From 555b67d6d6a9f574d7511f59e3f30f9f1fe128ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2026 20:57:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Report the streak that caused a pulse degradation, not the post-reset zero MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit PULSE_TRANSITION carried consecutive_passes read from the pulse after computePulseVerdict returned. The epoch boundary zeroes that counter as part of the transition, so every event reported passes=0 — including a degradation whose stated cause was uniform_passes, which fires only when the streak exceeds consecutive_passes_suspicion. The event asserted a cause and then reported a value contradicting it, leaving the claim unfalsifiable. Live run 19 recorded exactly that: "healthy -> degraded why=uniform_passes ... passes=0 degraded_streak=2". The streak is now preserved into passes_at_transition immediately before the reset. PU-05c asserts a uniform_passes degradation reports a streak above the configured threshold, so a regression to the post-reset read fails rather than printing a plausible zero.

That agent carries four per-agent CDD signal overrides, two of them added during this campaign to suppress structural false positives on code output — so the warning had two readings the run could not separate: a compliant agent, or an agent whose scoring signals were turned off. A config tuned until an agent stops being flagged, validated by a harness that passes when nothing is flagged, cannot tell those apart. The test holds behaviour fixed and varies only the override set. The overrides are exonerated: stagnant, off-mandate and degenerate output are caught identically with and without them, and neither config quarantines compliant code. The finding is elsewhere. Test erosion — code that stays fluent, on-mandate and non-repeating while shedding its tests turn by turn — is caught by NEITHER config, at coherence 1.0 with zero signals fired under the full shipped set. It is the living script's own observed failure mode and no CDD signal sees it, because it is not behavioural drift by any definition the 23 signals hold. The designed channel is S22 validation_outcome, which carries only what the orchestration script feeds it, and a pytest exit code is the ground truth erosion defeats: a suite with no tests left passes. DB-04 pins that negative so a signal that later catches it announces itself rather than passing quietly.

That is not what happened, and the log line caused the misreading. agentCommit derives output_admissible from a live checkOutputAdmissibility() call against the handle's CURRENT coherence — 0.51-0.53 by that point in run 7. The "score" in the returned admissibility dict is the propose-time candidate score and plays no part in the verdict. Printing it beside the word "inadmissible" presented the one number that did not decide the outcome as though it had. Now labelled propose_score, with the verdict's actual basis named and a pointer to the OUTPUT_INADMISSIBLE telemetry (source=agent.commit), which is the only place the deciding coherence and threshold are recorded — agent.commit()'s response omits both while including the score that did not matter.
