Summary

Overnight 2026-05-20→21 the autonomous research fleet produced these deliverables but heartbeat budgets ran out before agents called gh pr create. The files sat uncommitted on local disk all morning. Promoting them manually so the work isn't lost.

Research docs (1,186 lines)

  • convergence-curve-math.md — 4-model comparison (exponential / power-law / smoothed-MA / cumulative-plateau) with shipping recommendation
  • patch-acceptance-2026-05-21.md — self-healing patch acceptance rate study
  • graduation-quality-2026-05-21.md — meta-rule graduation quality audit
  • many-shot-ablation-2026-05-21.md — k=10/20/50 ablation
  • embedding-vs-bm25-2026-05-21.md — cross-language scoring comparison

Bench harnesses (1,795 lines, runnable)

  • bench/curve_fitting.py — fits 4 curve models, exports PNG + JSON
  • bench/many_shot_ablation.py — many-shot bench
  • bench/cross_language_scoring.py — BM25 vs embedding bench

Review focus

Content is substantive (not LLM slop). References real codebase paths, recommendations have R²/AIC math. Skim the convergence-curve doc first — that's the highest-leverage one and directly informs in-flight ENG issues [441311ff] (smoothed cumulative curve) and [029731fe] (exponential-fit overlay).

Out of scope

Implementation of the recommendations — those are separate ENG PRs in flight.

…ht fleet run

Overnight 2026-05-20→21 the autonomous research fleet (analyst agent on
claude-sonnet-4-6) produced these deliverables but heartbeat budgets
ran out before agents pushed them to git. Surfaced today as
uncommitted-but-real work in the SDK working tree. Promoting them
manually so the work isn't lost.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR adds three new benchmark harnesses (cross_language_scoring.py, curve_fitting.py, many_shot_ablation.py), multiple research/write-up documents, self-improvement telemetry and an oscillation-cycle guard (with emits wired into Brain), and tests for the oscillation guard plus a parameterized CLI install smoke test.

Changes

Benchmark and Research Infrastructure

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cross-language scoring benchmark
Gradata/bench/cross_language_scoring.py
Evaluates embedding-based semantic similarity against token-overlap (Jaccard) and pure-Python BM25 on 30 deliberately cross-language paraphrased rule/draft pairs across 10 categories. Corpus, probes, and scoring implementations (including optional sentence-transformers embedding) are included; evaluation reports per-probe ranking positions, P@1/P@3, zero-overlap subset metrics, and per-category breakdowns with a timestamped Markdown report and CLI --no-embed flag to skip embedding evaluation.
Curve fitting model benchmark
Gradata/bench/curve_fitting.py
Fits four convergence-curve models (exponential decay, power law, smoothed MA, cumulative plateau) to synthetic and optionally real session-correction profiles; computes per-model R², AIC, and RSS with edge-case handling and optional Matplotlib chart generation (2×2 panels). Evaluation sweeps profiles, selects a recommendation based on per-session R², and writes timestamped JSON results; CLI supports --brain-path to load real data and --quick to skip chart generation.
Many-shot injection ablation benchmark
Gradata/bench/many_shot_ablation.py
Sweeps many-shot budget k over [5, 10, 20, 50] to measure BM25-based rule retrieval coverage, precision, false-positive rate, and an analytical compliance estimate; computes per-k metrics including per-category breakdown, context token cost, and retrieval latency. Marginal-gain computation derives efficiency (coverage gain per 100 extra tokens); report generation includes recommendation heuristics (compliance peak, diminishing-returns, corpus-size sensitivity) and writes timestamped Markdown; CLI supports --quick to limit evaluation to 10 probes.
Convergence-curve math research document
Gradata/docs/research/convergence-curve-math.md
Reports cross-profile results and parameter estimates for four models, explains observed fit behavior per profile, and recommends shipping exponential decay as the parametric model while retaining smoothed MA as visual-only. Includes implementation guidance for replacing OLS slope logic with exponential-decay fit, documents caveats (synthetic-only basis, spike handling, cumulative R² interpretation).
Embedding vs BM25 decision document
Gradata/docs/research/embedding-vs-bm25-2026-05-21.md
Describes cross-language corpus/probe design and reports per-category P@1 results comparing Jaccard, BM25, and embedding scoring; identifies embedding failure cases and explains structural reasons for BM25 failure on zero-overlap queries. States decision to promote embedding as primary scorer with BM25 fallback; specifies implementation scope (embedding → BM25 → Jaccard chain in jit_inject.py) and includes checklist (optional dependency, env-var dispatcher, lazy-loading, tests, docs) plus caveats.
Graduation quality audit document
Gradata/docs/research/graduation-quality-2026-05-21.md
Auto-generated audit report documenting graduation pipeline state (8 lessons, 2 promoted, zero organic PATTERN→RULE promotions) with analysis sections on dormancy, Beta distribution evidence, and compliance signal sparsity. Lists four structured recommendations (applicability gate, MIN_APPLICATIONS_FOR_RULE increase, dormancy demotion sweep, threshold decoupling) with code snippets and expected impacts; includes implementation priority order and next-step tracking.
Many-shot ablation analysis document
Gradata/docs/research/many-shot-ablation-2026-05-21.md
Reports coverage/precision results and marginal tradeoffs for k sweep; recommends keeping default at k=5 for corpora under 200 rules and describes corpus-size sensitivity thresholds (k=20 at 200+, k=50 at 500+). Documents category-specific gaps and includes future A/B test plan for validating analytical compliance model; lists caveats on analytical assumptions, dataset composition, BM25 selectivity, and token-cost modeling.
Patch acceptance research document
Gradata/docs/research/patch-acceptance-2026-05-21.md
Defines patch acceptance as telemetry-based metric using RULE_FAILURE event counts for old vs. new rule text across 3-session windows. Describes measurement framework (observe/resolve/compute) and states that brain.patch_rule() now emits telemetry automatically; includes synthetic baseline results, empirical measurement plan (event schema, dashboard references, CLI triggering steps), and caveats with next steps for resolving observations.

Inline comments:
In `@Gradata/bench/cross_language_scoring.py`:
- Line 425: The call a(f"**GRA-1299**: embedding vs BM25 on zero-term-overlap
probes  ") uses an unnecessary f-string prefix causing Ruff F541; replace the
f-string with a plain string literal by removing the leading "f" in the argument
to function a (i.e., change the call in cross_language_scoring.py where
a(f"...") is used to a("...")), and verify there are no interpolations that
require f-strings before committing.
- Line 391: The p95 calculation uses int(0.95 * len(latencies)) which can
overshoot; change it to compute the 95th-rank as ceil(0.95 * n) - 1 and index
sorted(latencies) with that bounded index (and handle empty latencies). Update
the line computing p95_lat (referencing the latencies list and p95_lat variable)
to calculate rank = max(0, min(len(latencies)-1, math.ceil(0.95 *
len(latencies)) - 1)) and then use sorted(latencies)[rank]; ensure math.ceil is
imported/available and guard against empty latencies to avoid IndexError.

In `@Gradata/bench/curve_fitting.py`:
- Around line 272-280: When Matplotlib is unavailable make_charts currently
returns {} which breaks ProfileResult.chart_path and JSON output; change the
exception path to return a dict mapping the profile's model identifier to an
empty string (e.g., {profile.model: ""}) so the function always returns string
paths. Update the same pattern in the other try/except blocks referenced (around
the blocks at the later occurrences) so each returns a mapping with the
appropriate model key to an empty string instead of an empty dict; ensure
references are to make_charts and ProfileResult.chart_path so callers always get
a str path value.
- Around line 479-488: The current SQL filters out sessions with zero
corrections by using WHERE type = 'CORRECTION' and COUNT(*); update the query
used where db_path/conn are defined to compute per-session correction counts
including zeros: remove the type filter and replace COUNT(*) with SUM(CASE WHEN
type = 'CORRECTION' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS cnt, keeping the session IS NOT NULL
AND session > 0 condition and the GROUP BY session ORDER BY session; make the
same change to the second occurrence around lines 491-495.
- Around line 132-137: The _r2 function currently returns 1.0 whenever ss_tot ==
0, which yields false perfect scores for constant y_true; change the logic in
_r2 to only return 1.0 when both ss_tot == 0 and ss_res == 0 (i.e., predictions
exactly match the constant target), otherwise return 0.0 for the constant-target
case so a non-matching prediction is not reported as perfect; update the branch
in _r2 that handles ss_tot == 0 accordingly and keep the existing 1.0 - ss_res /
ss_tot behavior for the general case.

In `@Gradata/bench/many_shot_ablation.py`:
- Around line 133-140: The math assumes k injected items even though top_k is
truncated to corpus length; update calculations to use the actual number of
retrieved/injected items (n = len(top_k)) instead of k when computing precision,
fp_count, and any downstream cost like context_tokens; specifically, replace
uses of k in the precision and fp_count formulas with n (and guard division by
zero), and apply the same change near the other occurrence (context_tokens /
related logic) so all noise/cost metrics reflect the true number of returned
items (use symbols ranked_indices, top_k, relevant_set, relevant_in_top_k,
precision, fp_count, context_tokens, and probe.relevant_indices to locate and
fix the code).
- Around line 153-164: Guard against empty probe sets by checking probe_results
and latencies before doing aggregations: if probe_results is empty (e.g.,
num_probes==0 or _build_probes returned []), avoid dividing by n and computing
p95; instead set n=0 and safe defaults (coverage_rate=0.0, mean_precision=0.0,
mean_fp_count=0.0, fp_rate=0.0, compliance_est=0.0) and for latencies set
avg_lat and p95_lat to None or 0.0; implement this check immediately before the
existing calculations that compute n, coverage_rate, mean_precision,
mean_fp_count, fp_rate, compliance_est, avg_lat and p95_lat, and ensure
NOISE_FACTOR usage remains guarded by the empty-check so you never divide by
zero or index into an empty sorted(latencies).

In `@Gradata/docs/research/embedding-vs-bm25-2026-05-21.md`:
- Around line 49-55: Update the construction rule wording to match the reported
outcomes: replace the strict "Jaccard token similarity < 0.05" requirement with
a relaxed/accurate statement (e.g., "Jaccard token similarity ≤ 0.07" or
"primarily < 0.05, with two exceptions at 0.06–0.07") so the rule and the
results (28 probes J=0.00; probes 11 and 12 at 0.06–0.07) are consistent; keep
reference to applying the same stopword list and tokenizer as jit_inject.py and
update the phrase that currently reads "the probe must have a Jaccard token
similarity < 0.05" accordingly.

In `@Gradata/docs/research/graduation-quality-2026-05-21.md`:
- Around line 47-53: The fenced code blocks in the markdown are missing a
language tag and lack surrounding blank lines; update each problematic fence
(the block shown and the ones starting at the other noted fences) to use a
language (e.g., ```text) and ensure there is a blank line immediately before and
after each fenced block so they pass MD040 and MD031. Also mirror this change
where similar examples are generated in the generator code path around the
_passes_beta_lb_gate() area in _graduation.py so future output includes the
```text fence and blank-line padding.
- Around line 1-2: The H1 heading "Graduation Quality Audit — GRA-1293" lacks a
trailing blank line; add a single blank line immediately after that heading so
there's an empty line between the H1 and the following metadata line to satisfy
MD022 (blanks-around-headings).
- Line 137: The sentence in REC-2's rationale ("Beta(α=4, β=1) at the 5th
percentile gives ~0.48 LB, which can exceed 0.75") is self-contradictory; update
the phrasing to a correct quantitative claim by replacing "which can exceed
0.75" with a correct relation (e.g., "which is well below 0.75" or specify the
correct percentile/value if you meant a different prior), and ensure the
surrounding sentence about requiring 5 observations instead of 3 is consistent
with the corrected numeric statement; look for the exact phrase "Beta(α=4, β=1)
at the 5th percentile gives ~0.48 LB" in the REC-2 rationale and edit that
sentence only.

In `@Gradata/docs/research/many-shot-ablation-2026-05-21.md`:
- Around line 40-42: Add a language tag to the fenced code block containing the
formula `compliance_est(k) = coverage(k) × (1 − 0.30 × fp_rate(k))` (e.g.,
change ``` to ```text) so markdownlint rule MD040 is satisfied; ensure the
opening fence contains the language token and the closing fence remains
unchanged.

In `@Gradata/docs/research/patch-acceptance-2026-05-21.md`:
- Line 6: Replace the stale branch identifier "GRA-1291-prompt-injection-survey"
in the document header with the correct branch name from the PR metadata
("docs/research-overnight-fleet-deliverables") so the header accurately reflects
the delivering branch; locate the header line containing the branch token and
update that string accordingly to maintain correct traceability.
- Around line 113-115: The fenced code block containing the snippet
"<original_rule> (especially in context: word1 word2 word3)" is missing a
language identifier; update that fenced block in the document so the opening
triple-backticks include a language (e.g., use "text") to satisfy markdownlint
MD040 and ensure consistent rendering—locate the fenced block that begins with
``` before the "<original_rule>" line and change it to ```text.
- Around line 176-191: The fenced JSON example (the block starting with ```json
and the shown rule_patch_observed object) lacks blank lines before and after the
code fence, violating MD031; fix it by inserting a blank line immediately above
the opening ```json fence and another blank line immediately below the closing
``` fence so the fenced code block is separated from surrounding text and
satisfies markdownlint.

Handle constant-series R² without false perfect scores.

For constant y_true, returning 1.0 unconditionally can misreport a bad fit as perfect.

Real-world bug observed 2026-05-21 on production brain: lesson 911130b3
oscillated between two rule phrasings A and B for 5 consecutive rollbacks
spanning 20 days, each marked '100% reduction' in the dashboard.

Root cause: `observe_patch()` had no cycle detection — every time the
compliance scorer flagged the current text as 'failing,' the patcher
rewrote it back to the previous text without checking it had just patched
away from that text. The 'reduction' metric games itself: the new text
trivially shows zero failures because it has zero observations yet.

Fix: new module `_oscillation_guard.py` is consulted before each
`observe_patch()` call. Detects direct A→B then B→A cycles within a
30-day / 5-patch lookback window. On detection, emits a
`rule_patch_cycle_detected` event and aborts the patch instead of
recording another fake-reduction row. Conservative scope (only direct
cycles, only within a single category, whitespace-normalized comparison)
to minimize false-positive risk.

The next sibling fix (`recurrence_change → insufficient_data when <3
sessions`) is filed as a separate cloud-side issue [040a09dd].

Tests: 12 new (oscillation_guard) + 166 existing self-healing/patch
tests still green.

Refs: paperclip issue 1983a5c6
Activates the oscillation guard restored in 41390bf — every successful
Brain.patch_rule call now consults observe_patch, which detects A→B→A→B
cycles via _oscillation_guard.detect_cycle and aborts the patch if a cycle
is in flight. Without this hook the cherry-picked guard files were dead code.

Also includes per-rule injection telemetry (second hunk, line 1200+) that
was already in flight in the working tree; preserved so cloud sync /
dashboard surfaces can attribute applied rules to real sessions.
Comprehensive Bayesian analysis of lift report Beta-binomial claims:
- 7 claims evaluated for statistical defensibility
- Core methodology is sound but observational, not causal
- Identifies claims requiring A/B testing vs paired experiments
- Proposes honest reframing for each claim
- Recommends prior publication caveats (rename confidence to empirical success rate)

The framework correctly estimates posterior success rates from observational data.
Causal claims (rule improved agent) are indefensible without control group.
Practical safeguards (drift detection, explicit contradictions) work well.

- Around line 763-768: The current patch observation call swallows all
exceptions with "except Exception: pass" (observe_patch(self, category,
old_description, new_description)), hide failures; replace this with either
specific exception handlers (e.g., ImportError/ModuleNotFoundError or the exact
exceptions observe_patch may raise) or at minimum catch Exception as e and call
the module/logger warning with exception info (e.g.,
logger.warning("observe_patch failed for %s: %s", category, e, exc_info=True))
so errors are not silently dropped while preserving defensive behavior.

In `@Gradata/src/gradata/enhancements/self_improvement/_oscillation_guard.py`:
- Around line 114-120: The try/except in the cycle detection path (around the
brain.query_events call that returns events) and the similar block later (lines
~171-190) silently swallow exceptions and return None; update both to catch
Exception as e and log a warning including context (e.g., which guard, the query
parameters, and that we're failing open) using the module/class logger with
exc_info=True before returning the fail-open default so failures are visible in
logs; reference the brain.query_events call and the early return None locations
when making the change.

In `@Gradata/src/gradata/enhancements/self_improvement/_patches.py`:
- Around line 37-45: Replace the bare except handlers that silently "fail open"
with logged warnings including exception info: for the try around events =
brain.query_events(...) change "except Exception: return 0" to "except Exception
as e: logger.warning('failed to query RULE_FAILURE events; failing open',
exc_info=True)" and then return 0; apply the same pattern to the other silent
except blocks noted (the try/excepts around the blocks at ~60-66, 128-129,
146-149, 192-193, 213-216) — catch Exception as e and call logger.warning(...)
with a short context message and exc_info=True before preserving the original
fail-open return/flow; if no module logger exists, create one via
logging.getLogger(__name__).
- Around line 154-193: The loop currently emits a resolved event via brain.emit
in resolve_patch_compliance but leaves the original pending event unchanged so
it gets reprocessed; after a successful emit (the variable updated), mark the
original pending event id (ev.get("id")) as resolved by emitting or updating it
via brain.emit with a payload that sets "observed_compliance_after_3_sessions":
compliance_after (and/or a "resolved" tag) so pending_events queries will
exclude it; change the try block after updated is assigned to call brain.emit
(or the existing event-update mechanism) to persist the marker for the original
event id so resolve_patch_compliance becomes idempotent and prevents metric
drift.

Line 767 swallows all errors (except Exception: pass), which hides telemetry/guard regressions after successful patching.

Proposed fix
         try:
             from gradata.enhancements.self_improvement._patches import observe_patch

             observe_patch(self, category, old_description, new_description)
         except Exception:  # pragma: no cover — defensive
-            pass
+            logger.warning("observe_patch failed in Brain.patch_rule", exc_info=True)

As per coding guidelines, "Never use bare except: pass — use typed exceptions or at minimum logger.warning(...) with exc_info=True to avoid silent failure in a memory product".

Avoid silent failure in cycle detection/emission paths.

Line 119 and Line 189 return fail-open defaults with no logging. That hides guard failures and makes patch-loop incidents hard to debug.

As per coding guidelines, "Never use bare except: pass — use typed exceptions or at minimum logger.warning(...) with exc_info=True to avoid silent failure in a memory product".

Also applies to: 171-190

Exception as e and log a warning including context (e.g., which guard, the query
parameters, and that we're failing open) using the module/class logger with
exc_info=True before returning the fail-open default so failures are visible in
logs; reference the brain.query_events call and the early return None locations

Add warning logs for fail-open exception paths.

These handlers fail open silently. In this telemetry module, that makes production diagnosis difficult when queries/emits degrade.

Make compliance resolution idempotent to prevent metric drift.

resolve_patch_compliance() appends resolved events but leaves the original pending event eligible for future runs. That causes repeated re-resolution of the same patch, inflating resolved counts and leaving pending counts permanently noisy in patch_acceptance_rate().

-        pending_events = brain.query_events(event_type="rule_patch_observed", limit=200)

154 - 193, The loop currently emits a resolved event via brain.emit in
resolve_patch_compliance but leaves the original pending event unchanged so it
gets reprocessed; after a successful emit (the variable updated), mark the
original pending event id (ev.get("id")) as resolved by emitting or updating it
via brain.emit with a payload that sets "observed_compliance_after_3_sessions":
compliance_after (and/or a "resolved" tag) so pending_events queries will
exclude it; change the try block after updated is assigned to call brain.emit
(or the existing event-update mechanism) to persist the marker for the original
event id so resolve_patch_compliance becomes idempotent and prevents metric
drift.
