Hi @northdpole — Week 8 of Module C, and the last of the plan. Weeks 1–6b built the decision pipeline against fixtures; this connects it to Module B's live knowledge_queue, closes the two W8 notes left open on #991, and ships the docs, metrics and CI gate that close out the module.

Off main (#990 and #991 both merged). No migration, no db.py change: Module C owns no schema. Modules A and D are not touched.

Originally raised as a stack (#1011 code + #1012 docs). Folded into this one PR — one week's work, one review. #1012 is closed; this is a strict superset of it.

Overview

Module B writes rows to knowledge_queue; nothing read them. C had a pipeline that ran end to end on a JSONL fixture and a queue mirror that no longer matched the table B actually merged.

The problem. B's live table (#989) is substantially richer than the flat mirror C was built against. C modelled source_repo / source_path / source_commit_sha and nothing else, so against the merged table it failed validation on 100% of real rows, had no chunk_id or artifact_id to carry, and could not represent an rss row at all.

This PR's role. Reconcile the mirror against B's table, then add the two DB-facing ends the pipeline was missing — a live source on one side, the consumed_at write-back on the other — plus the safety seam and the component factory the orchestrator (#996) needs. The pipeline itself stays persistence-free and hermetic.

What changed

Area Files Description
B→C reconciliation schemas.py, section_validator.py, knowledge_source.py KnowledgeQueueItem mirrors B's table column for column — all 23, nothing dropped, nothing invented. Both provenance branches map: github (source_repo / source_commit_sha, locator repo_path) and rss (feed_url / post_guid, locator feed_item). chunk_id / artifact_id originate in Module A and are now used verbatim instead of synthesised. DbKnowledgeSource reads B's own SQLAlchemy model rather than redeclaring the table.
Envelope sink envelope_sink.py (new) JsonlEnvelopeSink (append-only, fsynced, persists=True) and NullEnvelopeSink (persists=False). W8b's graph writer becomes another implementation of the same protocol.
Write-back queue_consumer.py (new) Stamps consumed_at. The only column C writes; never deletes. Idempotent — filtered on consumed_at IS NULL, so a replay cannot move a set timestamp. Ids chunked before the IN (...).
Safety seam safety_guard.py (new), pipeline.py Wires the adversarial / update_ambiguous flags decide() has accepted since W6. Ships as NullSafetyGuard, which evaluates nothing and says so (evaluated=False, counted and reported).
Orchestrator seam factory.py (new), config_loader.py Builds live C.1/C.2/C.3 from config + the OpenCRE DB. Construction only. load_config warns when CRE_LIBRARIAN_TEMPERATURE is still the 1.0 identity default.
Live entry point queue_runner.py (new), cre.py, cre_main.py (session, pipeline_run_id, …, dry_run) -> RunSummary with to_json() — deliberately the same shape as B's run_noise_filter.
Harness evaluate_librarian.py Synthetic golden row mints the v0.2 shape; a boundary that rejects everything now fails the run.
Docs README.md, docs/gsoc_2026_module_c/{runbook,final_metrics,final_report}.md Package overview, operational runbook, measured metrics, GSoC final report. .gitignore needs negations because *.md is blanket-ignored — same pattern as module_B_mideval_blog.md.
CI .github/workflows/librarian_regression.yml Hermetic gate: librarian suite + golden-set decision gate, path-filtered to Module C.
Tests 6 new files 228 librarian tests pass (was 220).

The two rules this establishes

1. A row is only retired if its envelope survived. Marking a row consumed tells B never to offer that chunk again; doing that while the envelope goes nowhere destroys the chunk. The runner refuses to stamp anything unless a sink reporting persists=True accepted the batch. Dry runs use NullEnvelopeSink, so a dry run can never consume.

2. Errors and refusals are different. A row refused at the C.0 boundary is consumed — a definitive refusal, and re-reading a malformed row forever helps nobody. A row that errored mid-pipeline (embedding timeout, cross-encoder hiccup) is left unconsumed so the next run retries it. RunStats.errored stays separate from skipped.

UNCERTAIN rows are never touched — they are Module D's, per the B→C contract (consumed_at IS NULL AND llm_label = 'KNOWLEDGE').

Bugs found while measuring this branch

The eval harness was reporting success while grading nothing. Same #989 drift, harness side: queue_row_from_golden kept minting the old flat row, so all 319 golden rows were rejected at C.0 — and the run still exited 0, because with nothing validated explicit_total stayed 0 and the if explicit_total: gate skipped itself. That is the skipped-gate-reports-success failure the C.3 gate was fixed for on #974. A boundary that rejects the whole dataset now fails with a message naming the likely cause.

Envelopes failed the RFC schema Module D reads. The RFC types its optional fields as plain "string" and leaves them out of required, so an absent value must be an absent key. Pydantic's default dump wrote "repo": null — 81 validation errors on a real ReviewItem. Fixed with exclude_none=True. No data is lost: those are exactly the columns B itself stores NULL per row type (github only; NULL for rss in its contract). The existing tests could not have caught it — "one JSON object per line" passes on a file whose every record is invalid.

consumed_at was written timezone-aware into a naive column (CodeRabbit). SQLite keeps the offset, Postgres drops it, and the contract says the UTC wall clock is stored naive. Now normalised. Invisible locally because only SQLite was exercised.

RunSummary.status was the constant "ok" (CodeRabbit). The orchestrator branches on it, so a run that errored rows or skipped the safety path still reported success. Now derived from the counts. Note this means every real run today reports degraded: N decided without the safety path — accurate, because NullSafetyGuard is what ships and W8b's writer must refuse on exactly that signal.

Results

228 librarian tests pass; hermetic — no DB, key, or model
harness (C.0 + C.0.5):    319/319 validate; explicit slice 5/5 — gate 100%: PASS
envelope RFC validation:  81 errors -> 0

Live B→C, end to end with a real LLM classifier, real embeddings and the real cross-encoder — an A-shaped ChangeRecord seeded into harvest_input, then B, then C:

B: {"read":1,"parse_errors":0,"kept_knowledge":1,"inserted":1,"status":"ok"}
C: {"read":1,"linked":1,"review":0,"skipped":0,"errored":0,
    "persisted":1,"consumed":1,"safety_unevaluated":1}
queue row consumed_at = 2026-08-11 11:59:38

The emitted LinkProposal carries A's ids untouched:

{"status":"linked",
 "chunk_id":"chk:art:OWASP/ASVS:4.0/en/0x11-V2-Authentication.md:0",
 "artifact_id":"art:OWASP/ASVS:4.0/en/0x11-V2-Authentication.md",
 "links":[{"cre_id":"e9a28f1b-…","link_type":"Automatically linked to","confidence":0.9867}]}

Golden-set metrics (full detail in final_metrics.md)

Stage Result Target
C.0 boundary validation 319/319 (100%)
C.0.5 explicit resolver 5/5 (100%) 100%
C.1 recall@20 285/292 (98%)
C.2 rerank top-1 220/292 (75%) ≥ 90%
C.3 calibration ECE 0.046 (T=1.105) < 0.10
C.4 review recall 5/5 (100%)
C.4 auto-link recall 176/314 (56%)

Review recall is 5/5 — every chunk that should reach a human does, and the engine never wrongly auto-links something that needed review. Auto-link recall of 56% is the price at τ=0.80, and it is the safe direction.

The top-1 target was missed and the report says why. Thirteen reranker levers were tried in W8 and all thirteen regressed; C.2 as shipped scores net −7 against plain cosine. The cause is not the model — 427 of 428 CREs have empty description fields, and a cross-encoder cannot cross-attend to a bare title. C.1 still reaches 98% recall over that corpus, which localises it precisely. The path to 90% runs through populating CRE descriptions, upstream of Module C. W9's selective reranking (250/319) is documented as measured but unshipped: it needs held-out validation, and shipping on in-sample numbers would be the greenwashing this module spent four fixes removing.

What is intentionally not here

  • Graph / review-queue writers (W8b). C emits envelopes to JSONL; no link is committed. The rule is stated in safety_guard.py: a writer that commits links must refuse to run behind a guard reporting evaluated=False. Retiring a queue row without the safety path is recoverable — the envelope is on disk. Committing a wrong link into a graph other tools read as truth is not.
  • The SafetyGuard detector (OOD scoring, conformal prediction, update detection).
  • Selective reranking (W9) — measured, promising, unvalidated.

Known limits

  • Verified through the ORM on SQLite, not against a real Postgres.
  • CRE_LIBRARIAN_TEMPERATURE defaults to 1.0; the fitted value is 1.105 and the factory warns until it is set.
  • UNCERTAIN rows accumulate unconsumed by design — Module D's, and Module D has no implementation yet.
  • Module A does not yet write harvest_input, so the end-to-end run above seeds the ChangeRecord A is specified to produce. A→B is the last unconnected seam.

How to verify locally

# hermetic — no key, DB, or model
python -m unittest discover -s application/tests/librarian -p '*_test.py' -t .
python scripts/evaluate_librarian.py \
    --dataset application/tests/librarian/fixtures/golden_dataset.json

# dry run over the bundled fixture
python cre.py --run_librarian --librarian_dry_run \
    --librarian_source application/tests/librarian/fixtures/sample_knowledge_queue.jsonl

# live drain (needs B's rows for that run id)
python cre.py --run_librarian --run_id <pipeline_run_id> \
    --librarian_envelopes_out envelopes.jsonl

…dule B's merged table

Module B's `knowledge_queue` (OWASP#989) is substantially richer than the flat mirror
C was built against. C modelled `source_repo` / `source_path` /
`source_commit_sha` and nothing else, so against the merged table it failed
validation on 100% of real rows, had no `chunk_id` or `artifact_id` to carry, and
could not represent an rss row at all.

`schemas.KnowledgeQueueItem` now mirrors B's table column for column — all 23,
nothing dropped and nothing invented — and `section_from_queue_row` maps both
provenance branches:

  github : source_repo / source_commit_sha / source_committed_at, locator repo_path
  rss    : feed_url / post_guid,                                 locator feed_item

The identity columns are the point. `chunk_id` and `artifact_id` originate in
Module A and travel through B untouched; C now uses them verbatim instead of
synthesising its own, so an envelope refers to the same chunk every other module
means.

`DbKnowledgeSource` reads B's own SQLAlchemy model rather than redeclaring the
table — C owns no schema and ships no migration. A row B wrote that C cannot
model is logged with its ids and skipped rather than aborting the batch: a
contract breach is worth seeing, but it must not cost the run.
…ates consumption

Retiring a queue row tells Module B never to offer that chunk again. Doing that
while the envelope built from it goes nowhere destroys the chunk outright: B will
not re-offer the row and nothing downstream ever saw the decision. So consumption
is defined against a sink, not against the pipeline having finished.

  JsonlEnvelopeSink — appends one RFC envelope per line; fsynced, append-only so
                      several runs can share a file. `persists=True`.
  NullEnvelopeSink  — counts and discards, for dry runs. `persists=False`, and
                      the runner refuses to consume behind it.

The graph / review-queue writers (W8b) become further implementations of the same
protocol, so the consumption rule does not have to change when they land.

Envelopes are serialised with `exclude_none=True`, which is not cosmetic. The
vendored RFC schemas type their optional fields as plain "string" and leave them
out of `required`, so an absent value must be an absent *key*. Emitting
`"repo": null` fails validation against the very schema Module D reads — every
rss envelope trips it on repo/commit_sha, every github one on feed_url/post_guid.
No data is lost by omitting them: those are exactly the columns B itself stores
NULL per row type, which its own contract documents as `github only; NULL for
rss`.

Two tests pin this, because the old tests could not have caught it — asserting
"one JSON object per line" passes happily on a file whose every record is
invalid. One validates a written envelope against the vendored schema, resolved
in `$id` space so link-proposal's local `#/$defs` pointers resolve; the other
asserts no null survives anywhere in the tree. Both fail if `exclude_none` is
removed.
The mirror image of Module B's queue_writer. B inserts rows and C retires them;
`db.KnowledgeQueueItem`'s own docstring assigns this side to C.

This is the only place Module C writes to Module B's table, and it writes exactly
one column. It never deletes a row: the queue doubles as the audit trail of what B
handed over and what C did with it.

Idempotent by construction — the update is filtered on `consumed_at IS NULL`, so
replaying a run cannot move a timestamp that is already set. The returned count is
rows actually stamped, which is why it can be lower than the number of ids passed
in: a concurrent run got there first, or the id no longer exists. That is reported
rather than raised.

Ids are chunked before the `IN (...)`, because Postgres has a bind-parameter
ceiling and a large IN plans badly.

The caller owns the transaction, matching `run_noise_filter` on B's side.
…de()

`decide()` has accepted `adversarial` / `update_ambiguous` since W6, but no caller
ever passed them, so ADVERSARIAL_FLAG and UPDATE_AMBIGUOUS could not fire from the
pipeline. That was flagged on OWASP#991 as something that must be wired before any
write-back, since an auto-link that skips the safety path is exactly the failure
the flags exist to prevent. This is that wiring.

What is deliberately *not* here is a detector. The real guard — out-of-distribution
scoring, conformal prediction, update detection — is later work. So the seam ships
with NullSafetyGuard, which evaluates nothing and says so: its verdict carries
`evaluated=False`, the pipeline counts those rows, and the runner reports the
count.

That distinction is the whole point. W5's review turned on a gate that skipped and
still reported success; an unevaluated safety path that looks identical to a clean
one is the same failure wearing a different hat. A clean verdict from a guard that
never ran is a default, not a finding, and the run log now says which one it is.

The rule this establishes for W8b: a writer that commits links into the graph must
refuse to run behind a guard reporting `evaluated=False`. Retiring a queue row
without the safety path is recoverable — the envelope is still on disk. Committing
a link into a graph other tools read as truth is not.
…ator

Until now the only place that knew how to construct a real retriever, reranker and
scaler was `cre_main.run_librarian`, inline. That is why the OIE orchestrator (OWASP#996)
could not drive `LibrarianPipeline`: it had the pipeline class but no way to produce
the components it takes. This module is that seam.

Everything here is construction only — no rows are read, no run is executed.
Callers that want a run use `queue_runner.run_librarian_queue`.

The DB and embedding imports are deliberately function-local. The rest of the
librarian package is hermetically testable precisely because it never imports the
database at module scope, and this is the one boundary where that stops being true;
keeping the imports inside the call preserves it for everyone else.

`load_config` now warns when `CRE_LIBRARIAN_TEMPERATURE` is still the 1.0 default,
because 1.0 is the identity transform — an uncalibrated softmax. Thresholding τ
against an uncalibrated confidence is not a smaller version of the right thing, it
is a different thing, so the run says so out loud rather than looking fine.
Module C's live entry point: knowledge_queue -> C.0..C.4 -> consumed. Deliberately
the same shape as Module B's `run_noise_filter` —
`(session, pipeline_run_id, ..., dry_run) -> RunSummary` with a `to_json()` the CLI
prints for the orchestrator to read. B reads harvest_input and fills
knowledge_queue; C drains knowledge_queue and stamps consumed_at.

What this adds over LibrarianPipeline is only the two DB-facing ends. The pipeline
stays persistence-free and hermetic; this wraps it with a live source on one side
and the write-back on the other.

Consumption is gated on persistence. The runner refuses to stamp anything unless it
was given a sink reporting `persists=True` and that sink accepted the batch. Graph
writes are still W8b; JsonlEnvelopeSink is what makes a live drain lossless in the
meantime.

Which rows get retired: everything the pipeline finished with — rows that linked,
rows that routed to review, and rows refused at the C.0 boundary, which is a
definitive refusal (re-reading a malformed row forever helps nobody). Rows that
*errored* mid-pipeline are left unconsumed, because those are the transient
failures — an embedding timeout, a cross-encoder hiccup — the next run should retry.
`RowOutcome` carries that distinction out of the pipeline, and `RunStats.errored`
keeps it separate from `skipped`.

UNCERTAIN rows are not touched. They are Module D's queue, per the B->C contract:
C reads `consumed_at IS NULL AND llm_label = 'KNOWLEDGE'`.

CLI: `--run_librarian` with `--run_id` drains the live queue; without it, walks a
JSONL fixture. `--librarian_envelopes_out` is required for a real run, because a
run with nowhere to put envelopes cannot safely retire anything. Combining
`--librarian_source` with `--run_id` is a usage error rather than one silently
winning.
Found while measuring this branch, and it is the same schema drift the rest of the
PR fixes — just on the harness side.

Golden rows are adapted into a synthetic knowledge_queue row before C.0 validates
them. When Module B's table shape moved in OWASP#989, `queue_row_from_golden` kept
minting the old flat row, so every one of the 319 rows was rejected at the
boundary:

    positive  0/292 (0%)   explicit  0/5 (0%)   ...

And the run still exited 0. With nothing validated, `explicit_total` stayed 0, the
`if explicit_total:` gate skipped itself, and a harness that graded absolutely
nothing reported success. That is precisely the skipped-gate-reports-success
failure the C.3 calibration gate was fixed for on OWASP#974.

Two changes:

- `queue_row_from_golden` mints the full v0.2 shape, with deterministic ids derived
  from the row id (the live reports key their shared audits off them, so two runs
  must produce the same ids).
- A boundary that rejects the whole dataset now fails the run with a message naming
  the likely cause, and an explicit slice that never reaches the resolver fails
  rather than vanishing.

Restored: 319/319 validate, explicit gate 5/5 PASS, hub-firewall strips 319 leaking
entries. Three tests cover it, including one that regresses the adapter to the flat
shape and asserts exit code 1.

Optional: retire the inline construction in run_librarian.

build_components now duplicates the construction block that cre_main.run_librarian still performs inline (application/cmd/cre_main.py lines 1160-1201): the same backend selection, the same pgvector guard, the same pool build, and the same CrossEncoderReranker wiring. Two copies will drift.

The module docstring states this module is the seam. Rewiring run_librarian to call build_components would make that true. This is out of the stated PR scope, so treat it as a follow-up.

Validate before constructing the sink, and move the check next to its sibling in cre.py.

Two points on this block:

  1. Line 1287 constructs the sink before the guard at lines 1288-1294 rejects the invocation. Neither constructor has a side effect today, so this is not a defect, but the order reads backwards. Put the guard first.
  2. This is a CLI usage error, yet it raises SystemExit here while the sibling librarian usage check lives in cre.py lines 334-340 as parser.error(...). parser.error prints the usage text and exits with status 2; SystemExit with a string prints the message and exits with status 1. Two related usage errors therefore behave differently. Move this check to cre.py next to the --librarian_source check.

Note that envelopes_out is also not stripped, unlike run_id at line 1038. A whitespace-only path is truthy and creates a file named from whitespace.

Add a test that the skipped row's text never reaches the log.

The code comment at application/utils/librarian/knowledge_source.py lines 111-113 states that ids are safe to log and the row text is not. test_unmodellable_row_is_skipped_not_fatal asserts a warning was emitted but not what it contains.

args.run_id is shared by --run_noise_filter and --run_librarian.

…run status

**`consumed_at` was written timezone-aware into a naive column.** The runner
passes an aware `at`, and `consumed_at` is a plain `DateTime`. That is
dialect-dependent — SQLite keeps the offset in the string, Postgres drops it —
and the B->C contract is explicit that the UTC wall clock is "stored and read
back timezone-naive". `mark_consumed` now converts to UTC and strips tzinfo, so
the stored instant is correct under both and matches the `created_at` values B
writes beside it. Only ever tested on SQLite, which is exactly why this was
invisible.

**`RunSummary.status` was the constant "ok".** The orchestrator reads this JSON,
so a run that dropped rows to errors, or decided them without the safety path,
still reported success in the one field a consumer branches on. That is the same
failure this module keeps fixing elsewhere: a field that looks like a verdict
while measuring nothing. `finalize_status()` now derives it from the counts and
names the reason.

Note this makes every real run today report `degraded: N decided without the
safety path`, because `NullSafetyGuard` is what ships and no row is ever
evaluated. That is accurate rather than noisy — C genuinely runs without a
safety path until the detector lands, and W8b's graph writer is required to
refuse on exactly this signal.

Also:
- `envelope_sink_test` removes its temp directory; each method wrote envelopes
  containing chunk text and left the directory behind.
- the harness contract test validates every golden row rather than the first 25;
  `main()` validates the whole selection, so a row past the cap could fail C.0
  while the test still passed.
…the regression gate

The last of the Module C plan that is not code: the package README, a runbook, the
measured final metrics, the GSoC final report, and the CI gate that keeps the
golden-set numbers from rotting.

`.gitignore` blanket-ignores `*.md`, so the new docs need explicit negations —
the same pattern `docs/Mid_eval_blog_gsoc2026/module_B_mideval_blog.md` already
uses. Nothing else is un-ignored; gsoc-notes and other local markdown stay out.

The regression workflow is deliberately hermetic: no DB, no key, no model
download. The semantic reports (C.1 recall, C.2 top-1, the C.3 ECE gate, C.4
decision accuracy) need live CRE vectors, and seeding a candidate pool from golden
text offline is exactly the leakage the hub firewall exists to strip — a CI job
that "measured" them would be measuring nothing. What it does catch is the failure
that actually bit this branch: a Module B schema change silently rejecting every
row at the C.0 boundary.

`final_metrics.md` records the numbers as measured, including the two that were
missed. Top-1 is 75% against a planned 90%, and the write-up says why rather than
rounding it away: W8's investigation tried thirteen reranker levers and all
thirteen regressed, because 427 of 428 CREs have empty descriptions — a
cross-encoder cannot cross-attend to a bare title. C.1 still reaches 98% recall
over that same corpus, which localises the problem precisely. The path to 90% runs
through populating CRE descriptions, not through a better reranker, and that is a
corpus problem upstream of Module C.

W9's selective reranking (250/319 vs the shipped 238) is documented as measured
but deliberately unshipped: it needs two calibrators and held-out validation.
Shipping it on in-sample numbers would be the same greenwashing this module spent
four separate fixes removing.
The job failed on its first run: `virtualenv: not found`. `make install-python`
builds a venv — which needs an apt `virtualenv` the other workflows install
first — and then runs `playwright install`. Neither is used by a hermetic
librarian run, and worse, the venv is never activated by the steps that follow,
so they would have executed against a bare interpreter even had it built.

Installs `requirements-dev.txt` straight into the runner's interpreter instead,
which is what the two steps actually need, and drops the browser download.

Also switched the unit step from pytest to `unittest discover`, matching how
`make test` runs the suite in the existing Test job.
…gram fences

- `actions/checkout` now sets `persist-credentials: false`. The job only reads
  the tree, so leaving the token in `.git/config` would expose it to anything
  the test run executes.
- Tagged both ASCII pipeline diagrams as ```text (markdownlint MD040).

Make the test verify persistence before retirement.

Lines 312-316 inspect only the final sink contents. They do not verify that sink.write ran before mark_consumed. A regression that retires rows first would still pass when the sink later succeeds. Make the recording sink check that both rows have consumed_at is None during write, then assert summary.consumed == 2 after the run.

This protects the persistence-before-retirement contract in application/utils/librarian/queue_runner.py.

C was emitting envelopes to a JSONL file. Every other seam in the pipeline is a
table — A hands B `harvest_input`, B hands C `knowledge_queue` — so C hands D
`decision_queue`, and the handoff has the same shape as the one it receives:
the producer inserts, the consumer sets `consumed_at`, nothing is ever deleted,
and the table doubles as the audit trail of what was decided and what was done
with it.

**One table, both outcomes**, separated by `status`, exactly as B puts KNOWLEDGE
and UNCERTAIN in one queue and lets its readers filter:

  linked            LinkProposal — the graph writer's rows
  review_required   ReviewItem with a reason_code — Module D's HITL rows

`envelope` stores the whole RFC document, retrieval audit included, so a decision
stays explainable long after the run. The columns beside it (`status`,
`reason_code`, `review_id`, `confidence`) are projections for filtering, read back
off that same document rather than being a second source of truth.

**Idempotent by construction.** `ON CONFLICT (chunk_id, pipeline_run_id) DO
NOTHING`, the same DB-level idempotence B relies on for `content_hash`, so a
replayed run is a no-op rather than a duplicate or an aborted batch. Uniqueness is
per (chunk, run) and not per chunk: B may legitimately re-offer a chunk in a later
pipeline run, and that decision is its own record.

Migration `e7c3b91d5a24` chains off `b5ac48010165`, main's single head, and leaves
it single.

A real run now writes `decision_queue` by default; `--librarian_envelopes_out`
becomes an optional JSONL mirror rather than the handoff, via `TeeEnvelopeSink`.
The tee reports the contract sink's count and only claims `persists` when every
sink does — otherwise a run could retire rows on the strength of a copy that kept
nothing.

Adds `module_d_contract.md`, the counterpart to B's `module_c_contract.md`: the
table column by column, who writes what, the reason codes, and the two things a
validator needs to know — that absent optional fields are absent keys rather than
nulls, and that the retrieval audit travels with the decision.

14 new tests against a real session: both outcomes land as filterable rows, the
envelope is stored whole and null-free, a replay does not duplicate, a replay
still counts as persisted (so consumption stays safe), and the same chunk in a
later run is a new decision. 242 librarian tests pass.

`_top_confidence` took `links[0]`, but nothing in the schema orders `links`, so
an unordered envelope could store a lower number in `decision_queue.confidence`
than the RFC document beside it carries. The column is meant to be readable off
that same envelope, so it now takes the max. Covered by a test with a
lower-confidence first link.

Comment thread application/utils/librarian/envelope_sink.py
… cross-run writes

Three real defects, all on the live path.

**An unmodellable row was re-read forever.** `DbKnowledgeSource.items()` catches
`ValidationError` and continues, so a row B wrote that C cannot model never
reaches the pipeline — and therefore never appears in `finished_row_ids()`, is
never consumed, and comes back on the next run, and every run after that. The
source now records those ids and the runner retires them: failing the model is a
definitive refusal, exactly like a C.0 boundary rejection, and a row will not
become modellable by being read a second time. They are counted in `skipped`
rather than disappearing, and the row itself is never deleted, so the evidence
survives for whoever has to fix the contract breach.

**A blank `pipeline_run_id` drained everything.** `DbKnowledgeSource` applies the
scope filter behind a truthiness test, so an empty or whitespace-only id skipped
the filter entirely: the runner would read every unconsumed KNOWLEDGE row from
every run, stamp `consumed_at` on all of them, and write the blank id onto every
envelope. Unrecoverable once done, since the rows are retired under a provenance
nobody can trace back. Now rejected at the entry point.

**`DbEnvelopeSink` accepted envelopes from another run.** The row is keyed on
`envelope.pipeline_run_id` while the runner consumes rows for the sink's run id.
A mismatch writes the decision under one run and retires the source row under
another, so `(chunk_id, pipeline_run_id)` uniqueness stops protecting anything.
Now refused before any row is built, so a bad envelope writes nothing at all
rather than leaving a half-inserted batch.

Also documents what `JsonlEnvelopeSink` does and does not promise. It is a mirror
for eyeballing a run, not the handoff: no cross-process coordination, no dedup on
replay. `decision_queue` is the durable record and is idempotent per (chunk, run),
and consumption turns on that insert rather than on the file — which is what
makes the file's weaker guarantees acceptable rather than a hazard.

247 librarian tests pass. The poison-row test was verified to fail with the fix
removed.

Comment thread application/utils/librarian/queue_runner.py
Several of these were marked resolved without the code actually changing, so
this closes them properly.

**Source-rejected rows were counted as skipped but not as read.** `result.stats.total`
excludes them, since they never enter the pipeline, so a valid row plus an
unmodellable one reported one read and two outcomes. Both counts now include
them, and the test asserts `linked + skipped == read` rather than just a lower
bound.

**The identity test proved nothing about the envelope.** It ran a dry run,
discarded the result, then re-read the row through `DbKnowledgeSource` and
`section_from_queue_row` and asserted on that freshly derived section — bypassing
the runner entirely. It now asserts on the envelope the runner actually handed to
the sink, including that the run id is stamped from the run and that B's
provenance survives.

**Docs claimed 223 tests; there are 247.** Corrected in both places.

**`UNCERTAIN` retirement was undocumented.** Both guides described the errored
rule and left this out. Stated in the README and the runbook: C reads only
`KNOWLEDGE`, so it never reads and never retires an `UNCERTAIN` row — the queue
grows a tail nobody drains until Module D exists, and that is not C falling
behind.

**The live exit-status claim was too strong.** C.3 is the only gate a *live* run
adds; the C.0.5 explicit slice and a collapsed C.0 boundary fail the run in
either mode.

**Postgres is unverified, and only the PR said so.** Now stated in the runbook
and the final report, next to the B->C claim it qualifies.

**The regression gate could be bypassed.** Workflow-only or dependency-only
pushes did not trigger it; `librarian_regression.yml` and `requirements-dev.txt`
are now in both path filters.

247 librarian tests pass.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Qualify the database requirement claim.

The live-queue validation uses SQLite. Replace “no database” with “no external database” or separate the hermetic test count from SQLite integration validation.

Based on learnings, SQLite validation uses the same SQLAlchemy models, types, and migration intended for SQLite and Postgres, while no real Postgres run has been completed.

Proposed wording
-**247 tests**, all hermetic — no database, API key, or model download required.
