Round 6 left two things behind: a measured coverage hole with the repair built
but not the number to move it, and a retrieval regression that kept two
spreadsheet rules off the default. Both are measured; four defaults move.
THE HOLE IS BIGGER THAN THE RULE BUILT FOR IT. Measured over the 39-document
corpus, the pre-move default left 207 435 characters -- 11.92 % -- in no
segment: 163 804 above the first entry, 26 041 between entries, 17 590 after
the last. `--first-span-from-zero` closes the first part entirely, 79 % of the
whole, leaving 43 631 (2.51 %) over 8 of 32 documents. It adds no boundary and
the K2 concept count is identical with and without it (425 = 425); hit@8 holds
[1,1,1,1,1,-] under both tie-breaks and the 12-position reference does not move
one cell.
THE RANKER WAS PUNISHING FINE-GRAINING FOR BEING FINE-GRAINED. Round 6 held
`--sheet-section-rows --keep-table-heading` back because on a bundle built with
them row 1 fell rank 1 -> 2, and ruled out the document prior because its rank
over 39 DOCUMENTS was 1 on both bundles. RRF reads a rank over CONCEPTS:
splitting the gold document 1 -> 12 puts its own twelve concepts in that
signal's whole top tie group, so the one leading the body signal takes position
11, contributing 1/71 where the undivided concept contributed 1/61. A signal
that scored them all EQUALLY still emitted twelve ranks, ordered by concept_id,
and the fusion read alphabetical order as a measurement.
AND THE REPAIR WAS ALREADY IN THE TREE, OFF FOR A COST THAT HAD BEEN REMOVED.
`--tie-shared-rank` shipped off 2026-09-08 because hit@8 fell 5 of 6 to 4 of 6.
Swept over 2 prior exponents x 3 bundles x 6 rows: that fall exists only at
DOCUMENT_PRIOR_EXPONENT 1.0. Round 6 moved the exponent to 0.5 for an unrelated
reason and correctly reported it moved no hit@8 row -- nobody measured the
pair. A flag's "off by measurement" is a measurement of a CONFIGURATION, not a
property of the flag.
Shipped, each with an explicit opt-out and both directions measured rather than
asserted: --no-first-span-from-zero --no-sheet-section-rows
--no-keep-table-heading reproduces the previous bundle byte for byte (diff -rq,
0 differences), and the no-flag build equals the explicit-flag build.
--no-tie-shared-rank reproduces the previous excerpt order -- the one change
here that alters a payload with no bundle changing.
K2 default: 436 concepts / 832 files, digest 8dff8a8e6c15d2f7..., hit@8 5 of 6
ranks [1,1,1,1,1,-]. The pin now holds its own known-negative on those bytes:
read with --no-tie-shared-rank the same bundle gives [2,1,1,1,1,-], so the
green assertion names its cause. Consumer cost is a re-run: 425/810 -> 436/832
on the reference corpus, 15/30 -> 26/52 on a five-document folder.
pptx and md measured end to end for the first time, on two hand-built
documents: md recovers 3 of 4 declared headings, pptx segments per slide only
where the converter recognised a title placeholder. A converter attribute leaks
into titles ({#slide-N}, {#sheet-1}) on 2 of 810 K2 files and 1 of 30 on a
five-document folder -- not fixed, because a filename is reduced from its title
and the fix renames concept ids a consumer has cited.

The consumer's question about `vann- og frostsikring` in a subsea tunnel
delivered 0 of the 16 concepts covering it, best of them at fused rank 14.
Reproduced with the denominator, then decomposed per signal before anything
was built.
It is not a matcher miss. `normalise("vann- og frostsikring")` already returns
`('vann', 'frostsikring')` on HEAD, the prefix rule already bridges the
inflections, and the best covering concept already answers 7 of 7 question
tokens -- more than any delivered one. A tokeniser rule had nothing to widen.
It is the fusion, but not a weight. RRF ranks every concept in every signal,
including a signal that scored them all the same, and the declared
`(-score, concept_id)` tie-break then orders that group by id. On N500 the
document prior has TWO distinct values over 270 concepts, so the third signal
contributed alphabetical UUID order spread from 1/61 to 1/329 -- enough to put
a concept leading the body signal behind concepts sharing only `tunnel` and
`vann`.
`--tie-shared-rank` lets concepts a signal scores equally share that group's
first rank. The miss closes: best covering 14 -> 3, 2 of 16 delivered. OFF BY
DEFAULT, by the order's own rule: the three requirement lookups hold at rank 1
and the K2 digest holds, but hit@8 over the six published questions falls 5 of
6 to 4 of 6. Decomposed rather than guessed -- K2's prior is coarse (6 values
over 39 documents) rather than degenerate, and one gold sat early in its tie
group. That benefit was never a measurement, but it is a published row.
`--withheld-titles` gives each withheld entry the concept's title, so a reader
can see WHAT was withheld without reading the bundle. 11 lines of code; the
bytes are why it is off. It grows an N500 payload 37.9 % and takes the
629-concept K2 bundle's BOOKKEEPING to 122 704 B -- past the 120 000-byte limit
itself -- which would falsify the breaking point published in the tracked
`skills/okf-consume/SKILL.md` on the day it shipped.
Defaults measured, not asserted: six payload digests built from a frozen
`ff79cfa` (`git archive`, `__file__` checked) and from this tree with both
flags omitted are 6 of 6 identical, and `okf_skill.py` output is identical
apart from the paths each copy writes about itself. Contract checker exit 0 on
eight payloads, both values.
One known-positive did not reproduce and is reported rather than matched: the
order's S7 literal `2ae46f68`/169 573 B is stale by three excerpt-form commits;
HEAD measures `c759a657`/171 614 B.
