Each directive gets a structural pin in tests/test_directives.py.
A future PR that silently weakens a directive fails by name.
D1 (no LLM in hard verifier path):
- verify_quotes / verify_claim_lattice / verify_claim_lattice_json
signatures must NOT carry chat_client / llm / judge / model
parameters.
- SCHEMA_SQL verifier_method CHECK constraint enum excludes
'llm', 'model', 'judge', 'nli', 'hermes', 'ai'.
D2 (Hermes emits pointer clauses):
- ANSWER_MODES contains both lattice variants.
- DEFAULT_ANSWER_MODE in ANSWER_MODES.
- parse_pointer_claims returns structured (claim_text, pointer_ids)
nodes from pointer-line input.
D3 (build CTI internally):
- Runtime parses pointer-line prose into typed claim nodes
(text + pointer_ids list); model never produces structured
output directly in pointer mode.
- Evidence map built by runtime from retrieved chunks; pointer
ids minted sequentially; evidence ids content-addressed.
D4 (bind retrieval AND evidence map):
- build_run_dag accepts evidence_map_root parameter (✓).
- Marker test: build_run_dag does NOT yet accept retrieval_plan_hash
parameter; flip when ticket #000001 lands.
D5 (deterministic pointer verify):
- verify_claim_lattice is deterministic: same inputs → same
verdict byte-for-byte.
- _claim_textually_overlaps_evidence (the per-pair coverage
check) is a pure function with no LLM-side parameters.
D6 (anchor-class warrant before NLI):
- warrant_check signature is lexical-only (no chat_client / llm
/ judge / nli params).
- Date-anchor failure case fires (year missing from cited spans).
- Relation-shape failure case fires when ALL proper-noun anchors
are missing from cited spans.
- Marker test: per-shape detectors for entity-list / count /
why-cause shapes are absent today; flip when ticket #000003 lands.
D7 (rename labels honestly):
- Renderer maps STRICT → EVIDENCE-LINKED for claim_lattice* methods.
- Renderer keeps STRICT for quote / span / entity / paraphrase
methods (those verify against pinned spans, not synthesis).
- SCHEMA_SQL audit_mode CHECK constraint enum stays
{STRICT, HYBRID, UNGROUNDED} regardless of renderer relabel.
D8 (test-pinning before automation):
- docs/seven-point-program.md exists.
- bench/qa_sweep.py exposes _directive_compliance helper.
- docs/TICKETS.md indexes the partial directives (D3, D4, D6) so
the design log doesn't drift from the program doc.
23 new tests; full suite 692 passed (was 669, +23).
The "marker" tests for D4 and D6 document open work: today they
assert that a parameter / detector is ABSENT; when the corresponding
ticket lands, the assertion flips to PRESENT. The test failing
during ticket implementation is the expected signal, not a
regression — the test message names the ticket so the work-in-
progress is legible.
