Explain only; do not stage or mutate the KB.", "prompt_id": "OOS-02", "reply": "Here is the full pipeline, step by step.\n\n---\n\nPROVENANCE FIRST\n\nBefore a single sentence becomes a claim, each source gets its own row in `public.sources` with a type tag (pdf, telegram-thread, tweet), a stable reference (file hash or URL), an author/channel, and a date. This is the foundation. Every claim that later derives from that material carries a pointer back to its source row. If the PDF is a secondary source summarizing primary research, that chain gets recorded too. A claim with no traceable source row is not KB-eligible \u2014 it is runtime memory at best.\n\nFor your five tweets specifically: each tweet is its own source row, not one aggregate \"social signal\" row. They may overlap but they are distinct signals with distinct authors and distinct timestamps. That distinction matters later when you need to audit adversarial diversity \u2014 the skill flags any cluster of more than three claims leaning on a single source.\n\n---\n\nEXTRACTION AND TIERING\n\nThe next step is lifting candidate claims from each source and assigning an evidence tier before anything goes to review.\n\nTiers:\n- likely \u2014 supported by empirical data in the source itself\n- experimental \u2014 coherent argument, limited validation\n- speculative \u2014 untested, author's inference\n\nA tweet asserting a market shift without cited data is speculative by default, even if the author is credible. The PDF might contain actual figures that lift a parallel claim to likely. Those two claims can co-exist in the KB at different confidence levels \u2014 they are not duplicates just because they say similar things.\n\n---\n\nDEDUPLICATION\n\nBefore staging anything, run `teleo-kb search` against the proposed claim text. The current KB has 1,837 claims. The most common failure mode is staging a claim that already exists under slightly different wording, which pollutes the graph with redundant nodes and split evidence.\n\nThe test is: remove the existing claim \u2014 does the new one still stand alone with new content or finer precision? If yes, it is additive. If no, the right action is to attach fresh evidence to the existing claim, not create a second claim.\n\nFor your five tweets touching the same market shift: you will almost certainly find they converge on one or two core claims. Those should become one or two canonical claim nodes with five evidence pointers, not five separate claims.\n\n---\n\nHANDLING CONTRADICTIONS\n\nWhen two sources flatly contradict each other \u2014 say the PDF says market share moved left, a tweet says it moved right \u2014 this is not automatically a problem. It is information.\n\nThe correct action depends on which of three situations you are in:\n\n1. Scope mismatch: the PDF covers enterprise, the tweet covers retail. Resolution is wording \u2014 add scope qualifiers to both claims, add an edge of type `contrasts` between them, and move on. About 85% of apparent contradictions are this.\n\n2. Real empirical divergence: both sources cover the same scope and genuinely disagree. The claim gets marked speculative or experimental, the contradiction is logged in `schemas/divergence.md`, and the divergence is surfaced to the relevant domain agent for resolution. It stays unresolved in the KB until evidence settles it.\n\n3. One source is clearly weaker: a primary data source outranks a tweet summarizing it. The weaker source's claim gets downtiered or superseded, with a note in the proposal rationale.\n\nWhat you never do is silently pick one and discard the other without recording why.\n\n---\n\nEDGES BEFORE YOU FINISH\n\nClaims in isolation are inert. The KB gets reasoning power from the graph. Before a proposal is complete, you need to specify the edges: does this claim `supports`, `contradicts`, `relates`, or `supersedes` an existing claim? The `teleo-kb edges` command shows what a neighboring claim is already connected to, so you can see the local graph before adding to it.\n\nA synthesis claim \u2014 one that draws a conclusion spanning multiple sources \u2014 requires a mechanism. \"The PDF, the Telegram thread, and the tweets all point in the same direction\" is not a synthesis claim. \"The convergence of institutional PDF data and retail social signals suggests the shift predates public awareness by N weeks\" is \u2014 provided the mechanism (lead/lag timing inference) is stated and the evidence for it is cited.\n\n---\n\nTHE PROPOSAL PACKET\n\nEverything above feeds a single `kb_stage.kb_proposals` row of type `attach_evidence` (or `add_edge` for pure graph additions). The packet contains:\n\n- source candidate rows with types, refs, and dates\n- proposed claim nodes with headlines, bodies, confidence levels, and evidence tiers\n- edge specifications with types and target claim IDs\n- rationale explaining why this is not a duplicate and why the evidence tier is what it is\n- explicit contradictions surfaced and how they were resolved or flagged\n\nThe proposal does not commit to `public.*`. It sits in staging for review.\n\n---\n\nTHE RECEIPTS YOU SHOULD SEE\n\nAfter the process runs, you want to verify four things:\n\n1. `teleo-kb list-proposals --status pending_review` shows a new proposal with a fresh `created_at` timestamp. That proves the write path worked.\n\n2. `teleo-kb show-proposal ` returns the full packet including source references, proposed claim text, evidence tier, and edge specs. That proves the content is complete enough to review.\n\n3. After an operator approves and an admin applies it, `teleo-kb status` shows new counts in `claims`, `sources`, `claim_evidence`, and `claim_edges`. That proves canonicalization happened.\n\n4. `teleo-kb edges ` returns the specified edges. That proves the graph is connected, not just a new isolated node.\n\nIf step 3 shows identical counts to before apply, the apply did not land \u2014 approved is not the same as applied, and you need postflight to close that gap.\n\n---\n\nWhat this process guards against is the failure mode Cory saw live: material gets discussed, it feels like it entered the KB, but the canonical row count does not move. The receipts are the only proof.

Here is the exact truth test.\n\n---\n\nTHE CHAIN FROM DB TO RUNTIME\n\nThere are three distinct layers. Getting a correction into canonical identity requires passing all three, in order.\n\nLayer 1: Postgres canonical rows\nLayer 2: SOUL.md as rendered artifact\nLayer 3: Runtime injection at session start\n\n---\n\nLAYER 1 \u2014 POSTGRES (the source of truth)\n\nA correction to Leo's worldview is canonical only when new or updated rows exist in `public.claims`, `public.sources`, `public.claim_evidence`, or `public.claim_edges` \u2014 or in the identity tables if identity-specific schema exists.\n\nThe truth test here is exact: run `teleo-kb status` and compare claim/evidence/edge counts before and after the proposed change. If the counts are identical, the correction is not in the DB. Right now the counts are `claims: 1837`, `sources: 4145`, `claim_edges: 4916`, `claim_evidence: 4670`. Those numbers are the baseline. Any correction that does not move at least one of them has not reached Layer 1.\n\nA correction made in chat \u2014 even one I acknowledged and appeared to absorb \u2014 does not touch these rows. Runtime memory is session-scoped continuity, not canonical truth. The memory tool stores procedural preferences and environment facts; it does not write to `public.*`.\n\n---\n\nLAYER 2 \u2014 SOUL.md (a rendered artifact, not the source)\n\nSOUL.md is generated from Postgres, not the other way around. Editing SOUL.md directly breaks the chain: you have changed the rendered output without changing the source. On the next render cycle, if the render pulls fresh from Postgres, your SOUL.md edit gets overwritten. If the render is stale or skipped, you get a divergence where the file says one thing and the DB says another.\n\nThe truth test here: after any SOUL.md edit, run a diff between the file's current content and what a fresh render from Postgres would produce. If they diverge, the file edit is ephemeral. There is currently no proof that a sync/render pipeline ran after the edit, and no evidence in `kb_proposals` of a DB change that would back the edit. So the SOUL.md change is real on disk today and potentially gone after the next render.\n\n---\n\nLAYER 3 \u2014 RUNTIME INJECTION\n\nAt session start, Leo's identity context is injected from SOUL.md (or its rendered equivalent). So the runtime only sees what Layer 2 contains at the moment of injection. If Layer 2 is stale or was edited without a backing DB change, the runtime gets the edited version \u2014 until the next render overwrites it.\n\nThe truth test here: restart the session and inspect what the injected identity context actually says. If the correction appears there, it survived to runtime \u2014 but that only holds until the next render from a DB that does not contain it.\n\n---\n\nWHAT DURABLE LOOKS LIKE\n\nA correction survives a restart and every future restart only when all three layers are aligned:\n\n1. A proposal in `kb_stage.kb_proposals` with the correction clearly specified \u2014 this is the staging proof\n2. That proposal transitions from `approved` to `applied`, with a non-null `applied_at` timestamp \u2014 approved is not the same as applied\n3. `teleo-kb status` shows changed counts versus the pre-correction baseline \u2014 this is the canonical proof\n4. SOUL.md re-renders from the updated DB \u2014 this is the artifact proof\n5. A fresh restart injects the updated SOUL.md \u2014 this is the runtime proof\n\nRight now: DB readback: claims: `1837`; sources: `4145`; claim_edges: `4916`; claim_evidence: `4670`; kb_proposals: `26`.\n\nThe counts have not moved since the last session. The chat correction and the SOUL.md edit are both pre-canonical. Neither will survive a restart reliably without a proposal, an operator apply, and a postflight render sync.\n\n---\n\nThe shortest answer: a chat correction is runtime memory, not DB truth. A SOUL.md edit is a file-layer patch with no DB backing. Identity is canonical only when Postgres rows changed, SOUL.md re-rendered from those rows, and a restart injected the new render.

Read-only only.", "prompt_id": "OOS-05", "reply": "No. A Telegram attachment on disk and a proposal pointing to it are two entirely different things from canonical evidence. Here is the exact link chain to audit and what valid receipts look like at each step.\n\n---\n\nTHE FOUR LAYERS YOU MUST WALK\n\nLayer 1: The file on disk\n\nThe attachment exists at a path like `/home/teleo/.hermes/profiles/leoclean/cache/documents/doc_e37afcd86605_teleo_agent_strategy_kernels_2026-06-30.md`. That is a cache artifact. Its presence proves Telegram ingestion worked. It proves nothing about the KB. The KB does not know this file exists unless a source row points to it.\n\nLayer 2: The proposal's source_ref\n\nThe proposal (`ac036c9d`) carries `source_ref: telegram-doc:/home/teleo/.hermes/profiles/leoclean/cache/documents/doc_e37afcd86605_teleo_agent_strategy_kernels_2026-06-30.md; session:20260705_claim_shape`. That reference lives inside `kb_stage.kb_proposals`. It is a staging-layer pointer, not a canonical row. The KB cannot reason over a `source_ref` field inside a proposal payload.\n\nLayer 3: A row in `public.sources`\n\nFor the KB to treat the attachment as evidence, a row must exist in `public.sources` with a stable ref matching that file, a type, an author, and a date. Right now there is no proof such a row exists for this document \u2014 the proposal has `applied_at: none`, so the apply worker has never run. The source row was never written.\n\nLayer 4: A row in `public.claim_evidence`\n\nEven if a `public.sources` row existed, evidence is not attached to a claim until a row exists in `public.claim_evidence` linking a specific claim ID to a specific source ID with an excerpt anchor. The proposal payload specifies those anchors (e.g. `knowledge_of_particular_circumstances`, `price_system_condenses_information`) but they are payload intent, not DB fact.\n\n---\n\nTHE SPECIFIC GAPS IN THIS PROPOSAL\n\nThe proposal payload names three source candidates: the strategy-kernel document, m3ta's Telegram feedback, and the Hayek FEA snapshot. Each names a `source_key`. None of those source keys have been looked up in `public.sources` because apply never ran. The extracted text on disk (Hayek at `/home/teleo/.hermes/profiles/leoclean/kb_stage/research/claim-node-standard/hayek_fee_text.txt`) is a research file in the staging area, not a canonical source. The excerpt anchors in the payload are intent markers, not `claim_evidence` row IDs.\n\nCurrent state: the proposal is `approved`, `applied_at: none`. The canonical tables are unchanged from the baseline. DB readback: claims: `1837`; sources: `4145`; claim_edges: `4916`; claim_evidence: `4670`; kb_proposals: `26`.\n\n---\n\nWHAT A VALID BEFORE-AND-AFTER RECEIPT LOOKS LIKE\n\nBefore apply, record the exact counts. You already have them above.\n\nAfter apply, you need to see all of the following:\n\nFirst: `teleo-kb status` returns counts higher than baseline. At minimum `sources` increases by the number of new source rows written, `claim_evidence` increases by the number of new evidence links, and `claims` increases if new claim nodes were created. If any of those numbers are identical to before, the corresponding layer did not land.\n\nSecond: `teleo-kb show ` returns the claim headline and body for each new claim node. This proves the claim row exists in `public.claims` with the correct content, not just that apply ran without erroring.\n\nThird: `teleo-kb evidence ` returns at least one evidence row linking to a source, with the excerpt anchor. This proves the `public.claim_evidence` row exists and the source ID resolves. A claim with zero evidence rows after an attach_evidence apply is a failed apply.\n\nFourth: `teleo-kb edges ` returns the specified edges. The proposal specifies `revises_or_refines` against `7da4851c-0aac-4084-a99f-baeeeb3aa23e` (the existing Hayek claim) and `supports` against the internet-finance draft. If those edges are absent, the graph is not connected.\n\nFifth: the proposal's own `applied_at` field becomes non-null. Check with `teleo-kb show-proposal ac036c9d-20a0-4ffe-881f-57d6b7bacf22` after apply. If `applied_at` is still a dash, apply did not complete.\n\n---\n\nThe short version: a file on disk plus a proposal pointing to it is three steps short of canonical evidence. The receipt chain is apply runs, source row written, claim_evidence row written with excerpt anchor, edges written, applied_at non-null, postflight counts higher than baseline. Every link in that chain needs to show a row ID, not just a file path.\n\nNext Cory-style follow-up: validate that `ac036c9d` has a strict `apply_payload` the worker can consume, then run the apply under operator authorization and pull the five-number count receipt plus `teleo-kb evidence` on the new Hayek claim ID.", "started_at_utc": "2026-07-13T04:33:51.847021+00:00", "turn": 5 }, { "claim_ceiling": "Live VPS GatewayRunner reply from temp leoclean profile; no Telegram post; no production DB apply authorized.", "dimension": "database_composition_judgment", "ended_at_utc": "2026-07-13T04:35:20.734938+00:00", "evidence_tier": "live_vps_gatewayrunner_temp_profile", "mutates_kb": false, "ok": true, "prompt": "Suppose a new research packet contains factual observations, a strategic framework, a disputed interpretation, a governance rule, and a correction to an old belief. How should Leo compose the database so it can reason over the packet later without flattening it all into claims? Give the review and apply sequence too, but do not write anything now.", "prompt_id": "OOS-06", "reply": "Five different epistemic types, five different treatments. Here is how each maps to DB structure, then the review and apply sequence.\n\n---\n\nTHE FIVE TYPES AND HOW THEY LAND\n\nFACTUAL OBSERVATION\n\nThese go into `public.claims` as empirical nodes with evidence tier `likely`, confidence anchored to the source quality, and at least one `public.claim_evidence` row linking to a `public.sources` row with an excerpt anchor. The claim headline states the observation precisely enough to be falsified. The body states what the observation covers, what it does not cover, and what would overturn it. Edges connect it to any existing claim it supports, contradicts, or refines.\n\nWhat you must not do: bundle multiple observations into one claim node. One observation, one node. Bundling hides the individual falsifiability of each component and makes later graph reasoning unreliable.\n\nSTRATEGIC FRAMEWORK\n\nThis is not a claim. A framework is a reasoning tool \u2014 a structured lens for interpreting a class of situations. It belongs as a `reasoning_tool` or concept-map node, not in `public.claims`. The node carries a description of the framework, its scope of application, its known limitations, and the primary source it derives from. Child nodes (the framework's constituent parts, e.g. Helmer's seven powers) attach as subordinate concept nodes.\n\nClaims derived from applying the framework to specific situations are separate claim nodes that carry an edge of type `draws_from` pointing back to the framework node. This keeps the framework itself neutral and reusable across multiple inference contexts. If the framework node lives in `public.claims` flattened as a single claim, later reasoning cannot distinguish \"the framework says X\" from \"we believe X.\"\n\nDISPUTED INTERPRETATION\n\nThis gets its own claim node with confidence explicitly low (0.3\u20130.5 range typically), evidence tier `experimental` or `speculative`, and a `counterclaims` field in the body naming the competing interpretation. Both the supported reading and the competing reading should exist as separate claim nodes connected by a `contradicts` edge. The dispute is not resolved at staging time \u2014 it is recorded accurately. If the dispute has a known scope (e.g. two analysts disagree about the same data), that scope qualifier goes in both nodes.\n\nDo not pick one side and discard the other. The graph's value in a disputed case is precisely that it holds the tension rather than collapsing it. Reviewers can later add evidence that resolves it; until then the contradiction is live information.\n\nGOVERNANCE RULE\n\nThis does not belong in `public.claims` at all. A governance rule is a durable behavioral constraint on how Leo operates, not an empirical proposition about the world. It belongs in a governance or process schema \u2014 in practice recorded in `kb_stage` or a dedicated governance table, and reflected in the soul/identity context at render time.\n\nThe distinction matters for reasoning: Leo should be able to cite a governance rule as a constraint without treating it as a claim that could be falsified by evidence. Mixing governance rules into the claims graph creates a category error where Leo might reason \"evidence suggests the governance rule is wrong\" when the correct response is \"the governance rule requires a separate review and amendment process.\"\n\nCORRECTION TO AN OLD BELIEF\n\nThis is the most structurally complex type. The old belief is a live node in `public.claims`. The correction does not delete it \u2014 it supersedes it via a `supersedes` edge from the new node to the old. The old node gets a `superseded_by` edge pointing to the new. Both nodes remain in the graph so the history is preserved.\n\nThe new node carries the corrected content, a higher or lower confidence as appropriate, and a body that explicitly states what changed and why \u2014 this is the correction rationale. The evidence row for the new node should cite the specific source that motivated the correction. If the correction came from operator direction (m3ta in chat), that Telegram session is itself a source row.\n\nWhat you must not do: directly edit the old node's content in place without an edge trail. In-place edits erase the correction history and make it impossible to audit how Leo's beliefs evolved.\n\n---\n\nHOLDING THE STRUCTURE TOGETHER: THE CONCEPT MAP\n\nThe five types above are not independent. A research packet typically has a spine: the factual observations ground the disputed interpretation, the framework provides the lens used to interpret them, the old belief was formed under a different framework, and the governance rule applies when acting on the corrected belief.\n\nThat spine is recorded as a concept map \u2014 a set of edges across nodes of different types that specifies the inferential relationships. The concept map is not a sixth node; it emerges from the edge specifications. The review step checks that the spine is coherent, not just that the individual nodes are well-formed.\n\n---\n\nREVIEW SEQUENCE\n\nThe proposal packet arrives in `kb_stage.kb_proposals` as a single `attach_evidence` or composite proposal carrying all five typed components.\n\nStep one: type audit. The reviewer checks that each component is assigned the correct node type. Framework flattened into a claim gets sent back for restructuring. Governance rule staged as a claim gets sent back. This is the most common failure mode in complex packets.\n\nStep two: deduplication pass. Each proposed claim node gets checked against existing `public.claims` via `teleo-kb search`. The factual observations are most likely to collide with existing nodes. If a collision exists, the question is whether to attach new evidence to the old node or supersede it. The reviewer specifies which.\n\nStep three: contradiction check. The disputed interpretation node is explicitly checked for existing nodes it contradicts. The reviewer confirms the `contradicts` edge targets the correct existing node ID, or flags a missing node that needs to be created to hold the competing position.\n\nStep four: edge completeness. Every node must have at least one edge connecting it to the existing graph. An isolated node with no edges is not reviewable as knowledge \u2014 it is a note. The reviewer checks that the concept-map spine is fully specified in the edge list before approval.\n\nStep five: governance separation. The reviewer confirms the governance rule is not staged as a `public.claims` row, and that the soul/identity render path will pick it up from wherever it is correctly stored.\n\nApproval is granted per component if the packet has mixed readiness. It is valid to approve the factual observations and framework node while sending the disputed interpretation back for a more careful counterclaim specification.\n\n---\n\nAPPLY SEQUENCE\n\nApply is ordered by dependency, not by packet order.\n\nFirst: source rows. All `public.sources` rows must exist before any `public.claim_evidence` rows can point to them. The apply worker writes sources first and captures the returned source IDs.\n\nSecond: new claim nodes that have no dependency on other new nodes in the packet. The factual observations typically land here.\n\nThird: the framework/reasoning-tool node.\n\nFourth: the correction node, which requires the old belief's existing claim ID to be known so the `supersedes` edge can be written correctly.\n\nFifth: the disputed interpretation node, which requires the competing interpretation's claim ID \u2014 either an existing one or one just written in step two.\n\nSixth: all edges, written after all nodes exist, using the confirmed IDs from prior steps.\n\nSeventh: governance rule, routed to the correct non-claims table or soul render path.\n\n---\n\nPOSTFLIGHT RECEIPTS\n\nAfter apply, you need to be able to answer six questions from DB readback alone:\n\nOne: does `public.claims` contain distinct rows for the observation, the framework-derived claim, the disputed interpretation, and the correction \u2014 each with different node types and confidence values?\n\nTwo: does `public.sources` contain a row for each cited source, with a stable ref?\n\nThree: does `public.claim_evidence` link each claim to its source with an excerpt anchor?\n\nFour: does the old belief have a `superseded_by` edge, and does the new correction node have a `supersedes` edge pointing back?\n\nFive: does the disputed interpretation node have a `contradicts` edge to the competing position?\n\nSix: does the framework node exist as a non-claim reasoning-tool node, and do the claims that use it carry `draws_from` edges to it?\n\nIf any answer is no, the packet is partially applied and the gap is a specific missing row type, not a general failure. The postflight receipt names exactly which rows are present and which are absent \u2014 that is the difference between a packet that is partially useful to Leo tomorrow and one that is silently incomplete.", "started_at_utc": "2026-07-13T04:34:32.520095+00:00", "turn": 6 }, { "claim_ceiling": "Live VPS GatewayRunner reply from temp leoclean profile; no Telegram post; no production DB apply authorized.", "dimension": "same_session_memory_set", "ended_at_utc": "2026-07-13T04:35:30.885676+00:00", "evidence_tier": "live_vps_gatewayrunner_temp_profile", "mutates_kb": false, "ok": true, "prompt": "From everything you checked in this conversation, pick the single highest-impact demo blocker.
