Summary

• Best Practice Prescription extractive-first top-up (fix 1). The measured query "What does the best practice prescription document require?" already matches isSourceBoundBestPracticePrescriptionRequirementsQuery (class document_lookup, verified offline). What failed was the evidence: the fast four-chunk selection carried only the AKG procedure's p4 legislative/monitoring chunks (05a8819b, 212f78ad in canaries 38383361787 and 38419027058). So buildBestPracticePrescriptionRequirementsAnswer never saw its p1 program-use + p2 medication-profile pair (live chunks 321cfd4f, 3babd452; both pass the builder's existing regexes). The query fell through to gpt-5.6-terra, and the final gate rejected that answer as ungrounded_unsupported_answer. New src/lib/rag/rag-best-practice-prescription-evidence.ts mirrors the Admission/discharge comparison: pick the two stages' evidence jointly across documents #3527 admission/discharge top-up. For this one query only, and only when the selection cannot form the pair, it appends at most one governed eligible chunk per role from the same document, using the builder's own predicates (now exported, otherwise unchanged). The short-circuit still requires the candidate to pass every final quality gate. The answer text, regexes and source content are not changed.
• Blocking-gate retry (fix 3). Every canary red since 2026-09-13 was a different single-case gate: citation_failure_rate 0.0227 (one case in 44), one unaccounted review fallback, and one 6.4 s refusal pushing route-unsupported p95 to 6360 against 4000. eval:quality --fail-on-threshold now re-runs only the cases implicated in a blocking RAG failure, once (scripts/lib/eval-quality-retry.ts). It then rebuilds the report with each retry substituted for its first attempt, so a gate blocks only if the same case fails again. Latency gates are re-evaluated as p95 over the population that includes the retry samples. Retrieval and offline-invariant failures are never retried. Every threshold value is unchanged (pinned by a test). The report gains a ## Blocking-Gate Retry section and a gate_retry JSON field listing first-attempt blocking failures, the retried cases with first/retry failures, latency and routing reason, and the blocking failures after retry. --no-gate-retry keeps the old behaviour.
• Not in this PR: assessment-documentation ranking (fix 2). Offline replay of the live chunks through rankAnswerEvidence and selectModelContextEvidence, with equal retrieval scores, already ranks Assessment Documentation (AKG) 1–3. Live, only its weaker p3 chunks reach selection, so the loss is upstream in candidate retrieval/scoring. I could not observe that without the live search diagnostics, and the read-only text RPC returned no rows outside the app context. Shipping an unmeasured ranking change is exactly what docs/rag-behaviour/refuted-approaches.md forbids, so this needs a scoped follow-up with live score explanations. The fixture is unchanged.
• Owner approval: BigSimmo approved all three fixes on Oct 13 2026 (11:32 PM AWST), including the protected-surface change and canary-pair process.

Areas touched: Answer engine (plus 1 file not yet placed in any area)

RAG impact: behaviour change — canary pair 38419027058 -> planned post-merge

Verification

• Checks run: npx vitest run tests/rag-best-practice-prescription-evidence.test.ts tests/rag-extractive-first.test.ts tests/rag-admission-discharge-comparison-fallback.test.ts gives 34 passed. The first new test reproduces the live miss (the p4-only selection does not short-circuit). npx vitest run tests/eval-quality-retry.test.ts tests/eval-quality.test.ts gives 49 passed. tests/eval-canary-workflow.test.ts + tests/rag-imputation-contract.test.ts give 16 passed. eslint is clean on the changed files, tsc --noEmit reports no errors in the changed files, and the maintainability budgets pass (rag-extractive-answer.ts 5234/5269).

Verification not run: verify:pr-local and provider-backed eval:quality / eval:retrieval:quality. The box was overloaded so only narrow suites ran, and provider evals are owner-run. Under the canary-pair protocol the eval-canary measures only main. Baseline is the latest canary on main, 38419027058 (red; last green 34122919100 on 1d6ba4f). The post run is one owner-approved eval-canary dispatch after merge, once main CI settles. Pass criteria: best-practice-prescribing routes validated_best_practice_prescription_requirements_extractive_first and grounds; golden retrieval stays 36/36 with zero per-case rr regressions.

Risk and rollout

• Risk: low. Fix 1 can only append evidence for one exact query string and still fails closed through the unchanged final gates. Fix 3 can turn a red canary green only when the implicated case passes on its retry. It can also add provider cost for the retried cases (typically 1–3 cases).
• Rollback: revert either commit independently. They are separate (fix(rag) and fix(eval)).
• Provider or production effects: None at merge. Retries run only inside provider-backed eval:quality --fail-on-threshold runs.

Clinical Governance Preflight

• Source-backed claims still require linked source verification before clinical use
• No patient-identifiable document workflow was introduced or expanded without explicit governance approval
• Supabase target remains PsychSift Production (sjrfecxgysukkwxsowpy)
• Service-role keys and private document access remain server-only
• Demo/synthetic content remains clearly separated from real clinical sources
• Source metadata, review status, and outdated/unknown-source behavior remain conservative
• Deployment classification/TGA SaMD impact was checked when clinical decision-support behavior changed

The last item is left unchecked deliberately. Fix 1 changes which already-shipped deterministic answer serves one administrative procedure question, and no SaMD review was done for this PR. No clinical content, answer wording or source text changed. The top-up chunks pass the same governed context-pack admission as the packer.

Notes

• Investigation: canary runs 34773883150, 38363682098, 38383361787, 38419027058. Live chunk text was read with read-only SQL.
• Auto-merge is not armed: this is a RAG-ranking/clinical-risk PR with a canary-pair requirement, not an ordinary PR.

Summary by cubic

Fixes the Best Practice Prescription "requirements" query falling through to model generation when the fast four-chunk selection carried only the procedure's legislative/monitoring chunks. When the selected evidence can't form the program-use + medication-profile pair, the extractive-first builder now appends at most one governed eligible chunk per role from the same document, using the builder's own (now exported) evidence predicates. The deterministic answer fires as before, and the candidate still passes every final quality gate; answer text, regexes, and source content are unchanged.

Fixes eval:quality --fail-on-threshold blocking on single-case RAG gates. Every canary red since 2026-09-13 was a different one-case gate (one citation miss in 44, one unaccounted review fallback, one slow refusal pushing route p95 over the limit). The command re-runs only the cases behind a blocking RAG failure once, substitutes each retry for its first attempt, and gates only when the same case fails again. Retry selection shares the grounded-supported predicate with the gates.

• Latency and route-ceiling gates never retry (a retry can't clear them) and always block; retrieval and offline-invariant failures also never retry.
• First attempts stay in latency p95 populations, route buckets, estimated cost, and route-ceiling counts, so a retried case can't hide a slow or over-ceiling first attempt.
• A rerun that throws keeps the whole first-attempt verdict, with each gate listed once at its first-attempt value; partial passing retries can never lift a rate gate.
• Threshold values are unchanged and pinned by tests. --no-gate-retry keeps the old behavior. Diagnostic dumps tag attempts as initial or retry; the report gains a ## Blocking-Gate Retry section and gate_retry JSON field.

Rollout and scope

• No production behavior changes at merge: the top-up applies only to the one measured query, and retries run only inside provider-backed eval:quality runs.
• The two fixes are separate commits (fix(rag) and fix(eval)), so each can be reverted independently.
• Also pins the clock in the roster give-away test, which had started failing on every run from 14 Oct 2026 because the fixture shift counts as urgent inside 24 hours.
• The Assessment Documentation (AKG) ranking loss is a separate upstream retrieval-scoring issue and needs a scoped follow-up; the fixture is unchanged.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Restore grounded Best Practice Prescription answers and retry failed quality checks

What Changed

• Best Practice Prescription questions can now use the required program-use and medication-profile evidence when the initial results miss it, allowing a grounded answer instead of a model-generated answer that may be rejected.
• Blocking quality checks rerun only the answer cases linked to a failure, once. Repeated failures still block, and latency checks continue to count the original attempt.
• Reports show retry outcomes; if a retry fails to run, the original evaluation verdict is kept.

Impact

✅ Grounded Best Practice Prescription answers
✅ Fewer one-off quality-check blocks
✅ Slow first attempts still count toward latency limits

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Quality evaluations retry eligible cases once by default when blocking thresholds fail; retries can be disabled. Reports show retry outcomes and remaining failures, and retain first-attempt latency and cost in aggregate metrics.
  • Diagnostic reports distinguish initial and retry attempts. Explicitly selected case IDs are evaluated regardless of the configured case limit, without reporting them as dropped.
  • Qualifying Best Practice Prescription answers can use matching program-use and medication-profile evidence from the same source, adding only evidence that is missing.

Walkthrough

The change adds one-time retries for retryable blocking failures in quality evaluation. It also adds same-document evidence selection for qualifying Best Practice Prescription queries in the RAG extractive answer path.

Changes

Blocking-gate retries

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Retry selection and reporting scripts/lib/eval-quality-retry.ts, tests/eval-quality-retry.test.ts	New helpers map recognized blocking failures to case IDs, retain first-attempt latency and cost samples, merge retry results, and summarize and render retry details. Tests cover failure mapping, retry summaries, and non-retryable failures.
Evaluator retry flow scripts/eval-quality.ts, tests/eval-quality-retry.test.ts	The evaluator enables retries by default and adds --no-gate-retry. When threshold failures block a run, it reruns implicated cases once and rebuilds the report with retry data. Explicit case IDs override the case limit. Diagnostic dumps label both attempts.

Best Practice Prescription evidence

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Evidence selection src/lib/rag/rag-best-practice-prescription-evidence.ts, src/lib/rag/rag-extractive-answer.ts, tests/rag-best-practice-prescription-evidence.test.ts	A helper selects program-use and medication-profile evidence from the same document for qualifying queries. It appends only missing results. The evidence predicates are exported, and tests cover selection conditions.
Extractive answer integration src/lib/rag/rag.ts, tests/rag-best-practice-prescription-evidence.test.ts	The answer path applies the helper before the validated extractive short circuit and extractive answer path. Tests check the effect on short-circuit selection.

A retry that later crashes can change the quality-gate verdict instead of preserving the first attempt. This is a bounded reporting issue, but the error path should be corrected before relying on that verdict.

Full details: Verification Claims

Explanation

The verification claims remain non-compliant. The description states “eslint is clean on the changed files” and “the maintainability budgets pass” without naming the exact command or check. It states that tests/eval-canary-workflow.test.ts plus tests/rag-imputation-contract.test.ts “give 16 passed” without naming the exact command. It also marks verify:pr-local and provider-backed checks as not run without a reason. The objectives repeat these claims. The description is truncated, so the omitted text cannot establish compliance for the visible omissions.

Resolution

Update the Verification section. Name the exact command or check and result for every passed item, such as Ran <exact ESLint command>: passed, Ran <exact maintainability-budget command>: passed, and Ran npx vitest run tests/eval-canary-workflow.test.ts tests/rag-imputation-contract.test.ts: 16 passed.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Change retrieval ranking

• ➕ Could improve evidence selection for more queries.
• ➖ Has broader ranking effects and does not directly address the measured missing pair without retrieval diagnostics.

2. Rerun the entire evaluation suite

• ➕ Requires no case-to-gate mapping.
• ➖ Increases provider cost and runtime and retests cases unrelated to the blocking failure.

Recommendation: Keep the scoped evidence top-up and case-targeted retry: they address the measured failures without changing answer requirements or gate thresholds. Investigate upstream retrieval ranking separately when live diagnostics are available.

CodeAnt PR Risk: Low Risk

• The PR appears safe to merge; the retry logic retains first-attempt latency and preserves non-retryable failures.
• The offline retry selector uses the same grounded-support condition as the report, and tests cover the previously missed cases.
• The prescription evidence top-up is limited to matching queries and same-document evidence pairs, with targeted tests for its behavior.

1. The give-away test cannot advance its timer ⊘ Outdated

Description

The new Date-only vi.useFakeTimers call runs before the test's existing call that mocks
setTimeout, but the installed Vitest version respects only the first call. When the test advances
the give-away hold timer, setTimeout is still real, so the scheduled post does not run and the
assertion fails.

Code

tests/roster-team-calendar-manager.dom.test.tsx[305]

+    vi.useFakeTimers({ toFake: ["Date"], now: new Date("2026-10-13T00:00:00Z") });

Relevance

●●● Strong

Accepted timing determinism fixes are favored; this directly prevents the delayed callback from
using real timers.

PR-#2305

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence

The lockfile pins Vitest 5.0.3. Vitest's later fix explicitly states that previously only the first
useFakeTimers call was respected; this test first mocks only Date, then tries to mock setTimeout
before calling advanceTimersByTime for the delayed roster action.

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The new Date-only fake-timer call prevents the later `setTimeout` fake-timer configuration from taking effect under the installed Vitest version. The give-away hold therefore cannot be advanced by the test.

## Fix Focus Areas
- tests/roster-team-calendar-manager.dom.test.tsx[300-305]
- tests/roster-team-calendar-manager.dom.test.tsx[311-319]

## Recommended Fix
Restore real timers after finding the offer button and before the existing `vi.useFakeTimers({ toFake: ["setTimeout", "clearTimeout"] })` call. Keep Date pinned while rendering and locating the offer button, then use the timeout-only fake timers to schedule and advance the hold.

not keep the initial blocking verdict. If two cases cause a grounded-supported rate failure, one
successful retry can bring the rate above its threshold before the other retry throws, leaving no
blocking failure and allowing the command to exit successfully.

Evidence

The retry loop retains completed results before a later exception; the catch records the error but
does not fail the run. Those completed results replace their first attempts, while the final exit
status depends only on the rebuilt blocking failures. The grounded-supported rate is a population
threshold, so fixing one of two failing cases can clear the gate even though the other case's retry
never completed.

3. Offline provider use escapes the gate ✓ Resolved

main rebuilds the offline provider-invariant verdict from substituted retry results, even though

failures and leave the run passing despite the first attempt's provider use.

5. Latency gates drop the slow samples instead of counting both ✓ Resolved

Description

For p95 failures, blockingGateRetryCaseIds picks every case slower than the limit, and
mergeRetriedRagResults then swaps each retry result in for its first attempt. The slow first
samples are thrown away rather than added alongside the retries, so the 'p95 over the population
that includes the retry samples' that the module doc, the report text and the PR description promise
is never computed.
Because every sample over the limit gets replaced, the gate effectively passes whenever each slow
case is fast at least once in two runs. A real tail-latency regression that hits about half of
requests would then pass the canary, and the report would claim the slow attempts were included.

Code

scripts/lib/eval-quality-retry.ts[R92-95]

+export function mergeRetriedRagResults(original: RagQualityResult[], retried: RagQualityResult[]) {
+  const byId = new Map(retried.map((result) => [result.id, result]));

p95 only from results.map(r => r.latencyMs), so the first-attempt latencies never reach the
recomputed gate. The module comment (lines 10-11) and the rendered markdown (line 142) both say the

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
A thrown blocking-gate rerun returns no results, causing the Markdown report to say no retryable RAG case was implicated instead of showing the recorded `retry_error`.

## Fix Focus Areas
- scripts/lib/eval-quality-retry.ts[153-170]
- scripts/eval-quality.ts[1629-1646]

## Recommended Fix
In `renderGateRetryMarkdown`, handle `retry.retry_error` before the `!retry.attempted` early return. Distinguish a failed attempted rerun from a run with no retryable cases: show the failure, note that the first-attempt verdict was kept, and list the initial blocking failures instead of displaying the no-retryable-case message. Consider recording `caseIds` in the summary so the report can identify the cases the failed rerun was meant to cover. Add a unit test for Markdown rendered with `attempted: false` and a non-null `retry_error` after a thrown retry.

3. Completed retries vanish after a later error ✓ Resolved

Description

main assigns retryRun only after the entire runRagQualityCases call resolves, so its catch
retains the empty default if a later case throws. When multiple cases are retried, earlier completed
results and diagnostic records are absent from the final receipt and dump, and their attempts are
omitted from reported latency and cost.

Code

scripts/eval-quality.ts[R1613-1617]

+    let retryRun:
+      Awaited<ReturnType<typeof runRagQualityCases>> | { results: RagQualityResult[]; diagnosticCases: [] } = {
+      results: [],
+      diagnosticCases: [],
+    };

Failed retries can discard completed results; similar eval observability and error-preservation
fixes were accepted.

Evidence

The case loop accumulates results and diagnostics locally; an exception rejects the function without
returning either array. The caller then uses its empty fallback to build the receipt, retained
samples and diagnostic dump.

1. A crashed retry can pass a failing canary ✓ Resolved

Description

main substitutes completed retry results even when a later retry throws, but retry_error does
not keep the initial blocking verdict. If two cases cause a grounded-supported rate failure, one
successful retry can bring the rate above its threshold before the other retry throws, leaving no
blocking failure and allowing the command to exit successfully.

Code

scripts/eval-quality.ts[R1653-1656]

+    const retryReceipt = {
+      ...summarizeGateRetry({ initial, final: merged, retried, nonRetryable }),
+      attempted: caseIds.length > 0,
+      retry_error: retryError,

Accepted patterns require fail-closed behavior when errors could otherwise produce a passing result;

Evidence

The retry loop retains completed results before a later exception; the catch records the error but
does not fail the run. Those completed results replace their first attempts, while the final exit
status depends only on the rebuilt blocking failures. The grounded-supported rate is a population
threshold, so fixing one of two failing cases can clear the gate even though the other case's retry
never completed.

## Recommended Fix
Preserve a blocking verdict whenever the retry run throws, while retaining completed retry results, latency samples, diagnostics, and the error receipt. Add a test in which one of multiple implicated cases succeeds on retry and a later case throws.

CI failed: The CodSpeed benchmark job ran successfully but failed at the results-upload step with a 401 because the CodSpeed GitHub App is not installed for the account or organization; this is an integration setup issue unrelated to the RAG/eval changes in this PR.

Overview

One unique error template was found across 22 analyzed logs for commit d7b359e. The failure is an authentication issue in the CodSpeed benchmark upload step; the benchmarks themselves completed.

Failures

CodSpeed results upload rejected with 401 (confidence: high)

• Type: authentication
• Affected jobs: 115676023837
• Related to change: no
• Root cause: CodSpeed's OIDC token was minted by GitHub Actions but rejected with 401 Unauthorized because no GitHub App is installed for the account or organization. The change context only touches RAG and evaluation code, with no workflow or authentication configuration change that would explain this.
• Suggested fix: Install the CodSpeed GitHub App for the repository's account or organization, then verify the workflow's CodSpeed authentication and permissions before rerunning the benchmark job.

Summary

• Change-related failures: None identified. The failure is not linked to this PR's changes.
• Infrastructure/flaky failures: One authentication/integration setup failure (CodSpeed App not installed). It is not flaky, but it is environmental rather than code-related.
• Recommended action: Install the CodSpeed GitHub App for the organization and rerun the benchmark job. No code changes are needed for this PR based on these logs.

Code Review ✅ Approved 4 closed / 4 findings

🟡 Medium risk · The query-specific evidence top-up can change a prescription-procedure answer, while retry substitution could let intermittent quality failures pass unnoticed.

Adds a governed extractive-first top-up for the Best Practice Prescription requirements query and a one-time blocking-gate retry in eval:quality. Latency-gate retries were removed, the retry report text was corrected, and crashed retries now list each gate once at its first-attempt value. No open findings remain.

✅ Bug: Latency gate retry replaces slow samples instead of adding retries

📄 scripts/lib/eval-quality-retry.ts:9-11 📄 scripts/lib/eval-quality-retry.ts:91-95 📄 scripts/lib/eval-quality-retry.ts:142 📄 scripts/eval-quality.ts:1588-1592
The module comment, the rendered report text ("latency gates as p95 over the population including the retry samples") and the PR description all say latency gates are re-checked over a population that includes the retry samples. mergeRetriedRagResults actually swaps each retried result in place of its first attempt. That drops every first-attempt sample above the limit, because the latency branches retry every case over the limit. In practice any route/global p95 gate clears whenever the slow cases come back fast once, even when the slowness is intermittent and recurring. Meanwhile the report tells reviewers the slow samples were kept. To match the documented semantics, run the latency gates over first attempts plus retry samples (for example, append the retried latencies when building the latency summary). If substitution is what you want, fix the comment and the report wording so the canary receipt doesn't misstate how the gate was evaluated.

✅ Quality: Retry report text misdescribes the new latency gate population

📄 scripts/lib/eval-quality-retry.ts:166 📄 scripts/lib/eval-quality-retry.ts:100-113
This commit changes latency gates so they keep each first-attempt sample next to its retry (latencySamplesForRetry → additionalLatencySamples). The rendered ## Blocking-Gate Retry section still says gates were re-evaluated "with the retry result in place of the first attempt (latency gates as p95 over the population including the retry samples)". That suggests the slow first attempt was swapped out, which is the opposite of what now happens. Readers of a still-red canary report may assume a retry should have cleared a latency gate that by design can't clear while the slow sample counts. Fix: update the sentence to say first-attempt latency samples stay in the p95 population for latency gates.

✅ Quality: Latency-gate cases are still re-run though the retry can't clear them

📄 scripts/lib/eval-quality-retry.ts:65-71 📄 scripts/lib/eval-quality-retry.ts:102-116 📄 scripts/eval-quality.ts:1637-1646
After this commit, latencySamplesForRetry keeps the first-attempt latency of every retried case in the p95 population. A slow first attempt therefore stays in the gate, and the new test confirms the 6360 ms unsupported-route case still blocks after a fast retry. blockingGateRetryCaseIds still selects every case over the limit when a RAG p95_latency_ms or RAG route … p95_latency_ms gate fails. Those cases get a provider-backed rerun (extra cost, now added to estimated_cost_usd) that can't change the verdict. The receipt then lists them as "retried" as if the retry could clear the gate. This includes the slow-refusal canary red the PR description gives as a reason for fix 3. Fix: send latency-gate failures to nonRetryable so no cases are selected for them. If retrying latency is meant to be partly effective, document that explicitly instead.

✅ Edge Case: Crashed-retry verdict can list the same gate twice with different values

📄 scripts/lib/eval-quality-retry.ts:197-205 📄 scripts/eval-quality.ts:1662-1673
The new finalBlockingFailures checks for duplicates by exact string match (!args.merged.includes(failure)). Failure messages carry the measured value, for example RAG grounded_supported_rate 0.9 below 0.95. Suppose a retry crashes after some cases finish and the rate gate is still failing at a new value, such as 0.92 below 0.95. The final list then holds both the first-attempt string and the merged string for one gate. blocking_threshold_failures and gate_retry.final_blocking_threshold_failures count that gate twice, and the report shows two conflicting values. The same thing happens to non-retryable latency gates, because the merged p95 is recomputed with the extra retry samples. A fix is to dedupe on the message with its value removed (the gate key), or to use initial alone when retryError is set.
