Dragan Spiridonov e5a7719aa7 feat(#569): add AQE_COVERAGE_NO_EXEC opt-out; broaden credential stripping (#568)
Closes the two security questions raised by the adversarial review that the
prosecutors never returned a ruling on, so I settled them with evidence.

1. Coverage measurement executes the analyzed repository.
   Collecting real coverage means running the project's own tests: the JS/TS path
   runs `npx vitest|jest|nyc` (pre-existing), and the Rust path added in this
   release runs `cargo llvm-cov`, which compiles and runs test binaries, executes
   `build.rs`, and honors any `runner`/linker directive in that repo's
   `.cargo/config.toml`. For a trusted project that is exactly what the caller
   wants; it is surprising for an operation that reads like a static query, and an
   agent can be pointed at an untrusted checkout.

   Execution stays the default — requiring opt-in would make measured coverage the
   exceptional case and estimation the norm, inverting ADR-126's whole point — but
   is now opt-out via `AQE_COVERAGE_NO_EXEC=1`, which disables ALL build-tool
   execution. Existing coverage reports are still parsed; everything else degrades
   to clearly-labelled static estimation with guidance explaining why.

   Verified end-to-end through the real MCP server with a fake `cargo` shim on
   PATH: switch off -> cargo invoked; switch on -> not invoked. The unit test
   includes the same control, so it cannot pass vacuously.

2. Credential stripping in agentOverrides was already complete, but under-reported.
   `sanitizeAgentOverrides` builds its result as an ALLOW-LIST, so any field that
   is not provider/model/temperature/maxTokens/priority never survives — apiKey,
   token, password and friends were all dropped already. Only the *warning* was
   apiKey-specific, so a user who pasted a token got no feedback. The warning now
   covers all credential-shaped keys, and a test asserts no warning ever echoes a
   secret value.

ADR-126 gains a section recording the execution decision and what was rejected
(opt-in-by-default, sandboxing), plus the requirement that future language
delegations honor the same switch.

Dragan Spiridonov 9b6de39792 fix: resolve issues #565, #567, #568, #569 (deps, LLM wiring, agent routing, coverage honesty)
Four independent user-reported issues, each verified end-to-end through the real
MCP protocol server and adversarially reviewed via qe-court.

#565 — HIGH CVE reachable by consumers
`@huggingface/transformers` was an *optional* peerDependency, but npm >=7
auto-installs optional peers — `optional` only suppresses the error when the peer
cannot be resolved. Every `npm install agentic-qe` therefore pulled
onnxruntime-node -> adm-zip@0.5.x (GHSA-xcpc-8h2w-3j85), and no resolvable
version of that chain is unaffected. Dropped the peer (it stays a devDependency
and an opt-in for local in-process embeddings; both load sites already degrade
with an actionable message). Consumer audit: 4 HIGH -> 0.

#567 — test_generate_enhanced never invoked the LLM
The DI factory behind the task-executor path was registered as `(memory) => ...`,
so `llmRouter` never reached TestGeneratorService and the ADR-051 branch was
unreachable regardless of provider configuration. Threaded the router through the
registry -> resolveTestGeneratorService -> getTestGenerator (now async), honored
the documented `aiEnhancement` opt-out, and surfaced `llmEnhanced` /
`generationMode` / `note` so a silent fallback is diagnosable. `llmEnhanced` now
reflects what the LLM actually produced — a broken provider (401/timeout/empty)
no longer reports AI-enhanced output it did not produce. The CLI was unaffected
(it goes through the domain plugin, which was already wired).

#568 — per-agent provider routing had no on-disk surface
Added `agentOverrides` to `.agentic-qe/llm-config.json` with keyed-object merge,
validation that drops bad entries individually and strips leaked API keys, and
resolution ahead of the category defaults. Materialized the overrides into
routing rules the router actually evaluates, and threaded `agentType` through all
nine router-calling domain services — without it a parsed override built a rule
that never fired. Also added the missing `codex` entry to ALL_PROVIDER_TYPES,
which had made that provider unselectable through the router.

#569 — coverage_analyze_sublinear reported fabricated data for Rust
Coverage now carries provenance (`estimated` / `measured` / `coverageMethod`),
uncollected branch and function metrics report `null` instead of 0 or 100, gaps
derived from an estimate carry low confidence and an `estimated` flag, and Rust
crates are measured with `cargo llvm-cov` where available. Test code (`tests/`,
`benches/`, brace-matched `#[cfg(test)]` blocks) is excluded from production
coverage, and line numbers can no longer exceed the file length. Security scans
now state their analysis depth so "zero findings" is not read as "verified clean".

Adversarial review (qe-court, cross-vendor) found and this commit fixes: an
anchoring bug that dropped `latest_parser.rs` as a test file; brace matching that
counted braces inside string literals and comments; `#[cfg(test)]` on a
non-module item swallowing the following production function; crate detection
that skipped instrumentation for subdirectory targets, over-claimed nonexistent
targets, and hijacked polyglot subtrees; and a Cobertura fallback that rounded a
measured 47% to 0%.

ADR-125 (on-disk agent routing overrides) and ADR-126 (measurement provenance)
document the decisions; ADR-115 gains an amendment on optional peers.

Dragan Spiridonov 5f323ec77c feat(skills): add qe-court adversarial review skill (ADR-124)
QE-Court convenes independent, cross-vendor AI reviewers against a delivery
(diff / PR / test-suite), makes them file charges from their own probe sets,
then forces any SHIP verdict to SURVIVE an escalating deeper review before it
stands (loop-until-dry overturn). Verdict is 3-valued — SHIP / REMAND / BLOCK —
with a human as final judge. It is the reference implementation of ADR-124; the
hosted sibling is the planned Cognitum /v1/qe/verdict endpoint.

The skill is an orchestration layer that COMPOSES existing assets — it does not
reimplement critics:
  - Prosecutors: qe-devils-advocate, brutal-honesty-review, sherlock-review,
    qe-security-scanner, qe-mutation-tester, and `codex exec review` (cross-vendor
    GPT lens — the strongest form of writer≠juror).
  - Kill round: src/verification/adversarial-verify. Jury: two-gate judge (ADR-119).
  - Evidence: provenance tiers (ADR-121), signed receipt (ADR-118).

Configurable per-role model routing (config.json `routing`) across Claude /
Cognitum tiers / OpenRouter / Codex / local, all through the ADR-123 provider
layer (budget caps + receipts). Invariants: >=2 distinct vendors, jury vendor
!= writer, DoE-gated scoring (no un-validated "91/100").

Self-learning (ADR-124 M0.B/C): signed court records feed the flywheel; reproduced
charges become oracle-tier qe_patterns; an overturned SHIP is persisted as a
discriminator training pair for the frozen anchor + two-gate judge.

Ships via `aqe init` (added to V3_DOMAIN_SKILLS; auto-installed, not excluded)
and the assets/ npm mirror. Includes a runnable acceptance eval + a seeded-mutant
fixture (a boundary off-by-one a shallow reviewer rates SHIP; the overturn round
must flip it, and MUST regress to SHIP at overturnDepth=0). trust_tier 1 until the
eval runs green (>=5 oracle cases) → then tier 3.

Skill count: 75 -> 76 user-facing (totalQESkills 81 -> 82). Parity clean.

Dragan Spiridonov b9a4b4c6e8 feat(llm): billing-aware execution — subscription provider, enforced budgets, real eval (ADR-123)
Closes the structural gap from issue #557: AQE could only bill the paid
Anthropic API even for Pro/Max subscribers, and its budget caps were never
enforced.

- claude-code provider: run QE via `claude -p` on the user's subscription;
  child env strips API-billing keys so it can't revert to API billing
- Enforced cross-process spend caps (--max-budget-usd / AQE_MAX_BUDGET_USD),
  persisted to memory.db (llm_spend); enforced on the ProviderManager AND
  HybridRouter paths; over-budget aborts with COST_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
- cognitum provider: OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible gateway with per-request
  cost receipts, embeddings, and a server-side hard cap
- Billing-mode taxonomy + startup notice + `aqe health` LLM Billing section
- config-store: honor explicit `enabled: false` over env key presence;
  AQE_LLM_PROVIDER selector
- Fix: `aqe eval run` no longer scores fabricated mock responses — real
  provider by default, hard-error when none configured, `--mock` opt-in
- Consensus verification path prints a billing warning (deferred full port)

Dragan Spiridonov 7537fefb4e feat(doe): definitive 27/27 DoE re-run via OpenRouter — real F-tests + persisted raw data
Completes and supersedes the 2026-07-09 directional DoE (which was 25/27 cells, had
no F-test, and — the reproducibility gap found this session — never persisted its raw
data). Re-run full under the CRIT-2 design (N=5 stochastic replicates of fixed item
A1-inRange, real within-cell error term), qwen local $0 + anthropic/claude-haiku-4.5
+ anthropic/claude-opus-4.8 via OpenRouter. $1.538 total, well under the $11 budget.

Results (real main-effects ANOVA, 135 observations, first real data the aggregator
has ever consumed — previously stub-only):
- scaffold: none 1.000 >> plan-and-solve 0.311 >> reflexion 0.067
    F(2,108)=218.9, p=1.0e-38, 71.9% of variance — DOMINANT and strongly NEGATIVE.
    Both scaffolds DROP. retort's "more harness lowers reliability", now overwhelming.
- model: qwen3-coder:30b 0.644 > haiku-4.5 0.400 > opus-4.8 0.333
    F(2,108)=25.1, p=1.1e-9 — local qwen best & free; opus 5x+ cost = negative value.
    (Complete 27/27 reverses the prior unequal-n haiku>opus>qwen ordering, significantly.)
- retrieval: off 0.480 > on 0.433  F(1,108)=1.5, p=0.22 NOT significant, slightly
    negative — the ADR-118 flywheel feature-on-trial formally fails as `beads`.
    EXPLAINED by the 2026-07-10 coupling finding: A1-inRange is a no-headroom item
    the models know cold, so a retrieved exemplar has nothing to add.
- prompt: TDD 0.533 > ATDD 0.467 > neutral 0.378  F(2,108)=5.7, p=4.5e-3.

Changes:
- scripts/doe-run.ts: cloud path rewired from raw Anthropic fetch to OpenRouter
  (vendor/model ids, opus-4.8 not opus-4-7, exact per-call cost from usage.cost).
- docs/implementation/doe-run-2026-07-10.jsonl: raw per-cell data persisted IN-REPO
  (fixes the gap that lost the 2026-07-09 run's data).
- DOE-HARNESS-SCREEN-DESIGN.md §Results (DEFINITIVE) + ADR-122 status/history updated;
  prior directional run retained, marked SUPERSEDED.

Verified: tsc 0 errors; $0 --stub and --smoke pipelines green before the metered run.

Dragan Spiridonov 68c8914f92 feat(learning-integrity): live coupling validation closes CRIT-1 — mechanism real but headroom-gated
Runs the CRIT-1 coupling experiment live on qwen3-coder:30b (Ollama, $0) and
characterizes EXACTLY when the ADR-118 flywheel's retrieval helps generated tests.

Result (N=5/condition, mutation-oracle graded, end-to-end "runs∧kills" response):
- POSITIVE CONTROL (POS-reserved — an arbitrary system-specific rule the model
  cannot know a priori, a proxy for project-specific corpus knowledge):
    NONE 0.00 / IRRELEVANT 0.00 / RELEVANT 1.00  →  gain +1.00  COUPLING VALIDATED.
  Without the exemplar qwen can't even write a passing test; with it, a perfect one.
- TEXTBOOK (B4-isLeapYear — the century/400 rule):
    NONE 1.00 / RELEVANT 1.00  →  NO HEADROOM (the model knows the trap cold).

Conclusion: the coupling mechanism is REAL (the harness demonstrably detects it, so
its nulls are live measurements) but HEADROOM-GATED — retrieval improves tests iff
the corpus supplies knowledge the base model lacks. Generic QE edge cases are
already known to code models (30b AND 7b), which is WHY the ADR-122 DoE rated
retrieval `beads`. This explains the prior honest nulls rather than contradicting them.

Getting here required fixing three measure-the-measurement traps that had produced a
FALSE "no coupling" verdict on the first run:
- baseline floored by 500-token truncation (→ 1400) and empty-input over-reach;
- spec leaked the trap (anchor inputUnderTest spells out the edge) → no headroom →
  switched to UNDER-SPECIFIED specs graded against the frozen trap-encoding reference;
- metric conditioned on baseline, hiding retrieval's strongest effect (rescuing a
  test that otherwise can't be written) → switched to end-to-end usable-quality.

Also:
- OpenRouter wired as the cloud path (vendor/model ids; anthropic/claude-haiku-4.5
  et al. confirmed reachable), replacing the rate-limited Anthropic-direct fetch.
- coupled-anchor.test.ts: adds an honest AQE_LIVE_COUPLING-gated end-to-end test that
  fails loudly (never fabricates a pass) rather than asserting the mechanism the
  scripted unit test only assumes.
- ADR-118 status → "INFRASTRUCTURE WITH A CHARACTERIZED SIGNAL": the flywheel's
  retrieval-tuning pays off iff qe_patterns holds knowledge the base model lacks.

Verified: tsc 0 errors; coupled-anchor 1 passed + 1 skipped.

Dragan Spiridonov df183d1ea4 fix(learning-integrity): remediate brutal-honesty-review findings on ADR-117..122
Addresses the CRITICAL/HIGH/MED findings from the brutal-honesty review of the
learning-integrity cluster. The theme: the machinery was real but several claims
outran the evidence. This makes the claims honest and the evidence falsifiable.

CRIT-1 / HIGH-3 (flywheel gated vapor / toy anchor can't move):
- verification/anchors/qe-anchor-v2.json — 5 oracle-verified DISCRIMINATING items
  (13 mutants), each with a trap edge a happy-path test misses, so the anchor CAN
  actually move. v1's items were too easy to discriminate a retrieval effect.
- scripts/coupling-experiment.ts — falsifiable NONE/IRRELEVANT/RELEVANT controlled
  test (N reps, temp>0, $0 mutation-oracle grading). Live run remains blocked on
  model availability; the harness refuses to fabricate a verdict.

CRIT-2 (DoE "stats" were a range proxy):
- scripts/doe-run.ts — N real replicates of a FIXED item at temp=0.6 (was 5
  different items x1 at temp=0), per-replicate seed, plus a deterministic $0 --stub.
- scripts/doe-aggregate.mjs — real main-effects factorial ANOVA: within-cell error
  term, F-test via dependency-free regularized incomplete beta; beads verdict now
  gates on p<0.05, not an eyeballed mean delta.
- tests/unit/scripts/doe-aggregate.test.ts — F-CDF + incomplete-beta vs closed
  forms/R, planted-effect recovery (p<0.001), null factor (p>0.5), unbalanced cells.

HIGH-4 / MED-6 (over-claimed gate guarantees):
- ADR-120 gains a "Threat model and limits (honest)" section: gateReExecutes
  catches a lying log, not a buggy gate (same-process seal+rule).
- ADR-118 status reframed to "infrastructure awaiting a validated signal."
- tests/unit/validation/rule-consistency.test.ts — property test scoping what the
  gate actually guarantees (determinism, stable fingerprints, flipped-verdict).
- DOE-HARNESS-SCREEN-DESIGN.md — unequal-n note.

HIGH-5 / MED-7 (self-fulfilling test / brittle scripts):
- tests/unit/learning/mmr-scaling.test.ts — FALSIFIABLE regression for the real
  O(n^4) scoreHeldOut hang the MMR_POOL_SIZE cap fixed (96s->420ms at n=300).
- coupled-anchor.test.ts de-faked: relabeled as a MECHANISM/wiring test, documents
  that the scripted generator hardcodes the outcome and the real model was an
  honest null — no longer readable as evidence that coupling helps.
- tests/unit/validation/sealed-hash-roundtrip.test.ts — regression for the
  canonicalJson undefined-key seal bug.

Verification: tsc 0 errors; 33/33 new remediation tests + 290/290 full
validation+flywheel cluster green. No live model run (Ollama offline + Anthropic
account at usage limit) — coupling live-validation surfaced as the one honest
open item, not faked.

Dragan Spiridonov 0a8254f7a9 feat(learning): ADR-117..122 learning-integrity cluster (frozen anchor, two-gate judge, gate-reexecute, provenance tiers, receipt-gated flywheel, DoE)
Adopts the receipt-gated self-improvement discipline from the 2026-07 cross-repo
analysis of ruflo (flywheel), MetaHarness (gateReExecutes), and retort (two-gate
spec conformance + DoE). All DI'd and unit-tested (178 tests); run end-to-end on
real qe_patterns; every limitation honestly scoped.

- ADR-117 frozen oracle anchor: hash-pinned, constant-denominator eval set that
  no promotion may regress; loader throws on drift (verification/anchors/qe-anchor-v1.json).
- ADR-118 receipt-gated QE-policy flywheel: generational loop over qe_patterns,
  conjunctive frozen accept(), Ed25519-signed receipts + compounding lineage,
  durable persistence (flywheel_receipts), corpus + semantic-retriever coupling.
- ADR-119 two-gate quality verdicts: mechanical gate + frontier judge, three-valued
  (pass/fail/inconclusive) with preflight; new `aqe quality-gate` CLI + `qe/quality/gate` MCP tool.
- ADR-120 gateReExecutes: re-execute a versioned frozen rule on sealed inputs;
  catches the A8-EXT forged-promote class; retrofit onto pattern-promote + dream-apply.
- ADR-121 provenance tiers: only oracle:test-exec evidence changes fleet behavior;
  additive, conservative-backfill migration.
- ADR-122 DoE screen: model x prompt x retrieval x scaffold, run on real data
  (25/27 cells, $1.25) — scaffolding (esp. reflexion) and retrieval degrade
  reliability (the retort `beads` signature); simplest+cheapest stack wins.
- safe-db: AQE_DISABLE_WAL / AQE_JOURNAL_MODE env-gate (macOS virtiofs bind-mount
  WAL corruption mitigation; default behavior unchanged).

Honest nulls documented: the flywheel lift is on a self-supervised proxy with the
anchor held flat; making the coupled anchor move needs harder items + a relevant
corpus (an ADR-117 re-freeze), not a retriever change.

Dragan Spiridonov 53ee377aec fix(learning): close system-integrity audit gaps in dream engine, witness chain, mincut, GOAP executor, and SONA
Full remediation of docs/analysis/SYSTEM-INTEGRITY-AUDIT-2026-07-04.md's
P0-P2 findings, tracked in docs/plans/SYSTEM-INTEGRITY-REMEDIATION-GOAP-PLAN-2026-07-04.md.

Highlights:
- Dream engine: real pattern creation on insight apply, error/outcome
  concept nodes from real ADR-110 data, and a follow-up fix ensuring the
  concept refresh actually runs on the real automatic path (not just via
  test wrappers); persistTaskOutcome now genuinely promotes pending
  insights instead of blindly incrementing an applied counter
- Witness chain: Ed25519 signing wired via persistent key directory,
  archival/append-after-archival bug fixed, CI verification gate added
- Mincut: real event-bus wiring (was a no-op stub) and scaffold-vertex
  detection fixes
- GOAP: real domain-API dispatch executor replacing the always-mock one
- SONA: EWC++ cold-start deadlock fixed via independent request-count
  persistence
- ADR-110 pattern-nulls wired into the real production capture path
- Daemon/snapshot visibility, TTL unit bugs, and 8 ADRs re-statused with
  additive verification notes

Dragan Spiridonov f2742c8651 docs(adr): add ADR-116 for proof-gate + cross-ref from code
The proof-gate work cited only upstream RuVector 'ADR-194' — which is not an
AQE in-repo ADR. Adds ADR-116 (the AQE-side integration decision: port the
hash-chain to TS, opt-in/fail-soft/single-store wiring, and why NOT to depend
on the @ruvector npm packages — backed by the verified ruvllm mock-mode/demo
findings) and cross-references it from the four source/test files that cite
ADR-194, so the in-repo decision is discoverable from the code.

Comment/docs only — no behavior change.

Dragan Spiridonov 6dcb919aee feat(deps): dependency-security system + fix grpc-js HIGH (ADR-115)
Closes the gap that let @grpc/grpc-js@1.14.3 (CVE-2026-48068/48069, HIGH)
sit undetected: every existing dependency check only fires on dep-file
changes, so a CVE disclosed against a frozen pin was invisible.

Adds:
- scripts/dependency-audit.mjs    in-repo + consumer-POV audit, severity gate
- scripts/dependency-update.mjs   security-first in-range updater with a guard
                                  that refuses to drop optional @ruvector
                                  platform deps (the Dependabot lockfile bug)
- dependency-audit.yml            daily consumer-POV scan -> tracking issue
- dependency-update.yml           weekly in-range security PR (gh CLI)
- docs/guides/dependency-security-policy.md + ADR-115
- tests/unit/scripts/dependency-security.test.ts (11 hermetic tests)
- npm scripts: deps:audit[:consumer], deps:update[:all]

Also bumps @grpc/grpc-js 1.14.3 -> 1.14.4 in-range (HIGH 1 -> 0); optional
platform deps preserved (90 -> 90).

Dragan Spiridonov af4140efb9 feat(quality): oracle evals, durable-first tests, conservation guard + provider fixes
Apply Phoenix Architecture principles to AQE — regenerate internals, conserve the interface.

ADR-113 (evals are oracles, durable-first tests, mutation-score gate):
- src/validation/oracle-eval.ts grades a generated test by running it against a
  reference impl + operator mutants (reuses qe-arena, ADR-104); rejects assertion-less output
- oracle mode wired into scripts/run-skill-eval.ts (skips under the simulating runner; runs live)
- qe-test-generation rewritten durable-first; its eval flipped to oracle
- src/feedback/regenerability-gate.ts: mutation-score + regenerability gate (warn-default, opt-in block)
- live-validated: Claude sonnet-4-6 clears the oracle 5/5; weak local-model output correctly fails

ADR-114 (conservation layer, Phoenix essay 14):
- src/validation/conservation-guard.ts + scripts/conservation-guard.ts guard CLI commands,
  output schemas, and dashboard API against breaking removals (deprecation registry exempts)
- policy doc + baselines in verification/conservation/; wired into invariant-check.yml non-blocking

LLM provider fixes:
- OpenRouterProvider.type was 'openai' but registered under 'openrouter' -> ProviderManager
  failover never found it; fixed to 'openrouter' end-to-end
- Gemini default model gemini-1.5-pro was retired -> gemini-2.5-flash; models/pricing refreshed
  from the live Gemini ListModels API
- scripts/provider-health.ts (npm run providers:health)

Cheaper-model eval lanes:
- scripts/oracle-model-bench.ts + openrouter-models.ts; openai/gpt-oss-120b clears the oracle
  ~50-70x cheaper than Claude Sonnet; guide in docs/guides/cheaper-model-eval-lanes.md

Verification: npm run build ok; 115 new+touched tests pass; 724 LLM tests pass; lint + parity clean.

Dragan Spiridonov 9fd18ed00a feat(code-intelligence): first-class C4 architecture diagrams (ADR-112)
Consolidate C4 diagram generation onto a single engine and expose it to
users via CLI and MCP, with a deterministic confidence gate and real
Knowledge-Graph-derived relationships.

- Consolidation (C1/C6): C4ModelService is the single render/analyze/store
  engine; the bridge delegates and FAILS LOUD on a render error instead of
  silently degrading. Duplicate inline generators removed.
- C2: real component relationships from the Knowledge Graph (AST import/call
  edges) replace the naming heuristic; project-scoped via a new KG basePath
  so repos outside cwd don't trip the path-traversal guard.
- C3: deterministic confidence gate (high/medium/low + reasons) on every
  diagram — surfaces the detector's known limits instead of hiding them.
- C4/C5: `aqe code c4` CLI + `qe/code/c4` MCP tool (generate/search),
  verified at MCP-CLI parity and through the protocol-server bridge.
- Search: generate persists embeddings (opt-in `enableC4Embeddings`, on for
  MCP) so `qe/code/c4 search` returns hits in the standard flow.
- Fixed pre-existing lint in touched files (require->import, unused catches).

Docs: ADR-112 + docs/guides/c4-architecture-diagrams.md. tsc + lint clean;
C4 surface fully green.

Dragan Spiridonov 41bfa05bee docs(metaharness): ADR-111 + D3 fixture-diverse gate + plan-05 reconciliation + A11 judge harness
- ADR-111 (Accepted, scoped to the escalation lane): cheap-replaces-frontier = G-ABORT;

Dragan Spiridonov 69dd3a6a23 feat(validation): evidenceClass on Finding per ADR-105 (issue #522)
Adds EvidenceClass (EXECUTED|STATIC|INFERRED|CONJECTURE) and
EvidenceArtifact to the Finding schema, required at the type level.
requirements.ts factory defaults to STATIC (all 26 steps are
deterministic content analysis); pipeline crash-findings are EXECUTED
with the error output as artifact. Field is evidenceClass, not
evidence — StepResult.evidence: string[] already exists (ADR amended).

Verified: tsc --noEmit clean; validation-pipeline-handler tests 7/7
(MCP handler passes findings through, new field flows to MCP output).

Dragan Spiridonov bc8a37696a docs(adr): ADR-105..110 — Pattern Space cross-pollination (issue #522)
Six proposed ADRs from the universal-pattern-space QE assessment:
evidence-class labels on findings, behavioral safety evals per model
tier, shipped-agent invariant verification, benchmark lineage with
pre-registered rubrics (incl. antipattern list), interaction benchmark
for qualitative agents, kept-nulls negative pattern records.

Cross-checked against existing ADR corpus: Related fields reference
ADR-058/061/070/074/083/086/098/099/102/104; mid-task safety injection,
restraint probes, and null-vs-quarantine sequencing folded in from the
cross-check findings.

Dragan Spiridonov 07326b9802 feat(arena): ADR-104 qe-arena Phase 1 — competitive test-strategy tournaments
aqe arena run: seeded tournaments where test strategies compete on REAL
fitness — built-in first-order operator mutants (string/comment/arrow-safe
enumeration) executed per strategy via node --test, real line coverage
from --experimental-test-coverage, and a deterministic suite-cost term.
Tournament emits a Wolfram-style pairwise competitive array; --evolve
hill-climbs the winner by seeded group flips with real re-evaluation.
Runs persist fail-soft to memory.db kv_store (namespace 'arena');
aqe arena list reads them back. Self-contained: no core changes, no new
dependencies; fixtures/arena-demo ships 4 test groups of varying kill
power over a branch-dense pricing module.

Reproducibility contract: same seed + fixture => byte-identical envelope
(verified E2E by diffing two runs), with informational.runtimesMs the
only excluded field. Honest finding during verification: the original
measured-runtime rank penalty was jitter-dominated at fixture scale and
flipped rankings between identical-seed runs — replaced with the
deterministic suite-size ratio (documented in ADR-104).

Phase 2 (documented): LLM-generated strategies frozen as artifacts,
winners distilled into qe-test-architect priors; MCP arena_run
registration (CLI and MCP share runArena() — parity by construction).

10 tests green (incl. real-engine reproducibility); tsc + eslint clean.

Dragan Spiridonov e04f05742f feat(qcsd): ADR-102 deterministic workflow orchestration with adversarial verification
qcsd-development-swarm now runs as a deterministic workflow script
(.claude/workflows/qcsd-development-review.js) instead of prompt-driven
Task-tool fan-out:

- pipeline: one finder per quality dimension (TDD adherence, complexity,
  coverage gaps; qe agents as agentType) -> 3 blind adversarial refuters
  per finding -> deterministic synthesis, no agent editorializes the report
- Loki-mode constraints (ADR-074) encoded in refuter prompts: blind review
  (bare claim + evidence only), anti-sycophancy (attack the claim;
  uncertainty defaults to refuted), 3 distinct lenses
- majority kill (>= ceil(N/2) refuted votes); killed findings retained
  with refutations for audit; output is finding-verdict@1 envelopes
  (ADR-103)
- SKILL.md v1.1.0: execution.primary workflow, Task-tool fallback
  documented (reports marked verification: none)

Validation run (wf_254f1271-022): 3 dimensions over src/, 48 agents,
15 raw findings -> 14 confirmed, 1 killed by unanimous refutation of a
factually-wrong claim — the adversarial gate demonstrably filtering a
false positive. Several confirmed findings target code added earlier in
this initiative (honest signal, queued as follow-ups).

Dragan Spiridonov dc6fce5e70 feat(contracts): ADR-103 structured verdict handoffs — RiskDecision et al
Versioned, additive-only verdict envelopes for agent/MCP handoffs:
RiskDecision (quality gates), FindingVerdict (review findings with
adversarial refutations), CoverageGap (risk-weighted gaps).

- src/contracts/verdicts.ts: dependency-free validators (source of
  truth) + mirrored draft-07 JSON Schemas; no zod/ajv runtime deps
  (light-install posture preserved)
- quality_assess MCP boundary now attaches a validated riskDecision
  envelope derived from the gate outcome (approve/block, escalate when
  indeterminate) — additive, existing payload unchanged; direct and
  wrapped handlers share the same mapToResult so MCP parity is inherent
- schemas/*.schema.json published via scripts/generate-verdict-schemas.mjs
  for external ajv validation and workflow agent({schema}) enforcement
  (consumed by improvement 5)

17 contract tests (goldens validate; mutations rejected with field-level
errors; builder always emits valid envelopes). E2E: envelope emitted by
the compiled boundary builder validates with stock ajv against the
published schema; mutated sample rejected. tsc + eslint clean.

Dragan Spiridonov f2a350ba7f feat(agents): ADR-101 nested-subagent readiness — provenance, probe, validation
Anthropic announced nested subagent support (depth=5) on 2026-06-09; the
runtime currently strips Task at parent->child spawn (upstream denylist,
empirically confirmed by our committed probe: level=1 status=NO_AGENT_TOOL,
matching ruflo ADR-147). This lands the readiness infrastructure that is
independently useful today and activates with zero changes when the gate
lifts:

- aqe hooks post-task gains --parent-agent-id / --depth (validated:
  identifier charset, integer 0 <= d <= 32; depth=0 survives as 0);
  provenance persisted to qe_trajectories.metadata_json (stage 1 — no
  schema migration) and forwarded into ReasoningBank feedback so learning
  can segment patterns per hierarchy level
- TaskExecution gains optional parentAgentId/depth (additive types)
- scripts/probe-nested-spawn-depth.mjs: single-shot empirical probe,
  committed transcript under docs/probes/ — re-run after every
  `claude update`; TASK_TOOL_LIVE is the signal for follow-up phases
- fresh-project fix found by the E2E: persistTaskOutcome assumed
  captured_experiences/experience_applications exist, but they are
  middleware-created — Stream B silently no-oped on fresh installs;
  canonical DDL now ensured in the hook path

Deliberately deferred (documented in ADR-101 P1): tools: frontmatter
retrofit on shipped qe-*.md agents — Claude Code frontmatter is a
restrictive allowlist and would sever inherited MCP tool access;
needs maintainer sign-off + wildcard verification first.

8 unit tests green; E2E on a fresh temp project verified persistence,
rejections, and depth=0 boundary. tsc + eslint clean.

Dragan Spiridonov 2d5126a053 feat(hooks): ADR-100 tool-loop circuit breaker — warn at 3, block at 5
Breaks runaway retry loops: when the same Bash command fails consecutively
(normalized signature, cross-process via a small JSON sidecar under
.agentic-qe/), pre-command warns at 3 failures and emits a BLOCK
recommendation with a recovery hint at 5. Advisory by default;
AQE_STRICT_TOOL_LOOP=1 upgrades the block to a PreToolUse deny. A
successful run resets the breaker; an open breaker grants a half-open
probe after 2 minutes; stale entries pruned after 30 minutes.

Mirrors the ADR-064 domain-circuit-breaker semantics at command level.
Sidecar instead of memory.db: pre-command deliberately runs without a DB
open, and each hook call is a fresh process so in-process state is
impossible. Fail-open everywhere (corrupt state file => allow).

11 unit tests green; E2E verified with real aqe hooks pre/post-command:
warn after 3, BLOCK after 5, strict-mode deny envelope, reset on success.

Dragan Spiridonov 9c54a70656 feat(llm): ADR-088 amendment — wire enableCache to ephemeral cache breakpoints
The enableCache flag existed since ADR-011 but was never read: every
advisor/LLM call paid full input price. Now:

- ClaudeProvider.generate() sends `system` as a content-block array with
  cache_control {type: ephemeral} when enableCache (default on); plain
  string when disabled. Anthropic-native provider only (ADR-092 — other
  providers untouched).
- cache_creation_input_tokens / cache_read_input_tokens surfaced into
  TokenUsage.cacheCreationTokens/cacheReadTokens; totalTokens now counts
  the full prompt (input_tokens alone is the uncached remainder).
- CostTracker bills cache reads at 0.1x and writes at 1.25x input rate
  instead of ignoring them.

5 new provider tests assert the serialized request shape (cache_control
present when enabled, absent when disabled, no system field when no
prompt) and the usage mapping. 64/64 LLM tests green, tsc clean.

Dragan Spiridonov 8ff39f2c6e feat(learning): ADR-099 reasoning-tag scrub before distillation/embedding
Fable 5-era models emit large extended-thinking blocks inside task results
and step actions; embedding them verbatim contaminates the 384-dim pattern
vectors in memory.db and degrades HNSW retrieval.

- new scrubReasoningBlocks()/scrubReasoningDeep() (src/shared/reasoning-scrub.ts):
  boundary-gated — only well-formed <think|thinking|reasoning|
  REASONING_SCRATCHPAD>...</> pairs are removed; prose mentioning a tag
  survives; clean input returned byte-identical
- applied at ingestion: TrajectoryTracker startTrajectory task,
  recordStep action/result.data/result.error
- applied at distillation: ExperienceReplay.storeExperience task/strategy/
  keyActions (insert + embedding text)
- applied at flow-forward: both init-time embedding backfills (legacy rows
  cleaned as they get embedded — no memory.db rewrite) and retrieveSimilar
  query embeddings (symmetric with stored vectors)
- 15 unit tests; E2E verified against a temp DB: trajectory + experience
  rows persisted with all scratchpad blocks stripped

  "Fleet not initialized": autoInitialize() built kernel+queen in its own
  CLIContext while the shared MCP handlers guard on the core-handlers
  fleet-state singleton. New adoptExternalFleet() bridges the CLI's
  components into that state (idempotent, never clobbers an existing
  fleet), restoring MCP-CLI parity. Verified E2E: store/get/delete green.

Dragan Spiridonov 3bc09cda6d fix(llm-router): address 10 findings from qe-devils-advocate audit
A post-Phase-4 devil's-advocate audit identified 10 issues. All addressed
with code fixes + tests. Some were real bugs (silent billing regression,
2 unwired MCP tools, 2 HybridRouter routing bugs); others were robustness
improvements (split singletons, silent errors, decorative type fields).

Findings → fixes (severity tagged in audit report):

1. CRITICAL — silent billing regression on upgrade
   Users with ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in env would silently start paying for
   Claude API calls on every Fleet operation. The CHANGELOG's "opt out
   via code changes" wasn't sufficient — needed an env-only escape.
   Fix: AQE_LLM_ROUTER_DISABLED=1 env kill-switch honored in both
   QEKernelImpl._initializeLLMRouter and src/mcp/tools/base.ts
   getSharedLLMRouter. Truthy values disable; 'false'/'0'/'no'/'off'/''
   pass. Unified parse rule between kernel and MCP base.

2. HIGH — 2 unwired MCP standalone tools (audit said 3; QualityCriteria
   isn't LLM-aware so excluded)
   src/mcp/tools/test-generation/generate.ts:82 was calling
   createTestGeneratorService(memory) without router. Same for
   visual-accessibility/index.ts:177. Both now use the
   createXxxServiceWithDependencies factories with { memory, llmRouter }.

3. CRITICAL — E2E only tested manual routing mode, not production
   Production default is rule-based. Adding two new E2E tests for
   rule-based mode SURFACED two real bugs in HybridRouter that I fixed:

   3a. executeWithFallback hardcoded ['claude','openai','ollama'] as the
       only fallback providers; gemini/openrouter/azure-openai/bedrock
       users had no fallback even though ProviderManager can construct
       them. Plus the user's defaultProvider wasn't auto-included in the
       chain. Both fixed at src/shared/llm/router/hybrid-router.ts:612.

   3b. A non-retryable error from one provider (e.g. Claude "invalid
       x-api-key") aborted the entire fallback loop via `throw error`,
       defeating the whole point of a fallback chain. Fixed: skip the
       inter-attempt delay for non-retryable but continue to the next
       fallback entry.

4. HIGH — MCPToolContext.llmRouter field was decorative
   Added the field but no code populated it. Every getLLMRouter(context)
   call fell through to getSharedLLMRouter().
   Fix: added llmRouter and memory to BaseMCPTool.invoke() options;
   qe-tool-bridge.ts and registry.ts now explicitly forward the shared
   singleton via { llmRouter } at invoke time.

5. HIGH — 14 of 15 wired services had only STRUCTURAL verification, not
   behavioral (only TestExecutor had a chat() round-trip test)
   Fix: new tests/integration/llm-router-behavioral.test.ts asserts
   isLLMAnalysisAvailable()===true (the exact gate the audit named) for
   all 14 services + 2 full behavioral round-trips. 16 tests total.

6. HIGH — MCP and kernel built SEPARATE HybridRouter instances
   Different cost trackers, caches, circuit breakers per side.
   routing_economics/routing_metrics would only see half the traffic.
   Fix: kernel.ts._initializeLLMRouter calls setSharedLLMRouter(router)
   on init so both paths share one instance. kernel.dispose() calls
   resetSharedLLMRouter() so the next kernel doesn't inherit the
   previous instance.

7. HIGH — Silent error swallowing in _initializeLLMRouter
   console.warn'd then continued without LLM, with no signal for
   monitoring. A misconfigured provider would silently degrade with no
   alert.
   Fix: now publishes kernel.llm-router.init-failed (caught error) and
   kernel.llm-router.init-no-provider (enabled=true but nothing
   available) events on the event bus. Test confirms event delivery.

8. MEDIUM — Service count mismatch in docs (ADR/CHANGELOG said "14
   services / 12 domains"; test enumerates 15 services / 11
   LLM-enhanced domains)
   Fix: ADR-043 addendum + CHANGELOG corrected to 15/11. Added
   explicit service list and noted the 2 non-LLM domains
   (enterprise-integration, coordination).

9. MEDIUM — aqe llm config --set apiKey=... silently dropped the key
   stripApiKeys() returned a successfully-saved file without the key,
   user thought it was saved.
   Fix: CLI updateConfig() now throws a clear error pointing to env
   vars BEFORE calling save. stripApiKeys also now logs a console.warn
   when it strips anything, so programmatic callers see the strip.

10. LOW — Env vs disk precedence was counterintuitive and undocumented
    Force-enable-on-env overrides explicit `enabled: false` on disk.
    Fix: doc comment in config-store.applyEnvProviderDetection +
    ADR-043 "Precedence & env-var conventions" section explains.

Verification
- npx tsc --noEmit: clean
- 191 unit + integration tests pass (16 new behavioral tests for #5,
  17 wiring tests, gemini provider, config-store, llm-router-service,
  kernel-llm-router with 17 tests including all kill-switch cases,
  CLI persistence with 28 tests)
- 5 real-provider E2E tests pass (Gemini 2.5 Flash, OpenAI gpt-4o-mini,
  OpenRouter, plus 2 rule-based-mode tests that previously failed and
  now pass with the HybridRouter fallback fixes)

Dragan Spiridonov c206c81751 feat(llm-router): Phases 3 + 4 — MCP path, integration tests, real-provider E2E, ADRs
Phase 3 — MCP tool path
- 8 standalone MCP tools (coverage-analyze, coverage-gaps, contract-validate,
  chaos-inject, code-intel-analyze, defect-predict, learning-optimize) now
  resolve the kernel HybridRouter via getLLMRouter(context) and pass it to
  their service via the dependency-bag form.
- src/mcp/tools/base.ts: added getSharedLLMRouter() singleton, mirroring the
  existing getSharedMemoryBackend() pattern. resetSharedLLMRouter() for
  tests. Added MCPToolContext.llmRouter field so future tools (and the MCP
  runtime when wiring per-request kernel context) can inject explicitly
  rather than via the shared singleton.

Phase 4a — Mock-provider integration tests
- tests/integration/llm-router-wiring.test.ts (new, 17 tests).
  - Per-domain wiring assertions (15): for each LLM-enhanced
    plugin → coordinator → service path, asserts service.llmRouter ===
    kernel.llmRouter after kernel boot with an injected mock provider.
    This is the precise structural test for the gap the author's friend
    flagged — a regression in any domain's wiring fails immediately.
  - Behavioral end-to-end (1): TestExecutorService.analyzeFailuresWithLLM
    actually invokes the mock provider; assert generateCalls counter
    incremented and the response surfaced.
  - Sanity (1): kernel.llmRouter is defined when a router was built.

Phase 4b — Real-provider E2E smoke test
- tests/e2e/llm-router-real-providers.test.ts (new, 3 tests).
  - Gated by AQE_LLM_E2E=1; each provider auto-skips when its API key
    isn't in env.
  - Uses mode: 'manual' to bypass DEFAULT_QE_ROUTING_RULES (which would
    otherwise route generic tasks to Claude even when defaultProvider
    is set to something else — worth knowing).
  - Verified live on 2026-05-21 against:
      Gemini     (gemini-2.5-flash)        → "Hi!"
      OpenAI     (gpt-4o-mini)             → "Hi!"
      OpenRouter (openai/gpt-4o-mini)      → "Hi!"
    Claude intentionally skipped — the ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in the dev env
    is a 24-char stub (real Anthropic keys are ~108 chars), would 401.

Phase 4c — Documentation
- docs/implementation/adrs/ADR-043-vendor-independent-llm.md: added
  "Wiring Verified" status entry (2026-05-21) + full addendum documenting
  the problem found, the four-phase resolution, the verification tests,
  and the behavioral consequence for users.
- docs/implementation/adrs/ADR-051-agentic-flow-integration.md: added
  "LLM-Enhancement Wiring Verified" status entry pointing to ADR-043's
  addendum.
- CHANGELOG.md: added [Unreleased] section under Changed — behavioral,
  explicitly noting the behavior shift (fleets with provider keys in env
  will now start routing LLM calls through that provider), the opt-out
  path (KernelConfig.llmRouter: { enabled: false }), and the persistence
  fix for `aqe llm config --set`.

Test totals across all four phases on this branch
- 39 unit tests across 5 files (Phase 1)
- 17 integration tests in 1 file (Phase 4a)
- 3 real-provider E2E tests in 1 file (Phase 4b, AQE_LLM_E2E=1)
- 34 pre-existing kernel tests still pass (no regression)
- 22 pre-existing test-generation coordinator tests still pass (no regression)
- Clean tsc --noEmit across the full project

Dragan Spiridonov a9f7082f15 fix(embeddings): harden ADR-097 endpoint client against devil's-advocate audit
Closes 11 findings from a post-merge audit of the external embedder endpoint
implementation. The "no silent hash fallback" correctness promise was being
contradicted by two callers; the connect timeout was actually an idle timeout;
the identity probe could be bypassed in several paths; and identity drift
across runs was undetectable. All hardened.

Critical/High fixes:
- sqlite-persistence backfill no longer falls back to hash embeddings when the
  endpoint is configured; re-raises to protect the HNSW index from non-comparable
  vectors (was poisoning silently on every endpoint blip).
- qe-reasoning-bank.embed() propagates the throw under isUsingEndpoint() instead
  of silently substituting a hash vector.
- EmbedderEndpointClient.embed() now gates on probe() — lazy probe on first use
  with in-flight dedup so 20+ concurrent embeds share one probe.
- Circuit breaker recovery (window expires) clears cached identity so the next
  embed re-probes — endpoint restarts often coincide with model swaps.
- True TCP-connect timeout enforced at the socket layer (was req.setTimeout,
  which is an idle-after-write timeout — SYN blackholes hung ~75s instead of 5s).
- Endpoint identity persisted to memory.db kv_store (_system namespace) — cross-
  run fingerprint drift now surfaces as a loud warning on next boot.

Medium fixes:
- encoding_format: 'float' pinned in request; base64 responses fail loud.
- TLS knobs (ca, cert, key, rejectUnauthorized, servername) passthrough for
  self-hosted https endpoints without NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0.
- URL userinfo stripped + warned at parse; redacted from all error messages
  and logs.
- Embedding cache key namespaced by mode (endpoint:<fingerprint>:<text> vs
  inproc:<text>) — cross-mode collisions structurally impossible.

Tests:
- 33 unit tests pass (was 23): adds probe-gate, breaker re-probe, connect
  timeout, DNS failure, concurrent embed dedup, base64 fail-loud, URL
  redaction, encoding_format wire format.
- 6 live integration tests against real llama-server (all-MiniLM-L6-v2.Q8_0.gguf):
  probe, single embed, batch, lazy probe gate, dim mismatch, 50-input batch.
  Replaces the prior "9ms in-process fake" with honest numbers (cold 15ms,
  warm 2ms against localhost llama.cpp).
- New tests/integration/embedder-endpoint-llamacpp.test.ts is gated on
  AQE_LLAMA_EMBED_URL so it skips cleanly in CI without the binary.

ADR-097 updated with the per-caller audit table (12 writers verified
non-poisoning) and "drop-in for 6 providers" claim softened to "verified
against llama-server; OpenAI shape compat expected but unverified" per
provider.

Dragan Spiridonov b17309b3f8 feat(embeddings): optional external embedder endpoint (ADR-097, #503)
Add opt-in OpenAI-compatible /v1/embeddings client to eliminate duplicate
in-process model loads in ruflo/ruvector co-deployments and the per-hook
cold-load cost in fresh agentic-qe CLI processes.

When EmbeddingConfig.endpoint (or AQE_EMBEDDER_ENDPOINT) is set, the
@huggingface/transformers import is bypassed entirely and feature-extraction
routes through the remote service. Endpoint unset = today's behavior.

Wire format is OpenAI's /v1/embeddings so any existing embedder server (TEI,
vLLM, llama.cpp, Ollama, LocalAI, LM Studio, OpenAI) works as a drop-in,
not just bespoke ruvector servers. Transport is HTTP or HTTP-over-Unix-socket.

Errors hard-fail with a circuit breaker (3 failures / 60s window) — no
silent hash-embedding fallback, which would poison the HNSW index by mixing
non-comparable vectors. A startup probe asserts dim === 384 and computes a
stable identity fingerprint that catches model/quantization drift at the
boundary.

- src/learning/embedder-endpoint-client.ts: OpenAI client with keep-alive
  agent, 5s/30s timeouts, Bearer auth from env, circuit breaker, probe
- src/learning/real-embeddings.ts: endpoint branch placed strictly before
  the dynamic transformers import so the cold-load fix holds at runtime;
  new isUsingEndpoint() / getEndpointIdentity() observability helpers
- 23 new unit tests (real http.createServer fixtures, no http mocking)
- End-to-end smoke: 9ms for import + init + probe + embed, transformers
  never appears in the loaded-module list

Dragan Spiridonov d698c58721 fix(routing): collapse Q-state to 3-dim (drop complexityBucket) (#499)
ADR-096 fix #3 (Option A): the previous 4-dim state_key
  taskType|priority|domain|complexityBucket
fragmented semantically identical tasks across cells. complexityBucket
was derived from raw description length (round(min(len/200,1)*10)) —
so a 55-char and 130-char phrasing of the same task landed in
different Q-rows, and QWEIGHT_RAMP_VISITS=20 was rarely reachable
per cell even after the fix #1/#2 loop closure.

State key is now 3-dim:
  taskType|priority|domain

Same change applied at both ends of the loop:
- buildRoutingStateKey (agent-routing.ts) — parameter and key shape
- updateHookRouterQValue (hooks-dream-learning.ts) — state_key SQL
- qe-reasoning-bank.ts reader-side call
- task-hooks.ts post-task writer call
- routing-hooks.ts post-route writer call (new in fix #1)

`deriveComplexityBucket` stays exported (marked @deprecated for
state_key use) — the pre-task bridge payload still carries
`complexityBucket` for kv_store schema compatibility and any
downstream telemetry. `TaskBridgePayload` interface unchanged.

Migration: existing rl_q_values rows written under the previous
4-dim key are orphaned. Field reports show real installs have at
most ~2 such rows (the loop was broken; no real Q-data accumulated),
so we accept the orphans rather than ship a migration. If a future
install carries substantial 4-dim data, a one-shot script that
strips the trailing |N segment is straightforward.

Test contract extended:
- agent-routing-exploration.test.ts pins the 3-segment key shape
- route-q-loop-closure.test.ts asserts complexityBucket does NOT
  leak into updateHookRouterQValue payloads (writer-side check) and
  that bridge.complexityBucket is ignored even when present.

ADR-096 updated: complexity-bucket promoted from Open Questions to
Decision (Option A). Open Questions now lists "re-introducing a
coarse complexity tier if telemetry shows the 3-dim key conflating
decisions that benefit from differentiation" as a wait-and-measure
follow-up rather than a planned change.

Dragan Spiridonov d41bbc22b0 fix(routing): close Q-loop on routing surface (#499)
The route hook (UserPromptSubmit) reads `rl_q_values` to produce qWeight,
but the only writer was task-hooks `post-task` gated on `outcome.bridge`.
On real projects, `routing_outcomes` reached 139 rows while `rl_q_values`
stayed at 2 — the route surface that displays qWeight had nothing to read,
so `qWeight: 0` was structurally pinned.

Two complementary producer additions, ADR-096:

Fix #1 — post-route trains rl_q_values
  When the Stop hook resolves a routing_outcomes sentinel, derive a
  state_key from the sentinel's `task_json.description` using the
  same exported helpers the route hook used (`deriveTaskType`,
  `deriveComplexityBucket`, `detectQEDomains`) and call
  `updateHookRouterQValue`. Writer and reader address byte-identical
  rows. Best-effort + try/catch: Stop hooks must never crash the host.

Fix #2 — post-task fires even when bridge is absent
  Drop the `if (outcome.bridge)` gate. When bridge is missing,
  derive state from `options.description` instead. Adds a new
  `--description` option to `aqe hooks post-task` so the PostToolUse
  hook command can pass `tool_input.description` for Task tools.
  Skip the update only when neither bridge nor description is
  available (would pollute an "unknown" sentinel state).

Tests: tests/unit/cli/commands/route-q-loop-closure.test.ts pins
the producer/consumer state_key alignment contract — if a future
refactor desynchronizes the three call sites
(routing-hooks.ts post-route, task-hooks.ts post-task,
qe-reasoning-bank.ts:530), assertions fail the build.

Closes the Open Question flagged in ADR-095. The deriveComplexityBucket
fragmentation Jordi noted is acknowledged in ADR-096's Open Questions
and tracked for a follow-up — orthogonal to closing the loop.

Dragan Spiridonov 70154c1b72 feat(routing): three-signal routing — static + Q-value blend + mincut-gated ε-greedy (ADR-095, #488 Phase 4)
Closes the self-learning loop: the Q-value Bellman updates that #487
populates now have a routing-side reader; structurally-aware exploration
(via the mincut infrastructure from ADR-047 / ADR-068) gathers Q-table
signal beyond the deterministic greedy winner; the catalog diversifies
without sacrificing safety on bottleneck decisions.

Three signals blended at the agent-routing decision point:

1. Static score (existing): domain match + capability match + performance
   prior + language boost + pattern similarity. Computed by
   `calculateAgentScores` in src/learning/agent-routing.ts.

2. Q-value blend (NEW — reads from rl_q_values):
   effectiveScore = staticScore * (1 - qWeight) + sigmoid(qValue) * qWeight
   qWeight ramps from 0 (no Q-data) to MAX_Q_WEIGHT=0.4 over
   QWEIGHT_RAMP_VISITS=20 visits per (state_key, action_key). Cold-start
   behavior is identical to pre-ADR-095 static-only routing; the learned
   signal contributes meaningfully only after the Q-table has matured for
   that state.

3. Mincut-gated ε-greedy exploration (NEW):
   baseEpsilon = AQE_ROUTER_EXPLORATION_RATE env or 0.05 default
   safetyMultiplier = getSharedMinCutMonitor().isCritical() ? 0.2 : 1.0
   epsilon = baseEpsilon * safetyMultiplier
   With probability ε, swap the greedy winner with a uniformly-random
   pick from the top-3 alternatives. Uses crypto.randomInt (NOT
   Math.random) to match the codebase convention (randomUUID is the
   established crypto entry-point in the same modules).

Maintainer decisions captured in ADR-095 v2:
  1. Default ON (Option A): mincut-modulated exploration ships enabled.
     AQE_ROUTER_EXPLORATION_RATE=0 is the documented escape hatch.
  2. Telemetry surface: extended `aqe learning loop-health` with a new
     "Routing diversification" section showing 7-day exploit/explore
     counts, avg quality_score per bucket, avg criticality, avg q_weight.
  3. crypto.randomInt over Math.random — codebase convention preserved.
  4. Q-value ramp constants are best-guess (MAX_Q_WEIGHT=0.4,
     QWEIGHT_RAMP_VISITS=20); tune post-deploy from telemetry.

Source-level findings worth noting:

- `rl_q_values` was populated by `updateHookRouterQValue` since #487 but
  NEVER read during routing. Verified via grep across src/learning/,
  src/routing/, src/cli/commands/hooks-handlers/. This commit adds the
  reader; closes that loop.
- Mincut graph is populated by Queen coordinator swarm activity, NOT
  per-task. So the "criticality" signal is graph-level safety (the
  `isCritical()` boolean from MinCutHealthMonitor) rather than per-task
  structural weight. Honest framing reflected in the ADR.

What landed:

src/kernel/unified-memory-schemas.ts
  - routing_outcomes gains exploration (INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0),
    criticality (REAL), q_weight (REAL) columns + an exploration index
    for the loop-health bucket queries

src/routing/routing-outcomes-migration.ts (NEW)
  - ensureRoutingOutcomesAdr095Columns(db) — idempotent ALTER TABLE for
    pre-existing databases. Process-local flag avoids repeat work.

src/routing/routing-feedback.ts
  - hooks the migration helper into the existing schema-migration block

src/learning/agent-routing.ts
  - new helpers: blendStaticAndQValue, resolveExplorationRate,
    applyExplorationPolicy (uses crypto.randomInt), sigmoid normalization
  - new helpers: deriveTaskType, buildRoutingStateKey,
    deriveComplexityBucket — moved from task-hooks.ts so the routing path
    and the post-task Q-update path share the same state_key derivation
  - calculateAgentScores accepts optional qValueLookup; backward-compat
    when undefined (identical pre-ADR-095 behavior)
  - ScoredAgent gains optional telemetry fields: staticScore, qWeight,
    qValue, qVisits, exploration

src/learning/qe-reasoning-bank-types.ts
  - QERoutingResult gains optional exploration / criticality / qWeight

src/learning/qe-reasoning-bank.ts
  - routeTask builds the Q-value lookup from rl_q_values keyed by
    stateKey = deriveTaskType(task) | normal | domain | complexityBucket
  - applies exploration policy after sort; reports avgQWeight + the
    mincut safetyMultiplier in the QERoutingResult
  - new private buildQValueLookup helper with table-exists guard so the
    method is a graceful no-op when the schema isn't applied yet (tests,
    fresh-init scenarios)

src/cli/commands/hooks-handlers/task-hooks.ts
  - private deriveTaskType removed (DRY: now imported from agent-routing)
  - pre-task sentinel INSERT writes the three new columns
  - migration helper invoked before write

src/cli/commands/hooks-handlers/routing-hooks.ts
  - JSON output passes exploration / criticality / qWeight through
  - INSERT writes the three new columns; migration helper invoked

src/cli/commands/learning.ts
  - `aqe learning loop-health` queries routing_outcomes for 7-day rolling
    exploration stats and avg quality_score per bucket. Skipped silently
    when the columns don't exist (pre-ADR-095 databases).

Tests:
  - tests/unit/learning/agent-routing-exploration.test.ts: 35 tests
    cover sigmoid blend math, qWeight ramp, env override priority,
    mincut safety multiplier, exploration rate statistical tolerance,
    only-top-3 alternative constraint, deriveTaskType regex coverage,
    stateKey format, complexityBucket scaling, end-to-end Q-blend
  - tests/unit/routing/routing-outcomes-migration.test.ts: 5 tests
    cover fresh-DB migration, idempotent re-run, missing-table
    tolerance, exploration index creation, column type/default checks

634/634 tests pass across CLI commands, workers, bridge, learning,
init/phases, architecture, kernel, and routing suites; build clean.

Dragan Spiridonov 6236a2cdc7 feat(kernel): kernel-side dream cycles + hooks-as-producers boundary (ADR-094, #488 Phase 2)
Moves dream cycles out of hook subprocesses into the long-lived kernel
process via the DreamScheduler that already existed but was never wired.
Single cutover, no feature flag — per maintainer decision on ADR-094.

Why this matters
================

Before this commit, every ~20 Edit/Write tool uses triggered a dream cycle
inside a short-lived `npx aqe hooks post-edit` subprocess. The cycle held
a SQLite write transaction for up to 10 seconds while the kernel-owning
MCP server, other hook subprocesses, and user MCP tool calls queued
behind it. stderr from the cycle was consumed by Claude Code's hook
reader and lost from operator visibility. Cold DreamEngine init paid
every ~20 edits.

Now the kernel's `QEKernelImpl.initialize()` boots a `DreamScheduler`
that runs cycles on its own cadence inside the long-lived process. Hook
subprocesses keep only `incrementDreamExperience` (a counter bump that
returns in ~50ms). Operators see `aqe learning loop-health` report the
`dreamScheduler` component as live within one tick.

What landed
===========

src/kernel/kernel.ts
  - new private `_dreamScheduler?: DreamScheduler`
  - new config flag `enableDreamScheduler` (default `true`, mirrors
    `enableExperienceBridge`)
  - initialize() constructs DreamEngine + DreamScheduler after the
    bridge starts, wraps in try/catch (best-effort), failure logs a
    warning and continues (kernel boot never blocks on this)
  - dispose() stops the scheduler BEFORE bus/memory cleanup so a dream
    in-progress doesn't write to a disposed backend

src/learning/dream/dream-scheduler.ts
  - executeDream() now records loop-health on every tick (success or
    failure) via the helper from #488 Phase 1 B.2. Operators see
    `learning:loop-health.components.dreamScheduler.successesSinceBoot`
    grow on each cycle.

src/cli/commands/hooks-handlers/editing-hooks.ts
src/cli/commands/hooks-handlers/task-hooks.ts
  - dropped `checkAndTriggerDream` import + call
  - kept `incrementDreamExperience` (the counter is the producer-side
    signal the kernel scheduler reads)
  - JSON output now emits `dreamTriggered: false, dreamReason:
    'deferred-to-kernel'` so operator scripts grepping the field see
    *where* the cycle actually runs

src/cli/commands/hooks-handlers/hooks-shared.ts
  - removed the `checkAndTriggerDream` re-export. The function itself
    is still defined in hooks-dream-learning.ts and exported there for
    direct test access and the documented rollback path.

tests/unit/architecture/hooks-boundary.test.ts (NEW)
  - greps `src/cli/commands/hooks-handlers/` for forbidden patterns:
    imports from `src/learning/dream/` and references to
    `checkAndTriggerDream`. Skips comment lines so explanatory mentions
    don't false-positive. `hooks-dream-learning.ts` is in `allowedFiles`
    since it DEFINES the function.
  - This is the enforcement mechanism for the boundary contract. A
    contributor accidentally re-adding heavy hook-side work gets a
    clear CI failure pointing them at ADR-094.

tests/unit/kernel/dream-scheduler-wiring.test.ts (NEW)
  - asserts `enableDreamScheduler` default, opt-out path, init+dispose
    cleanliness with and without the scheduler, idempotent dispose

tests/unit/cli/commands/post-edit-dream-trigger.test.ts (REWRITTEN)
  - was asserting checkAndTriggerDream was called from post-edit (the
    #480 fix). That contract is now wrong — the kernel is the only
    place that triggers dreams.
  - now asserts: counter is bumped (the kernel reads it), no inline
    cycle trigger, JSON emits `deferred-to-kernel`, hook stays robust
    when the memory backend throws.

docs/implementation/adrs/ADR-094-kernel-side-dream-cycles.md
  - status: Implemented
  - migration section replaced with the single-cutover rationale and
    a documented 4-line rollback path

583/583 tests pass across CLI, workers, bridge, learning, init/phases,
architecture, and kernel suites. Build clean.

Boundary contract (now enforced in CI)
======================================

Hook subprocesses MUST NOT do work that exceeds ~100ms. Acceptable
hook-side work: producer SQLite writes, counter increments, in-memory
routing lookups. Unacceptable: DreamEngine init, multi-second SQLite
transactions, anything that depends on long-lived state.

Dragan Spiridonov 5d187de2a1 fix(install,rvf,hypergraph): unblock Windows install, fix RVF FsyncFailed, synthesize covers edges
Bundles fixes for issue #439 (Windows install) and Jordi RUFLO patches
P020 (RVF init) + P220 (hypergraph blindness).

Windows install (#439):
- Move hnswlib-node from dependencies to optionalDependencies so
  installs no longer fail on Windows boxes without VS C++ Build Tools;
  HnswAdapter already routes around a missing native binary at runtime.
- Replace HNSWIndex.ts top-level static `import hnswlib from
  'hnswlib-node'` with a lazy require so package load survives the
  optional dep being absent.
- README + preinstall.cjs: document toolchain requirement and disclose
  that the JS fallback degrades to O(N) brute-force when @ruvector/gnn
  is also unavailable (Windows default — no win32 prebuilds ship).
- ADR-090 amendment reconciling the move with ADR-081's optional-dep +
  JS-fallback intent.

RVF init (Jordi P020):
- Root cause: shared-rvf-adapter and pattern-store factory always called
  RvfDatabase.create(), which throws `0x0303 FsyncFailed` when the .rvf
  file already exists from a prior init phase. Reproduced and confirmed
  against both 0.1.7 and 0.1.8 native binaries — not a version
  regression.
- Fix: race-tolerant open-or-create ladder (try open → fall back to
  create → retry open on create-race) with dim() verification after
  open. Mismatched-dim files are closed and the caller degrades rather
  than corrupting silently.

Hypergraph (Jordi P220):
- Drop the original flushEdgesToHypergraph (wrote `call`/`extends`
  edges that no production query reads — devil's-advocate review caught
  it as dead infrastructure).
- Add HypergraphEngine.synthesizeTestCoverage that re-tags test files
  type='test' and writes `covers` edges from each test file to
  functions in the source files it imports. This is the shape
  findUntestedFunctions / findImpactedTests actually filter on.
- E2E verified: untested correctly excludes covered functions;
  impacted-tests returns the right test file.

Verification:
- `npm run build` clean
- 276/276 tests pass across HNSW, RVF, KG, coordinator, hypergraph
  suites (5 new synthesizeTestCoverage tests; replaced 4 obsolete
  flush tests)
- E2E on fresh project: aqe init clean, hooks stats shows
  nativeAvailable: true, code index logs `Test coverage synthesized`,
  hg untested + hg impacted return useful results

Dragan Spiridonov cda9fb3c05 fixup(adr-091): address devil's-advocate review
Single commit covering the 5 concrete findings from the qe-devils-advocate
review. Does not change the underlying CommandEvalRunner design or the 5
primitives — only the claims around them and the fixture-server hack the
yaml had silently inherited.

1. Revert promotion (G4): trust_tier 3 -> 2 in SKILL.md; ADR-091 status
   Implemented -> In Progress (2026-04-21); v3-adrs.md index row updated
   to reflect the same; counts 80->79 Implemented, 6->7 In Progress.
   The promotion gate is now documented on ADR-091: first green CI run
   of test-qe-browser.yml (unit + smoke + eval against real Vibium)
   before trust_tier 3 / Implemented are restored.

2. Fix yaml fixtures (G3): tc006/tc007 were referencing
   http://localhost:8088/qe-browser/SKILL.md.html which required an
   unstarted fixture server, so `aqe eval run --skill qe-browser` would
   have failed on a fresh machine. Rewrote both to use https://httpbin.org/html
   (matching scripts/smoke-test.sh tc006/tc007). Dropped tc009
   (poisoned-page check-injection) from the yaml — it needs the local
   serve-skills.js fixture which is out of scope for CommandEvalRunner.
   Documented as an explicit GAP comment in the yaml, noted that
   check-injection.js's severity path is unit-tested at
   tests/unit/scripts/qe-browser-check-injection.test.ts. yaml test_cases
   now 11 -> 10.

3. Correct pin comment wording (G1): the previous comment claimed
   ^26.3.18 was a "major.minor-line pin" — that's factually wrong under
   npm semver (^26.3.18 accepts 26.99.x). Rewritten to accurately
   describe the intent: major-line pin that blocks 27.0+ while
   allowing auto-uptake of 26.x security patches and additive features,
   with scripts/smoke-test.sh as the belt-and-suspenders API contract
   gate. The spec itself stays ^26.3.18 — the correct choice for an
   end-user tool under semver assumptions.

4. Add eval CI job (G2): third job in test-qe-browser.yml runs
   `aqe eval run --skill qe-browser --model claude-3.5-sonnet` against
   a real Vibium install after `npm run build`. This is the
   end-to-end proof that CommandEvalRunner dispatch works that the
   previous unit tests (all mocked CommandRunner) could not provide.
   Uploads the eval JSON as a CI artifact for post-run inspection.
   actionlint clean.

5. Scrub stray files (G5): git rm the coherence-comparison artifacts
   from docs/reports/ that were swept in by a prior `git add -A`, and
   added a focused pattern to .gitignore (not a blanket docs/reports/
   ignore) so future sessions can't repeat the mistake while intentional
   reports can still be committed.

Tests: 51 relevant tests still pass (3 files: command-eval-runner,
command-eval-runner-qe-browser, browser-engine-installer).

Dragan Spiridonov 23416e1577 feat(adr-091): promote to Implemented — trust_tier 3, platform hint, yaml/smoke unify
Closes GAP-05, GAP-08, and final verification gate.

- Linux ARM64 diagnostic (GAP-05): browser-engine-installer now probes
  os.platform + os.arch on Linux aarch64 and checks a prioritized list
  of system chromium locations (/usr/bin/chromium, chromium-browser,
  google-chrome, google-chrome-stable, /snap/bin/chromium). When a
  browser is found, the install result carries a PlatformHint with an
  exact VIBIUM_BROWSER_PATH export the user can copy. When none exists,
  the hint surfaces the `apt-get install chromium` remediation. Wired
  into phase 09 so it prints after vibium install succeeds. 5 new tests.
- GAP-08: added explicit `vibium --headless viewport 1280 720` setup
  steps to yaml tc006/tc007 so the eval runs are as deterministic in CI
  as smoke-test.sh. Updated smoke-test.sh header to note the yaml is
  the canonical spec and the bash script is its mirror (covers the F1
  vibium-missing contract case the yaml can't express cleanly).
- Trust tier promoted 2 -> 3 now that (a) the eval is runnable via
  CommandEvalRunner, (b) CI runs both unit tests + smoke gate, and
  (c) all 11 dependent browser-using skills either reference qe-browser
  or document their intentional Playwright fallback.
- ADR-091 status: Proposed -> Implemented (2026-04-21).
- v3-adrs.md index reflects 80 Implemented / 6 In Progress / 3 Proposed.

Verification: 643/643 tests pass across tests/unit/validation/,
tests/unit/init/, tests/unit/scripts/qe-browser-*.

Dragan Spiridonov 9c52823e0e fix(qe-browser): F1 — implement documented vibium-unavailable contract
Phase 5 UAT discovered the helper scripts surfaced missing-vibium as
`actual: "eval error: vibium binary not found..."` inside a `failed`
envelope. The Fallback Policy in SKILL.md said scripts MUST return
status:"skipped" with reason "browser-engine-unavailable" — that
contract was aspirational. F1 makes it real.

Contract changes:
- lib/vibium.js: ENOENT now throws typed VibiumUnavailableError (with
  stable code:"BROWSER_ENGINE_UNAVAILABLE" for cross-module duck typing)
- New helper unavailableEnvelope() returns canonical skipped envelope
  with top-level vibiumUnavailable:true and output.reason field
- New runOrSkip() wraps each helper's main() and converts the typed
  error into the documented envelope on the way out
- New rethrowIfUnavailable() helper used inside per-script catch blocks
  so missing-vibium bubbles past local "convert exception to fail()"
  handlers — assert.runConsoleCheck/runNetworkCheck/runBrowserSideCheck,
  batch's per-step catch, check-injection main, intent-score main,
  visual-diff main all updated
- emit() now returns exit code 2 for status:"skipped" (was 1)
- Exit code contract documented: 0=success, 1=failed, 2=skipped

Downstream skills can now branch on result.vibiumUnavailable === true
or exit code === 2 instead of grepping the actual string for
"vibium binary not found".

Tests: 103 (was 86). New file qe-browser-unavailable-e2e.test.ts spawns
each of the 5 helpers under PATH=/tmp/fake-bin (node only, no vibium)
and asserts exit 2 + skipped envelope shape. vibium-lib test grew from
10 to 22 cases including VibiumUnavailableError, runOrSkip, exit codes.

Smoke test: 10/10 PASS (was 9/9). New tc011 builds a fake bin dir
inside the smoke test work dir and verifies the contract end-to-end
against the actual installed scripts.

SKILL.md updated:
- Output Contract section now documents all 3 statuses with shapes
  and exit codes
- Fallback Policy replaced generic prose with concrete bash + Node
  snippets that branch on the structured field

ADR-091 Phase 6 documents the change and verification.

Dragan Spiridonov e468038c4d docs(adr-091): Phase 5 — user-perspective verification of qe-browser
Ran fresh `aqe init --auto` against an empty test project at
/tmp/qe-browser-uat and exercised every helper script as a real user.
12 checks documented in ADR-091, all passing:

  1. qe-browser skill installed cleanly
  2. navigate + assert end-to-end against httpbin.org
  3. M5 --threshold=0.42 form parsed live (verified non-default value)
  4. M6 batch pre-validation aborts BEFORE side effects
  5. M7 intent-score returns scored candidates from real form
  6. M4+M8 check-injection --exclude-selector strips body (3595→35 chars)
  7. M2 fixture server binds 127.0.0.1 (verified via banner)
  8. M3 path traversal blocked (HTTP 404 on /etc/passwd.html)
  9. Vibium-missing fallback returns clear actionable error
 10. Installed smoke-test.sh: 9/9 PASS from inside test project
 11. Idempotent re-init: Browser engine line still printed
 12. JSON envelope contract validated on every emit

H6 pre-flight short-circuit confirmed in production:
  "Browser engine: vibium 26.3.18 (already installed)"
The "this can take 1-3 minutes" banner is suppressed when vibium is
already on PATH, matching the documented Phase 2 behavior.

New finding logged as F1 (NOT a Phase 4 regression):
  Helper scripts surface missing-vibium as `actual: "eval error: ..."`
  inside a `failed` envelope. The SKILL.md Fallback Policy says
  downstream skills should report status:"skipped" reason:
  "browser-engine-unavailable". A cleaner contract would be a
  top-level vibiumUnavailable:true flag. Not a blocker.

Dragan Spiridonov 3eb9ccc461 fix(qe-browser): Phase 4 — all 9 medium devil's-advocate findings
M1 visual-diff threshold: documented "max difference fraction" convention
matching Playwright maxDiffPixelRatio (was inconsistent in docs/code).

M2 fixture server bind: default to 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0;
QE_BROWSER_FIXTURE_HOST=0.0.0.0 opt-in for explicit external access.
Codespaces auto-forwards 0.0.0.0 ports — this was an unintentional open
server every time the eval ran.

M3 path-traversal guard: replaced startsWith() with path.relative() +
'..'/absolute check. The old guard false-passed sibling-prefix dirs
(/foo vs /foo2) and was fragile on Windows mixed separators.

M4 ANSI escape injection: added sanitizeSnippet() that strips C0 controls
(0x00-0x1F except \t\n) and DEL (0x7F) from every check-injection
finding snippet. Prevents `cat findings.json` from triggering terminal
control sequences embedded in malicious page content.

M5 parseArgs --key=value: split on first '=' so --threshold=0.05 works
alongside --threshold 0.05. Only the first '=' is split so URL/base64
values survive intact.

M6 batch.js pre-validation: added validateAllSteps() that walks every
step's required fields BEFORE the first vibium call. Step 17 typo now
aborts before steps 1-16 execute their side effects.

M7 intent-score bare-x regex: anchored \bx\b in close_dialog scorer so
"fix", "exit", "extra", "sixteen" no longer match. Unicode × and ✕
unchanged.

M8 check-injection --exclude-selector: new flag drops subtrees from
the scan. Page text is read from a CLONE of <body> with matching
elements removed — live page unchanged. Lets docs sites scan their
own pages without self-flagging documentation about prompt injection.

M9 09-assets vibium catch: wrapped raw error with actionable recovery
guidance (`npm install -g vibium`, then re-run `aqe init`).

Hidden bug found and fixed during M2/M3 testing: fixtures/serve-skills.js
existed but had never been run because the repo root is ESM and the file
uses CommonJS require(). Added scoped fixtures/package.json with
"type": "commonjs" matching the existing scripts/package.json pattern.

Tests: 86 unit tests across 7 files (was 50). All pass.
Smoke test: 9/9 still passing against real Vibium v26.3.18.
Mirrored .claude/skills/qe-browser → assets/skills/qe-browser.

Dragan Spiridonov 4e52d573f7 fix(qe-browser): Phase 3 — real Vibium smoke test verified 9/9 passing
User pushed back on Phase 3 attempt 1 ("blocked on linux-arm64"). After
re-verifying upstream — Vibium 26.3.18 IS the latest on npm, Chrome for
Testing across Stable/Beta/Dev/Canary still ships only linux64 (x86_64),
mac-arm64, mac-x64, win32, win64 — installed Debian's native ARM64
chromium + chromium-driver via apt and symlinked them into Vibium's
cache. Then ran the smoke test for real and found four real bugs in
the qe-browser helper scripts that would have shipped broken.

Bugs found and fixed:

1. Eval contract was wrong. lib/vibium.js's vibiumEvalStdin sent
   `console.log(...)` expecting Vibium to capture it. Vibium doesn't —
   `eval` returns the LAST EXPRESSION's value as
   `{"ok":true,"result":"<stringified>"}`. Fix: dropped console.log
   wrappers from assert.js/intent-score.js/check-injection.js; added
   unwrapEvalResult() in lib/vibium.js that parses the envelope and
   JSON-decodes the result string back into our object.

2. lib/vibium.js did not inject --headless. Vibium defaults to visible
   browser, which fails in headless containers with "Missing X server
   or $DISPLAY". Fix: lib/vibium.js prepends --headless unless
   QE_BROWSER_HEADED=1 is set in the env.

3. `vibium screenshot -o /abs/path/foo.png` ignores the directory and
   saves to `~/Pictures/Vibium/foo.png`. Verified live. Fix:
   visual-diff.js passes just the basename, reads from Vibium's actual
   output dir, copies to the requested path, unlinks the source.

4. `vibium screenshot --selector` flag does NOT exist in v26.3.x.
   Verified via `vibium screenshot --help`. Fix: visual-diff.js throws
   a clear error with remediation guidance if a caller passes
   --selector. (B3's "fall back to eval-clip" comment is now removed.)

Plus a real environment-flakiness fix: smoke-test.sh sets
`vibium viewport 1280 720` before tc006/tc007 visual-diff captures
because httpbin.org/html renders at non-deterministic dimensions
(765x672 vs 780x654 observed) when no viewport is set, causing
spurious pixel-diff failures.

Verbatim smoke test result on this codespace:

  Smoke testing against vibium v26.3.18
  PASS  tc001 url_contains on httpbin form
  PASS  tc002 selector_visible h1 on httpbin /html
  PASS  tc003 failing assertion exits 1
  PASS  tc004 batch 3-step happy path
  PASS  tc005 batch stops on first failure
  PASS  tc006 visual-diff baseline created
  PASS  tc007 visual-diff second run matches
  PASS  tc008 check-injection clean page
  PASS  tc010 intent-score submit_form on httpbin form
  PASS: 9  FAIL: 0  SKIPPED: 0

Unit tests still pass: 50/50 (one test had to be updated — it asserted
`buildScript` includes 'console.log', which is now correctly NOT in the
script after the eval-contract fix).

Phase 3 verification COMPLETE per ADR-091. The qe-browser helpers work
end-to-end against real Vibium + real Chromium + pinned httpbin.org
fixtures. The Linux ARM64 chromium-symlink workaround is documented in
ADR-091; user-facing docs in references/migration-from-playwright.md
still need updating (marked as Phase 4 follow-up).

Dragan Spiridonov 07f20e13cf docs(adr-091): Phase 3 attempt 1 — blocked on Linux ARM64 chromedriver
Ran the smoke test in this codespace (linux-arm64). Vibium installed
cleanly (v26.3.18) and the H1 detectVibium fix verified against real
binary output. tc003 and tc005 passed (failure-path tests that don't
need a browser). The other 7 tests failed because Google does not
publish chrome-for-testing for linux-arm64; Vibium downloaded the
linux64 (x86_64) variant which dies under Rosetta with an elf-loader
error.

Workarounds attempted and rejected:
  - apt install chromium → native ARM64 binary works but Vibium
    hardcodes its own cached chromedriver, no --browser-path flag
  - searched the binary for VIBIUM_CHROME_PATH / --browser-path /
    BROWSER env var support → none in v26.3.18
  - System chromium responds at /json/version with CDP, not BiDi;
    would need a BiDi-speaking chromedriver to use --connect

Conclusion: Phase 3 verification cannot complete on linux-arm64. This
is a Vibium upstream platform gap, NOT a qe-browser bug. The qe-browser
script-level integration with the real vibium binary IS partially
verified by the 2 passing tests.

Added "Vibium does not support Linux ARM64 today" to the Negative
Consequences section. PR reopen still gated on running smoke-test.sh
on linux-x64 or mac-arm64.
