These three integration docs for Module B (Noise/Relevance Filter) were kept local / Slack-shared during Weeks 1–5. Committing them now so the contract surface lives in-repo alongside the code, reviewable by the maintainer and sister-module contributors. Reconciled against the current merged code and Module C's consumer (#1011) before committing:

  • Module A → B input contract (module_a_contract.md, v0.4): delivery updated from the superseded "JSONL file via cre.py --filter_changes" to the orchestrated hand-off — Module A writes to the harvest_input table (JSONB payload + pipeline_run_id + status); B reads via cre.py --run_noise_filter --run_id. rss locator.kind reserved value aligned to feed_item (matches C's consumer in week_8: Module C (The Librarian) — live B→C integration, docs, and the regression gate #1011).
  • Module B → C output contract (module_c_contract.md, v0.3): verified against week_8: Module C (The Librarian) — live B→C integration, docs, and the regression gate #1011, where C's KnowledgeQueueItem now mirrors knowledge_queue column-for-column and reads consumed_at IS NULL AND llm_label = 'KNOWLEDGE'. Corrected source_committed_at to String (ISO-8601, as B actually stores it; C parses on read).
  • Operator runbook (module_b_runbook.md, v0.2): migration d4e5f6a7b8c9 described as mid-chain (no longer the head; the pgvector CRE_EMBED_EXPECTED_DIM caveat still applies).

.gitignore gets three ! negations (the repo blanket-ignores *.md) — same pattern already used for module_B_mideval_blog.md. Docs-only; no code or schema changes.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c3281

This docs-only PR changes cross-module integration contracts and operator procedures, but the current text still contains conflicting consumer/schema claims, an unguarded migration procedure, a duplicate-processing path, and unsafe guidance for replay data that may contain sensitive content; these issues could cause incorrect processing or unsafe operations, so the PR is not merge-ready until corrected or explicitly accepted.

## Versioning

This contract is **v0.3** (draft). When ratified, becomes v1.0. semver applies:
- v1.X = additive, non-breaking field additions.
- v2.0 = breaking changes.

The version applies to *this contract*, not to Module A's release cadence.

A full from-empty `flask db upgrade` on Postgres runs the whole chain, creating
Module B's tables at migration `d4e5f6a7b8c9` (now mid-chain; the current head
moves as other modules add migrations after it — the from-empty upgrade still
reaches B's tables regardless). The earlier `uq_pair` duplicate-index bug is
fixed and merged. One caveat: **C's pgvector migration (`c7d8e9f0a1b2`)
requires `CRE_EMBED_EXPECTED_DIM` to be set** on an empty DB (it can't infer the
vector dimension with no embeddings yet) — a pre-existing requirement of that
migration, e.g. `CRE_EMBED_EXPECTED_DIM=3072 flask db upgrade`. Postgres needs

Run the Alembic guardrail before the documented upgrade.

The runbook instructs operators to run flask db upgrade without first running the required guardrail. Add make alembic-guardrail or python scripts/check_alembic_revision_guardrail.py before the upgrade command.

As per coding guidelines: “Before deployment or running flask db upgrade, run make alembic-guardrail or python scripts/check_alembic_revision_guardrail.py.”

- **Idempotency on retries:** un-marked rows keep `consumed_at IS NULL` and are picked up next poll. `UNIQUE(content_hash)` prevents B from inserting the same logical row twice.
- **Ordering:** FIFO by `created_at`; use `id` as a tiebreaker for identical timestamps.
- **Concurrent consumers:** `consumed_at IS NULL` + row-level `UPDATE ... WHERE consumed_at IS NULL` is safe; for multi-consumer, use `SELECT ... FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED`.

Do not describe concurrent consumption as safe without a claim step.

Two consumers can both execute the query at Lines 94-98 before either writes consumed_at. Both consumers can then map the same rows. The later UPDATE does not prevent duplicate mapping.

Make row claiming mandatory. Use an atomic claim token or processing state, or hold FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED through the mapping transaction. Document recovery for abandoned claims.

## UNCERTAIN row policy

- B writes `llm_label = 'UNCERTAIN'` when the LLM returned UNCERTAIN, or when the response failed to parse / the batch failed (confidence 0.0).
- **Recommended C behavior:** filter to `KNOWLEDGE` for normal mapping; UNCERTAIN rows are for Module D's HITL review.
- **If Module D isn't live yet:** C MAY treat UNCERTAIN as KNOWLEDGE (slightly higher false-positive rate); document the choice.

Remove the unsupported UNCERTAIN fallback or mark it as future behavior.

The contract states that Module C filters to llm_label = 'KNOWLEDGE', but this section also permits C to treat UNCERTAIN as KNOWLEDGE. That option does not match the shipped consumer and can send unreviewed rows into mapping. Keep UNCERTAIN for Module D, or define a new versioned C behavior before documenting this fallback.

Based on learnings: “In OWASP/OpenCRE Module C, DbKnowledgeSource._query() filters live knowledge_queue rows by llm_label == "KNOWLEDGE" before the C.0 boundary. Therefore, Module C never reads or retires UNCERTAIN rows; they remain for Module D, and an accumulating UNCERTAIN tail is expected until Module D exists.”

# Module B → Module C Output Contract

**Audience:** the GSoC 2026 contributor implementing Module C (The Librarian — vector + cross-encoder mapping of filtered knowledge chunks to existing CRE nodes). **Status:** draft **v0.3** (2026-08-16). Reconciled with the orchestrated-pipeline hand-off and with Module C's shipped consumer (PR #1011), which now mirrors this table column-for-column.
