Fox-supplied review expanding §2-§4 with axiomatic framing, CTI /
Merkle-AGI / PROMETHEUS-Σ interpretations, a concrete implementation
diff, and a strengthened test list. Captured verbatim as Appendix A.
Key refinements over the §2-§4 sketch:
- Splits retrieval-stage hash into retrieval_plan_hash +
retrieval_result_hash + retrieval_stage_hash (plan vs result
separation, axiomatically cleaner than embedding plan in the
retrieval-stage payload directly).
- Adds two new audit events: retrieval_plan_built and
retrieval_result_selected. Surfaces the retrieval inputs in the
audit chain (not just the run_dag), so cache-hits also commit
the plan via cache_hit_with_retrieval_plan.
- Distinguishes three keyword-handling cases for cache identity
(Case A/B/C) and lays out a clean boundary rule: keywords stay
in retrieval_plan unless they reach the model (then prompt_hash)
or affect routing policy (then retrieval_policy_hash).
- Promotes 'the map must be committed, not only the territory
reached' as a core principle. Operator-supplied maps (keywords,
routing modes, ranking policies) become first-class clauses
upstream of retrieval_result.
- Lists 12 concrete tests including the critical 'same sources,
different keywords → different run_dag_root' assertion that
proves the gap is closed.
Header note: Appendix A is authoritative when it disagrees with
§2-§4 above. The original §2-§4 sketch stays in place for
chronological context but is superseded by the appendix.
