Measured 2026-09-20 on a 2313-concept bundle of one project's own
documentation: `withheld` held 2 305 entries = 186 440 B of compact JSON =
**65.5 % of the 284 850-byte payload**, and not one of those bytes counted
against the budget the same payload reports (`spent` was 45 192). A reader was
handed 239 658 bytes the budget line did not know about, to learn 2 305 concept
ids with nothing beside them -- the title being exactly what `--withheld-titles`
existed to buy, and which was off because buying it for 2 305 entries cost
another 37.9 %.
`withheld` is now a mapping: `total` (equal to `denominators.withheld`, so
SS 5.2's identity is unmoved and closes on the NUMBERS), `by_rule` (the same
total decomposed over the closed rule set, so "what kind of drop" is answerable
without the list), `nearest` (the best-ranked drops BY NAME, with title and
source document, so a reader who sees a near miss can ask for it) and
`complete`. The near misses are read off the ranking, not off `cut`'s output:
`cut` sorts by id so the partition is comparable, and that order says nothing
about which concept a reader might want next.
Same question, same bundle, after: **52 421 bytes, 18.4 % of the old file**.
The whole list stays reachable behind `--withheld-full`, and the two
instruments that classify EVERY miss by its rule -- the retrieval gate and
`okf_consume_measure` -- now ask for it explicitly and assert `complete`
rather than assuming it. `--withheld-nearest N` sets the cap (default 20,
which is `k` plus the next twelve). `--withheld-titles` is retired: a flag
whose only remaining effect would be to STRIP the title from a list the caller
asked for in full names no decision worth two shapes for one list.
`CONTRACT_REVISION` moves to `okf-consumption/2`, because a consumer indexing
the old key as a list would otherwise break silently. Three checker rules move
with it, and one of them is the interesting case: `parent_unfollowable` used
`excerpts` + `withheld` as the bundle's own denominator, which a truncated
block is not -- so that clause now runs only where the payload SAYS it is
complete, stated in SS 8.6 rather than left as a silence, with the other two
clauses (shape, self-reference) running either way. `Report` carries both
denominators, because a report claiming it examined 2 305 entries it never saw
is the same defect one level up.
The generated skill's "breaking point" section goes with it: it extrapolated a
concept count from the cost of ONE withheld entry, and there is no such slope
any more. It now states what this bundle's bookkeeping cost and that the block
is bounded by the cap rather than by the bundle -- an extrapolation from a
slope the code no longer has would be a measurement of the previous revision.

`uv sync --frozen` resolved ruff 0.15.22 and the tree read clean. A loose
install resolves 0.16.6, under which the SAME untouched code reports 148
findings -- 4 more than round 9 counted, because this round added four files.
All of them are new rules rather than new defects: 0.16 widened the default
rule set to whole families (YTT, ASYNC, PL, ISC, C4, UP, B, SIM, FURB, ...).
(`[skip-docs]` is for CLAUDE.md, which a lint-configuration change does not
reach. README's developer section IS updated in this commit.)
THE DEFECT IS NOT THE 148, IT IS THAT NOBODY CHOSE THEM. `[tool.ruff]` set only
`line-length` and `target-version`, so the acceptance was ruff's default, and
the tree stayed green only as long as the lockfile froze an old ruff. `select`
is now written down: `E4`, `E7`, `E9`, `F` (the historical default), `I`
because this tree already keeps imports sorted, and `RUF100` so a `noqa` that
has stopped meaning anything is caught rather than left as decoration. Pin
`ruff>=0.9` -> `ruff>=0.16.6,<0.17`.
Per rule, before -> after: RUF100 50 -> 0, I001 20 -> 0, ISC004 19, PLW1510 8,
C408 8, EXE001 6, RUF007 5, PLE2515 4, UP031 3, B017 3, and fourteen more with
2 or fewer -- the families out of the declared set are 0 by selection, and 148
is the number to start from if they are adopted, which is a separate decision
and not one to take inside a version-pin commit. 57 were auto-fixed; one E402
was reintroduced by the import-sorting fix merging a block away from its
`noqa`, and got the directive back rather than a bare one.
`S` IS MEASURED OUT, NOT ASSUMED OUT: it reports 2657 `S101` on a suite whose
every assertion is an `assert`, and `S603` flags 19 subprocess calls of which
one was ever marked -- selecting it buys 18 suppressions and no defect. Two
`noqa` directives naming non-selected rules were dropped with that reason
recorded in the configuration instead.
THE TWO FILES 0.16 WOULD REFORMAT ARE MARKDOWN, NOT PYTHON: `README.md` and
`docs/2026-09-08-blindsone-below-k-k2.md`. 0.16 formats fenced Python inside
markdown, and both blocks are RECORDS -- the second is a quotation of
`COST_VOCABULARY` as it stood when that measurement was taken. Reformatting a
quotation makes it stop being one, so markdown is excluded from the formatter
and `ruff format --check .` stays in the acceptance over `.py`.
`tools/okf_consume_measure.py` is fenced by the order as run-not-edited, so its
three findings are exempted by path with the reason and the debt named, and its
bytes are untouched.
THE LOCKFILE TRAP IS CLOSED, NOT AVOIDED. `uv.lock` predated the `[ocr]` extra,
so any unlocked resolve wrote that extra's transitive tree back into it -- 681
insertions over 4 deletions, twice now, and round 9 recorded the cause as
`uv run` OUTSIDE the project when it is `uv run` without `--frozen` INSIDE it.
The relock is complete for every declared extra (703 insertions, 26 deletions),
and measured after it, an unfrozen `uv run` leaves the file alone.
`ruff check src tests tools`, `ruff format --check .` (0.16.6), `mypy src` over
21 files and 1535 tests, all green.

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.
Suite 1486 (1478 before), ruff and mypy --strict clean over 21 files.

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.
Suite 1388 -> 1397. Report: docs/2026-09-08-rangeringsbom-sammensatte-ord.md
