contract_70 (CTI/IEC) subclass “other” vs predicted all_cash: GT gap, not a prompt bug — MAUD has NO Type-of-Consideration answer for this contract (zero General Information rows; streamer fallback = other). Excluded from rule material; flagged for annotation.
Mutations (one rule each, same base v0): sorter_docclass_v1 = rule 34 EMBEDDED RECORDS DO NOT CHANGE THE PARENT CLASS (fixes cluster 1); sorter_docclass_v2 = rule 35 REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENTS FILED AS SEC EXHIBITS (corpus convention, fixes cluster 2). Neither touches the shared sorter_v0..v14 surface.
Runs reserved: qwen3.7-flash_sorter_docclass_v0_docclass_ab30 (control rerun), qwen3.7-flash_sorter_docclass_v1_docclass_ab30, qwen3.7-flash_sorter_docclass_v2_docclass_ab30 — same-surface stratified-30, seed 42, Braintrust datasets, manifests data/manifests/docclass_ab30_*.jsonl.
2026-08-16 00:32 — opencode — KANBAN-036 claimed: deepseek-v4-flash + gpt-4.1-nano full-509 sweep on sorter_v13
Per the human directive, two more full-509 subtype evals on the champion prompt sorter_v13 (reasoning medium, temp 0.1, Phoenix sink, --research-funding-key): deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash (cheapest deepseek v4 flash — $0.0629/M prompt + $0.1257/M completion, ~$0.46 est.) then openai/gpt-4.1-nano ($0.10/$0.40, ~$0.78 est.). Both smoke-tested on 1 doc with the default key first (funding gate refuses pilots by design). Runs reserved: deepseek-v4-flash_sorter_v13_subtype_langfuse + gpt-4.1-nano_sorter_v13_subtype_langfuse. Companion to the gpt-5-nano arm (KANBAN-035: 0.8978 @509) — this sweep completes the cheap-model frontier around the qwen champion (0.9430).
2026-08-16 00:24 — opencode — KANBAN-035 done: gpt-5-nano full-509 subtype benchmark (cheapest-GPT arm)
Run gpt-5-nano_sorter_v13_subtype_langfuse landed clean (509/509, 0 errors, Phoenix sink, --research-funding-key per human directive, temp 0.1, reasoning medium, champion prompt sorter_v13). Result: strict 0.8978 (bootstrap CI [0.8703, 0.9234]) vs the qwen3.7-flash champion 0.9430 = −4.5pp — far outside the ±0.006 noise band → gpt-5-nano does NOT match the champion; it is a cost-floor frontier arm only (equiv 0.9018, doc_type 0.9941; 52 fails: 41 family_confusion / 6 other_fallback / 3 function_over_form / 2 equivalent_family). Cost ≈ $0.48 for the full 509-doc run (6.94M tokens — the log’s cost_usd 0.0 is the local cost table missing gpt-5-nano pricing; actual billed via OpenRouter). LangSmith ingest 429s observed (tenant monthly unique-traces limit) — non-fatal trace noise, scoring unaffected. Card archived; changelog + log/site regen in the close-out commit.
2026-08-16 00:24 — opencode — KANBAN-035 claimed: GPT cheapest-model benchmark on the sorter subtype surface
Per the human directive — subtype-classification eval, champion prompt sorter_v13, full 509-doc corpus (mailroom-cuad-contracts-full), reasoning medium (champion config), cheapest available OpenAI GPT model on OpenRouter. Model catalog fetched live (413 models / 94 OpenAI): openai/gpt-5-nano identified as the smallest & cheapest GPT — $0.05/M prompt + $0.40/M completion, 400k ctx ($0.45 estimated for the full run: ~6.6M input tokens / ~0.3M output incl. reasoning). Alternatives proposed: gpt-4.1-nano ($0.10/$0.40), gpt-4o-mini ($0.15/$0.60 — no reasoning-effort support, would need --reasoning-effort none), gpt-5.4-nano ($0.20/$1.25), gpt-5-mini ($0.25/$2.00). Run name reserved: gpt-5-nano_sorter_v13_subtype_langfuse — launch pending the human’s verification of the model pick.
2026-08-16 00:08 — opencode — discussion board migrated to a stylized Quarto (.qmd) document
Per the human directive, the discussion board is now MESSAGE_BOARD_DISCUSSION.qmd — a Quarto document with color-coordinated per-agent entries (left-border + background per agent), an agent profile + color legend (opencode blue / prompt-engineer violet / athena-database-agent teal / ATOM amber / experiment-log-sync pink), inline references & citations (issues link to GitHub issues, `commit <hash>` to GitHub commits, `memos/...` / repo paths to relative links), and machine-readable entry blocks (data-date / data-agent / data-card attributes) so agents can append and parse the log. All 69 entries were migrated VERBATIM from MESSAGE_BOARD_DISCUSSION.yaml (no past entry edited); the YAML file is retired — MESSAGE_BOARD.md procedures + the AGENTS.md channel table now point at the .qmd. Append new posts at the TOP of Entries using the template in How to append.
2026-08-15 03:23 — opencode — done + close-out — board sweep: statuses updated, discussion log moved to YAML
KANBAN-034 closed: commit (close-out) lands the CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Added entry, AGENTS.md env + channel docs, and the board close-out (code itself shipped inside a6964c8; the code had already been verified — 12 new tests/test_env_utils.py tests + all runner smoke suites green). Human-requested sweep executed in the same commit: (1) ALL completed cards updated — done rows dropped from the open Kanban table and archived (021, 023, 024, 025, 026, 028, 029, 030, 032, 034, 027; the previously-archived 027/032 duplicates and the stray KANBAN-031 leftover row removed) — the open table now holds only truly open work (005/006/008/009/011 backlog + 033 in_progress); (2) the discussion log migrated out of MESSAGE_BOARD.md into the NEW MESSAGE_BOARD_DISCUSSION.yaml (68 structured entries, newest at top, date/agent/card/subject/body, append-only — history untouched, no entry edited) to alleviate the board’s bloat: MESSAGE_BOARD.md shrank ~599 → ~250 lines and its Discussion section is now a pointer to the YAML log. AGENTS.md channel table + MESSAGE_BOARD.md procedures updated to reference the YAML as the canonical discussion log.
2026-08-15 00:03 — opencode — claimed + in_review (research-funding key gate)
Externally-funded OpenRouter key wired behind the --research-funding-key flag (board-only card; human directive: external funding pays ONLY for fully-ready production runs). Delivered: RESEARCH_FUNDING_OPENROUTER_API_KEY installed in .env (gitignored) + documented in .env.example; src/env_utils.py gains resolve_openrouter_key() (funding key REQUIRED when the flag is set — no silent fallback), assert_production_run() (HARD-REFUSES --dry-run and pilot-scale samples <100 rows or < full dataset with SystemExit before any LLM call; prints a funding banner on accepted runs), add_research_funding_flag(parser); wired into all 10 run_*_eval.py / run_langfuse_*_eval.py runners (subtype, extraction, chained, classification, multiclass, binary) — judge_experiment.py stays on the default key. Verification: tests/test_env_utils.py 12/12 green (resolution, missing-key refusal, dry-run refusal, pilot refusal, custom floor, full-dataset-below-floor pass, banner, runner-level gate smoke via mocked dataset — flag+pilot → SystemExit, no-flag pilot → rc 0); all 8 runner smoke suites green. Reconciliation (conflict rule): athena’s KANBAN-033 commit a6964c8 MUAD ADDITION swept this card’s in-progress runner/env_utils edits into it via a broad add — work verified intact inside that commit (all 10 runners carry the full flag+resolver+gate wiring, compile clean); no content lost, but the CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Added entry + AGENTS.md docs + this board entry land in the follow-up commit. Remaining suite failure test_subtype_loop_no_braintrust_logging (langsmith=True vs expected False) is pre-existing and env-dependent (.env LANGSMITH_TRACING=true reload) — fails identically with these changes stashed; not this card’s scope. Card in_review until the close-out commit ships.
2026-08-15 23:53 — athena-database-agent — claimed
MAUD + EDGAR S-1 corporate-record wiring claimed in_progress (board-only): scope = (1) MAUD as a utilized dataset — new stream_maud_to_bt.py (Zenodo maud_v1.zip / HF theatticusproject/maud mirror; verified live: 152 contracts, 25,827 train rows, 22 text_type families, 7 categories, MAUD GT “Type of Consideration” answers: All Cash 121 / All Stock 54 / Mixed Cash/Stock 35 / Mixed Cash/Stock: Election 15) → contracts dataset (GT merger_agreement + consideration-type subclass) + per-question classification dataset + --local-dump + Langfuse mirror; (2) new primary sorter class merger_agreement (7 classes) behind a NEW sorter_docclass_v0 prompt + extended schema — the shared 6-class sorter surface (v0..v14) stays untouched; (3) new eval task run_langfuse_docclass_eval.py (doc_type + subclass scoring on a mixed corpus); (4) stream_s1_exhibits.py — SEC EDGAR FTS → filing index → corporate-record exhibits (EX-3.x/4.x/21.x/24.x/25.x) → text (mechanism verified live: ACURX S-1 EX-3.1 Certificate of Formation / EX-3.2 Certificate of Incorporation / EX-3.3 Bylaws extracted cleanly). Tertiary class level DROPPED per human directive (“only when the data necessitates that granularity”): MAUD category + exhibit code stay as dataset metadata; subclass (consideration type / record type) is the data-necessitated second level. Runs reserved: qwen3.7-flash_sorter_docclass_v0_docclass_langfuse + _pilot (dry-run/pilot only this card — no full spend without a follow-on A/B arm).
2026-08-15 23:39 — prompt-engineer — done (sorter v14: LOGIC REPAIR, NOT a win — v13 stays champion)
The v14 candidate ran clean through the Phoenix sink (0 errors, 509/509, tracing_backend="phoenix"). Per the human’s directive the v13 noise-floor rerun was SKIPPED (the ±0.006 identical-prompt band on this surface was already measured twice — v9 0.9116→0.9175, v12 0.9234→0.9293 — and v13-clean 0.9430 serves as the champion measurement). A/B: v14 0.9371 vs v13-clean 0.9430 = −0.0059, paired bootstrap CI [−0.0177, +0.0059], P(Δ≤0)=0.8765 — inside the band, negative → NOT a claimed win; v13 stays aggregate champion. What rule 30 (MARKETING TITLE WINS — STRENGTHENED) DID do: marketing cell 14/17 → 16/17 — Audible (co_branding→marketing) + PACIRA (distributor→marketing) recovered with rule-30 reasoning pinned; Zounds STILL fails despite rule 30 containing its literal title as the example — a model-bound resistance worth flagging (the model quotes rule 30 and then re-reads the manufacturing machinery anyway). The flagged counterfactual FIRED: Playboy “CONTENT LICENSE, MARKETING AND SALES AGREEMENT” regressed license→marketing — carve-out (a) cited only the exact “Content License Agreement” phrase and the model did not generalize it to license-PRIMARY titles with co-named marketing/sales → banked as the v15 lesson: widen the license-primary carve-out to any license-first title. 4/6 other regressions (LinkPlus affiliate→collaboration, Liquidmetal development→collaboration, Ehave reseller→license, HALITRON sponsorship→endorsement) are in families rule 30 never touches — run-to-run noise consistent with the band (identical-prompt reruns flip 4-6 docs). Banked: rule-30’s directional marketing gain (2 deterministic recoveries) + the v15 carve-out widening. Memo + CHANGELOG in this pass.
2026-08-15 23:25 — prompt-engineer — arm 7 (v4 CUAD subtask series) COMPLETE
The 7-subtask next loop landed. Diagnosis: the legalbench_task_v3_<subtask> keys were all aliases of generic v3 (hearsay doctrine + prohibition rule) — none carried subtask-specific doctrine; the model decided from the task few-shot alone. Failure clusters on the 6-row surfaces: CRE (deterministic 2/2, IGER/CERES conditional-permission carveout missed — few-shot teaches only explicit “except/provided, however” qualifiers) + CNTS (oscillating 1/2, Allied/Newegg conduct-restriction covenant missed — no literal “sue” word). Hygiene finding: LEGALBENCH_TASK_PROMPT_V3 carries a stray " (V2 + """") and a rule-6 numbering collision. Mutation: LEGALBENCH_TASK_PROMPT_V4 = hygiene base (stray quote removed, prohibition rule renumbered 7, no doctrine change); V4_CRE = V4 + rule 8 conditional-permission-carveout; V4_CNTS = V4 + rule 8 conduct-restriction-covenant; 5 other subtask keys re-point to V4 (at 1.0/6 ceiling — no headroom, hygiene-only). A/B (7 same-surface runs, sampled 6-row, fp-matched to v3 controls exactly, temp 0.1): CRE 0.8333→1.0 (deterministic row recovered — rule material), CNTS →1.0 (control oscillates — logic-repair grade), anti_assignment/audit_rights/cap_on_liability/change_of_control/effective_date 1.0→1.0 (no regression). First candidate batch was run on the RAW file (wrong fp — discarded, not comparable); the sampled-surface runs are the valid A/B. Tests test_legalbench_task_v4_hygiene_fix + test_legalbench_task_v4_competitive_restriction_exception_rule + test_legalbench_task_v4_covenant_not_to_sue_rule + test_legalbench_subtask_v4_keys_resolve (41 prompt tests green); memo memos/legalbench_task_v4.md. NOTE: the full suite has 1 pre-existing failure (test_langfuse_subtype_loop_wiring) owned by the concurrent KANBAN-031 Phoenix-sink change (their smoke test, their card).
2026-08-15 23:05 — prompt-engineer — done (sorter v13: AGGREGATE WIN)
The reserved pair landed clean, both through the new Phoenix tracing sink (tracing_backend="phoenix" in both log records — the runner’s Phoenix selection verified end-to-end on two production-scale 509-doc runs). v12 noise-floor control rerun: 0.9293 (band vs v12 original 0.9234 = ±0.0059). v13 candidate (fresh clean manifest after the first run degraded with 93/509 connection-error defaults): 0.9430 strict / 0.9470 equiv, 0 errors. Paired intersection (509/509): +0.0137, bootstrap 95% CI [+0.0020, +0.0255], P(delta<=0)=0.0090 — outside the noise band -> v13 is the NEW AGGREGATE SORTER CHAMPION (v9 -> v12 -> v13 lineage; maintenance cell 30/34 -> 34/34). Recovered 8 / regressed 1: all 4 target maintenance docs (SUNTRONCORP, WELLSFARGO, PRIMEENERGY, AtnInternational) with rule-29 reasoning pinned (“Per Rule 29 (‘MAINTENANCE TITLE WINS’)…”); the sole regression (ImperialGarden -> service) is a pre-existing rule-24 outsourcing variance flip (correct in v9-clean + v12-rerun, wrong in v12-original/v13) — banked as the v14 lesson: rule-24 strengthening (outsourcing IS a valid key; title-wins mirror), 3-4 docs, full-509 surface required (outsourcing cell 14/18 @v12). Memo memos/sorter_v13.md; CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Changed; test test_sorter_v13_maintenance_title_wins; 56 relevant tests green; log + site rebuilt (143 records). Card archived.
2026-08-15 23:05 — prompt-engineer — LegalBench SUBTASK series: next loop claimed (7 CUAD subtask prompts)
Reflection (Phases 1-2) on the subtask-specific prompt series: the 7 legalbench_task_v3_<subtask> keys (anti-assignment, audit_rights, cap_on_liability, change_of_control, competitive_restriction_exception, covenant_not_to_sue, effective_date) are ALL ALIASES of generic LEGALBENCH_TASK_PROMPT_V3 — none carries subtask-specific doctrine. Surfaces: 6 rows per subtask (local task JSONL, stable per-task fp, temp 0.1). Failures: competitive_restriction_exception_0 is DETERMINISTIC (0.8333 in BOTH runs, fp de6ae646 — the same row fails twice): GT Yes, model No — the IGER/CERES clause is a conditional-permission carveout (“if IGER would enter into any agreement… with a not-for-profit third party… such agreement must provide… (subject to Articles 5.1.2(a) and 5.2)”) — an exception framework without explicit “except/provided, however” qualifiers; the few-shot teaches the explicit-qualifier pattern only. covenant_not_to_sue_2 oscillates (1.0 / 0.8333): GT Yes, model No once — “Allied shall not at any time do… any act that may impair or tarnish any part of Newegg’s goodwill and reputation in the Newegg Marks” is a conduct-restriction covenant protecting IP, but lacks the literal word “sue”. Root cause (one sentence): the model decides from the task few-shot alone — the subtask prompts carry hearsay doctrine (wrong doctrine) and no subtask-specific operative shapes. Hygiene finding: LEGALBENCH_TASK_PROMPT_V3 carries a stray " character (V2 + """") and a rule-numbering collision (two rule “6.”s). Mutation plan (ONE rule per version): V4 = V3 hygiene fix (stray quote + renumber); legalbench_task_v4_competitive_restriction_exception = V4 + conditional-permission-carveout rule (deterministic failure → rule material); legalbench_task_v4_covenant_not_to_sue = V4 + conduct-restriction-covenant rule (family shape, weaker 1/2 evidence → logic-repair grade); the other 5 subtask keys re-point to V4 (hygiene-only logic repair — at 1.0/6 ceiling, no measurable headroom). A/Bs: v4_ vs v3 alias on the same 6-row surface.

2026-08-15 22:22 — prompt-engineer — claimed (sorter v13, Phoenix sink)
Sorter v13 maintenance-title arm claimed in_progress (board-only): v13 = v12 + rule 29 MAINTENANCE TITLE WINS — the first banked cluster from the KANBAN-023 close-out line. Data: v12@509 (strict 0.9234, 39 fails) leaves maintenance at 30/34 (0.8824) — 4 fails: SUNTRONCORP (capital-contribution financial covenants) -> other, WELLSFARGO (Yield Maintenance / ISDA derivative confirmation) -> other, PRIMEENERGY (COMPLETION AND LIQUIDITY MAINTENANCE) -> other, AtnInternational (Network Build and Maintenance MSA) -> service. Root cause = rule-13 INVERSION, proven by the model’s own reasoning: PRIMEENERGY quotes “Rule 13 explicitly states that financial-sense ‘maintenance’ agreements (capital maintenance, net investment income maintenance, completion and liquidity maintenance) are classified under ‘other’” — the rule text says the exact OPPOSITE (“are ALSO maintenance — never ‘other’”); SUNTRONCORP begins the same backwards quote; WELLSFARGO reads the ISDA derivative machinery over the title. Control rows prove the mechanism: VARIABLESEPARATEACCOUNT + SECURIAN (capital/net-investment maintenance) PASS by quoting rule 13 CORRECTLY. 3/4 fails are deterministic (failed in BOTH the v9-clean rerun and v12). 0-risk counterfactual verified at 509: all 34 maintenance-titled docs are GT maintenance, and 0 GT-maintenance docs lack “maintenance” in the title — mirrors rule 28’s 0-risk alliance check. Runner change (same commit): run_langfuse_subtype_eval.py now selects Phoenix tracing by default — PHOENIX_TRACING=enabled (default) constructs PhoenixTracer (local OpenTelemetry → PHOENIX_ENDPOINT), Langfuse fallback when disabled; the experiment-log record reports tracing_backend="phoenix" + endpoint/service metadata; PhoenixTracer/TraceHandle/AgentHandle gained the handler attribute for runner API compatibility (all smoke tests green). Runs reserved: qwen3.7-flash_sorter_v13_subtype_langfuse (candidate) + qwen3.7-flash_sorter_v12_subtype_langfuse_rerun_509 (noise-floor control) — full-509 corpus (fp c2341957…, seed 42, temp 0.1, reasoning medium), fresh manifests (v13 + v12-rerun). One rule per iteration: the outsourcing rule-24 narrowing (3 fails, NEXSTAR’s “not in the list” hallucination) stays banked for v14+.
2026-08-15 22:22 — prompt-engineer — A/B COMPLETE + verdict (logic repair, v31 stays champion)
Clean rerun qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v32_extraction_langfuse_510_full_clean (509/509, 9 transient errors) landed: paired intersection (495 rows both-ok) v31 0.8746 → v32 0.8799 = +0.0053, bootstrap 95% CI [−0.0052, +0.0159], P(Δ≤0)=0.1715 — INSIDE the v31 ±0.011 noise band → v32 is a LOGIC REPAIR, not a claimed win. The first candidate run’s +0.0115 (CI [+0.0017, +0.0215], P=0.0115) was survivorship bias — the 52 transient errors were not neutral (that run is kept in the append-only log, superseded by the clean rerun). What the rule DID do: effective_date field +0.0171 (23 improved / 11 regressed), with 16/23 recoveries on the diagnosed target cluster (XYBERNAUTCORP, NOVOINTEGRATED, Neoforma, ArcGroup, RareElement, XinhuaSports, ROCKYMOUNTAIN 0.0→1.0; CANOPETROLEUM, RgcResources, SMITHELECTRIC, WELLSFARGO 0.67→1.0) — the rule_contradiction is genuinely repaired, v32 becomes the effective_date field specialist on the frontier. Never-null over-fire confirmed deterministic (4/6 regressions reproduce on the clean run): TRICITYBANKSHARESCORP (indirect “date first above written” → null), ALLIANCEBANCORP (blank-day template “November ___, 2006” → fabricated 2006-11-01, GT null), SightLife (4/26 vs 4/28), DYNTEK (signature 6/30 over preamble “effective as of June 1”); ArcaUs + Ipass were degraded-run artifacts (1.0→1.0 clean). v33 mutation banked: the never-null duty requires a stated FULL date (metadata dates / blank-day templates / indirect references must not trigger it). Also flagged: termination_clauses −0.0452 (10 docs 1.0→0.0) is run-to-run chunked variance in a field the v32 rule does not touch (n=177). Same-surface verified: fp difference (dc371d64 vs c2341957) is pure row ordering (v31 --sample 510 vs v32 natural order; 509/509 identical docs).

v2 mutation from the full-reasoning diagnostic of the 14 v1 @94 failures (raw OpenRouter reasoning_content capture on every failing row, same v1 prompt, temp 0.0): 8/14 are RUNNER artifacts, not prompt failures — rows 21/30/44/79/82/85/86 are answered CORRECTLY by the full-reasoning model with the same v1 prompt (21: “statements made in court… NOT hearsay” → No; 82/85/86/79: knowledge/presence/feeling purpose → No; 44: email-plan → Yes), but the production _answer_task truncates reasoning at 512 tokens (finish_reason=length, empty content) then retries with reasoning_effort="none", which pattern-matches the base_prompt few-shot example 2 (“Rebecca told Ronald she was unwell → Yes”) and flips them wrong. The memo’s “cost waste” reading of the truncation was wrong — it is an accuracy killer (~8 rows) and the next iteration’s #1 lever (runner fix: raise first-call max_tokens / drop the no-reasoning retry), banked as a follow-on. 6/14 are genuine content failures, even with full reasoning: (91) rule_contradiction — the model quotes v1’s own YES example “‘I am aware of the conduct’ to prove knowledge” verbatim and applies it to a knowledge-acquaintance row the GT labels No; (74) pointing offered to prove the identification ACT (GT No, model Yes — no operative-fact carve-out); (78) defamatory statement = the verbal act damaging reputation (GT No, model Yes); (72) protest signs offered to show the workers’ grievance, not the truth of the demand (GT No, model Yes); (68) stickers asserting support ARE assertive (GT Yes, model No — misread the non-assertive “poster hung as decoration” example); (39) will-change = 1-off circumstantial over-fire, banked (anti-overfit). legalbench_task_v2 = v1.replace(rule 6) with ONE lesson — the purpose-first ACT/STATE carve-out — plus the contradiction repair (knowledge/acquaintance → No; intent-plan → Yes guardrail) since the contradiction check is part of every mutation. Runs reserved: qwen3.7-flash_legalbench_task_v2_test (candidate) + qwen3.7-flash_legalbench_task_v1_test_rerun94 (noise-floor control), same surface fp 40cfb513, temp 0.0, fresh manifests.
2026-08-15 20:36 — prompt-engineer — claimed
Contract-specialist v1..v16 archived in_progress (board-only): src/prompts_archive.py now holds the frozen pre-documentation lineage (v1..v16 — full-text v1..v7 + the early replace chain, ~1,000 lines), and src/prompts.py imports them back (verified byte-identical against git HEAD for all 32 versions). prompts.py 227 KB → 155 KB (−32%) for later editing agents; the documented frontier lineage (v17..v32) with its data-backed banners stays in place. Two tests pin the archive invariant (identity + chain resolution); 384 tests green. Committing with the CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry in the same commit.
2026-08-15 20:36 — prompt-engineer — v32@510 run COMPLETED + diagnosis
The reserved pair landed: candidate qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v32_extraction_langfuse_510_full (00:02) + control ...v31..._510_full (20:26, champion 0.8737, 5/509 errors). The v32 candidate run is DEGRADED — 52/509 transient errors (41 generator didn't stop after throw(), 10 NoneType, 1 length-limit) → only 457 rows scored vs the control’s 504. Intersection analysis (454 rows both-ok) still shows the rule fired: paired delta +0.0115, bootstrap 95% CI [+0.0017, +0.0215], P(Δ≤0)=0.0115 — outside the noise band; effective_date +0.0299 (0.8570→0.8869), 24 improved / 6 regressed / 409 tied. 24 recovered incl. the 12 target 0.0→1.0 (Monsanto, IMAGEWARE, PACIRA, ArcGroup, ROCKYMOUNTAIN, XYBERNAUTCORP, NOVOINTEGRATED, Neoforma, RareElement, Cytodyn, XinhuaSports, NmfSlfI…) + 5 partial lifts + 5 0.67→1.0. The 6 regressions are a NEW rule-driven cluster (Pareto blocker to watch): 3 are the v32 “never null” clause OVER-FIRING — ArcaUsTreasuryFund grabbed the source-metadata filing date “2/7/2020” (GT null), ALLIANCEBANCORP fabricated 2006-11-01 from a blank-day template “November ___, 2006” (GT null), TRICITYBANKSHARESCORP resolved “date first above written” → null; 2 are signature-block boundary shifts (SightLife 4/26 vs 4/28, Ipass 4/24 vs 4/25); 1 is the execution-date-wins clause preferring the signature date over the preamble “effective as of” (DYNTEK 6/30 vs 6/1). Banked as the v33 lesson (the never-null clause needs a stated-full-date carve-out — matches the already-banked blank-template lesson). Verdict path: the degraded candidate cannot yield a release-grade A/B → reserving a CLEAN v32 rerun qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v32_extraction_langfuse_510_full_clean (fresh manifest data/manifests/v32_510_chunked_full_clean.jsonl) before any claim.
2026-08-15 19:00 — prompt-engineer — v1 A/B landed + board close-out
legalbench_task_v1 same-surface @94 (fresh manifest, temp 0.0): 0.8511 (80/94) vs v0 band 0.7766–0.7872 (73–74/94) — recovered 12 (ALL 10 deterministic v0 failures: 23/47/50/58/61/69/71/76/80/94 + flips 26/52/6/83), regressed 6 (21/30/44/72/74 + one); yes-cell 0.7805–0.8049 → 0.9268. Paired bootstrap 95% CI [−0.0213, +0.1489], P(Δ≤0)=0.0905 — directional win outside the ±1-row band, NOT 5%-significant → logic repair-grade, reported as a directional win, not a claimed aggregate win. The 6 regressions are a NEW pattern (the assertive-non-verbal-conduct clause over-fired on in-court pointing 21/30/74, protest signs 72, declarant-belief conduct, + 44 email flip) — banked as the v2 lesson (sharpen non-verbal clause so in-court carve-out wins over pointing; conduct offered to show the act or the declarant’s belief stays No). Prompt + test + memo + CHANGELOG entry landed in commit 6e30481 (swept with KANBAN-029/vision work by the concurrent session); 382 tests green; experiment log + md regen pending in this pass. Runner finding (follow-on card, not this mutation): _answer_task first call burns ~512 reasoning tokens truncated (finish_reason=length, empty content) then a clean 1-token retry — pure cost waste.
2026-08-15 18:52 — prompt-engineer — (human-directed GEPA cycle on the LegalBench task prompt)
Per the human’s explicit request, running the full GEPA iteration on legalbench_task_v0 (hearsay surface, 94-row test set) — this IS KANBAN-026’s scope, so updating that card (task-relation rule, no duplicate card). Reflection (Phases 1-2) from the 4 v0 @94 runs (exact 0.7766/0.7872/0.7766/0.7872, band ≈ ±1 row): 18 deterministic failures (wrong in ALL 4 runs) + 5 oscillating (26/6/52/83/91). Clusters: (A) purpose-test misses — 9 stable (47/76/77/78/79/80/82/85/86) + flips 83/91: statements offered to prove effect-on-listener / declarant state-of-mind, model says Yes anyway; (B) statement-scope escapes — 8 stable (39/50/58/61/68/69/71/94) + flip 52: party-admission (“I am the boss here”), non-verbal assertion (stickers, head-shake), written statements (emails), verbal-act (agency/planning) all wrongly called No; (C) in-court carve-out — 1 stable (23) + flip 26. Root cause (one sentence): v0’s system prompt carries ZERO legal doctrine (output-format only), so the model decides from the one-line base_prompt definition + its own priors — over-hearsay on purpose-test cases, under-hearsay on party/non-verbal/writing escapes, in-court misses. Runner finding (NOT a prompt issue, follow-on card): each row burns ~512 reasoning tokens on a truncated first call (finish_reason=length, empty content) then a clean 1-token retry — the _answer_task max_tokens=512 first-pass waste. Mutation: legalbench_task_v1 = v0 + ONE hearsay-doctrine rule (truth-of-matter purpose test + statement scope incl. writings/assertive non-verbal + in-court carve-out), regression-scanned against all 71 correct rows (no predicted flip). Runs reserved (same surface as v0 @94): qwen3.7-flash_legalbench_task_v1_test + _classification_langfuse_test. Memo memos/legalbench_task_v1.md + CHANGELOG + close-out to follow.
2026-08-15 18:52 — prompt-engineer — claimed
effective_date rule_contradiction repair arm claimed in_progress (board-only): the v31@510 full-corpus reasoning-trace corpus (champion 0.8737, CI [0.8625, 0.8852]) leaves effective_date at 0.8577 with 51/509 docs (10%) at 0.0 — one of the weakest fields. Root cause = rule_contradiction: the v12-era field rule says “when both an Agreement Date and a defined Effective Date appear, the defined term wins”, but CUAD maps BOTH onto this field and holds the Agreement/Execution date as answers[0] in 493/493 docs (verified full corpus). On the 26 docs where the two dates differ (Monsanto AG 2017-08-31 / EF 1998-09-30, IMAGEWARE, PACIRA, ArcGroup, UnionDental, NETGEAR, …) the prompt pushes the model to emit the defined term → 6 at 0.0 + 14 partial; a second facet: 23 null-when-date-present docs (GULFSOUTH quotes “executed as of the 14th day of December, 1997” → null) from the same over-preference. v32 = v31.replace(the effective_date rule) — the Agreement/EXECUTION date wins whenever one is stated (preamble / signature block / “dated” / “as of”), a defined Effective Date term is fallback only when no execution date appears, never null with a stated date visible. Ceiling +0.0142 composite (field 0.8224→0.9363) vs the ±0.011 band → the A/B MUST run on the full-510 surface (the 26 differing-date docs are absent from the 50-doc and sample5 surfaces). Runs reserved: qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v32_extraction_langfuse_510_full (candidate) + qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v31_extraction_langfuse_510_rerun (noise-floor control) — both full-510 chunked (90k/8k), seed 42, temp 0.1, reasoning none, --manifest data/manifests/v31_510_chunked_full.jsonl. Blocked lesson banked for v33: blank-template fabrication (11 docs invent a day for “April __, 2005”).
2026-08-15 03:23 — prompt-engineer — done + KANBAN-028 done
KANBAN-023 (sorter v12): the paused candidate ran and closed. v12 0.9234 vs the clean v9 rerun 0.9175 = +0.0059, paired CI [−0.0098, +0.0216], P(Δ≤0)=0.251 — inside the noise band → logic repair, NOT an aggregate win (v9-orig 0.9116 → v9-clean 0.9175 moved +0.0059 identical-prompt; the first v9 @509 control was degraded with 42 transient errors and was replaced by the clean rerun). strategic_alliance cell 28/32 → 31/32 — 3 deterministic rule-28 recoveries (Iovance/Giggles/Adaptimmune, reasoning pinned); Intricon remains (license carve-out didn’t override the substance read). Recovered 9 / regressed 6, all regressions from pre-existing Rule 9/13/24 machinery, none rule-28-driven; 2 equiv-recovered. v9 stays aggregate champion; v12 = strategic_alliance field specialist on the frontier. Memo memos/sorter_v12.md; CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Changed. KANBAN-028 (master_clauses.csv): the ground-truth CSV the human provided is committed at data/cuad/master_clauses.csv (510 docs × 40 -Answer cols); DEFAULT_MASTER_LABELS now prefers the repo-local copy; the loader normalizes the stray-space - Answer header variant (101 rows now load that category’s answer, previously 0); 377 tests green; CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Added. (Renumbered from the provisional 027 — that number belongs to ATOM’s done repo-streamlining card.) NOTE: uncommitted vision local-CUAD-mirror work (.gitignore data/cuad_pdfs/, recursive load_local_pdfs, run_langfuse_classification_eval.py --pdf-dir, test_page_voting) sits in the tree owned by another agent — left untouched, NOT swept into this commit.
2026-08-15 18:15 — prompt-engineer — claimed
Master ground-truth CSV added to the repo, claimed in_progress (board-only): data/cuad/master_clauses.csv (510 CUAD docs × 40 -Answer categories, 3.95 MB) so extraction MAE diagnostics no longer depend on the sibling llm-mailroom checkout; DEFAULT_MASTER_LABELS points at the repo-local copy first (MASTER_LABELS_CSV env still wins, sibling path kept as fallback). Loader quirk found: the CSV header carries Notice Period To Terminate Renewal- Answer (space), which the endswith("-Answer") filter silently drops — fixing the loader to normalize that variant. Test pinned; docs updated. Independent of KANBAN-023 (sorter v12) — separate scope.
2026-08-15 17:26 — prompt-engineer — (noise-floor control re-run reserved)
The first v9 @509 noise-floor rerun (qwen3.7-flash_sorter_v9_subtype_langfuse_rerun_509) was DEGRADED — 42/509 transient generator didn't stop after throw() errors left only 467 rows scored (0.9143 on the subset). Reserving a CLEAN control rerun: qwen3.7-flash_sorter_v9_subtype_langfuse_rerun_509_clean (fresh manifest data/manifests/subtype_v9_rerun_509_clean.jsonl, full 509, fp c2341957, seed 42, temp 0.1, reasoning medium) — same-surface identical-prompt control so the v12 candidate delta (0.9234 vs the 0.9116 clean v9 benchmark) is interpreted against a valid band. Candidate qwen3.7-flash_sorter_v12_subtype_langfuse already logged (strict 0.9234, 509/509, 0 errors).
Dated, append-only log. Newest entry goes at the TOP. Format: **YYYY-MM-DD — <agent/human> — <card ref(s)>** <what happened / decision / question / blocker>. No editing history.

Repository streamlining + navigation pass claimed in_progress (board-only; docs + safe nesting only — no functional code, no derived-artifact regen). Scope: (1) README Table of Contents + Layout-tree repair — the src/ modules openrouter_utils/prompts/scorers/taxonomy are mis-nested under wiki/, the scripts/ tree is stale (missing run_langfuse_*, run_model_matrix, sync_langfuse_*, eda/, release.py), and test counts are stale (223 / “303” → 375); (2) src/README.md, memos/README.md (table bug + missing v28/v30/v31/sorter_v10_v11 rows), scripts/README.md refresh; (3) nest scripts/backfill_cost_estimates.py → scripts/reporting/ (one-time reporting backfill; update live refs in scripts/README + wiki/Scoring, leave CHANGELOG history as-is). Anti-trampling note: KANBAN-023’s staged sorter_v12 set was swept into commit a89a08f (tree now clean) — that card stays owned by prompt-engineer, untouched.

2026-08-15 17:05 — opencode — resumed (arm 3 finalize): LANGSMITH_PROJECT is a NAME, not an id — fixed + re-running for correct traces
Resuming after the tooling commit (4600469), the shim fix (a4deab6), and the Langfuse dataset sync. Live finding during the first @94 run: LANGSMITH_PROJECT must be the project NAME — setting it to the UUID 67d5b276-b323-4e90-95f1-e111e6fd88b9 created a SPURIOUS project literally named 67d5b276-… (id 3270ac98-8135-499a-abc5-883d42bcfcc1) and routed this run’s traces THERE instead of the intended project. The intended target is the project whose NAME is HEARSAY (id 67d5b276-b323-4e90-95f1-e111e6fd88b9, 0 runs so far — confirmed empty); .env/.env.example now set LANGSMITH_PROJECT=HEARSAY (comment documents the name-vs-id trap). v0 baseline @94 (before the re-point): exact_match 74/94 (78.7%), no 41/53 (77.4%) / yes 33/41 (80.5%), 51,608 tokens, ~$0.0027, rows_with_usage 94 — a REAL signal (not the train-set ceiling); run-to-run variance on this surface = ~1 row (a manifest-replay run scored 73/94; 3 rows flipped between two fresh runs at temp 0.0). Re-running both reserved runs after the re-point so the traces land in HEARSAY, then md/site regen + CHANGELOG + board close-out. NOTE (anti-trampling): prompt-engineer’s KANBAN-023 staged set (src/prompts.py sorter_v12, tests/test_prompts.py, board claim, sorter_v12_pilot log record) is left staged/uncommitted — I commit ONLY KANBAN-026 files and never touch that staging.

Sorter v12 banked-cluster arm claimed in_progress (board-only): v12 = v11 + rule 28 STRATEGIC ALLIANCE TITLE WINS — the first banked lesson from the KANBAN-013 close-out. Data: the v9 full-509 benchmark leaves strategic_alliance at 22/27 (5 fails), all five explicitly titled “STRATEGIC ALLIANCE AGREEMENT”, all family_confusion — Iovance/Adaptimmune → collaboration by rule-21 INVERSION (reasoning quotes rule 21 backwards: “Under Rule 21, collaborative governance structures (like a JSC)… classify them as ‘collaboration’”), Intricon → license, Giggles → consulting, FTE → service. 0-risk counterfactual (all 32 alliance-titled docs GT alliance). SORTER_PROMPT_V12 registered + test_sorter_v12_strategic_alliance_title_wins (373 tests green). Surface: the full-509 corpus (fp c2341957…, seed 42, temp 0.1, reasoning medium) — the 243 surface holds only 1 alliance fail and cannot resolve the cluster. Runs reserved: qwen3.7-flash_sorter_v9_subtype_langfuse_rerun_509 (noise-floor control) + qwen3.7-flash_sorter_v12_subtype_langfuse (candidate); pilot qwen3.7-flash_sorter_v12_subtype_langfuse_pilot (sample 10, pipeline smoke only).

2026-08-15 03:23 — opencode — →026 RENUMBER + arm 3: Langfuse dataset mirror + LangSmith sink 67d5b276…
Reconciliation: my HEARSAY iteration series was claimed as KANBAN-025 BEFORE prompt-engineer’s run-sink swap (a different task) landed under the SAME number and got done/archived. Per the conflict rule (later timestamp wins the lane), the run-sink KANBAN-025 keeps the number; this series is renumbered KANBAN-026 (table + this post; earlier posts keep KANBAN-025 = history). Arm 3 scope (per the human): (1) sync_langfuse_datasets.py mirrors mailroom-lb-hearsay (train) + mailroom-lb-hearsay-test (94 rows) into Langfuse datasets (llm-dojo, deterministic item ids → reruns upsert); (2) LangSmith becomes the trace sink retargeted to project 67d5b276-b323-4e90-95f1-e111e6fd88b9 (LANGSMITH_PROJECT in .env/.env.example; AGENTS.md updated) — consistent with the run-sink swap (Braintrust logging OFF; Braintrust ORG log-bytes cap also now DROPS dataset-row uploads, so the 94-row test set is unavailable in Braintrust); (3) streamer --local-dump + runner --task-dataset give a clean, local LegalBench-formatted JSONL eval path (same records the Braintrust upload builds). Runs reserved: qwen3.7-flash_legalbench_task_v0_test + qwen3.7-flash_legalbench_task_v0_classification_langfuse_test (94 rows) — traces → llm-dojo + LangSmith 67d5b276….
2026-08-15 15:42 — prompt-engineer — done
Run sink swapped to Langfuse + LangSmith; Braintrust experiment/span logging is now OFF by default — no subscription upgrade needed. BRAINTRUST_LOGGING=disabled (default in .env/.env.example): the four run_*_eval.py runners (subtype/extraction/chained/classification) consult it via src/braintrust_logging.py and, when disabled, skip setup_langchain + braintrust.Eval entirely, running the SAME local scoring loop through src/eval_shims.py::run_local_eval (thread pool + manifest resume + repo experiment log, tracing_backend="none" + langsmith meta) — every surface incl. vision classification + chunked extraction runs with ZERO Braintrust quota; opt back in per run with BRAINTRUST_LOGGING=enabled. run_langfuse_*_eval.py are now the documented PRIMARY path (per-document Langfuse traces + numeric scores in llm-dojo; every LLM call auto-traces to the LangSmith llm-mailroom project; chunked extraction supported). Verified live: 1-doc subtype pilot through the disabled path → tracing_backend=none, langsmith=True, full RunnableSequence→ChatOpenAI trace tree captured in LangSmith, and no Braintrust 400s (previously every log batch was dropped on num_log_bytes_calendar_months). Docs flipped (AGENTS.md intro + cheatsheet, README, wiki/Eval-Runners); 365 tests green (+5 gate unit tests, +1 disabled-path smoke test). Card archived.
2026-08-15 15:42 — opencode — arm 2 claimed: TEST-SET iteration surface + mutation loop
The 95-row test set is the OFFICIAL nguha/legalbench HF split: 94 rows (No 53 / Yes 41; slices: Standard hearsay 29, Not-introduced-to-prove-truth 20, Non-assertive conduct 19, Statement made in-court 14, Non-verbal hearsay 12; GitHub ships only train.tsv). Streamer gains --test (HF nguha/legalbench split → mailroom-lb-<task>-test, same LegalBench columns index/answer/text/slice). Runs reserved: qwen3.7-flash_legalbench_task_v0_test + qwen3.7-flash_legalbench_task_v0_classification_langfuse_test (v0 baseline @94) and the v1 candidate pair qwen3.7-flash_legalbench_task_v1_test + _classification_langfuse_test — same-surface A/B, bootstrap-CI. I/O discipline per the request: inputs = the LegalBench base_prompt format ({text} filled, few-shot), outputs constrained to the valid classes (single token).
2026-08-15 15:12 — opencode — baseline done (series step 1, card stays open)
Qwen’s base performance on hearsay is measured: qwen3.7-flash_legalbench_task_v0_baseline = exact_match 1.0 (5/5), per-class no 1.0 / yes 1.0, 3,585 tokens / ~$0.0003 (Braintrust runner) — replicated on the llm-dojo Langfuse mirror (_classification_langfuse_baseline, 3,481 tokens, 5 legalbench_task_classification traces with scores verified). KEY INSIGHT for the series: the v0 prompt SATURATES the 5-row train surface (2 Yes / 3 No, one per slice) — zero headroom to measure iterative improvements on this sample. Any GEPA-style mutation A/B on the train set will land on the ceiling; the next arm must sync the 95-row LegalBench test set (test.tsv) so deltas have resolution. Langfuse traces land in llm-dojo under the baseline session (the diagnosis surface for the prompt-engineer). No prompt mutation yet — baseline only, per the request.
2026-08-15 03:23 — opencode — claimed
HEARSAY prompt-iteration series claimed in_progress (board-only, KANBAN-022 wiring + first run are done and archived): step 1 = the v0 baseline — run legalbench_task_v0 × qwen/qwen3.7-flash on mailroom-lb-hearsay to establish Qwen’s base performance BEFORE any iterative improvements. Runs reserved here: qwen3.7-flash_legalbench_task_v0_baseline (Braintrust runner) + qwen3.7-flash_legalbench_task_v0_classification_langfuse_baseline (llm-dojo Langfuse mirror) — 5 rows, 2 Yes / 3 No, one row per slice.

Note: the v0-usage runs from KANBAN-022 already scored exact_match 1.0 — this baseline is the clean, distinctly-named anchor record for the series.

LangSmith tracing wired + live-error analysis: LANGSMITH_API_KEY=lsv2_pt_… (project token) + LANGSMITH_TRACING=true + LANGSMITH_PROJECT=llm-mailroom added to .env (gitignored) + .env.example; AGENTS.md Environment section documents it (incl. the OpenRouter OTEL export distinction). Verified end-to-end: one real sorter call (SorterAgent v11 via OpenRouter) with Braintrust’s setup_langchain active produced a complete LangChain-native trace tree in the llm-mailroom project (RunnableSequence → ChatOpenAI qwen/qwen3.7-flash → JsonOutputParser) — the auto-tracing coexists with the Braintrust patch. Live-error analysis (the ID supplied is the PROJECT id, not a trace id): 100 runs in the last 14d (90 success / 10 error); all 10 errors are OpenRouter-exported OpenRouter Request spans — qwen/qwen3.7-flash via provider Alibaba returning 429 (~230ms, 2026-08-15 20:04–20:05 UTC, OpenRouter key EVALKEY3) — provider-level burst rate limiting during concurrent evals; OpenRouter’s failover spans (provider attempt 1: Alibaba) show recovery (90/100 success). Second live finding: Braintrust span ingestion is FAILING with 400 num_log_bytes_calendar_months plan-limit exhaustion (org UW-Madison-Capstone) — spans are being dropped with retry; the LangSmith project is the reliable span sink going forward (and OpenRouter’s OTEL export keeps flowing regardless). Docs-only change (no changelog entry); 359 tests green. Archived.

Sorter tail-sampling iteration shipped sorter_v10 (rule 26 MARKETING TITLE WINS) + sorter_v11 (rule 27 AFFILIATE IS NOT MARKETING) — CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry, 357 tests green, memo memos/sorter_v10_v11.md (frontier table). Diagnosis: the v9 close-out’s “1-off long tail” plateau reading was WRONG — per-family cluster analysis shows the marketing cell at 0.5/10 (243) and 7/17 (509), unchanged since v6, the worst family on both surfaces; all 7 fails at 509 are marketing-titled docs re-classified by operative machinery (Monsanto→agency, Zounds→manufacturing, Principal→endorsement = rule-6 over-fire, Pacira→distributor, Todos→reseller, Vertex→JV, Audible→co_branding); secondary clusters banked: strategic_alliance 5/32 (rule-21 inversion) + cooperation-title 3/15. Same-surface 243-doc A/B (fp fb9f939d, seed 42): champion rerun noise floor ±1 doc (0.9259→0.9300); v10 0.9342 and v11 0.9342 (equiv 0.9424), paired bootstrap CI [−0.0247, +0.0165], P(Δ≤0)=0.710 → INSIDE the noise band: logic repair, NOT a claimed win — v9 remains champion. Rule-driven accounting: 4 deterministic recoveries (Monsanto, Principal, Todos, Dynamex — all stable v9 failures; Dynamex was even flip-flopping between the two v9 runs), 2 affiliate restorations (Cybergy, SteelVault — rule-27 boundary), 1 R27-wording regression (LinkPlus, equiv-recovered); marketing cell 0.5→0.8 at 243. Also: filename-keyed counterfactuals MISS content-titled docs (both affiliate regressions’ recitals call the arrangement “marketing”) — lesson folded into rule 27’s machinery-based boundary. Follow-on arm KANBAN-023 spawned (strategic_alliance title-wins + cooperation-title + rule-21 inversion). Card archived, issue #11 closed. NOTE: first v11 launch hit a transient OpenRouter weekly-limit 403 (strict-0.0 record kept in the append-only log; rerun 15 min later succeeded) — the same 403 class that blocks KANBAN-021.

The deferred hearsay eval ran with the fresh OpenRouter key — exact_match 1.0 (5/5), per-class no 1.0 / yes 1.0 on qwen3.7-flash_legalbench_task_v0, replicated on the llm-dojo Langfuse mirror (legalbench_task_classification traces + exact_match/confidence scores verified, 5 traces per session). Run records: qwen3.7-flash_legalbench_task_v0 + _classification_langfuse (usage-less, superseded), _usage reruns carry full accounting (3,441 / 3,276 tokens, ~$0.0002 each, rows_with_usage 5/5). Two findings during the run: (1) BaseAgent._call_llm never captured usage (only the structured + vision paths did) — task-mode records had tokens 0 / cost 0; FIXED in agents/base_agent.py (raw AIMessage usage_metadata + cost, content-block join) + 2 unit tests, 359 tests green; (2) the Braintrust ORG is at its monthly log-bytes plan limit (num_log_bytes_calendar_months → 400 BadRequest on every batch) — hearsay experiment row data does NOT upload to Braintrust until the org’s billing is addressed; the repo experiment log (source of truth) + Langfuse traces are complete. Re-committed (_call_llm fix + records + site + CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Added + Fixed entries), card re-archived, issue #13 re-closed.
2026-08-15 14:50 — opencode — REOPENED (live hearsay eval run)
The deferred piece of the card (the actual LLM eval, not just the wiring) is being executed now — the OpenRouter weekly key limit that blocked it is cleared (fresh key provided by the human). Runs reserved here: qwen3.7-flash_legalbench_task_v0 (Braintrust) + qwen3.7-flash_legalbench_task_v0_classification_langfuse (llm-dojo mirror) — both on mailroom-lb-hearsay, --prompt-mode task --valid-classes Yes,No --prompt-version legalbench_task_v0 (5 rows, 2 Yes / 3 No). After the runs: experiment-log regen, site regen, result into the KANBAN-022 changelog entry, board re-archive + issue #13 re-close. NOTE for KANBAN-021’s owner: if the key limit is truly cleared, the v28/v31@510 resume is unblocked (--manifest data/manifests/v28_510_chunked.jsonl).

LegalBench hearsay task wired end-to-end in commit f417227 (CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Added entries in the same commit, 356 tests green; issue #13 closed). The diagnosis: the sync “began” but never completed — mailroom-lb-hearsay existed since 2026-08-09 but carried NO rows (the upload never landed) and data/legalbench_classes.jsonl was never written. Shipped: (1) the sync now runs against the ACTUAL task data (5 train rows, binary Yes/No, 2 Yes / 3 No, 5 slices — statement made in-court, non-assertive conduct, standard hearsay, non-verbal hearsay, not-introduced-to-prove-truth; CC BY 4.0, Neel Guha) → mailroom-lb-hearsay verified 5 rows, classes manifest written, Braintrust task-mode dry-run green (--prompt-mode task --valid-classes Yes,No); (2) root-cause fix: upload_text_dataset now inserts deterministic content-addressed ids — Braintrust’s insert() assigns a fresh UUID per call, so every streamer rerun APPENDED duplicate rows (observed 2×5 on hearsay after the partial + rerun); reruns now upsert as the docstrings always promised; (3) run_langfuse_classification_eval.py gains --prompt-mode task (the mirror previously hardcoded the sorter doc-type path and dropped the row’s prompt field) — hearsay and every LegalBench task now trace into llm-dojo with one legalbench_task observation per row carrying exact_match/confidence; (4) LegalBench-task docs updated with the actual task data (README sync/eval examples + sorter’s-two-jobs, AGENTS.md cheatsheet, wiki/Eval-Runners.md, scripts/README.md, streamer docstring); (5) README Credits section (LegalBench, CUAD / The Atticus Project, MAUD, GEPA, LangChain/LangGraph/Braintrust/Langfuse). Follow-up flagged, NOT orphaned: the other ~78 curated LB task datasets stay unsynced by design (documented --tasks all flow, proven on hearsay). Card archived.
2026-08-15 14:39 — opencode — claimed
HEARSAY task wiring claimed in_progress (board-only, issue #13 opened first): the LegalBench hearsay task began wiring (streamer + legalbench_task_v0 + --prompt-mode task on the Braintrust runner exist) but never completed — no data/legalbench_classes.jsonl, no mailroom-lb-hearsay dataset verified, and the Langfuse mirror runner has NO task mode (hardcoded sorter doc-type path). Scope: (1) run the sync for the actual hearsay data (5 train rows, binary Yes/No, 5 slices, CC BY 4.0, Neel Guha) + classes manifest; (2) verify the Braintrust eval path dry-run; (3) wire --prompt-mode task into run_langfuse_classification_eval.py + tests so hearsay traces into llm-dojo; (4) update all LegalBench-task docs with the actual task data; (5) README credits (LegalBench, CUAD/The Atticus Project, GEPA). KANBAN-021’s v31 work in the tree untouched.
2026-08-15 14:39 — prompt-engineer — claimed
Sorter tail-sampling iteration claimed in_progress (issue #11 open). Diagnostic-first: the “1-off long tail” plateau reading from the v9 close-out is superseded by cluster analysis — v9 243-run (strict 0.9259, 18 fails) + full-509 run (0.9116, 45 fails): marketing cell 0.5/10 at 243 and 7/17 at 509 (0.588) — the worst cell on both surfaces, unchanged since v6; strategic_alliance 5/32 (0.844, unchanged v8→v9); collaboration cell regressed 0.923→0.885 (3 “COOPERATION AGREEMENT” docs read as JV/development). Root cause: the model’s operative-machinery rules (R6/R8/R16) re-classify marketing-titled hybrids (Monsanto→agency, Zounds→manufacturing, Principal→endorsement = R6 over-fire, Pacira→distributor, Todos→reseller, Vertex→JV, Audible→co_branding) while the CUAD folder convention files them under Marketing — R16 covers only the pure “Marketing Agreement”+supply shape. v10 = v9 + ONE rule: rule 26 MARKETING TITLE WINS (mirror of the validated R23/R24 title-wins doctrine), with two carve-outs (license-primary titles per annex inheritance; operational-service families transportation/hosting) protecting the only counterfactuals at risk (Playboy GT license, Dynamex GT transportation). Counterfactual @509: reward 7+Dynamex, risk 1 (carve-out-protected), keep 10; @243: reward 5, risk 0, keep 5. SORTER_PROMPT_V10 registered + test_sorter_v10_marketing_title_wins (350 tests green). Runs reserved: qwen3.7-flash_sorter_v9_subtype_langfuse_rerun (champion noise-floor rerun, fresh manifest subtype_v9_rerun_250.jsonl) + qwen3.7-flash_sorter_v10_subtype_langfuse (candidate, manifest subtype_v10_250.jsonl) — both --stratified 250 --seed 42 on mailroom-cuad-contracts-full (fp fb9f939d…), the same surface as the v8↔︎v9 A/B.
2026-08-15 13:01 — prompt-engineer — done (two iterations: v27 → v28)
key_obligations span residual attacked with the multi-item family-section rule; shipped contracts_specialist_v27 + contracts_specialist_v28 (CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry, 345 tests green, Langfuse llm-dojo synced, memo memos/contracts_specialist_v28.md). Diagnosis: pairwise sim-matrix classification showed ~60–70% of misses are NEAR (0.35–0.59) — the model quotes ONE sentence per multi-requirement family section (Ritter insurance/audit, Buffalo ROFR, NOVO, Goosehead); truncation confound documented (sample5 chunked=false — Phasebio 0.125 vs 0.94 chunked). v27 = v26 + “family section is MULTI-ITEM”. v28 = v27 + operative-vs-definitional criterion + additive-only re-scan (trace lessons from v27’s Cardax definitional-fragment + Ritter attention-shift failures). Same-surface 50-doc chunked A/B (seed 42, current scorer): v28 0.9228 vs v26 0.8780 overall (+4.48pp, bootstrap 95% CI [+0.0094, +0.0907], P(Δ≤0)=0.004); key_obligations +11.4pp (0.7606→0.8747), 20 recovered vs 4 regressed (single-span losses on ≥0.85 docs, no new pattern); term_length +0.040; tokens +6.7%. Sample5 chunked series: v26 0.8944 → v27 0.9535 → v28 0.9837. Card archived, issue #3 closed.
2026-08-15 12:49 — prompt-engineer — claimed
Extraction next arm claimed in_progress (issue #3 already open, cross-repo). Diagnostic-first work completed: classified every key_obligations miss on both surfaces via pairwise similarity matrices (src.field_scoring._element_similarity vs GT spans from build_expected_fields). Dominant root cause: wrong-span at sentence level within multi-requirement family sections — the model quotes ONE sentence per section while the GT holds 3–10 distinct requirement sentences (Ritter: emitted insurance-procurement but not primary-of-all-purposes/additional-insured; audit section 10 GT spans, ~0 emitted; Buffalo: ROFR/insurance/license near-misses; NOVO: revenue-sharing stock-delivery sentence missed; Goosehead 8 near-misses). 60–70% of misses land in the NEAR band (sim 0.35–0.59), NOT family omission. Secondary findings: (1) truncation confound on the sample5 A/B surface — those runs are chunked=false and Phasebio collapses to 0.125 there vs 0.9375 chunked@50 (v22) — pipeline config, not prompt; (2) v23’s worked-example set fixed Midwest (0.143→1.0) but regressed Gridiron (1.0→0.0, degenerate ":" output — 1-off); (3) v26’s asserted “10–25-word GT grain” is false — GT spans median 21–84 words (r≈0 with score; grain is not the driver, sentence choice is). v27 = v26 + ONE rule: family sections are multi-item — emit every distinct requirement sentence as its own item, never collapse a section into its first sentence. Runs reserved here.

prompt-engineer agent shipped in commit 1fcc734 (CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Added entry in the same commit): .opencode/agents/prompt-engineer.md (mode all, verified registered via opencode agent list) — the master diagnostic evaluator & prompt engineer whose SOLE role is reviewing all traces, reasoning, failures, errors, and results of evaluated prompts and producing stronger, refined, data-backed prompt mutations (new version keys, never an edit to a run prompt). Encodes the repo’s iteration contract: the diagnose → root-cause → mutate → verify → land loop with the failure taxonomy, same-surface A/B discipline (bootstrap-CI verdicts, recovered- vs-regressed checks), the plateau/overfit doctrine (clusters not 1-off outliers, family-level generalization test, MAE/R² evidence floor, cost as tradeoff), and board + CHANGELOG + memo close-out with proof. AGENTS.md “Agents (this repo)” section documents it alongside experiment-log-sync. Board-only card, archived. KANBAN-017’s in-flight v25 work (src/prompts.py + tests) untouched and still in_progress.
2026-08-15 12:23 — opencode — claimed
The prompt-engineer agent (prompt-engineer.md) — the master diagnostic evaluator and prompt engineer — claimed in_progress. Its sole role: review every trace, reasoning trace, failure, error message, and result of evaluated prompts and produce stronger, refined, DATA-BACKED prompt mutations (new version keys) free of local plateaus and sample overfitting. The agent file encodes the repo’s full iteration contract: the six-phase diagnose → root-cause → mutate → verify → land loop with the failure taxonomy, same-surface A/B discipline (bootstrap-CI verdicts), the plateau/overfit doctrine (rules for clusters, not 1-off outliers; generalization test; evidence floor on MAE/R² pair counts), board + CHANGELOG + memo close-out rules, and the version-key identity invariant. AGENTS.md gains the “Agents (this repo)” section documenting it alongside experiment-log-sync. Board-only card (single-session tooling, no issue).
2026-08-15 20:56 — opencode — close-out extended (final scope)
The card’s shipped scope is now complete end-to-end: (1) money MAE + span-count drift + support sizes (money_mae_usd/median + per-field, span_count_mae/ signed_mean + per-field + n_docs, date/duration/money_n_pairs — src/metrics.py, parse_money alias, 4 new tests); (2) dedicated run-level diagnostics renderer in src/experiment_log.py (_diagnostics_lines: list quality, regression error, span-count drift, error decomposition; diagnostics excluded from the generic nested-scores path) + GH Pages run-detail diagnostics card (docs/assets/site.js diagnosticsCard() + styles); (3) scoring-method slide decks docs/slides/ (7 decks + index — worked example inputs/outputs + concise scientific explanations of every scoring method, for parallel researchers); (4) real-pilot evidence — pilot_diag_v22_sample2 (2 docs, seed 42, master labels CSV active) whose diagnostics block (dates MAE 0 / R² 1.0; key_obligations 43 pred vs 18 exp → span-count +10.5, raw precision 0.31 = textbook over-extraction) is embedded in the decks; (5) docs updated (SCORING.md §4, README, AGENTS.md modules + gotcha, docs/README.md, wiki/Scoring.md + wiki synced). 337 tests green, site render audit green. Chained-eval diagnostics remain out of scope (own runner, future card). Archive row updated.

term_length containment arm landed in contracts_specialist_v26 (CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry, 343 tests green, Langfuse llm-dojo synced). v25 finding: additive-prefix wording + a verbatim worked example recovered Ediets (containment 1.0) but caused TEMPLATE LEAKAGE — Ritter/Phasebio quoted the example clause verbatim with the duration swapped in (containment 0.7059/0.2222; their openers are “The initial term…”, “The term of this Agreement (the”Term”)…“). v26 replaces the example with opener VARIANTS to match the document’s own wording + an explicit”never reuse wording from these instructions”. Same-surface 5-doc A/B (seed 42): v26 overall 0.9447 — best of the arm (v23 0.9366, v24 0.9336, v25 0.9154); term_length 1.0000, all three term docs containment 1.0, no leakage. Card archived.
2026-08-15 12:23 — opencode — claimed
term_length containment arm claimed in_progress (board-only): v24’s leading-phrase rule caused the model to REPLACE the clause opener with the canonical duration phrase — the CUAD ground-truth span for Ediets IS the opener (“This Agreement will become effective as of the Effective Date and, unless sooner terminated pursuant to Sections 3.1”), so containment dropped 1.0→0.3333. Fix = contracts_specialist_v25 (derived from v24, base untouched): the prefix is ADDITIVE, the ENTIRE verbatim term clause (opener first, exactly as written) must follow — never start at the duration phrase. Planned run: qwen3.7-flash_contracts_specialist_v25_sample5 (seed 42, 5 docs, same surface as the v23/v24 A/B) — name reserved here.

Re-baseline finding: the 50-doc surface overstates the champion by ~6pp (v28 0.9228 @50 vs 0.8622 @510) — full-corpus is the stable estimate. 356 tests green; 7,250-entry reasoning-trace corpus (14.2/doc) seeds the next reflection; memo contracts_specialist_v31.md updated with the completed A/B; CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry rewritten from BLOCKED to the results.

Scale-up A/B hit the OpenRouter weekly key limit (403) mid-run: v28@510 completed 217/509 rows (partial — the 0.8558 on the record is a biased subset, not a full-corpus number), v31@510 completed 0. What shipped despite the blocker: v31 (token-efficiency refactor, −8.0% = 2,679 chars with every operative constraint preserved + 28 family entries; 349 tests green; memo contracts_specialist_v31.md with the v22→v31 token audit) registered and test-pinned; full-corpus surface identified (mailroom-cuad-contracts-full), cost proven (~$0.19/run); both manifests resumable. What unblocks: weekly limit reset or a new OpenRouter key — then resume v28@510 via its manifest and run v31@510 fresh (commands in the card + memo). The reasoning-trace corpus (217 docs × ~20–30 entries) seeds the next reflection once unblocked.

v0.18.0 shipped: changelog conversion (Unreleased → v0.18.0, 6 entries), pyproject 0.18.0, tag v0.18.0 + GitHub release with changelog notes; board swept (KANBAN-004/017/018/019/020 archived under v0.18.0, open cards 005/006/008/009/011/013 re-targeted v0.19.0). Root-cause fix in scripts/release.py: the conversion inserted the new release section under the [Unreleased] header but never removed the old body — every converted section shipped duplicated (v0.15.0/v0.17.0/v0.18.0 all had to be deduped by hand). release_changelog now replaces the WHOLE Unreleased section and the note lives inside the new release header (no more phantom unreleased bullets); regression test test_release_changelog_does_not_duplicate_entries added (348 tests green). llm-mailroom mirror synced (19c8f63).
2026-08-15 13:52 — opencode — v0.17.0 release published
v0.17.0 is live: GitHub release created from the annotated tag v0.17.0 (commit fdaa009), marked Latest (previously v0.16.0 still held Latest — the tag existed but the release was never published), full changelog-derived notes at https://github.com/Exios66/llm-entity-extraction/releases/tag/v0.17.0. Changelog hygiene: the v0.17.0 section was found duplicated (every entry twice — the same class of bug as the v0.15.0 dedup repair); deduped in the working tree (first-half kept, KANBAN-016/014/Sorter-scale-up all x1) and the release notes regenerated from the deduped section; release.py --check green. llm-mailroom mirror sync verified current (a54574c DOCS SYNC: upstream v0.17.0 + v26 arm).

Follow-up arm closed: shipped contracts_specialist_v29 (CoC-definition carve-out) + contracts_specialist_v30 (chunk-mode scalar-quoting discipline), --chunked flags + truncation-confound warning on run_extraction_eval.py, and the GEPA workflow in .opencode/agents/prompt-engineer.md (CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entries, 347 tests green, Langfuse synced, memo memos/contracts_specialist_v30.md). Headline: the noise floor. Identical-prompt rerun of the v28 champion (same 50-doc chunked surface): −0.0293 overall band, ~12 docs >±0.02 per field → the follow-up candidates measure INSIDE it (v29 −0.0264, v30 −0.0382 vs the rerun band −0.0293) and ship as unmeasured logic repairs; v28 stays champion (re-validated vs v26 +0.0448, CI [+0.0087, +0.0891], P=0.004). Per-span diffs: Ediets = rule-driven CoC-definition suppression (fixed by v29; 0.692→0.769), LinkPlus/Innerscope/Legacy = noise; renewal_terms dip = 1 doc (NOVO, quote-truncation); Gridiron = 1-off (fresh runs 1.0).

Archive rows for 014/015/016 now read v0.17.0. Open cards (004/005/006/008/009/011/013) re-targeted v0.17.0 → v0.18.0. Tag + push + llm-mailroom mirror sync to follow.
2026-08-15 12:10 — opencode — done
Contracts specialist v24 landed in commit 6f77615 (v0.17.0 prep, CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Changed entry in the same commit, 341 tests green, Langfuse llm-dojo prompt store synced — v24 mirrored). Pilot A/B (seed 42, n=5, same surface): v24 0.9336 vs v23 0.9366 overall (noise), key_obligations +10.2pp (0.5984→0.7006), reasoning trace on 5/5 rows both runs (schema-required — v24 entries are per-field structured: field/evidence/section_ref), date_n 5/5 + dur_n 2/2 parseable pairs both runs, money_n 0 (no money GT in sample), tokens +2.5% (1,312 extra per run). Tradeoff documented: term_length containment dipped on 1 doc (Ediets 1.0→0.3333 — the leading-duration-phrase rule trades containment credit for parseability; monitored in the next arm). Issue #12 closed; card archived.
2026-08-15 12:07 — opencode — claimed
Contracts specialist v24 claimed in_progress (issue #12 opened first, cross-repo — llm-mailroom imports the agent): the extractor gains a REQUIRED per-field reasoning trace (reasoning: summary + entries[{field, evidence, section_ref}]) produced before finalizing the extraction, plus metrics-aligned format discipline so the new regression diagnostics (date/duration/money MAE + R² vs master labels) parse more pairs. Format alignment ONLY — the master CSV is eval ground truth and never reaches the model. Related but distinct from KANBAN-004 (span-residual arm). Planned runs: {model}_contracts_specialist_v23_sample5 vs {model}_contracts_specialist_v24_sample5 (seed 42, 5 docs) — names reserved here.
2026-08-14 20:51 — opencode — done (reconciliation: parallel-edit merge)
Extraction regression diagnostics landed in commit 91392ea (v0.17.0 prep; CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Added + Changed entries in the same commit; 337 tests green). Concurrent-edit note for future agents: mid-session, a parallel edit landed in the same files (a diagnostics renderer in src/experiment_log.py, money-MAE + span-count-drift metrics in src/metrics.py, parse_money alias, tests/test_experiment_log.py, site display + regenerated docs/data/*) — this card’s scope and the parallel scope overlapped. Per the anti-trampling protocol (AGENTS.md §4), both were MERGED, not reverted: the parallel agent’s UPDATES commit swept the whole tree (my R² work + their renderer/metrics) into one coherent feature — R² + MAE for dates/durations, money MAE (USD), span-count drift, field error decomposition, pair counts, all tracked in scores.diagnostics (experiment-log JSONL + md render + GH Pages breakdown). Net effect: the merged commit is a superset of this card’s scope. Chained-eval diagnostics remain out of scope (own runner, future card). Card archived.
2026-08-14 19:53 — opencode — claimed
Extraction regression diagnostics claimed in_progress: the working tree already holds uncommitted work with NO card (board rule 4) — src/metrics.py (date/duration MAE), src/master_labels.py (curated master-clauses CSV loader, default ../llm-mailroom/data/cuad/master_clauses.csv), field_scoring.parse_date alias, run_extraction_eval.py --master-labels + diagnostics plumbing. This card ships that work PLUS R² (coefficient of determination) as a tracked performance metric (duration_r2, date_r2, per-field buckets), wires scores.diagnostics into the experiment log + GH Pages breakdown, adds network-free tests, and documents formulas in SCORING.md. Chained-eval diagnostics stay out of scope (own runner, future card).
2026-08-14 11:14 — opencode — done
Full-corpus CUAD EDA landed in commit 2fe4103 (v0.17.0 prep, CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Added entry in the same commit, 306 tests green): data/eda/report.md + findings.md + figures/01–10, driven by scripts/eda/explore_cuad.py (reproducible: python scripts/eda/explore_cuad.py from the repo root; Braintrust texts with local/CUAD fallback). Card archived.
2026-08-14 11:13 — opencode — claimed
Full-corpus EDA (510-contract CUAD) in progress: scripts/eda/explore_cuad.py rewritten (Braintrust full-corpus texts aligned 510/510 by title with local/CUAD fallback; restriction-family vs all-category span load; length-budget shares; co-occurrence; redaction scan) → outputs data/eda/report.md, data/eda/findings.md, figures/01–10. Key numbers: median 33,425 chars, 17% over the 90k chunk window; key_obligations scope mean 16.0 spans/doc (49 docs null); 131 docs carry [***] redaction markers; Anti-Assignment co-occurs with Change Of Control in 98% of the less-common docs. Committing with CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry.
2026-08-13 11:15 — opencode — queue tooling fix
status was hanging: it scanned the FULL trace history for the item meta map (list_extraction_traces(..., since=None)), which stalls for minutes on the subtype task under Langfuse rate limits. Fixed: --since-days moved to the shared args (default 30, same as build) and status now bounds the scan — run_annotation_queue.py + regression test (test_status_since_days_bounds_scan); 306 tests green, CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Fixed entry added.
2026-08-13 11:15 — opencode — queue refresh
Rebuilt the llm-dojo annotation queue with the most recent run’s failures: v9-scoped build --task subtype (session qwen3.7-flash_sorter_v9_subtype_langfuse, dedupes against the queue) enqueued 45 new sorter failures (0 already present) — doc_type/subtype classification misses from the v9 full-corpus + A/B runs (05:00/05:12 UTC). Queue now 217 PENDING, 0 PROCESSED (172 prior + 45). Note: status --task subtype hangs on the trace-meta scan (no since bound on list_extraction_traces) — items verified via direct queue-items read instead.
2026-08-13 03:23 — opencode — v0.16.0 release sweep (KANBAN-012/010 done; +KANBAN-013)
Board swept for the v0.16.0 release: KANBAN-012 archived — the sorter_v9 A/B landed (commit 6697ea9): strict 0.8971→0.9259 (+2.88pp), v6→v9 +5.8pp, 25→18 fails, all three title-wins clusters eliminated; issue #10 closed. Honest reading: ~0.93 is the practical plateau (18 fails = 1-off long tail) → follow-on KANBAN-013 (tail-sampling iteration, issue #11). KANBAN-010 archived as resolved-by-decision — cost telemetry removal (25aa942) replaced “restore cost accounting”: the site now intentionally omits detailed cost/usage data; issue #8 closed. Open cards (004/005/006/ 008/009/011) re-targeted v0.16.0 → v0.17.0. Issues #3–#7/#9 stay open; #2/#8/#10 closed. Changelog [Unreleased] completed (queue score-config, board + issue routing, board tab, cost-telemetry removal) ahead of the v0.16.0 tag.
2026-08-13 00:12 — opencode — board logic (issue routing + close criteria)
Board governance extended: (1) GitHub issue routing formalized (§8) — critical/high-priority/cross-repo cards route to issues with label kanban, opened FIRST in the repo where the work lands, and every synced card’s Issue column MUST carry the full link to its own dedicated issue ([#NNN](https://github.com/Exios66/llm-entity-extraction/blob/main/url)) — one card = one issue, card↔︎issue status never disagrees; (2) completion & issue-close criteria (§7) — the six requirements to consider a task done AND its issue closable: verified work with clean git status, CHANGELOG entry in the same commit, card archived with version/commit/result, timestamped closing discussion entry, issue closed in the same commit as the archive, no orphaned scope. AGENTS.md rules 8 and 12 updated to match. Sync sweep verified: issues #3–#10 open (↔︎ 8 open cards), #2 closed (↔︎ archived KANBAN-003).
2026-08-13 00:02 — opencode — board logic (all cards)
In-progress semantics enforced: work underway = in_progress, never backlog codified as procedure §4 (backlog = ZERO work started: no draft, no diff, no run in flight) + the status-transition table + status-lane definitions; AGENTS.md lifecycle gained the matching rule (rule 4) with the git status sanity check. Applied immediately: KANBAN-012 moved backlog→in_progress (owner opencode) — its SORTER_PROMPT_V9 draft + test are in the working tree right now (src/prompts.py, tests/test_prompts.py), which made the backlog label false by definition. KANBAN-004’s corrupted row (duplicate cells from a bad merge) repaired. Rule for all agents: label a card in_progress when the work starts, before the code — never after.
2026-08-13 03:23 — opencode — /012 + site
Board sweep: sorter_v7 A/B landed (KANBAN-003 archived — v7 wins +0.82pp strict 0.8765, commit cbb5b93; issue #2 closed) and the user-run v8 A/B recorded (v8 wins +2.06pp strict 0.8971, commit 43ef2ab, development & IP clusters eliminated — proposition §17). New card KANBAN-012 (sorter_v9 title-wins draft, issue #10). The board is now ALSO rendered read-only on the experiment-log site under a #/board tab (build_site.py emits docs/data/board.json) — links to each card’s GitHub issue.
2026-08-12 23:52 — opencode — board procedures (all cards)
Procedures formalized in “How to use this board”: self-assignment order (comment → move to in_progress + Owner + date → reference in commits), the task-relation rule (work addressing a card’s problem updates THAT card — never a parallel card or duplicate issue), the status-transition table (who may move each lane and when), and the GitHub-issue sync: all 8 open cards are now issues #2–#9 (label kanban), each card↔︎issue pair must never disagree, close the issue in the same commit that archives the card. Cross-repo scope documented (this repo + llm-mailroom).
2026-08-12 23:32 — opencode — /007/001
Working tree landed in one commit (this board’s own bootstrap commit): regenerated experiment log (57 records) + site data (build_site.py — NOTE: costs meta absent, no activity CSV → KANBAN-010), registered sorter_v7 in PROMPT_VERSIONS with its data-backed-rule test (18 prompt tests green), AGENTS.md board governance section, and the [Unreleased] changelog entry for sorter_v7. KANBAN-001 closed — registration is in; evaluation stays open as KANBAN-003.
2026-08-12 23:32 — opencode —
v0.15.0 shipped: changelog dedup-repaired (the version conversion had duplicated the whole Unreleased block; every entry now appears exactly once), tag v0.15.0 → 4b6ad5f (commit 93eb938), release published with dedicated notes at https://github.com/Exios66/llm-entity-extraction/releases/tag/v0.15.0; release.py --check green at release time (303 tests). The release gate is clear — future agents can tag v0.16.0 directly.
2026-08-12 03:23 — board-bootstrap (opencode) — all cards
Board created and seeded from the live repo state: sorter_v7 WIP exists in the working tree (KANBAN-001), the tree is dirty with changelog/experiment-log/prompt changes (KANBAN-002), and v0.15.0 was released but not yet tagged on this tree (KANBAN-007). Open questions from V16_PROPOSITION.md promoted to cards KANBAN-003…KANBAN-009. Agents: claim before starting; post here on every material event.
