aborist now writes one JSONL session per `make query` invocation
and per `bench-emergent` cycle to:
~/.aborist/unfirehose/{project-slug}/{session-uuid}.jsonl
Unfirehose's native-harness auto-discovery picks up any
~/.{name}/unfirehose/ directory (see ingest.ts:discoverNativeHarnesses)
without registration — once a session lands, the unfirehose watcher
debounces, ingests, and exposes it in the dashboard alongside
Claude Code / Fetch / uncloseai sessions.
Schema: unfirehose/1.0 (per ~/git/unfirehose-nextjs-logger/docs/
unfirehose-schema.md). Each session file:
line 1 type=session (header — id, projectId, firstPrompt,
harness="aborist", harnessVersion)
line 2 type=message role=user
line 3 type=message role=assistant
content=[text]
model=hermes-3-llama-3.1-8b-fp8-dynamic
provider=hermes
durationMs=<wall>
aborist_meta={audit_mode, n_verified/n_quotes,
cache_key, cache_status, lookup_path,
violations, sources, timings_ms, answer_mode}
line 4 type=message role=system subtype=session_end durationMs
aborist-specific extras (verifier verdict, sources, timings) ride
under namespaced ``aborist_meta`` so the canonical fields stay clean
for off-the-shelf consumers; per the spec, unknown fields are
ignored downstream.
Bench-emergent cycles emit an additional system init message at
the start of each session noting the 3 random words, marking the
session as a generator-driven cycle vs a normal user query.
Failure-isolation: journal write is wrapped in a broad try/except
at every call site. A journaling bug must NEVER break the query
or bench loop.
Tests: 10 new in tests/test_journal.py (slug encoding, session
header, parent-id chain, session_end on close, aborist_meta
passthrough, usage block, idempotent close). Full suite: 663 passed.
Live verified: `make query Q="what is photosynthesis?"` produced
a 4-line JSONL with STRICT 3/3, all sources + timings populated,
ready for unfirehose ingestion.

"""Emergent stress test — random word triangulation against the substrate.
|
|
|
|
Pick three random words from /usr/share/dict/words, ask Hermes at
|
|
temp 0.8 to weave them into a creative question paragraph, send that
|
|
paragraph to aborist, log the whole journey (words → question →
|
|
answer → audit_mode → sources → timings) as a single JSONL line.
|
|
|
|
Designed for **blue moon cadence**, NOT every-commit benching. The
|
|
combinatoric word space surfaces failure modes the curated bench
|
|
(`bench/qa_questions.txt`) doesn't reach: question shapes the
|
|
authors didn't anticipate, vocabulary the corpus barely covers,
|
|
adversarial premises that emerge by accident.
|
|
|
|
The teacher review step is intentionally **not** automated here.
|
|
Fox brings interesting log entries to a teacher model (Claude
|
|
Opus 4.7 in the current setup) and asks for guidance:
|
|
|
|
- did the answer match the question? (mismatch → bench-max signal)
|
|
- novelty class: known_truth_grounding / emergent_synthesis /
|
|
novel_claim / no_signal (accounting for the 2010-11 Wikipedia
|
|
corpus legitimately lacking post-2010 advances in science /
|
|
math / engineering)
|
|
- which hyperparam to tune for the next iteration
|
|
|
|
Future: `--generator-endpoint` & `--student-endpoint` to swap
|
|
upstreams (different model per role), and a separate review-side
|
|
script that prompts a teacher model via API.
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
make bench-emergent # 10 cycles, default
|
|
make bench-emergent N=50 SEED=42 # bigger sample, reproducible
|
|
python scripts/bench_emergent.py --n 10 --seed 42
|
|
python scripts/bench_emergent.py --print-pending # show un-reviewed entries
