week_8: Module C (The Librarian) — live B→C integration, docs, and the regression gate#1011PRAteek-singHWY wants to merge 15 commits into
Conversation
…dule B's merged table Module B's `knowledge_queue` (OWASP#989) is substantially richer than the flat mirror C was built against. C modelled `source_repo` / `source_path` / `source_commit_sha` and nothing else, so against the merged table it failed validation on 100% of real rows, had no `chunk_id` or `artifact_id` to carry, and could not represent an rss row at all. `schemas.KnowledgeQueueItem` now mirrors B's table column for column — all 23, nothing dropped and nothing invented — and `section_from_queue_row` maps both provenance branches: github : source_repo / source_commit_sha / source_committed_at, locator repo_path rss : feed_url / post_guid, locator feed_item The identity columns are the point. `chunk_id` and `artifact_id` originate in Module A and travel through B untouched; C now uses them verbatim instead of synthesising its own, so an envelope refers to the same chunk every other module means. `DbKnowledgeSource` reads B's own SQLAlchemy model rather than redeclaring the table — C owns no schema and ships no migration. A row B wrote that C cannot model is logged with its ids and skipped rather than aborting the batch: a contract breach is worth seeing, but it must not cost the run.
…ates consumption
Retiring a queue row tells Module B never to offer that chunk again. Doing that
while the envelope built from it goes nowhere destroys the chunk outright: B will
not re-offer the row and nothing downstream ever saw the decision. So consumption
is defined against a sink, not against the pipeline having finished.
JsonlEnvelopeSink — appends one RFC envelope per line; fsynced, append-only so
several runs can share a file. `persists=True`.
NullEnvelopeSink — counts and discards, for dry runs. `persists=False`, and
the runner refuses to consume behind it.
The graph / review-queue writers (W8b) become further implementations of the same
protocol, so the consumption rule does not have to change when they land.
Envelopes are serialised with `exclude_none=True`, which is not cosmetic. The
vendored RFC schemas type their optional fields as plain "string" and leave them
out of `required`, so an absent value must be an absent *key*. Emitting
`"repo": null` fails validation against the very schema Module D reads — every
rss envelope trips it on repo/commit_sha, every github one on feed_url/post_guid.
No data is lost by omitting them: those are exactly the columns B itself stores
NULL per row type, which its own contract documents as `github only; NULL for
rss`.
Two tests pin this, because the old tests could not have caught it — asserting
"one JSON object per line" passes happily on a file whose every record is
invalid. One validates a written envelope against the vendored schema, resolved
in `$id` space so link-proposal's local `#/$defs` pointers resolve; the other
asserts no null survives anywhere in the tree. Both fail if `exclude_none` is
removed.
The mirror image of Module B's queue_writer. B inserts rows and C retires them; `db.KnowledgeQueueItem`'s own docstring assigns this side to C. This is the only place Module C writes to Module B's table, and it writes exactly one column. It never deletes a row: the queue doubles as the audit trail of what B handed over and what C did with it. Idempotent by construction — the update is filtered on `consumed_at IS NULL`, so replaying a run cannot move a timestamp that is already set. The returned count is rows actually stamped, which is why it can be lower than the number of ids passed in: a concurrent run got there first, or the id no longer exists. That is reported rather than raised. Ids are chunked before the `IN (...)`, because Postgres has a bind-parameter ceiling and a large IN plans badly. The caller owns the transaction, matching `run_noise_filter` on B's side.
…de() `decide()` has accepted `adversarial` / `update_ambiguous` since W6, but no caller ever passed them, so ADVERSARIAL_FLAG and UPDATE_AMBIGUOUS could not fire from the pipeline. That was flagged on OWASP#991 as something that must be wired before any write-back, since an auto-link that skips the safety path is exactly the failure the flags exist to prevent. This is that wiring. What is deliberately *not* here is a detector. The real guard — out-of-distribution scoring, conformal prediction, update detection — is later work. So the seam ships with NullSafetyGuard, which evaluates nothing and says so: its verdict carries `evaluated=False`, the pipeline counts those rows, and the runner reports the count. That distinction is the whole point. W5's review turned on a gate that skipped and still reported success; an unevaluated safety path that looks identical to a clean one is the same failure wearing a different hat. A clean verdict from a guard that never ran is a default, not a finding, and the run log now says which one it is. The rule this establishes for W8b: a writer that commits links into the graph must refuse to run behind a guard reporting `evaluated=False`. Retiring a queue row without the safety path is recoverable — the envelope is still on disk. Committing a link into a graph other tools read as truth is not.
…ator Until now the only place that knew how to construct a real retriever, reranker and scaler was `cre_main.run_librarian`, inline. That is why the OIE orchestrator (OWASP#996) could not drive `LibrarianPipeline`: it had the pipeline class but no way to produce the components it takes. This module is that seam. Everything here is construction only — no rows are read, no run is executed. Callers that want a run use `queue_runner.run_librarian_queue`. The DB and embedding imports are deliberately function-local. The rest of the librarian package is hermetically testable precisely because it never imports the database at module scope, and this is the one boundary where that stops being true; keeping the imports inside the call preserves it for everyone else. `load_config` now warns when `CRE_LIBRARIAN_TEMPERATURE` is still the 1.0 default, because 1.0 is the identity transform — an uncalibrated softmax. Thresholding τ against an uncalibrated confidence is not a smaller version of the right thing, it is a different thing, so the run says so out loud rather than looking fine.
Module C's live entry point: knowledge_queue -> C.0..C.4 -> consumed. Deliberately the same shape as Module B's `run_noise_filter` — `(session, pipeline_run_id, ..., dry_run) -> RunSummary` with a `to_json()` the CLI prints for the orchestrator to read. B reads harvest_input and fills knowledge_queue; C drains knowledge_queue and stamps consumed_at. What this adds over LibrarianPipeline is only the two DB-facing ends. The pipeline stays persistence-free and hermetic; this wraps it with a live source on one side and the write-back on the other. Consumption is gated on persistence. The runner refuses to stamp anything unless it was given a sink reporting `persists=True` and that sink accepted the batch. Graph writes are still W8b; JsonlEnvelopeSink is what makes a live drain lossless in the meantime. Which rows get retired: everything the pipeline finished with — rows that linked, rows that routed to review, and rows refused at the C.0 boundary, which is a definitive refusal (re-reading a malformed row forever helps nobody). Rows that *errored* mid-pipeline are left unconsumed, because those are the transient failures — an embedding timeout, a cross-encoder hiccup — the next run should retry. `RowOutcome` carries that distinction out of the pipeline, and `RunStats.errored` keeps it separate from `skipped`. UNCERTAIN rows are not touched. They are Module D's queue, per the B->C contract: C reads `consumed_at IS NULL AND llm_label = 'KNOWLEDGE'`. CLI: `--run_librarian` with `--run_id` drains the live queue; without it, walks a JSONL fixture. `--librarian_envelopes_out` is required for a real run, because a run with nowhere to put envelopes cannot safely retire anything. Combining `--librarian_source` with `--run_id` is a usage error rather than one silently winning.
Found while measuring this branch, and it is the same schema drift the rest of the PR fixes — just on the harness side. Golden rows are adapted into a synthetic knowledge_queue row before C.0 validates them. When Module B's table shape moved in OWASP#989, `queue_row_from_golden` kept minting the old flat row, so every one of the 319 rows was rejected at the boundary: positive 0/292 (0%) explicit 0/5 (0%) ... And the run still exited 0. With nothing validated, `explicit_total` stayed 0, the `if explicit_total:` gate skipped itself, and a harness that graded absolutely nothing reported success. That is precisely the skipped-gate-reports-success failure the C.3 calibration gate was fixed for on OWASP#974. Two changes: - `queue_row_from_golden` mints the full v0.2 shape, with deterministic ids derived from the row id (the live reports key their shared audits off them, so two runs must produce the same ids). - A boundary that rejects the whole dataset now fails the run with a message naming the likely cause, and an explicit slice that never reaches the resolver fails rather than vanishing. Restored: 319/319 validate, explicit gate 5/5 PASS, hub-firewall strips 319 leaking entries. Three tests cover it, including one that regresses the adapter to the flat shape and asserts exit code 1.

…run status **`consumed_at` was written timezone-aware into a naive column.** The runner passes an aware `at`, and `consumed_at` is a plain `DateTime`. That is dialect-dependent — SQLite keeps the offset in the string, Postgres drops it — and the B->C contract is explicit that the UTC wall clock is "stored and read back timezone-naive". `mark_consumed` now converts to UTC and strips tzinfo, so the stored instant is correct under both and matches the `created_at` values B writes beside it. Only ever tested on SQLite, which is exactly why this was invisible. **`RunSummary.status` was the constant "ok".** The orchestrator reads this JSON, so a run that dropped rows to errors, or decided them without the safety path, still reported success in the one field a consumer branches on. That is the same failure this module keeps fixing elsewhere: a field that looks like a verdict while measuring nothing. `finalize_status()` now derives it from the counts and names the reason. Note this makes every real run today report `degraded: N decided without the safety path`, because `NullSafetyGuard` is what ships and no row is ever evaluated. That is accurate rather than noisy — C genuinely runs without a safety path until the detector lands, and W8b's graph writer is required to refuse on exactly this signal. Also: - `envelope_sink_test` removes its temp directory; each method wrote envelopes containing chunk text and left the directory behind. - the harness contract test validates every golden row rather than the first 25; `main()` validates the whole selection, so a row past the cap could fail C.0 while the test still passed.
…the regression gate The last of the Module C plan that is not code: the package README, a runbook, the measured final metrics, the GSoC final report, and the CI gate that keeps the golden-set numbers from rotting. `.gitignore` blanket-ignores `*.md`, so the new docs need explicit negations — the same pattern `docs/Mid_eval_blog_gsoc2026/module_B_mideval_blog.md` already uses. Nothing else is un-ignored; gsoc-notes and other local markdown stay out. The regression workflow is deliberately hermetic: no DB, no key, no model download. The semantic reports (C.1 recall, C.2 top-1, the C.3 ECE gate, C.4 decision accuracy) need live CRE vectors, and seeding a candidate pool from golden text offline is exactly the leakage the hub firewall exists to strip — a CI job that "measured" them would be measuring nothing. What it does catch is the failure that actually bit this branch: a Module B schema change silently rejecting every row at the C.0 boundary. `final_metrics.md` records the numbers as measured, including the two that were missed. Top-1 is 75% against a planned 90%, and the write-up says why rather than rounding it away: W8's investigation tried thirteen reranker levers and all thirteen regressed, because 427 of 428 CREs have empty descriptions — a cross-encoder cannot cross-attend to a bare title. C.1 still reaches 98% recall over that same corpus, which localises the problem precisely. The path to 90% runs through populating CRE descriptions, not through a better reranker, and that is a corpus problem upstream of Module C. W9's selective reranking (250/319 vs the shipped 238) is documented as measured but deliberately unshipped: it needs two calibrators and held-out validation. Shipping it on in-sample numbers would be the same greenwashing this module spent four separate fixes removing.
The job failed on its first run: `virtualenv: not found`. `make install-python` builds a venv — which needs an apt `virtualenv` the other workflows install first — and then runs `playwright install`. Neither is used by a hermetic librarian run, and worse, the venv is never activated by the steps that follow, so they would have executed against a bare interpreter even had it built. Installs `requirements-dev.txt` straight into the runner's interpreter instead, which is what the two steps actually need, and drops the browser download. Also switched the unit step from pytest to `unittest discover`, matching how `make test` runs the suite in the existing Test job.
…gram fences - `actions/checkout` now sets `persist-credentials: false`. The job only reads the tree, so leaving the token in `.git/config` would expose it to anything the test run executes. - Tagged both ASCII pipeline diagrams as ```text (markdownlint MD040).

C was emitting envelopes to a JSONL file. Every other seam in the pipeline is a table — A hands B `harvest_input`, B hands C `knowledge_queue` — so C hands D `decision_queue`, and the handoff has the same shape as the one it receives: the producer inserts, the consumer sets `consumed_at`, nothing is ever deleted, and the table doubles as the audit trail of what was decided and what was done with it. **One table, both outcomes**, separated by `status`, exactly as B puts KNOWLEDGE and UNCERTAIN in one queue and lets its readers filter: linked LinkProposal — the graph writer's rows review_required ReviewItem with a reason_code — Module D's HITL rows `envelope` stores the whole RFC document, retrieval audit included, so a decision stays explainable long after the run. The columns beside it (`status`, `reason_code`, `review_id`, `confidence`) are projections for filtering, read back off that same document rather than being a second source of truth. **Idempotent by construction.** `ON CONFLICT (chunk_id, pipeline_run_id) DO NOTHING`, the same DB-level idempotence B relies on for `content_hash`, so a replayed run is a no-op rather than a duplicate or an aborted batch. Uniqueness is per (chunk, run) and not per chunk: B may legitimately re-offer a chunk in a later pipeline run, and that decision is its own record. Migration `e7c3b91d5a24` chains off `b5ac48010165`, main's single head, and leaves it single. A real run now writes `decision_queue` by default; `--librarian_envelopes_out` becomes an optional JSONL mirror rather than the handoff, via `TeeEnvelopeSink`. The tee reports the contract sink's count and only claims `persists` when every sink does — otherwise a run could retire rows on the strength of a copy that kept nothing. Adds `module_d_contract.md`, the counterpart to B's `module_c_contract.md`: the table column by column, who writes what, the reason codes, and the two things a validator needs to know — that absent optional fields are absent keys rather than nulls, and that the retrieval audit travels with the decision. 14 new tests against a real session: both outcomes land as filterable rows, the envelope is stored whole and null-free, a replay does not duplicate, a replay still counts as persisted (so consumption stays safe), and the same chunk in a later run is a new decision. 242 librarian tests pass.

… cross-run writes Three real defects, all on the live path. **An unmodellable row was re-read forever.** `DbKnowledgeSource.items()` catches `ValidationError` and continues, so a row B wrote that C cannot model never reaches the pipeline — and therefore never appears in `finished_row_ids()`, is never consumed, and comes back on the next run, and every run after that. The source now records those ids and the runner retires them: failing the model is a definitive refusal, exactly like a C.0 boundary rejection, and a row will not become modellable by being read a second time. They are counted in `skipped` rather than disappearing, and the row itself is never deleted, so the evidence survives for whoever has to fix the contract breach. **A blank `pipeline_run_id` drained everything.** `DbKnowledgeSource` applies the scope filter behind a truthiness test, so an empty or whitespace-only id skipped the filter entirely: the runner would read every unconsumed KNOWLEDGE row from every run, stamp `consumed_at` on all of them, and write the blank id onto every envelope. Unrecoverable once done, since the rows are retired under a provenance nobody can trace back. Now rejected at the entry point. **`DbEnvelopeSink` accepted envelopes from another run.** The row is keyed on `envelope.pipeline_run_id` while the runner consumes rows for the sink's run id. A mismatch writes the decision under one run and retires the source row under another, so `(chunk_id, pipeline_run_id)` uniqueness stops protecting anything. Now refused before any row is built, so a bad envelope writes nothing at all rather than leaving a half-inserted batch. Also documents what `JsonlEnvelopeSink` does and does not promise. It is a mirror for eyeballing a run, not the handoff: no cross-process coordination, no dedup on replay. `decision_queue` is the durable record and is idempotent per (chunk, run), and consumption turns on that insert rather than on the file — which is what makes the file's weaker guarantees acceptable rather than a hazard. 247 librarian tests pass. The poison-row test was verified to fail with the fix removed.

Several of these were marked resolved without the code actually changing, so this closes them properly. **Source-rejected rows were counted as skipped but not as read.** `result.stats.total` excludes them, since they never enter the pipeline, so a valid row plus an unmodellable one reported one read and two outcomes. Both counts now include them, and the test asserts `linked + skipped == read` rather than just a lower bound. **The identity test proved nothing about the envelope.** It ran a dry run, discarded the result, then re-read the row through `DbKnowledgeSource` and `section_from_queue_row` and asserted on that freshly derived section — bypassing the runner entirely. It now asserts on the envelope the runner actually handed to the sink, including that the run id is stamped from the run and that B's provenance survives. **Docs claimed 223 tests; there are 247.** Corrected in both places. **`UNCERTAIN` retirement was undocumented.** Both guides described the errored rule and left this out. Stated in the README and the runbook: C reads only `KNOWLEDGE`, so it never reads and never retires an `UNCERTAIN` row — the queue grows a tail nobody drains until Module D exists, and that is not C falling behind. **The live exit-status claim was too strong.** C.3 is the only gate a *live* run adds; the C.0.5 explicit slice and a collapsed C.0 boundary fail the run in either mode. **Postgres is unverified, and only the PR said so.** Now stated in the runbook and the final report, next to the B->C claim it qualifies. **The regression gate could be bypassed.** Workflow-only or dependency-only pushes did not trigger it; `librarian_regression.yml` and `requirements-dev.txt` are now in both path filters. 247 librarian tests pass.

Qualify the database requirement claim.
The live-queue validation uses SQLite. Replace “no database” with “no external database” or separate the hermetic test count from SQLite integration validation.
Based on learnings, SQLite validation uses the same SQLAlchemy models, types, and migration intended for SQLite and Postgres, while no real Postgres run has been completed.

Source: Learnings
Hi @northdpole — Week 8 of Module C, and the last of the plan. Weeks 1–6b built the decision pipeline against fixtures; this connects it to Module B's live
knowledge_queue, closes the two W8 notes left open on #991, and ships the docs, metrics and CI gate that close out the module.Off
main(#990 and #991 both merged). No migration, nodb.pychange: Module C owns no schema. Modules A and D are not touched.Overview
Module B writes rows to
knowledge_queue; nothing read them. C had a pipeline that ran end to end on a JSONL fixture and a queue mirror that no longer matched the table B actually merged.The problem. B's live table (#989) is substantially richer than the flat mirror C was built against. C modelled
source_repo/source_path/source_commit_shaand nothing else, so against the merged table it failed validation on 100% of real rows, had nochunk_idorartifact_idto carry, and could not represent an rss row at all.This PR's role. Reconcile the mirror against B's table, then add the two DB-facing ends the pipeline was missing — a live source on one side, the
consumed_atwrite-back on the other — plus the safety seam and the component factory the orchestrator (#996) needs. The pipeline itself stays persistence-free and hermetic.What changed
schemas.py,section_validator.py,knowledge_source.pyKnowledgeQueueItemmirrors B's table column for column — all 23, nothing dropped, nothing invented. Both provenance branches map: github (source_repo/source_commit_sha, locatorrepo_path) and rss (feed_url/post_guid, locatorfeed_item).chunk_id/artifact_idoriginate in Module A and are now used verbatim instead of synthesised.DbKnowledgeSourcereads B's own SQLAlchemy model rather than redeclaring the table.envelope_sink.py(new)JsonlEnvelopeSink(append-only, fsynced,persists=True) andNullEnvelopeSink(persists=False). W8b's graph writer becomes another implementation of the same protocol.queue_consumer.py(new)consumed_at. The only column C writes; never deletes.

1. A row is only retired if its envelope survived. Marking a row consumed tells B never to offer that chunk again; doing that while the envelope goes nowhere destroys the chunk. The runner refuses to stamp anything unless a sink reporting
persists=Trueaccepted the batch. Dry runs useNullEnvelopeSink, so a dry run can never consume.2. Errors and refusals are different. A row refused at the C.0 boundary is consumed — a definitive refusal, and re-reading a malformed row forever helps nobody. A row that errored mid-pipeline (embedding timeout, cross-encoder hiccup) is left unconsumed so the next run retries it.
RunStats.erroredstays separate fromskipped.UNCERTAINrows are never touched — they are Module D's, per the B→C contract (consumed_at IS NULL AND llm_label = 'KNOWLEDGE').Bugs found while measuring this branch
The eval harness was reporting success while grading nothing. Same #989 drift, harness side:
queue_row_from_goldenkept minting the old flat row, so all 319 golden rows were rejected at C.0 — and the run still exited 0, because with nothing validatedexplicit_totalstayed 0 and theif explicit_total:gate skipped itself. That is the skipped-gate-reports-success failure the C.3 gate was fixed for on #974. A boundary that rejects the whole dataset now fails with a message naming the likely cause.Envelopes failed the RFC schema Module D reads. The RFC types its optional fields as plain
"string"and leaves them out ofrequired, so an absent value must be an absent key. Pydantic's default dump wrote"repo": null— 81 validation errors on a realReviewItem. Fixed withexclude_none=True. No data is lost: those are exactly the columns B itself stores NULL per row type (github only; NULL for rssin its contract). The existing tests could not have caught it — "one JSON object per line" passes on a file whose every record is invalid.consumed_atwas written timezone-aware into a naive column (CodeRabbit). SQLite keeps the offset, Postgres drops it, and the contract says the UTC wall clock is stored naive. Now normalised. Invisible locally because only SQLite was exercised.RunSummary.statuswas the constant"ok"(CodeRabbit). The orchestrator branches on it, so a run that errored rows or skipped the safety path still reported success. Now derived from the counts. Note this means every real run today reportsdegraded: N decided without the safety path— accurate, becauseNullSafetyGuardis what ships and W8b's writer must refuse on exactly that signal.Results

final_metrics.md)Review recall is 5/5 — every chunk that should reach a human does, and the engine never wrongly auto-links something that needed review. Auto-link recall of 56% is the price at τ=0.80, and it is the safe direction.
The top-1 target was missed and the report says why. Thirteen reranker levers were tried in W8 and all thirteen regressed; C.2 as shipped scores net −7 against plain cosine. The cause is not the model — 427 of 428 CREs have empty
descriptionfields, and a cross-encoder cannot cross-attend to a bare title. C.1 still reaches 98% recall over that corpus, which localises it precisely. The path to 90% runs through populating CRE descriptions, upstream of Module C. W9's selective reranking (250/319) is documented as measured but unshipped: it needs held-out validation, and shipping on in-sample numbers would be the greenwashing this module spent four fixes removing.What is intentionally not here
safety_guard.py: a writer that commits links must refuse to run behind a guard reportingevaluated=False. Retiring a queue row without the safety path is recoverable — the envelope is on disk. Committing a wrong link into a graph other tools read as truth is not.Known limits
