Garry Tan d75402bbd2 v1.6.4.0: cut Haiku classifier FP from 44% to 23%, gate now enforced (#1135)
* 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
  stop-loss rule spec
- TODOS: mark "Cut Haiku FP 44% → ~15%" P0 as SHIPPED with pointer
  to CHANGELOG and v1 plan

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."
