Second live wire-up (after Formulate). run_feedback_loop now supports
both modes:
- Embedded (Phase 1a): chain of (operation, observation) string pairs;
runner aggregates observations and string-matches expected_delta.
- Live (Phase 1b.2): live_chain of typed ops applied to a fresh temp
arborist shard via real append_audit + memory.snapshot +
selfmodel.snapshot. expected_delta is a dict of predicates against
the resulting audit_events / memory_branch_summaries.
The live helper _live_feedback_chain creates a tempfile-backed shard,
runs the chain through real arborist surfaces, and queries the final
state. Every audit event chains via the production append_audit, so
the audit chain is re-verifiable after live execution (see new test
test_5f_live_feedback_chain_audit_chain_intact).
Three predicate types in expected_delta:
- audit_event_type_present: named event_type appears in audit chain
- memory_branch_present: named branch_id in memory_branch_summaries
- body_substring_present: substring appears in any audit body JSON
Surface:
- bench/batteries/b_5f.py — _live_feedback_chain helper +
_live_delta_satisfied predicate checker; two-mode dispatch in
run_feedback_loop
- bench/fixtures/5f/feedback-loop-live-v1.jsonl — 12 live fixtures
exercising providence_write, providence_repair, memory_snapshot,
selfmodel_snapshot ops. Includes 2 negative fixtures testing the
predicate checker (expected_delta absent → expected:fail).
- Makefile: bench-5f-feedback-loop-live + bench-5f-live aggregate
for all 5F Phase-1b.2 live wire-ups.
- Tests: 5 new in tests/test_bench_batteries.py
- live path runs all 12 fixtures
- embedded path still works (10 Phase-1a fixtures)
- helper directly tests audit-event write
- rejects unknown live op type
- audit chain re-verifies after live ops
Two of the five 5F sub-batteries now bridge synthetic → live
(Formulate + Feedback Loop). Function/Finetuning/Falsification
follow in subsequent commits.
Full suite: 1201 passed, 36 skipped.
