The pre-pass delivered the right concept and the answer could not name it.
Measured by portfolio-optimiser 2026-09-08 over three paid arms: the gold
concept came back at rank 1 of 8 on 3 of 3 bundles, and the model answered
correctly on 1 of 3, because a delivered excerpt carried `concept_id`, body
text and nothing the document is known by. The previous session measured the
same gap from the other side: the provenance it had just written into every
concept did not reach the payload at all.
`excerpt_for` now carries `title` unconditionally, and `req_number`, the SPEC
5.1 address `sources` and each locator key (`source_pages`, `source_sheet`,
`source_rows`, `source_lines`, `source_offset`) when the concept has them. A key
the producer did not write stays absent: an empty value would assert that they
wrote an empty one, which is the contract's 6.4 failure.
`sources` is read in BOTH YAML forms, on a measurement rather than a taste. K2
writes the flow form on 629 of 629 concepts; the largest N-bundle writes the
block form on 270 of 270 and carries no locator key at all, so a flow-only
reader delivers that bundle with no address whatsoever. Reading the block form
is not a licence to write it - the emission rule is untouched, because the
line-oriented parser still cannot round-trip a block list. A `sources` value
this reader cannot decode is named (`sources_unreadable`), never dropped into
the same silence as an absent one.
Contract 8 gains the requirement and the checker gains its code
(`excerpt_unnamed`, 15 rules now, was 14): an excerpt a reader cannot name is
one an answer cannot cite, whatever its rank. `req_number`, `sources` and the
locators are SHOULD, not MUST - they are conditional on the producer, and a
bundle whose concepts carry no identifier cannot deliver one.
K2 controls, same question and same k, before against a frozen copy of the tool
at b6a8c8b: the RANKING does not move - the same 8 concept ids in the same
order, identical `text_sha256`, identical `withheld`, identical denominators
(629 = 621 + 8). The FIELD is what moved: payload 108 877 -> 111 744 B
(+2.63 %), budget spent 18 606 -> 20 907 (+287.6 B per excerpt), excerpt
members 9 -> 15, 83 changed lines. The contract document's own bytes moved with
8, so the budget instrument's known-positive moves with it: 10 349 -> 12 049
measured, 10 060 -> 11 719 raw, delta 289 -> 330.
New fixture `tests/fixtures/consume-provenance`: the two address forms and a
concept carrying neither address nor identifier. Purpose-built, because the two
real bundles are complementary and neither exercises both forms.
Suite 1347 (1339 before), ruff clean, mypy src clean.

A concept named its source file by basename and, when segmented, carried a
`source_offset` into the text THIS LIBRARY extracted. Following that pointer
needed the corpus directory, the extractor and its exact transitive version --
none of which the bundle carries. Hand-walked on a real K2 concept: six steps,
four of them requiring knowledge from outside the bundle, to learn that a
requirement sits on pages 12-13 of a 20-page document.
The address is spec's: `sources: [{ resource, title }]`, where `resource` is
the dropped file's inbox-relative path (SPEC v0.2 5.1:303-306 -- "an absolute
URL, a bundle-relative path, or a path into a `references/` subdirectory").
The locator is ours, and it has to be: 5.1 has no field for a place within a
resource, and the pinned guard (1.3.0) rejects every route to putting one
inside a `sources` entry -- a non-allowlisted key by name, a nested flow list
as "scalar leaves only", and quoting as an unsupported form. So the locator is
top-level keys shaped like `source_offset`, and a path carrying a flow
terminator is refused fail-fast rather than mangled.
The unit table is built AT EXTRACTION, where the extracted text and the
original's structure are known to agree: pdf -> `source_pages` from
pdfplumber's own page numbers (a page that yielded no text does not renumber
the ones after it), xlsx -> `source_sheet` + `source_rows`, everything else ->
`source_lines`. `source_offset` stays.
Two measurements changed the design before it shipped. A `paragraphs` key for
docx would name a number the document does not have: `<w:p>` counts of
108/27/65/176/57 against converted-markdown lines of 75/33/67/144/63, not one
pair agreeing -- so the key is `source_lines` and says what it indexes. And an
empty spreadsheet row renders exactly like a table separator: the content-based
rule ate 8 empty rows on the K2 price sheet and reported its last row as 92
against a workbook that says 100. The separator is now found by position, and
`tomrad.xlsx` keeps that red.
One profile moves. `provenance` is a policy object, `None` everywhere but
`SEGMENTED_OKF_V0_2`; the other five shipped profiles are byte-identical.
K2 rebuilt from a frozen src copy: 629 concepts, 1108 files, name set identical,
0 ids moved, 479 files byte-identical, 629 changed and 0 lines removed anywhere.
629/629 now carry an address and a locator. New ref
`sha256-tree:665563a2f74423fcbcc8e4f0b0954ee73b73985ac0418de4f6987bd162a1f7c8`;
`2f82fcfe...` is stale. The pre-pass payload does not grow by one byte
(209 092 B before and after, 18 changed lines: the ref and eight per-concept
digests) -- because an excerpt carries the body, not the frontmatter, which is
also why the consumer still cannot cite "file X page 12" from a payload alone.

Step 12's README section is brought forward to here because the docs gate is
right: a feat commit that ships a new command needs the command documented.
CLAUDE.md's Commands section gains the pre-pass beside `okf build`. Nothing
else moves.
Contract check against a real payload from the 629-concept bundle:
$ .venv/bin/python tools/okf_consume.py <K2-bundle> \
--question 'Hvordan skal prisene fylles ut?' --out /tmp/k2.json
$ .venv/bin/python tools/okf_contract_check.py \
--skill skills/okf-consume/SKILL.md --payload /tmp/k2.json
conformant: 14 rules over 8 excerpts and 621 withheld entries, 0 findings
exit=0
And the two negative controls, because a green checker proves little on its
own -- measured, it returns 0 findings on an empty payload paired with the
unfilled template:
broken denominator identity -> NOT conformant, 2 findings, exit=1
missing payload file -> exit=2
Placeholder scan, known-positive first: the DOTALL scan reports 20 occurrences
on the template and 0 on this copy. The shipped example payload is generated
from the in-repo golden bundle, not from the corpus, and a test regenerates it
byte for byte. No K2 concept path or document title reaches any tracked file
here, checked with a pattern shown able to find against the bundle's own index.
Suite run after git add: 1224 passed, mypy --strict clean on 26 files,
ruff clean.
