First sub-battery to bridge from synthetic gold output to actual
organism behavior. run_formulate now supports two fixture modes
selected per-task:
- Embedded (Phase 1a): produced_lattice in the fixture. 10 seed
fixtures continue to pass via this path.
- Live (Phase 1b.2): only input_text in the fixture; runner calls
arborist.qa.parse_claims.parse_pointer_claims(input_text) and
matches the live output against expected_lattice.
Embedded takes precedence if both fields are present. Per-task
detail.source ("embedded" | "live") surfaces in bench output so
synthetic vs live signal is distinguishable.
Surface:
- bench/batteries/b_5f.py — _live_produced_lattice helper +
two-mode dispatch in run_formulate
- bench/fixtures/5f/formulate-live-v1.jsonl — 15 live-mode fixtures
with input_text + expected_lattice (no produced_lattice)
- Makefile: bench-5f-formulate-live target
- Tests: 4 new in tests/test_bench_batteries.py
- live path routes through real parser, all 15 pass
- embedded path still works (10 Phase-1a fixtures)
- _live_produced_lattice helper directly verifies parse output
- fixture missing both fields fails cleanly with explanatory reason
Phase 1a fixture digests unchanged. _DEFAULT_FIXTURES still points
at formulate-v1.jsonl so `runner --all` behavior is identical;
live-mode fixtures invoked via explicit --fixtures path.
Full suite: 1196 passed, 36 skipped.
