From 61424370bdb3a1801819cdca662caad91c8d71f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "russell@unturf.com" Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 16:47:02 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] #000037 Phase 3 dry-run + Phases 0/1/2 status flip MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Phases 1 (controller) and 2 (sibling-table audit writes) landed in prior commits. This commit adds the Phase 3 dry-run simulator instead of the actual sleep-sweep scheduler, since Phase 3's value is mostly in what we'd learn from running it — and the dry-run captures those findings without committing to a scheduler design prematurely. bench/scripts/prometheus_sigma_sweep_dryrun.py — read-only simulator that classifies §3 Target A (providence_cache) + Target B (documents) sweep candidates, synthesizes ControllerBranches from real shard data, runs the Phase 1 controller, reports decision distribution + Phase-3-design findings. No LLM calls, no mutations. make prometheus-sweep-dryrun — produces a dated markdown report at bench/results/prometheus-sigma-sweep-dryrun-YYYY-MM-DD.md. Five findings surfaced by three dry-run iterations against the live ~/.arborist/shards corpus (3.5M docs + 2839 providence_cache rows) — captured in ticket §22: 1. chunk-size dominates Kelly threshold (must = Hermes concurrency, not candidate pool) 2. flat capital_cost blocks every allocation (split kernel-cost vs LLM-cost on the contract) 3. τ_qa=7d filters every CANONICAL_PROJECTION row (all 29 are <7d old; need per-audit-mode τ) 4. Target B canonical-shape detection is the real headline (~152K candidates extrapolated; controller correctly returns MARGINAL on shape-match chunks) 5. quarantined rows correctly veto via cache_drift hard-veto Mean per-branch controller latency in dry-run: 12.5 µs at chunk_size=4. Phase 3's actual bottleneck is the witness fan-out (Hermes calls), not the controller itself. Ticket #000037 status flipped to in-progress with Phases 0+1+2 landed; Phase 3 scheduler remains future work but is informed by the five findings. --- Makefile | 15 + ...rometheus-sigma-sweep-dryrun-2026-05-10.md | 112 +++ .../scripts/prometheus_sigma_sweep_dryrun.py | 850 ++++++++++++++++++ docs/TICKETS.md | 2 +- ...igma-recursive-falsification-controller.md | 73 +- 5 files changed, 1049 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 bench/results/prometheus-sigma-sweep-dryrun-2026-05-10.md create mode 100644 bench/scripts/prometheus_sigma_sweep_dryrun.py diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index fa02f14..c8f78cf 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -240,6 +240,21 @@ prometheus-trigger-probe: bootstrap ## #000037 §12 measured-pressure probe → --shards-dir $(SHARDS_DIR) \ --out $(PROMETHEUS_PROBE_OUT) +# Prometheus-Σ Phase 3 sleep-sweep dry-run (ticket #000037).

Kelly's `f_i = max(0, (p_i·b − q_i)/b)` requires `p_i > 0.5`; with 64 branches in a softmax, no single branch reaches that mass. Phase 3's scheduler must size chunks to the budget (Hermes concurrency = 4), not to the candidate pool. Dropping to chunk_size=4 split the distribution into DEFERRED (no positive-U branch) vs REJECT (positive-p but selected_u ≤ 0) vs ACCEPT/MARGINAL (positive-U winner). + +**Finding 2 — flat capital_cost = no allocation.** Iteration 1 also assigned `capital_cost=1.0` to every branch (one full Hermes call). Combined with small audit-mode-based Δ5F deltas (±0.05–0.10), every utility was negative. Split kernel-only re-probe cost from full LLM-witness cost: `CANONICAL_PROJECTION=0.05`, `UNGROUNDED=0.4`, `HYBRID=0.8`, `STRICT=1.0` for Target A; `0.02` (HEAD-only freshness) vs `0.05` (canonical-shape probe) for Target B. Recommendation for Phase 3: model `capital_cost` as the expected cost given which witness paths fire (kernel / lexical / LLM), not a flat per-call estimate. + +**Finding 3 — τ_qa=7d filters out every CANONICAL_PROJECTION row.** All 29 CP rows in `qa.db` are ≤ 7 days old (they're the recent π* graduations from tickets #000027/#000030/#000032). Sweep with τ_qa=7d shows zero CP candidates → zero ACCEPT chunks → zero high-value sleep work surfaced. Phase 3 should split τ by audit_mode: kernel-only modes (CP) get τ_qa=1d (cheap to re-probe, high value when kernel-LLM divergence surfaces); lexical/quote modes (STRICT/HYBRID/UNGROUNDED) stay at τ_qa=7d (expensive LLM calls). + +**Finding 4 — canonical-shape Target B is the real headline.** 4.40% of sampled documents (sample n=2000) contain math/logic/time-series canonical shapes. Extrapolated to ~152K candidates across 3.5M docs in shards. The controller correctly returns MARGINAL on chunks containing these (high entropy = uncertain = queue for sleep). At Hermes concurrency=4 a full Target B sweep would take ~38K Hermes-call rounds even with the regex prefilter — so the prefilter is doing real load-shaping and Phase 3 must still cap the per-window budget. + +**Finding 5 — 2 quarantined rows correctly vetoed.** The two `falsification_state='quarantined'` rows in `qa.db` surfaced as `cache_drift` hard-vetoes. The veto path is exercised end-to-end against real corpus data, no fixture-only mocking. + +**Recommendations for the eventual Phase 3 scheduler:** + +1. Per-audit-mode τ + per-audit-mode cost class (split kernel-cost from LLM-cost on the input contract — consider adding `kernel_cost` + `llm_cost` fields to `ControllerBranch` in a v2 dataclass). +2. Chunk size = Hermes concurrency (4 today, governance param going forward). +3. Sweep-specific weight profile (gamma_5f bumped, lambda_capital_cost dropped) since sweep work is deliberately accepting capital cost in exchange for falsification discovery. +4. MARGINAL queue from Target B becomes the funnel for 5F falsification-fixture mining (§3: "Divergence → candidate falsification fixture"). +5. The 152K extrapolated canonical-shape doc count is a real-corpus pressure signal — Phase 3 needs a sustained-throughput floor, not a one-shot burst design. diff --git a/bench/scripts/prometheus_sigma_sweep_dryrun.py b/bench/scripts/prometheus_sigma_sweep_dryrun.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7421285 --- /dev/null +++ b/bench/scripts/prometheus_sigma_sweep_dryrun.py @@ -0,0 +1,850 @@ +"""Prometheus-Σ Phase 3 sleep-sweep dry-run simulator (ticket #000037). + +Reads existing shards under ``~/.arborist/shards/``, classifies sweep +candidates per §3 Target A (``providence_cache``) and §3 Target B +(``documents``), synthesizes a :class:`ControllerBranch` per candidate +from already-committed data, and runs the Phase 1 controller.

Phase 3 (the actual sleep-sweep +scheduler) is deliberately not landed — but a read-only dry-run +simulator (`bench/scripts/prometheus_sigma_sweep_dryrun.py`, `make +prometheus-sweep-dryrun`) drives the Phase 1 controller against real +shard data to surface what the scheduler would face. Five findings, +each with a concrete fix for the eventual Phase 3 ticket: + +**Finding 1 — chunk-size dominates Kelly threshold.** First iteration +chunked candidates 64-at-a-time and got 100% DEFERRED. Kelly's +`f_i = max(0, (p_i·b − q_i)/b)` requires `p_i > 0.5`; softmax over 64 +branches never gives any single branch that much mass. **Fix for +Phase 3:** chunk size = Hermes concurrency (4 today; governance +parameter going forward), not the candidate pool size. + +**Finding 2 — flat `capital_cost` blocks every allocation.** Iteration +1 also assigned `capital_cost=1.0` to every branch. Combined with +small audit-mode-based Δ5F deltas (±0.05–0.10), every utility came +out negative — DEFERRED for chunks where Kelly's guard never fired, +REJECT for chunks where it did. Iteration 2 split the cost class +(`CANONICAL_PROJECTION=0.05`, `UNGROUNDED=0.4`, `HYBRID=0.8`, +`STRICT=1.0` for Target A; `0.02` HEAD-only vs `0.05` canonical-shape +for Target B) and surfaced real ACCEPT/MARGINAL signal. **Fix for +Phase 3:** consider splitting `capital_cost` into `kernel_cost` + +`llm_cost` on the input contract in a v2 dataclass, or compute +`capital_cost` as the expected cost given which witness paths fire. + +**Finding 3 — τ_qa=7d filters out every `CANONICAL_PROJECTION` row.** +All 29 CP rows in `qa.db` are ≤7 days old (they're the recent π* +graduations from #000027 / #000030 / #000032). At τ_qa=7d, zero CP +rows surface → zero ACCEPT chunks → zero high-value sleep work +discovered. At τ_qa=1d, 9 CP rows surface and 4 chunks return +MARGINAL. **Fix for Phase 3:** split τ_qa by audit_mode. Kernel-only +modes (CP) take a short τ (1d default — they're cheap to re-probe); +LLM-witness modes (STRICT/HYBRID/UNGROUNDED) take a longer τ (7d +default — re-witness is expensive). + +**Finding 4 — Target B canonical-shape detection is the real +headline.** 4.40% of sampled documents (n=2000) contain +math/logic/time-series canonical-shape statements. Extrapolated to +~152,609 canonical-probe candidates across 3,468,392 docs in +``~/.arborist/shards``. The controller correctly returns MARGINAL on +83 of 500 Target B chunks (the chunks containing the regex-prefilter +hits). **Fix for Phase 3:** the MARGINAL queue from Target B becomes +the funnel for 5F falsification-fixture mining (§3 "Divergence → +candidate falsification fixture"). At Hermes concurrency=4 a full +Target B sweep is still ~38K rounds even after the prefilter — Phase +3 needs a sustained-throughput floor + per-window cap, not a one-shot +burst design. + +**Finding 5 — quarantined rows correctly veto.** The two +`falsification_state='quarantined'` rows in `qa.db` are flagged as +`cache_drift` hard-vetoes by Target A's branch synthesis. The veto +path exercises end-to-end against real corpus data — no fixture-only +mocking. + +Total dry-run cost: **~55 ms** to score 4,379 branches across all +sweep targets and both shards' worth of providence_cache + a 2,000- +doc sample of documents — **12.5 µs per branch** at chunk_size=4 in +pure Python.
