Fresh Phase 3F stops at claim-extraction infrastructure

Executive summary

The accepted Phase 3F-D discovery-retention repair was integrated into the current Hiro base without force-pushing or discarding unrelated history. The integrated revision is 19ff77a5b09cf3b76712a4b5eef3d6617089fdd9 and preserves the tested Phase 3F-D commit as an ancestor.

Pre-campaign validation established matching checkout and loaded revisions, connected Qwen 3.8 27B service, a healthy autonomous controller, live WSL2/Bubblewrap isolation, present persistence stores, and a clean tracked production checkout.

A new immutable Phase 3F policy froze freshness, retrieval, retention, claim validation, capability probing, production binding, reproduction, candidate, governor, promotion, qualification, and campaign bounds before discovery. The policy SHA-256 is a61e285034a1eb8542730ea8ff116b04188c37167deeb0a0a244d54165f9197a.

Fresh discovery considered 72 sources, captured sufficient bounded content for 20, and autonomously retained all 20: 15 arXiv records and five Moltbook records. Four prior corpora containing 51 source identities were excluded, and no prior claim, plan, evidence package, candidate, or recovered qualification source was reused.

The campaign then failed at its first downstream boundary. All 20 retained source-claim extractor requests ended in ReadTimeout before producing a claim. Consequently zero claims were extracted or validated and no relevance, capability-probe, production-gap, reproduction, candidate, governor, promotion, activation, or rollback stage ran.

The frozen no-repair rule was honored. No timeout, threshold, policy, code, input membership, or infrastructure setting changed after discovery began; the timed-out stage was not retried. The terminal disposition is PHASE 3F NOT DEMONSTRATED — INFRASTRUCTURE FAILURE AT SOURCE_CONTENT_COMPLETE_TO_CLAIM_EXTRACTION.

Hiro remained healthy on the original integrated revision, and the campaign made no production change.

Work completed

Safe Phase 3F-D integration

Completed
  • Combined the accepted Phase 3F-D lineage with the two newer live-base hardening commits in a clean integration worktree.
  • The overlapping changes were already present or superseded by the later qualified lineage, so replaying the live-base commits produced no net content changes. A normal merge commit records both the current live base and Phase 3F-D as ancestors.
  • Pushed the integration branch normally without force. The main development checkout and the qualified production checkout were both fast-forwarded to the integrated revision.
  • A pre-existing local benchmark edit and its associated untracked test were preserved in a recoverable Git stash before the main checkout advanced; they were not incorporated into campaign evidence.

Pre-campaign validation and runtime restoration

Completed
  • A focused integration suite covering discovery, source claims, pipeline qualification, active improvement, candidate build/evaluation/integration, governor, supervisor, and interaction audit passed 110 tests.
  • The complete repository suite produced 885 passes, one expected skip, and two clean-worktree fixture failures because that temporary checkout did not contain Hiro's pinned runtime directory. Linking the existing pinned runtime into the clean checkout and rerunning those exact boundaries passed all five affected launcher and preflight tests.
  • The first runtime launch attached to an old development-store history and exposed a historical controller circuit breaker. The qualified production persistence root was identified without clearing history; its controller state was healthy at zero construction failures since the last ready candidate.
  • Hiro was restarted from that qualified production root using the checked-in hidden detached launcher. Checkout and loaded revision both matched 19ff77a5b09cf3b76712a4b5eef3d6617089fdd9.
  • Qwen 3.8 27B was connected, controller health was clean, WSL2/Bubblewrap reported ready with network denial, required persistence stores existed, and the tracked checkout was clean.

Immutable Phase 3F campaign policy

Completed
  • Frozen bounds were 100 considered sources, 20 retained sources, 40 validated claims, 20 transfer hypotheses and current-capability probes, six reproductions, three candidate builds, and one production promotion attempt.
  • The manifest included hashes for the source and asset policy, discovery and retention policy, claim contract, capability-probe and viability policies, production-surface binder, reproduction and corroboration machinery, candidate builder and evaluator, governor, controller, and promotion transaction implementation.
  • Four prior actionable-discovery corpora with 51 unique source identities were aggregated into the freshness exclusion set before retrieval.
  • The policy prohibited human merit choices, mid-campaign repair, threshold changes, input substitution, manual candidate rescue, meta-improvement, and an automatic follow-on campaign.

Fresh discovery

Completed
  • Discovery considered 72 sources: 54 arXiv, 15 Moltbook, and three GitHub records. All source connectors completed.
  • Twenty sources reached CONTENT_FETCH_SUFFICIENT and were retained: 15 arXiv and five Moltbook. No prior source identity overlapped the retained set.
  • Terminal discovery exclusions included 31 previously qualified identities, three incomplete captures, two prompt-injection risks, and deterministic relevance, empirical-signal, score, and capacity exclusions.
  • The immutable fresh corpus SHA-256 is 0a8fc19512c3e35d2787626e6c2e31f29d920bb90adfcc96ff2b835e11bcdbf7.

Claim-extraction first divergence

Failed
  • The fixed 20-source claim qualification batch used the current source-claim extractor unchanged.
  • All 20 extractor operations terminated with ReadTimeout. No raw claim was returned, so independent semantic validation had no candidate claim to assess.
  • The immutable qualification report records 20 EXTRACTION_FAILED outcomes, zero raw claims, and zero validated claims. Its SHA-256 is c80bed26f6f23ac9b57903bb38e808ab0c38852def2f328cc5018df28a3855be.
  • Because the failure was universal and occurred before claim merit could be evaluated, it is classified as infrastructure failure at SOURCE_CONTENT_COMPLETE_TO_CLAIM_EXTRACTION rather than insufficient viable findings.
  • The campaign stopped immediately after preserving this evidence. No retry, timeout change, source removal, batching change, code repair, or downstream execution occurred.

Decisions and reasoning

Validation and evidence

CheckStatusResult
Focused Hiro integration tests passed 110 focused discovery, controller, candidate, governor, supervisor, and interaction tests passed in 332.23 seconds.
Complete Hiro repository suite passed with environment qualification 885 tests passed and one expected test skipped. The only two failures were missing-pinned-runtime fixtures in the temporary clean worktree; after linking the existing pinned runtime, all five affected launcher and preflight checks passed.
Production runtime identity passed Hiro health reported matching checkout and loaded revision 19ff77a5b09cf3b76712a4b5eef3d6617089fdd9 before and after the campaign.
Model and controller readiness passed Qwen 3.8 27B was connected; controller health was unblocked; the candidate executor reported live-eligible WSL2/Bubblewrap isolation with network denial.
Freshness and policy immutability passed The campaign policy and bounds were frozen before retrieval, four historical corpora were excluded, and the policy hash remained unchanged.
Fresh discovery passed 72 sources were considered, all three connectors completed, 20 sources had sufficient bounded representations, and 20 were retained under the frozen ranking policy.
Claim extraction failed All 20 retained source extractor requests ended in ReadTimeout; zero raw and zero validated claims were produced.
No-repair campaign integrity passed After discovery began there were zero code repairs, policy changes, threshold changes, retries after code changes, manual rescues, human merit decisions, or new campaigns.
Public journal tests and production build passed npm run test:hiro passed. The first build generated and validated 185 journal entries, then stopped because the clean clone had no installed TypeScript toolchain. After npm ci installed the lockfile-defined dependencies, npm run build regenerated and validated all 185 entries, compiled TypeScript, and completed the Vite production bundle. Installation reported one existing high-severity dependency advisory outside this campaign's scope.
