M7: a first-class imported knowledge library
A campaign can import local .txt and .md files as Canon, Reference or Inspiration, and the class is load-bearing rather than a label: it decides the words a passage is framed with in the prompt, the weight it carries when passages are ranked, and which budget it competes in when the context is tight. This is a separate subsystem, which is the Phase 0B decision (IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md §73). Story Cards do not carry classification, provenance, content identity, chunking, an index or a lifecycle, and they were not promoted into something that does. Nothing here reads or writes one. The subsystem, in backend/app/knowledge/: classes the three classes, their weights, and the prompt framing chunking deterministic, heading-aware, 60-800 tokens, no overlap fts SQLite FTS5 with porter stemming; scoped and bounded in SQL importer validate, hash, store, chunk, index — in one transaction embeddings local Ollama vectors through the shared provider retrieval query construction, hybrid merge, rerank inject the budgeted cut and the rendered prompt sections Relevance admission is a separate stage from ranking, and that separation is the milestone's most expensive lesson. An independent review found the first implementation deciding relevance with a floor expressed as a share of the best candidate — which the best clears by construction — so a passage was admitted on every turn regardless of the scene. A query about tide tables and container tonnage retrieved all five sources of a fantasy campaign, narrator-only hidden Canon among them. So the pipeline is now: candidate generation -> admission -> ranking -> class weighting -> budget Admission reads raw, candidate-set-independent signals: the cosine the model returned, and how many distinct meaningful query terms a passage contains. Ranking reads normalized ones, because bm25 has no fixed range and cosine's zero is not zero. Normalization decides order among things that matched; it can never decide whether anything matched. Authority is applied after admission, so a class orders what matched and never rescues what did not. Retrieval may therefore return nothing, and on a scene unrelated to the library it does. The other decisions that each replaced an obvious wrong one: - The class multiplies relevance rather than adding to it. An additive bonus satisfies "Canon outranks Reference" and makes "do not include irrelevant Canon" impossible, because a large enough constant wins on its own. - The semantic floor is measured, not guessed: 113 production-path pairs against nomic-embed-text put targeted matches at 0.55-0.85 and off-topic pairs at 0.36-0.56, and 0.58 sits between them. Because it is a property of that model and not of cosine similarity, it is keyed to the model rather than applied to whatever is configured: an embedding model with no measured calibration in this build does not borrow the number. Semantic admission is skipped, the campaign retrieves lexically, and the reason is stated in the knowledge status and in the turn's provenance. Degrading to lexical keeps the library usable; lending the threshold to an unmeasured model is how the admitted-everything defect would return. - One lexical term is not evidence. Two distinct meaningful terms, or one that is neither a standing campaign entity nor a negligible share of the query. The stop list grew from 42 words to 261, all function words — no subject matter, because a stop list that removes subject matter stops finding "The Silver Key". - Lexical retrieval is a production path, not a fallback. It finds the proper nouns and invented terms a setting bible is made of, and the library is fully usable with no embedding model configured. Safety is structural rather than filtered. Imported text reaches the prompt whole, inside a section that says what it is, under a rule stating the authority order in words and refusing every instruction inside it. No endpoint accepts a filesystem path, so H08 has no mechanism to escape from. Nothing renders imported content as HTML, so a script tag is five visible characters and a remote image is never fetched. Import, chunking, indexing, retrieval and a turn open no socket at all; only embeddings do, through the endpoint allowlist the memory bank already uses. Provenance is the rendered text, not a foreign key: deleting a source cannot turn a historical turn's evidence into dangling ids. Schema: knowledge_sources, knowledge_chunks, knowledge_embeddings, and an FTS5 virtual table attached to knowledge_chunks as a DDL hook so it is created and dropped with the table it indexes. Migration 92. A pre-M7 database opens unchanged and needs no sources to play. Bundle: the source content and the reader's judgements about it travel; the passages, index rows and vectors are rebuilt on import, so a restored campaign is searchable immediately without a reindex step. One runtime dependency: python-multipart, Starlette's multipart parser. It is what makes the upload surface possible, and the upload surface is why no pathname is ever accepted. The test doubles were the reason the defect shipped, so they were corrected too. The retrieval stub scored unrelated text at 0.06-0.20 where the real model scores it at 0.43-0.44, and its docstring said it had deliberately removed the constant component that "would put a similarity floor under every pair" — which is exactly the property real models have. The stub now has that floor, one test fails if it is ever removed, and another reproduces the superseded rule and asserts it is still fooled by the same fixture. Run against the pre-corrective implementation, the new suite fails 13 of 18. Tests: 939 passed, 14 skipped (836/7 at M6). 110 new across seven files, one of which mocks nothing between itself and Ollama and re-measures the similarity separation on every run. 43/43 checks in a real Firefox, reproduced. Docker build clean. Four other defects found by review or by the browser run were fixed here rather than carried: an unreachable relevance constant that appeared to enforce something and did not; acceptance tests using the wrong fixture files, so G07's trap was never exercised; a bidirectional override surviving into displayed filenames; and, from the implementation pass, the Insights panel showing M5's two state sections as raw keys and the source inspector refetching on every keystroke. M7 was independently reviewed, which returned PASS WITH CORRECTIVE WORK REQUIRED. Both blocking findings are closed, and closeout resolved the embedding-model calibration boundary the corrective pass had left as debt. planning/reports/M7-IMPLEMENTATION-REPORT.md carries the review, the corrective closeout and the closeout verification in sequence, none overwriting another.

**Capabilities M7 delivered, which later milestones inherit rather than build:**
|
||||
|
||||
- a **first-class imported knowledge library** — `.txt`/`.md` import, Canon /
|
||||
Reference / Inspiration classification that decides prompt framing, ranking
|
||||
weight and budget rather than labelling a list, enable/disable/delete, content
|
||||
hashing, deterministic heading-aware chunking, SQLite FTS5, local Ollama
|
||||
embeddings, hybrid retrieval, campaign isolation and a source inspector;
|
||||
- **relevance admission separated from ranking**, so retrieval can return
|
||||
nothing (§13.2 of `TECHNICAL-DESIGN.md`);
|
||||
- **prompt provenance that survives its source** — the rendered text travels in
|
||||
the turn's snapshot, so deleting a source cannot orphan a historical prompt;
|
||||
- **imported text framed as untrusted data** with the authority order stated in
|
||||
words, verified against a real narrator;
|
||||
- **an import surface that accepts no filesystem path at all**, so H08 is
|
||||
satisfied by the absence of the mechanism.
|
||||
|
||||
The two blocking findings the review raised, both closed:
|
||||
|
||||
- **M7-F1 — retrieval had no effective no-match gate.** Relevance was decided by
|
||||
a floor expressed as a share of the best candidate, which the best clears by
|
||||
construction, so a passage was admitted on every turn regardless of the scene.
|
||||
A query about tide tables retrieved all five sources of a fantasy campaign,
|
||||
hidden Canon among them. Corrected by separating **relevance admission** from
|
||||
**ranking**: admission now uses raw, candidate-set-independent signals, and
|
||||
retrieval may return nothing. `TECHNICAL-DESIGN.md` §13.2 records the lesson.
|
||||
- **M7-F2 — the retrieval suite could not detect F1.** Its stub embedder scored
|
||||
unrelated text at 0.06-0.20 where the real model scores it at 0.43-0.44, so
|
||||
the broken gate passed. Corrected with a stub that has a deliberate similarity
|
||||
floor, plus a test that fails if the floor is ever removed and one that
|
||||
demonstrates the superseded rule still being fooled by the same fixture.
|
||||
|
||||
What was built, beyond the scope list above:
|
||||
|
||||
- **The classification is load-bearing, not a label.** It decides the framing a
|
||||
passage is given in the prompt, the weight it carries in ranking, and which
|
||||
budget it competes in. `classes.py` is the single place all three read.
|
||||
- **Lexical retrieval is a production path.** SQLite FTS5 with porter stemming,
|
||||
campaign- and enabled-scoped in SQL, bounded by a `LIMIT` before any Python
|
||||
ranking runs. The library is fully usable with no embedding model configured,
|
||||
and a dead inference host costs the semantic half and nothing else.
|
||||
- **Relevance admission is a separate stage from ranking** (added by the
|
||||
corrective pass). Admission reads raw signals — the cosine the model returned,
|
||||
and how many distinct meaningful query terms a passage contains — so it can
|
||||
answer "nothing matched". Ranking reads normalized ones, because `bm25` has no
|
||||
fixed range and a real embedding model scores any two pieces of English around
|
||||
0.3-0.6. The semantic floor is measured against the production model and
|
||||
recorded beside the constant.
|
||||
- **The class multiplies relevance rather than adding to it**, which is what
|
||||
makes "relevant Canon outranks equally relevant Reference" and "irrelevant
|
||||
Canon does not win on class alone" both true.
|
||||
- **Provenance is the rendered text, not a foreign key.** A turn's knowledge
|
||||
record carries what the narrator was actually shown, so deleting a source
|
||||
cannot turn historical evidence into dangling ids.
|
||||
- **The import surface accepts no pathname at all**, so H08 is satisfied by the
|
||||
absence of the mechanism rather than by a check that could be bypassed.
|
||||
|
||||
Debt carried forward, deliberately:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Entity linking, tags, manual priority and scene pinning** are not
|
||||
implemented (`IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §33-36). Entity and place names do
|
||||
reach the retrieval query, because it is built partly from the authoritative
|
||||
state, but there is no explicit source-to-entity link.
|
||||
- **Conflict detection between two Canon sources** (§42) is not implemented.
|
||||
Two Canon sources that disagree are both retrieved and both framed as Canon.
|
||||
- **Source versioning** (§14, §43) is not implemented. A duplicate is refused
|
||||
with a conflict, or imported deliberately as a second source; there is no
|
||||
supersession chain.
|
||||
- **Canon scope metadata** — `invariant / initial / descriptive / historical`
|
||||
(§45) — is not implemented. Current-state precedence stands in its place,
|
||||
which §45 itself permits for v1.
|
||||
- **The semantic scan is linear** over the campaign's vectors, capped at 4,000
|
||||
passages, with the shortfall reported rather than hidden. There is no
|
||||
approximate-nearest-neighbour index in v1.
|
||||
- **The semantic admission floor is calibrated for one embedding model, and the
|
||||
product now knows that.** `nomic-embed-text` was measured over 113
|
||||
production-path pairs. An uncalibrated model does **not** inherit the number:
|
||||
semantic retrieval is skipped for it and the library degrades to lexical-only
|
||||
with the reason reported (`TECHNICAL-DESIGN.md` §13.3). What remains open is
|
||||
only the *enhancement* — calibrating further models, each a measurement rather
|
||||
than a guess. The cost meanwhile is a conceptual-only paraphrase going
|
||||
unretrieved under an uncalibrated model, which is a missing passage rather
|
||||
than an irrelevant one.
|
||||
- **M8:** the knowledge panel and the Insights knowledge rows are functional,
|
||||
not designed. Two labels missing from the Insights section table since M5 were
|
||||
added while M7 was in that file; the rest of the panel's design is M8's. M8
|
||||
should also consider how a "nothing was relevant enough" result and an
|
||||
uncalibrated-model warning should look — both are surfaced plainly today.
|
||||
|
||||
Two defects were found by the browser run and fixed in this pass rather than
|
||||
carried:
|
||||
|
||||
- The Insights panel rendered `state_rule` and `state_reminder` as raw keys,
|
||||
because M5's two sections were never added to the label table.
|
||||
- The open source inspector refetched the source on every render of the Play
|
||||
screen, which re-renders on every keystroke in the story box — 38 needless
|
||||
requests for a 38-character sentence. The reporter callback was in the
|
||||
effect's dependencies and arrives as a fresh function each render. The
|
||||
browser suite gained a check that types and counts requests; it was verified
|
||||
to fail against the unfixed code before the fix was kept.
|
||||
- **M9:** the bundle carries knowledge sources but still carries no context
|
||||
snapshots, so an imported campaign has no historical prompt provenance for any
|
||||
component — which is what a pre-M7 bundle already did for every other one.

## 76. As Implemented in M7
|
||||
|
||||
Everything §74 lists as required for v1 is built, and every capability §74 lists
|
||||
as "strongly preferred and planned" is built as well. What follows records what
|
||||
was chosen where this document offered options, and what was deliberately left
|
||||
out. It does not weaken any requirement above.
|
||||
|
||||
### Storage (§11, §14)
|
||||
|
||||
Source text lives **in SQLite**, on the source row. The alternative this document
|
||||
also permits — an application-owned file area with the database as metadata
|
||||
authority — was rejected as more machinery for no benefit at this scale: one
|
||||
transaction covers the source, its passages and its index, so a failed import
|
||||
cannot leave a file with no row or a row with no file; the export carries the
|
||||
content with no second archive format; and there is no directory whose contents
|
||||
can drift out of step with the rows describing it. Sources are capped at 1 MiB.
|
||||
|
||||
Source versioning (§14, §43) is **not** implemented. The v1 model is the simpler
|
||||
one this document permits: a duplicate is refused with a conflict naming the
|
||||
source that already holds the content, and the reader may deliberately import a
|
||||
second copy. There is no supersession chain and no version history.
|
||||
|
||||
### Chunking (§15-§17)
|
||||
|
||||
Deterministic, heading-aware, no overlap. A heading boundary closes a passage
|
||||
only once it has reached 60 tokens; below that the packer runs through the
|
||||
boundary and writes every heading it crosses into the passage text, so a
|
||||
reference document of one-line sections becomes usable passages instead of a
|
||||
hundred fragments. The ceiling is 800 tokens and a longer paragraph is split at
|
||||
sentence boundaries.
|
||||
|
||||
Overlap (§15) was declined rather than forgotten: it duplicates text into a
|
||||
bounded budget, and the redundancy suppressor downstream exists to notice two
|
||||
passages saying the same thing — which is what overlap manufactures. The heading
|
||||
trail gives each passage its context without duplicating any of it.
|
||||
`CHUNKING_VERSION` is how a change to any of this would be rolled out.
|
||||
|
||||
### Retrieval (§26, §29, §30) — corrected after independent review
|
||||
|
||||
Relevance is decided **before** authority and **before** any comparison between
|
||||
candidates, which is what makes §30's two requirements compatible. The first
|
||||
implementation ranked first and cut at a share of the best candidate; that cannot
|
||||
reject anything, because the best always clears a share of itself, so irrelevant
|
||||
Canon reached every prompt. `TECHNICAL-DESIGN.md` §13.2 records the architecture
|
||||
and the general lesson.
|
||||
|
||||
Admission uses signals with meaning of their own:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
semantic raw cosine >= a measured, model-specific floor
|
||||
lexical >= 2 distinct meaningful terms, or exactly 1 that is neither the
|
||||
name of a standing campaign entity nor a negligible share of the
|
||||
query
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Retrieval may return nothing**, and on a scene unrelated to the library it
|
||||
does. That is required behaviour, not a degenerate case: §30's "do not include
|
||||
irrelevant Canon merely because it is authoritative" has no other meaning when
|
||||
*every* source is irrelevant.
|
||||
|
||||
The semantic floor is **calibrated per embedding model**. It was measured
|
||||
against `nomic-embed-text`; a model this build has not measured does not inherit
|
||||
the number, and semantic retrieval is skipped for it with the reason reported,
|
||||
leaving lexical retrieval — a first-class path under §23-24 — to carry the
|
||||
library. §25's "generate embeddings locally, preferably through Ollama" is
|
||||
unchanged; what is added is that a *similarity threshold* is model-specific and
|
||||
must be measured before it is trusted. `TECHNICAL-DESIGN.md` §13.3 records the
|
||||
policy and what it costs.
|
||||
|
||||
Hybrid, and the ranking among survivors is:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
relevance = max(lexical, semantic) + 0.15 x min(lexical, semantic)
|
||||
score = relevance x class weight canon 1.00 ref 0.85 insp 0.70
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Both inputs are normalized against the best surviving value of their own path,
|
||||
because `bm25` has no fixed range and cosine's zero is not zero. The class
|
||||
**multiplies** relevance rather than adding to it, so it can order what matched
|
||||
and can never rescue what did not.
|
||||
|
||||
Entity linking (§33), tags (§34), manual priority (§35) and scene pinning (§36)
|
||||
are **not** implemented. Entity and place names do reach the query, because it is
|
||||
built partly from the authoritative state, but there is no explicit link and no
|
||||
tag. §36's recommended v1 minimum — always-include for critical Canon — is built.
|
||||
|
||||
Conflict detection between two Canon sources (§42) is **not** implemented. Two
|
||||
Canon sources that disagree are both retrieved and both framed as Canon.
|
||||
|
||||
### Scope metadata (§45)
|
||||
|
||||
`invariant / initial / descriptive / historical` is **not** implemented. §45
|
||||
itself says explicit current-state precedence may be sufficient for v1, and that
|
||||
is what was built: the authoritative state is emitted after the imported
|
||||
sections and the knowledge rule states in words that an imported file was
|
||||
written before the story ran, so where the two disagree the state is right.
|
||||
|
||||
### Failure and observability (§57, §58)
|
||||
|
||||
Import is one transaction: a failure leaves no source, no passages and no index
|
||||
rows, and never touches the reader's file. Retrieval is gated on
|
||||
`index_state = "ready"`, so even a hypothetical partial commit would be inert
|
||||
rather than wrong. The lexical and semantic halves report separately, per source
|
||||
and per campaign, because "the vectors failed" and "the index failed" have
|
||||
different consequences and only one of them stops the library working.
|
||||
|
||||
### Search UI (§62) and chunk editing (§63)
|
||||
|
||||
Neither is implemented; both are explicitly optional here. The source inspector
|
||||
shows the full text and every passage, which §62 accepts as adequate.

### 13.2 Relevance admission is a separate stage from ranking
|
||||
|
||||
**This is M7's most expensive lesson and it generalises beyond knowledge
|
||||
retrieval.** M7 shipped with only a ranking stage: both scores were normalized
|
||||
against the best candidate of their own path, and the relevance floor was
|
||||
expressed as a share of that best. A floor defined as a share of the best is
|
||||
structurally incapable of rejecting anything, because the best candidate clears
|
||||
a share of itself by construction. With the semantic path scoring every embedded
|
||||
chunk there was always a best, so **something was admitted on every turn**

||||

||||
retrieved all five sources of a fantasy campaign, narrator-only hidden Canon
|
||||
among them.
|
||||
|
||||
The rule that follows:
|
||||
|
||||
> A relevance decision must be made on a signal that means something on its own.
|
||||
> Normalization answers "which of these is best"; it can never answer "is any of
|
||||
> these any good". A pipeline that ranks first and cuts second has no way to
|
||||
> return nothing.
|
||||
|
||||
So the two stages are separated, and they consume different quantities:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Admission** reads the *raw* signals — the cosine the model returned, and how
|
||||
many distinct meaningful query terms a passage contains. Neither is computed
|
||||
by comparison with the other candidates.
|
||||
- **Ranking** reads the *normalized* signals, because `bm25` has no fixed range
|
||||
and cosine's zero is not zero, so the two paths are not otherwise comparable.
|
||||
It decides order among things that matched.
|
||||
|
||||
Authority is applied in the second stage only. That is what makes
|
||||
`IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §30's two consecutive sentences —
|
||||
`Canon > Reference > Inspiration`, and "do not include irrelevant Canon merely
|
||||
because it is authoritative" — compatible rather than contradictory: the class
|
||||
orders what matched and can never rescue what did not.
|
||||
|
||||
An absolute threshold on an embedding similarity is a property of the model, not
|
||||
of the product, so it is measured, written down beside the constant, and
|
||||
re-measured by a real-model test on every run that has one — the same discipline
|
||||
`memorybank.REDUNDANT_SIMILARITY` already follows.
|
||||
|
||||
### 13.3 Semantic admission is calibrated per embedding model
|
||||
|
||||
**Semantic admission is calibrated for `nomic-embed-text`; uncalibrated
|
||||
embedding models fall back safely rather than borrowing its threshold.**
|
||||
|
||||
The threshold is therefore **not portable**, and the two ways a different model
|
||||
can break it are not symmetric. A model whose similarity scale sits *below* the
|
||||
calibrated one admits nothing and degrades to lexical-only, which is a supported
|
||||
path. A model whose scale sits *above* it would put unrelated material past the
|
||||
threshold and reproduce the M7-F1 defect on a build whose tests all pass.
|
||||
|
||||
So the product does not apply a threshold to a model it has not measured:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
SEMANTIC_CALIBRATION = {"nomic-embed-text": 0.58}
|
||||
|
||||
calibrated model -> semantic admission at its measured floor
|
||||
uncalibrated model -> semantic retrieval skipped entirely, reason reported,
|
||||
retrieval degrades to lexical-only
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The model's identity is the one already stored on each vector row, so no second
|
||||
mechanism was introduced, and an uncalibrated configuration reports
|
||||
`semantic_enabled: false` rather than claiming a semantic index that is never
|
||||
consulted. Adding a model is a measurement — run the real-model retrieval test
|
||||
against it and confirm the targeted and off-topic populations separate — not a
|
||||
guess. Generic cross-model calibration is out of scope for v1.
|
||||
|
||||
The cost is stated rather than hidden: under an uncalibrated model a
|
||||
conceptual-only paraphrase is not retrieved. That is a missing passage rather
|
||||
than an irrelevant one, which is the direction this product prefers to fail in.
|
||||
|
||||
Four decisions are worth recording, because each replaced an obvious wrong one:
|
||||
|
||||
- **The class multiplies relevance; it does not add to it.** An additive class
|
||||
bonus satisfies "Canon outranks Reference" and makes "do not include
|
||||
irrelevant Canon" impossible, because a large enough constant wins alone.
|
||||
- **Both retrieval scores are normalized per query, against the best of their
|
||||
own path — for ranking only.** `bm25` has no fixed range; cosine's zero is not zero, and a real
|
||||
embedding model scores any two pieces of English around 0.3-0.6. Blended raw,
|
||||
a lexical hit beats every semantic hit on every query.
|
||||
- **Admission does not use those normalized values at all.** A normalized score
|
||||
cannot express "no match", which was M7's blocking defect; the correction is
|
||||
the two-stage separation §13.2 records.
|
||||
- **Lexical retrieval is a production path**, not a fallback. It is what finds
|
||||
proper nouns and invented terms — most of what a setting bible is made of —
|
||||
and the library is fully usable with no embedding model at all.
|
||||
|
||||
Abandoned-path safety is met at the query rather than by a lineage coordinate on
|
||||
the source, because an imported file has no lineage: the query is built from
|
||||
`context.history.tail`, which reads through the head-capped clause, and from
|
||||
`adventures.narrative_state`, which head movement repoints. Nothing reads the

uncapped action table.

|

## v3.0 — M7 Closeout (2026-09-06)
|
||||
|
||||
M7 is complete. Two items the corrective pass had left open are resolved.
|
||||
|
||||
**The embedding-model calibration boundary.** `SEMANTIC_FLOOR = 0.58` was
|
||||
measured against `nomic-embed-text`, and the corrective pass documented only the
|
||||
safe half of that: a model scoring everything lower degrades to lexical-only. A
|
||||
model scoring unrelated material *higher* would have recreated M7-F1 on a build
|
||||
whose tests all pass. Semantic admission is now **per model**: an uncalibrated
|
||||
model does not inherit the threshold, semantic retrieval is skipped for it with
|
||||
the reason reported, and the library degrades to lexical-only. Recorded in
|
||||
`TECHNICAL-DESIGN.md` §13.3 and `IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §76.
|
||||
|
||||
**The ambiguous `export/import 53/54`.** The 54th case was a false positive in
|
||||
the independent review's own harness — its "no filesystem path" assertion was a
|
||||
substring test that fired on `text/markdown`, a MIME type. Replaced with three
|
||||
precise checks; the suite is **56/56** and no product behaviour was involved.
|
||||
|
||||
**What closeout changed in the active documents:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `TECHNICAL-DESIGN.md` §13.3 — **new.** A similarity threshold is a property of
|
||||
the model, the two ways a different model breaks it are not symmetric, and the
|
||||
product refuses to apply a threshold to a model it has not measured.
|
||||
- `IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §76 — the same, in the design's own terms:
|
||||
§25's local-Ollama embedding stands; what is added is that a *threshold* must
|
||||
be measured before it is trusted.
|
||||
- `BUILD-MILESTONES.md` M7 — marked COMPLETE, with the capabilities later
|
||||
milestones inherit and the debt carried forward, including that calibrating
|
||||
further embedding models is a measurement rather than a guess.
|
||||
- `V1-ACCEPTANCE-TESTS.md` — the M7 results promoted from implementation-pass
|
||||
evidence to reviewed results.
|
||||
|
||||
## v2.9 — M7 Independent Review and Corrective Pass (2026-09-06)
|
||||
|
||||
The review returned *PASS WITH CORRECTIVE WORK REQUIRED*. It closed the five
|
||||
acceptance conditions the implementation had flagged as unmeasured — C05, G06,
|
||||
G07, G10 and hidden Canon, all exercised against a real narrator and all
|
||||
passing — and found two blocking defects, both now corrected.
|
||||
|
||||
**M7-F1 — imported knowledge was injected regardless of relevance.** Relevance
|
||||
was decided by a floor expressed as a share of the best candidate, which the
|
||||
best clears by construction. A query about tide tables and container tonnage
|
||||
retrieved all five sources of a fantasy campaign, narrator-only hidden Canon
|
||||
among them. Corrected by separating relevance **admission** from **ranking**.
|
||||
|
||||
**M7-F2 — the retrieval suite could not detect it.** Its stub scored unrelated
|
||||
text an order of magnitude lower than the real model, so the broken gate passed.
|
||||
Corrected with a stub that has the real model's similarity floor, plus a test
|
||||
that fails if the floor is removed and one that shows the superseded rule still
|
||||
being fooled. The new suite fails 13/18 against the pre-corrective code.
|
||||
|
||||
**What the corrective pass forced into the active documents:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `TECHNICAL-DESIGN.md` §13.2 — **new.** Relevance admission is a separate stage
|
||||
from ranking, and the general rule behind it: a relevance decision must rest on
|
||||
a signal meaningful on its own, because normalization answers "which of these
|
||||
is best" and can never answer "is any of these any good". A pipeline that ranks
|
||||
first and cuts second has no way to return nothing.
|
||||
- `TECHNICAL-DESIGN.md` §13.1 — the pipeline diagram gains the admission stage.
|
||||
- `IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §76 — retrieval corrected: admission before
|
||||
authority, and the plain statement that **retrieval may return nothing**,
|
||||
which is what §30 means when every source is irrelevant.
|
||||
- `BUILD-MILESTONES.md` M7 § Status — both findings, their corrections, and the
|
||||
model-specific calibration recorded as carried debt.
|
||||
|
||||
Three non-blocking findings were folded in: a relevance constant that could
|
||||
never fire was removed rather than re-tuned; the acceptance tests moved to the
|
||||
standard `TEST-CAMPAIGN-FIXTURE.md` §12 files so G07's trap is finally
|
||||
exercised; and Unicode format characters are stripped from displayed filenames.
|
||||
A pre-existing M5 narrator-protocol issue was recorded and deliberately left
|
||||
with M5.
|
||||
|
||||
## v2.8 — M7 Implementation Pass (2026-09-06)
|
||||
|
||||
**Not a closeout.** M7 is implemented, not accepted, and this revision records
|
||||
what the implementation pass built and measured so that an independent review
|
||||
has something to verify against. No milestone report was written: the
|
||||
convention this package follows puts the report in `reports/` and has the
|
||||
*reviewer* write it, treating the build summary as claims to check.
|
||||
|
||||
**M7 — First-Class Imported Knowledge Library.** A campaign can import local
|
||||
`.txt` and `.md` files as Canon, Reference or Inspiration; retrieval is hybrid
|
||||
(SQLite FTS5 plus local Ollama embeddings), reranked by relevance × class,
|
||||
bounded by its own token budget, framed in the prompt as untrusted data with the
|
||||
authority order stated in words, and fully traceable in the Insights panel. It is
|
||||
a separate subsystem: AI-DnD's Story Cards were not promoted into it and are
|
||||
untouched.
|
||||
|
||||
**What implementation forced into the active documents:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `TECHNICAL-DESIGN.md` §13.1 — **new.** The implemented pipeline, and four
|
||||
decisions that each replaced an obvious wrong one: the class multiplies
|
||||
relevance rather than adding to it; both retrieval scores are normalized per
|
||||
query against the best of their own path; the relevance floor is therefore
|
||||
relative rather than absolute; and lexical retrieval is a production path
|
||||
rather than a fallback.
|
||||
- `DATA-MODEL.md` §24A — **new.** The three tables and the FTS5 virtual table,
|
||||
and the line between what the reader gave the campaign and what the machine
|
||||
derived from it. Only a source's content and its classification are not
|
||||
derivable.
|
||||
- `DATA-MODEL.md` §25 — the retrieval record is **not** a table. It lives in the
|
||||
turn's own context snapshot and carries the *rendered text*, because a table of
|
||||
foreign keys would turn every historical turn's evidence into dangling
|
||||
references the moment a source were deleted.
|
||||
- `DATA-MODEL.md` §29 — what the bundle carries for imported knowledge, and why
|
||||
passages, index rows and vectors are rebuilt rather than exported.
|
||||
- `CONTEXT-AND-MEMORY.md` §29, §41-42, §46 — the knowledge budget as implemented
|
||||
(a protected cap for always-included Canon, a share of the rest filled in
|
||||
authority order), always-include as a Canon-only mechanism, and hidden Canon as
|
||||
prompt discipline rather than as filtering.
|
||||
- `IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §76 — **new.** Where this document offered
|
||||
options, which was chosen and why; and, named rather than left to be
|
||||
discovered, the six things it contemplates that M7 does **not** implement —
|
||||
entity linking, tags, manual priority, scene pinning, Canon-versus-Canon
|
||||
conflict detection, and source versioning.
|
||||
- `V1-ACCEPTANCE-TESTS.md` — results for G01-G10, C05, F05, F06, I05 and
|
||||
H06-H09, marked as implementation-pass evidence rather than review findings.
|
||||
F05 and F06 move from *PARTIAL / PASS for story memory* to complete. H09 is
|
||||
recorded NOT APPLICABLE with a test that fails if an archive extractor is ever
|
||||
added to this surface. **C05 is recorded as a pass on the assembled prompt
|
||||
with the gap stated**: no real narrator generation was run against it.
|
||||
- `BUILD-MILESTONES.md` M7 § Status — **new.** What was built beyond the scope
|
||||
list, and the debt carried forward, deliberately.
|
||||
|
||||
**One runtime dependency was added**: `python-multipart`, Starlette's multipart
|
||||
parser. It is what makes the upload surface possible, and the upload surface is
|
||||
why no endpoint in the knowledge API accepts a filesystem path.
