Closes the warrant-promotion data path: claim-pack records now
bind to surface-ingested textbook chunks via Merkle inclusion
proofs in the existing `derivations` table.
What landed
===========
arborist/qa/warrant_resolver.py — four pure-data steps + one DB
write:
1. parse_citation(s) — regex pipeline turning the claim-pack
`source_reference` string into structured Citation tuples.
Handles "Title by Author" (single + Oxford-comma multi +
et-al), semicolon-separated multi-cite ("Knuth §1.2.6;
Stanley §1.2; Brualdi §3.5"), and compact author-year
("Pascal 1654") forms.
2. resolve_chunks(c, shards_dir) — FTS5 search across sibling
crawl/ dir's textbook-surface shards. Skips the main numbered
shards (Wikipedia content; would be false positives). Per-
shard match filter requires BOTH author last name AND a title
token in the shard's title-haystack — honest "no match" for
textbooks not yet surface-ingested.
3. compute_proof(shard, doc_root, chunk_id) — reads
merkle_nodes, walks layer-by-layer to assemble siblings;
emits deterministic JSON proof_blob compatible with
arborist/merkle.py verification.
4. write_derivation(...) — INSERT OR IGNORE into the existing
derivations table with process_id="warrant-resolver-v1".
Idempotent at the database layer.
CLI surface
===========
- `arborist warrant-status --shards-dir ...` (read-only) —
emits per-record JSON: parsed citations, FTS5 candidates,
whether a derivations row exists.
- `arborist warrant-resolve --shards-dir ... [--write]` —
default dry-run summary; --write actually computes proofs
and inserts rows.
End-to-end verification
=======================
Real-shard run: `arborist warrant-resolve --shards-dir
~/.arborist/shards --write` →
records_total: 92
records_resolved: 18
derivations_written: 18
All 18 are pillar-IV Hilbert axioms citing "The Foundations of
Geometry by David Hilbert" — the only cited textbook fully
surface-ingested by Phase 1. The remaining 74 records cite
textbooks not in our shard cluster (Mendelson, Enderton,
Jech, Goldstein, Barendregt, Stanley, Brualdi, Knuth, …) and
correctly produce 0 matches; they stay at ANCHOR-WARRANTED
until those textbooks land via future Phase-1 manifest
expansions.
Re-running the writer is a no-op (PK collision on (core_root,
src_root, process_id) = INSERT OR IGNORE).
Drive-by fix
============
arborist/sources/textbook_tex.py — _extract_title now also
parses PG's plain-text `Author:` line and appends "by Author"
to the title, so the warrant resolver's author-last-name match
works against PG-ingested textbooks (Hilbert "The Foundations
of Geometry by David Hilbert" instead of just "The Foundations
of Geometry").
Test suite
==========
tests/test_warrant_resolver.py — 14 unit tests for the citation
parser (no DB / network). Full suite: 1588 passed / 28 skipped.
Phase 3 (verifier wiring)
=========================
NOT in this commit. The data substrate is in place; the
audit_mode upgrade path that lifts answers citing
claim-pack-records-with-derivations from ANCHOR-WARRANTED to
EVIDENCE-WARRANTED requires a verifier change — touches well-
tested code, worth its own ticket so the regression risk is
bounded.

Arborist tickets — index
Arborist uses a flat ticket-NNNNNN-<slug>.md convention for actionable
proposals: defects with a known root cause, design proposals awaiting
go/no-go, or scoped enhancements queued for future implementation.
Convention
- Filename:
docs/tickets/ticket-NNNNNN-<slug>.md. The ID is a six-digit zero-padded integer; the slug is hyphen-lowercase and short enough to stay readable on a 100-column terminal. - Numbering: monotonic, never reused. Pick the next free integer
greater than every existing ticket. The current next ID is on the
Next IDline below; bump it when you open a ticket and commit the bump in the same commit as the new ticket file. - Header: every ticket starts with
# Ticket #NNNNNN — <short title> **Status:** open · awaiting go/no-go (or "in progress", "closed") **Opened:** YYYY-MM-DD **Scope:** <one-liner — what this ticket is for> **Audience:** <who reads this> **Hard constraint:** <invariants this ticket commits to NOT break> - Body: problem statement, design choices with trade-offs,
recommendation, implementation sketch, scope boundaries, status.
See
ticket-000001-retrieval-keywords-audit-gap.mdfor a worked template. - Closure: when a ticket lands, flip Status to
closed · landed in commit <sha>and leave the file in place. Do not delete tickets; they are the design log.
Distinction from other docs
docs/ also contains architecture references and bench journey notes
that are NOT tickets — they describe state of the world rather than
proposing change. Examples that stay un-numbered:
cti-architecture.md(architecture reference)mesh.md,mesh-deploy.md(architecture + ops reference)qa-modes-bench-2026-04-30.md(point-in-time bench journal)verifier-semantic-gap-design.md,self-reference-design.md(older design docs that pre-date the ticket convention; leave as-is unless retroactively promoting one to a ticket adds value)concept-relations-design.md(architecture reference for the per-shardconcept_relationssynonym/rivalry layer + the 1.6% storage-tax rationale; landed 2026-05-01)tool-action-dag-design.md(research path for an action- provenance layer downstream offinal_label. Captured pre-ticket per the 2026-05-07 arborist-vs-donto comparison; promotes to a ticket when an actual agent use case surfaces)
If a doc proposes change AND awaits a decision AND has scoped implementation cost, it's a ticket. Otherwise it's reference.
