GSTA-23's census 37228573062 failed plan-eng-multi-finding-batching with
reviewCount=0 after 975 s although D1-D10 were asked one per finding,
each with its saved decision-ledger record. The report wrote 'Report
destination requested by the user. Review target (fixed): `PLAN.md` ...'
and the counter read target fields only at a line start, so no brief
inherited the plan identity. A target field may now open any sentence of
its line; a mid-sentence mention or another file still gives no identity.
Floor (3), budget and kind unchanged. Corpus: 9 earlier passing censuses,
the red (now credited at D5), and a derived batching refusal; 975 s noted
in the headroom diagnosis.
docs/evals/census-red.md walks one red line to a diagnosis: prerequisites, the
report fields, eval:pass-rates --run/--reds/--headroom with expected output,
what unknown/insufficient/unrecorded data means, free replay, and the single
'after a repair' paid run allowed by TESTING_INTERNALS. Linked from
CONTRIBUTING, TESTING_INTERNALS and both census reports.
TESTING_INTERNALS documents the failure_cause glossary (one row per
FAILURE_CAUSES value, diagnostic only under EVAL_POLICY v1), failure_detail,
sessions[], cost_known, the session ledger, the pass-rates views and the 85%
headroom alarm, main-only tracking issues, overlay contract v4, auq-matrix's
3-sample substance panel and the E5/E6 periodic cases. troubleshooting.md
gains #bun-too-old and an anchor per new user-facing message from lanes P, D
and F. README names GSTACK_DESIGN_IMAGE_MODEL. test/census-red-docs.test.ts
pins the glossary to FAILURE_CAUSES, parses every guide command and checks the
links.
C1 controls showed the qa workflow judge passing /qa without Phase 10 and
the review judge passing /review without Step 3. The new test pins every
step/phase heading of qa, qa-only, review, ship, plan-ceo-review,
plan-eng-review and setup-deploy (derived from the templates' step
headings) and names any that goes missing or out of order; new step
headings must be pinned. The judge rubric is unchanged (EVAL_POLICY).
docs/evals/detector-inventory.md lists every pass/fail decision in gate
and periodic E2E cases that rests on phrases in model free text, with
its structured source (if any), whether the contract is user-visible,
and a disposition: already structured-first, convert candidate, phrase
witness required, or no structured source. Convert candidates are
ordered by census red history.
Positive (production bundle), negative (headings only) and one targeted
execution-blocking defect per judge, one 3-sample panel each, built with the
eval's own reader, prompt builder, options and floors.
* feat(security): v2 ensemble tuning — label-first voting + SOLO_CONTENT_BLOCK
Cuts Haiku classifier false-positive rate from 44.1% → 22.9% on
BrowseSafe-Bench smoke. Detection trades from 67.3% → 56.2%; the
lost TPs are all cases Haiku correctly labeled verdict=warn
(phishing targeting users, not agent hijack) — they still surface
in the WARN banner meta but no longer kill the session.
Key changes:
- combineVerdict: label-first voting for transcript_classifier. Only
meta.verdict==='block' block-votes; verdict==='warn' is a soft
signal. Missing meta.verdict never block-votes (backward-compat).
- Hallucination guard: verdict='block' at confidence < LOG_ONLY (0.40)
drops to warn-vote — prevents malformed low-conf blocks from going
authoritative.
- New THRESHOLDS.SOLO_CONTENT_BLOCK = 0.92 decoupled from BLOCK (0.85).
Label-less content classifiers (testsavant, deberta) need a higher
solo-BLOCK bar because they can't distinguish injection from
phishing-targeting-user. Transcript keeps label-gated solo path
(verdict=block AND conf >= BLOCK).
- THRESHOLDS.WARN bumped 0.60 → 0.75 — borderline fires drop out of
the 2-of-N ensemble pool.
- Haiku model pinned (claude-haiku-4-5-20251001). `claude -p` spawns
from os.tmpdir() so project CLAUDE.md doesn't poison the classifier
context (measured 44k cache_creation tokens per call before the fix,
and Haiku refusing to classify because it read "security system"
from CLAUDE.md and went meta).
- Haiku timeout 15s → 45s. Measured real latency is 17-33s end-to-end
(Claude Code session startup + Haiku); v1's 15s caused 100% timeout
when re-measured — v1's ensemble was effectively L4-only in prod.
- Haiku prompt rewritten: explicit block/warn/safe criteria, 8 few-shot
exemplars (instruction-override → block; social engineering → warn;
discussion-of-injection → safe).
Test updates:
- 5 existing combineVerdict tests adapted for label-first semantics
(transcript signals now need meta.verdict to block-vote).
- 6 new tests: warn-soft-signal, three-way-block-with-warn-transcript,
hallucination-guard-below-floor, above-floor-label-first,
backward-compat-missing-meta.

* test(security): live + fixture-replay bench harness with 500-case capture
Adds two new benches that permanently guard the v2 tuning:
- security-bench-ensemble-live.test.ts (opt-in via GSTACK_BENCH_ENSEMBLE=1).
Runs full ensemble on BrowseSafe-Bench smoke with real Haiku calls.
Worker-pool concurrency (default 8, tunable via
GSTACK_BENCH_ENSEMBLE_CONCURRENCY) cuts wall clock from ~2hr to
~25min on 500 cases. Captures Haiku responses to fixture for replay.
Subsampling via GSTACK_BENCH_ENSEMBLE_CASES for faster iteration.
Stop-loss iterations write to ~/.gstack-dev/evals/stop-loss-iter-N-*
WITHOUT overwriting canonical fixture.
- security-bench-ensemble.test.ts (CI gate, deterministic replay).
Replays captured fixture through combineVerdict, asserts
detection >= 55% AND FP <= 25%. Fail-closed when fixture is missing
AND security-layer files changed in branch diff. Uses
`git diff --name-only base` (two-dot) to catch both committed
and working-tree changes — `git diff base...HEAD` would silently
skip in CI after fixture lands.
- browse/test/fixtures/security-bench-haiku-responses.json — 500 cases
× 3 classifier signals each. Header includes schema_version, pinned
model, component hashes (prompt, exemplars, thresholds, combiner,
dataset version). Any change invalidates the fixture and forces
fresh live capture.
- docs/evals/security-bench-ensemble-v2.json — durable PR artifact
with measured TP/FN/FP/TN, 95% CIs, knob state, v1 baseline delta.
Checked in so reviewers can see the numbers that justified the ship.
Measured baseline on the new harness:
TP=146 FN=114 FP=55 TN=185 → 56.2% / 22.9% → GATE PASS

* chore(release): v1.5.1.0 — cut Haiku FP 44% → 23%
- VERSION: 1.5.0.0 → 1.5.1.0 (TUNING bump)
- CHANGELOG: [1.5.1.0] entry with measured numbers, knob list, and

Measured: 56.2% detection (CI 50.1-62.1) / 22.9% FP (CI 18.1-28.6)
on 500-case BrowseSafe-Bench smoke. Gate passes (floor 55%, ceiling 25%).

* docs(changelog): add v1.6.4.0 placeholder entry at top
Per CLAUDE.md branch-scoped discipline, our VERSION 1.6.4.0 needs a CHANGELOG entry at the top so readers can tell what's on this branch vs main. Honest placeholder: no user-facing runtime changes yet, two merges bringing branch up to main's v1.6.3.0, and the approved injection-tuning plan is queued but unimplemented.
Gets replaced by the real release-summary at /ship time after Phases -1 through 10 land.
* docs(changelog): strip process minutiae from entries; rewrite v1.6.4.0
CLAUDE.md — new CHANGELOG rule: only document what shipped between main and this change. Keep out branch resyncs, merge commits, plan approvals, review outcomes, scope negotiations, "work queued" or "in-progress" framing. When no user-facing change actually landed, one sentence is the entry: "Version bump for branch-ahead discipline. No user-facing changes yet."
CHANGELOG.md — v1.6.4.0 entry rewritten to match. Previous version narrated the branch history, the approved injection-tuning plan, and what we expect to ship later — all of which are process minutiae readers do not care about.
* docs(changelog): rewrite v1.6.4.0; strip process minutiae
Rewrote v1.6.4.0 entry to follow the new CLAUDE.md rule: only document what shipped between main and this change. Previous entry narrated the branch history, the approved injection-tuning plan, and what we expect to ship later, all process minutiae readers do not care about.
v1.6.4.0 now reads: what the detection tuning did for users, the before/after numbers, the stop-loss rule, and the itemized changes for contributors.
CLAUDE.md — new rule: only document what shipped between main and this change. Keep out branch resyncs, merge commits, plan approvals, review outcomes, scope negotiations, "work queued" / "in-progress" framing. If nothing user-facing landed, one sentence: "Version bump for branch-ahead discipline. No user-facing changes yet."
