From 045c76132dbe402ea8e79d39afdf65643bfd77b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ariel Harlap <3870784+aharlap@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 21:18:09 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] Assessment skill v3: length parity, headline cue, pooled three-run gate The v2 eval fixed false-everywhere distractors but the masked gate regressed to the no-skill level: writers attached the case's condition to the key, so it was the longest option on 29 of 53 items, and the key was usually the headline textbook answer. - Options share one sentence shape; distractors carry their own case clause. Key-length-rank check: key strictly longest on at most n/k items, and keyLongest within longestExpected in Trace's spreads. - Some stems make the neighbouring case the item, so the headline answer is a distractor about one time in k. New Example 4. - The masked solver is named in advance, at least the writer's model. - Writer hand-in checklist: one (x) and {shuffle} per scored choice, and a source count reconciled with Trace's included count. - guessingGate takes exactly three seeded runs, pools masked.right with exact tails, requires the same items and solver in each run, and stops on any excludedCount above 0 or a missing excludedCount (Praxity/praxity-trace#24). - Key check plants a double-key positive control and scores distractor notes blind before showing the writer's case.

Example 4 rewritten; Examples 2 and 3 no longer echo stem words; no option ends with a period. Tests check every worked example for stem echoes and periods, and Example 4's stated length range. - keyLongestCue flags a bank only when the key is longest, ties as Trace counts them, above chance at one-sided 0.05. - Headline stems must test the same objective; the key-check judge, not the writer, counts headline keys. - The orchestrating step plants the double-key control under the reserved ref prefix 0., exempt from rewrites, with one judge rerun at most and a pre-ship check that no control remains. - Seeds 2 and 3 feed only the gate; their plain and cover answers are unread and unjudged. - guessingGate takes { seed, bundleId, courseHash, itemCues } per run: seeds 1, 2, 3, distinct bundles, one course; named solver on every row; course equals its banks item for item and hit for hit; full item metadata matches across runs. A clear statistical fail returns before any other stop. Polls match no-key-or-poll exclusions ref for ref. Exclusion accounting must be complete and reconcile. Missing accounting or unknown shuffle returns "tooling", and the skill says not to spend passes 2 and 3 on it. - Solver strength covers solvers and judges, not the explanations reviewer.

For any other reason, give Trace's detail as it stands. - When `status` is `"not run"`, the masked answers weren't combined; run the masked solver. - When `itemCues.course.count` differs from `scoredChoices`, find the difference in the source and in `itemCues.excluded`, such as a choice with no `(x)`. Never change the declared count to match. - - When `excludedByReason` has a code other than `multiple-select`, or more `no-key-or-poll` than declared polls, list those `itemCues.excluded` records and fix each choice. When the field is missing, the installed Trace is too old; update Rubato's tools. - - When an item's shuffle is unknown, give the sum of `spreads[].unknownCount`: the position check didn't cover those items.

The predicate below computes each row's exact pooled tails from Trace's `masked.right` per run and each item's option count. On the course row both tails must exceed 0.025. For the m banks with at least 12 items, each tail must exceed `0.05 / (2 * m)`. Report smaller banks without gating them; read them through the pooled course row. These adjusted thresholds limit false alarms across multiple banks and both directions. For each run, pass its `seed`, `bundleId` and `courseHash` from `/operator.json` and `itemCues` from its JSON report; the course row has the same fields as a bank row. Neither a cover-the-options result nor a plain choices-only score is a guessing test. A flat percentage is noise on small banks. The gate can only pass on a scored masked result. Every bank and the course row need `masked.applies` set to `true`, `masked.status` set to `"scored"` and `masked.total` equal to their `count`, whatever their size. Any other status, whatever its `reason`, leaves the probe unscored; `"not run"` means no masked answers were combined. On the course row and on every bank with at least 12 items, each pooled tail must be able to fail at that row's own threshold: the upper tail with every answer right and the lower tail with every answer wrong must both be at or below it. Otherwise that tail carries no evidence at this size. Trace's `tooFewItems` and `tooFewItemsLow` flags use 0.05, which is too loose for these thresholds. A tail at or below its threshold is a fail whatever the other tail's power. - This executable predicate checks both statistical tails against Trace's JSON for the three runs.

A real inspect of a course with {shuffle} choices reports assessment.shuffle, and the assessment gate then returns pass or fail, not "tooling".
