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.

Two changes, one theme: what a reader needs in order to cite is a property of
the PRODUCER, so neither the excerpt nor the skill may hard-code a list of the
producers someone thought of.
The pass-through rule is now the `source_` PREFIX, not the five keys this
library writes. Measured on the N500 bundle currently on disk: 269 of 274
concepts carry `source_element_id`, a locator that repository chose under this
chain's own rule ("the key says what it indexes") and that this library never
writes. The allowlist dropped it, and an excerpt that names a document without
naming the place in it is the defect this work exists to close. A prefix and
never a substring - `resource_owner` contains the literal and is not a locator,
and promoting it would be fabricated provenance produced by a matching bug. The
known-negative is tested: `bundle_id`, `type` and `ingested_at` do not travel.
Contract 8.5 states the rule as a prefix rather than a list.
K2 control, re-measured against the frozen tool at b6a8c8b, same question and
same k: the RANKING is untouched - same 8 ids in the same order, identical
`text_sha256`, identical `withheld`, denominators 629 = 621 + 8. The FIELD moved:
payload 108 877 -> 113 143 B (+3.92 %), spent 18 606 -> 22 210 (+450.5 B per
excerpt), excerpt members 9 -> 17, 99 changed lines. Known-positive follows the
contract document's bytes again: 12 049 -> 12 563 measured, 11 719 -> 12 227
raw, delta 330 -> 336.
`tools/okf_skill.py` instantiates the template for one bundle: id, ref, concept
count, the conditional-field table with a denominator per field (the `source_*`
rows DISCOVERED from the bundle, not listed), the whole-bundle cost by the gate's
own instrument, the share one measured answer spent, the concept count at which
the withheld bookkeeping alone reaches the limit, and the index-walk-against-
directory control - run once at generation time, never on the question path.
The form was chosen on a measurement that came out against the obvious gate:
the contract checker passes the UNFILLED template against a real payload, and
passes a skill built for a different bundle against this one's. It cannot tell
the two forms apart, so conformance could not decide it. What decides it is that
5's denominators, 6.4's conditional fields and 7.6's breaking point are
per-bundle numbers - a generic skill either leaves them as holes (the template's
own definition of unfinished) or states another corpus's numbers, which is worse
than a gap. Every gate the checker lacks is therefore a test here: no placeholder
survives, the skill names its own bundle's id and ref and not another's, its
commands are absolute and point at files that exist, and it refuses a directory
with no index (exit 1, `bundle_unreadable`), an index with no `bundle_id`
(`bundle_id_missing`), an empty bundle, and an occupied target without --force.
It lives in `tools/` for the reason `okf_consume.py` and `okf_contract_check.py`
state for themselves - outside `src/`, so no consumer's install surface changes -
and because a wheel-installed `okf skill` would emit a command pointing at
`tools/okf_consume.py`, which the wheel does not contain.

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.

A question naming a requirement number now delivers that requirement at rank 1
on all three vegnormal bundles (was 96, 9, 35 of 446, 1 133, 270). Two
mechanisms, both measured, both default because no published figure moves.
The matcher: `tokens_match` compared four leading characters, so the unique
identifier `3.3.1-13` read as 135 of 446 common and the rarity weight ranked a
common adjective above the number naming the document. An identifier now
matches by equality alone; df falls to 1/1/1. Words keep the prefix rule, which
was measured for Norwegian compounds. Equality has no floor either, so a
three-character identifier stops matching nothing at all -- measured, `9.2`
reached 0 concepts while sitting verbatim in one title.
The lookup: a question carrying an identifier that sits verbatim in a concept's
title or id is answered by a partition over the fusion's output, not by a
fourth signal. The form was chosen by measurement -- a fourth RRF signal was
simulated first and put the gold at rank 26 / 15 / 19, none of them delivered,
because RRF consumes ranks only and one signal contributes at most 1/(RRF_K+1).
No frontmatter key list is declared: of 1 846 concepts carrying `req_number`,
1 846 also carry that identifier in the title.
The matcher alone is NOT a monotone win (N200 9 -> 26, because that gold's body
cross-references a neighbouring number that the prefix rule counted as a hit on
the question's). Only the partition delivers; the table is in the record.
Consumer corpus: every named control byte-identical against a frozen
`git archive` copy of 116d3e1 -- four payload digests, eight candidate ranks,
six hit@8 rows, both known-negatives. One document that was withheld at
position 621 of 621 is now delivered at rank 1, on a corpus with no
requirement-number grammar at all.
13 tests (12 red before the rules existed), 7 mutations, 7 red. 1 320 passed.
Consumption-side only; no bundle ref moves.

O2b asked whether a requirement number can be made worth more than a common
word by weighting each hit with the token's rarity in the bundle, with no
hand-set constant and no declared token class. It can, on one of the three
bundles, and the two it cannot are decomposed rather than guessed.
The rule is log(N/df) over the concepts' own tokens, counted with the same
four-character prefix rule a hit is scored with. It enters the RANKING and
never the GATE: `lexical` stays a count, because `krav` weighs exactly 0 on
all three bundles and a weighted gate would drop every concept matching only
that word -- which is the gate 54a0bc2 falsified for other reasons. One df
table per bundle reaches every stage that scores the question against text,
including the document prior. One pass, 0.241 s over 1 133 concepts.
Measured on four corpora, before and after, with every published figure
reproduced first: gold fused rank 96 -> 103, 9 -> 8 (withheld -> DELIVERED at
rank 8) and 35 -> 35; K2's priced sheet candidate rank 10 -> 2 with the cost
vocabulary and 251 -> 78 without; Q-good unmoved at rank 1; hit@8 5 of 6 with
every rank identical; the S7 control payload byte-identical on the default
command.
DEFAULT OFF, decided by the number and not by taste: it does not win on all
four, because N100's gold loses seven rank positions. Off means the bytes that
were already published, and that is measured -- 8 of 8 payload digests
identical against a frozen copy of 56c1205 built with git archive.
Two limits, both someone else's mechanism and both named: MIN_SHARED_PREFIX=4
makes a unique identifier read as 135-of-446 common on N100, so the weight
correctly ranks a common adjective above the exact requirement number; and RRF
consumes RANKS only, so on N500 -- where the gold already leads the one signal
that can see the identifier, and the other two cannot see it at all -- no
weighting inside a signal can move anything.
Consumption-side only, so no rebuild: the K2 bundle ref 2f82fcfe... stands.
Report: docs/2026-09-08-sjeldenhetsvekt.md. 13 new tests, red first; 8
mutations, 8 red, two of them only after the survivors were read as code -- one

Two consumer-reported defects, one rebuild.
The pre-pass could not see a requirement number: `_TOKEN_SPLIT_RE` split
`10.2-2` into digit runs and `MIN_TOKEN_LENGTH` removed them, so a question
naming a requirement reached the ranker carrying only the word every concept
in a standards bundle carries. Measured on three real bundles (446, 1133 and
270 concepts), the named requirement was withheld `below_k` in three of three.
Numeric groups joined by `.` or `-` are now held together, dash variants fold
to the ASCII hyphen, and the noise floor is unchanged. The gold moves from
160 to 96, 143 to 9 and 100 to 35 -- a large move, and NOT a delivery: it is
still `below_k`, because `_overlap` is a count and an exact requirement number
is worth no more than a common verb. That weighting is a separate decision.
The rule was narrowed by a measurement: a version that joined alphanumeric
groups swallowed a document slug whole and cost a hit@8 row. An equality-only
variant was measured on all three bundles and falsified -- better on one,
worse on two.
The orphan gate destroyed a heading's name: a table opening directly below a
heading left that heading with an empty body, the orphan check dropped it, and
the surviving table block kept the mechanical `Tabell linje <n>`. A table that
orphans its heading now takes that heading's title and section number.
Conditioned on the drop, on adjacency, and carrying both members -- each of
the three measured or mutation-tested.
One K2 rebuild for both, from a frozen source tree: 629 concepts, `39 + 4 = 43
= N`, 2 of 629 ids moved and both moved BACK to the names the 2026-09-03
bundle carried, 1106 of 1108 files identical to it. New ref

-- c26eed6a... is superseded. The regression the previous session measured is
closed: candidate rank 19 -> 10, and the delivering command is now
`--cost-vocabulary --k 12` inside the default budget at 58 907 o200k against
65 912 before. The specific question is unmoved at rank 1.
The tokeniser alone leaves the K2 control question byte-identical, measured
with the bundle held fixed and both published byte counts reproduced.

Two producer-side findings from the consumer's S7c acid test (ordre 20260908T063454Z-3648220855-from-.claude), both measured on K2 before and after, both with the corpus rebuilt from scratch.
FUNN 3 -- THE FORM. The converter's default markdown writer emits simple tables, which pad every cell out to the width of the widest cell in its column. Measured on the tender's price sheet: one 594-character prose cell produced a 67 244-character whitespace carpet with runs of up to 887 characters between a label and its amount, 19 integral amounts carrying a converter `.0`, and a header row naming one column. The bytes reached a live model in 2 of 11 prompts and 0 of 11 answers. The spreadsheet row now writes pipe tables with `--columns=1` (load-bearing: the pipe writer pads to a width computed from it, so at the default 72 a narrow table gains runs of up to 45). Same sheet after: 11 048 characters, longest run 2, one row per line, 0 artificial `.0`. Spreadsheet-only, and the scoping is pinned by three digests -- the same change moves the odt fixture 1366 -> 1105, so it can fail.
The `.0` rewrite is bounded twice: to a cell whose whole content is such a number, anchored between unescaped pipes, and skipped when the literal is in the workbook's shared string table -- the converter renders the number 92 and the TEXT "92.0" identically, so the output alone cannot tell them apart. Read with zipfile and xml.etree; no new dependency.
FUNN 2 -- THE LOG LINK. `link_log_in_root_index` (95eb271) is removed. Consumption contract SS 9.2 forbids a consumer from enumerating the bundle directory unless the profile says the index is derived, so the index tree is the entire map a consumer may use and everything it links is a document: their navigator returned 630 where our pre-pass counts 629, and a corpus run's own log was citable as content. The log is still written to the bundle root (SPEC section 9); `tools/okf_consume.py` keeps its exclusion for the bundles already built with the link.
K2 rebuilt twice. BEFORE reproduces the consumer's ref exactly (`sha256-tree:f14872a0...c8a92a`, 629 concepts) and their three consume figures to the token (57 289 / 62 149 / 58 401). AFTER: 629 concepts, `merged + coded rejections = 43 = N`, new ref `sha256-tree:c26eed6a...e3261f`, 627 of 629 concepts byte-identical, 1104 of 1108 files identical to the delivered bundle.
ONE REGRESSION, MEASURED AND NOT FIXED: on the mandate-shaped question with the vocabulary bridge the priced concept moves from candidate rank 10 to 19, so `--k 12` withholds it `below_k`; `--cost-vocabulary --k 20` delivers it at 65 912 o200k. The cause is measured rather than argued -- restoring only the concept's title on the new short body ranks it 10 again. The chain ends at the orphan check (`propose.py:461`), which drops the sheet heading once a table block opens two lines below it. That is the already-reported orphan gate, and changing it is a default-ON segmentation rule affecting every document type. The specific question is unaffected: rank 1 before and after. The priced excerpt's budget share falls from 56.5 % to 9.7 %.
11 new tests (RED first), 8 mutations, 8 red, with an unmutated control green each time. One mutation survived twice before the fixture could make it fire, and both survivals are written down. 1279 -> 1287 tests. mypy --strict clean on 28 files. ruff clean. Both proposer goldens byte-unchanged. One frozen literal moved with the fix and is reported rather than hidden.

The prior measurement (docs/2026-09-08-blindsone-below-k-k2.md SS 3) found that
the budget, not the ranking, is the second lock on a mandate-shaped cost
question -- and that the same mechanism was a REGRESSION on the question that
works: raising `--k` to 16 evicted the gold concept, because the exact knapsack
maximises a SUM of fused scores and has no opinion about rank, so twenty small
excerpts out-value one that costs 56.5 % of the budget.
Measured here on the same 629-concept bundle, with the three known-positive
figures from `4c699fd` reproduced first:
- Corpus distribution, denominator 629: median excerpt 857 B, max 223 391 B,
3 concepts over the limit alone.
- Candidate rule (b), a corpus-derived budget, is FALSIFIED by two numbers: two
defensible derivations are 49x apart on the same corpus, the small one turns
the gold concept into `over_budget_alone` (13 refusals against 2), the large
one changes nothing at the default k. A budget is the consumer's constraint,
not a property of the corpus; `--limit` already belongs to the caller.
- Built instead, behind `--reserve-top-rank` (default OFF): the top-ranked
candidate gets its bytes before the pack runs, AFTER the `over_budget_alone`
pre-exclusion and never before, and the payload declares `budget.reserved`.
- It fixes the eviction: k=16 and k=24 deliver the gold concept at rank 1,
costing one and two excerpts, and 20.4 % / 27.3 % FEWER o200k tokens.
- It changes the delivered list in 2 of 24 measured combinations -- both of them
that eviction. In the other 22 the list, its order and `spent` are identical.
- It does NOT close the mandate-shaped blind spot: that concept ranks 10, not 1.
The one delivering command is `--cost-vocabulary --k 12 --limit 160000`
(62 149 tokens against 58 401), and that is a consumer's decision.
11 new tests (RED first), 7 mutations 7 red with an unmutated negative control
green before and after; two of the seven survived the first test set and the

The consumer report (portfolio-optimiser, S7 SS 2) found that a mandate-shaped
cost question withheld the corpus's one priced table under `below_k`. Measured
here, on a bundle proven byte-identical to a fresh HEAD rebuild:
- The mechanism is a VOCABULARY gap, not a `k` defect: two of three ranking
signals are exactly 0.0 and the concept is candidate 249 of 269.
- The k-sweep buys nothing: k in {8,12,16,24,32,64,128} all withhold it, at
+9.5 % tokens. It also found a regression -- for the question that WORKS,
k >= 16 EVICTS the gold concept, because one 67 838 B excerpt is 56.5 % of
the budget and the knapsack maximises a sum.
- Two proposed rules were falsified BEFORE any code: number/table density ranks
the priced table 178/165/46 of 269 (the form is unfilled, so it is
number-poor), and per-document spread puts its document 30th of 35.
Built instead, behind `--cost-vocabulary` (default OFF, DEFAULT byte-identical):
one declared cost/price/quantity vocabulary family that bridges a question and a
document naming money with different words. It moves the concept from candidate
rank 249 to 10 -- and does NOT close the blind spot: the budget still refuses
it, which is now a separately measured second lock.
Seven RED tests first; six mutations of the rule, six red (two survived the
first version of the tests and the tests were strengthened). Control: a question
with no cost term produces a byte-identical payload with the flag on, at every
k, on the real corpus. Known-positive: 164 987 B / 40 425 o200k tokens, equal to
the published pair.

Two producer-side defects from the S7 acid test (ordre 20260907T234741Z-9578626297-from-.claude), both reproduced on K2 before and after.
F1: `okf build --ingested-at` alone stamped only 11/629 concepts -- the unsegmented ones, which read the call's value directly. The 618 segmented concepts read `segment.ingested_at`, the plan's `proposed_at`, independently defaulted to `DEFAULT_STAMP`. `proposed_at` now falls back to `ingested_at` when omitted; neither flag passed still yields `DEFAULT_STAMP` for both.
F2: the consumption pre-pass's index walk counted a root-linked `log.md` (`corpus.link_log_in_root_index`, `95eb271`) as a concept, inflating a 629-concept K2 rebuild to 630 and letting the log rank and cut like real content. The link stays -- the contract is silent on `log.md` and `95eb271` already named it a LOCAL choice -- but the walk now treats `LOG_NAME` like the index itself: reachable, never a concept.
K2 rebuilt twice from the same corpus and diffed against the delivered `K2-bundle-20260903`: FOR (stashed fix, matching fbaac6d) reproduces po's numbers exactly -- 619/1108 files differ, 618 ingested_at-only, ref `sha256-tree:4ffd750c...`. ETTER (fix applied) leaves exactly 1 line differing (the deliberate log link, predating this fix) -- 0 files stamped 1970, 629/629 stamped 2026-09-03, ref `sha256-tree:f14872a0...`. The delivered bundle's ref is unchanged before and after (`sha256-tree:9a4e5561...a968b5`), since it carries no log link and the new branch never fires. Conservation identity holds both times: merged + coded rejections = 43 = N, 39/0/4.

hit@8 = 5 of 6, every hit at rank 1, against a chance baseline of 1.35 of 6
over a denominator of 629 concepts per question. Wall time 0.51-0.56 s per
question; spent 17 970 - 74 838 bytes against a 120 000 limit.
Two things this measurement did NOT establish, both in the report:
- BOTH known-negative controls FAILED. A question the bundle has no answer to
still returns eight excerpts, because no natural Norwegian question is
lexically disjoint from a 629-concept corpus under a four-character
shared-prefix rule -- measured per token, the interrogative `hvor` reaches 40
concepts, `brukes` 83. So `no_lexical_match` works per concept and not as a
whole-question gate: an empty excerpt list is evidence of absence, a full one
is not evidence of presence. The fix is named (rarity weighting) and NOT
built, because this step's fence freezes the instrument before it is measured.
- The question texts were written during execution, after the ranker existed.
The plan recorded the gold documents' SIZE profile -- its per-row baselines
sum to 1.35 and the sizes used here reproduce that exactly, which is an
independent check that this is the set the plan profiled -- but it recorded no
question texts, and three of six gold documents could not be pinned uniquely
from the sizes. Not a blind evaluation, and the report says so.
The scorer is a tool, not a script in a document: `tools/okf_consume_measure.py`
takes the gold set as an INPUT because it is tracked in a public repository and
an answer key names a consumer's documents. hit_rank, both chance baselines and
the document-size census are unit-tested; the corpus run is a measurement.
Public-file rule, checked with a pattern DERIVED from the corpus's own 39
document names rather than hand-picked, and shown able to find first (67 hits on
the bundle's own index): zero corpus document names in any tracked file in this
repository. One leak was found and removed on the way -- a corpus concept name
in a code comment and a hardcoded corpus path in a test.

Two corrections the plan did not carry, both found by running the instrument:
- A question matching nothing still returned the top eight by tie-break -- a
confident guess wearing a denominator. The closed rule set gains
no_lexical_match, so the known-negative returns a measured empty set with
every considered concept named in withheld.
- The stage-one document prior summed overlap across a document's units, so it
measured document SIZE. Measured on K2 for the price question: the
competition document sums to 6.0 over 79 concepts (0.076 each), the price
document to 2.0 over 1. The prior is now a density; the price-form gold moves
from outside the top eight to rank 1. Found with that answer visible, which
the measurement document states beside the number.
