Kjell Tore Guttormsen bf87776bb3 feat(portfolio): stamp the producing SDK build in provenance (wiki-advisory F1) [skip-docs]
The advisory finding: provenance.py/artifacts.py stamped no SDK version, while
the SDK's total_cost_usd is a client-side ESTIMATE computed against a price
table frozen when the SDK was built. An untraceable estimate is a figure nobody
can check later, so the run now records which build produced it.

Provenance gains sdk_version: str | None. The value comes from the PRODUCING
CLIENT — getattr(client, "sdk_version", None) — exactly as model and cost_usd
already do, never from importlib.metadata at stamp time. That distinction is
the seam: a run driven by the scripted stand-in used no SDK at all, and
stamping the installed version there would attribute a build to a run that
never touched it (§1). SdkModelClient reads the installed build once from
package metadata (offline: no key, no network); every other client reports
null. A blank string is refused by the schema — null is the one way to say
"not produced by the SDK".

Scope note: this traceability covers OUR run cost only. The savings the
framework recommends are settled by the deterministic validator against the
golden suite, and no SDK estimate touches them.

Two seams, both detach-proven RED:
- make the stamp read importlib.metadata instead of the client → a scripted run
  claims a build it never used → red
- back-fill runs/s10/provenance.json → red

That second guard is the point of the change as much as the first. runs/s10/ is
the byte-frozen record of the ONE live run (2026-07-03), executed before this
field existed; the suite reads it nowhere else, so nothing would have caught a
retro-stamp. Adding a build id to it now would be a guess presented as
provenance. It stays without one, and the README says why.

run_s10.py is deliberately untouched (byte-frozen fasit script), and the field
defaults to None, so every existing caller and artifact shape is unchanged.

603 passed · ruff clean · mypy strict clean · runs/s10/ byte-identical.

[Unreleased]

Added

The method, implemented (D7). Sibling implementation of the portfolio-optimiser method on the Claude Agent SDK, built from the shared frozen spec + golden suite alone — never by reverse-engineering the MAF sibling.

  • Deterministic backbone — the typed cost-IR, the mandatory blocking validator (frozen by the shared golden suite, its only oracle), first-class provenance, and fail-fast startup contracts including the role → model map.
  • Agentic loop — bounded generation, makerchecker debate, the validator gate, and informed refinement; the budget meter admits no unbounded loop anywhere, and carries an optional pre-call run-total USD belt on top of the post-charge token/round caps.
  • Learning loop — the OKF context seam (navigation, never chunk-stuffing), the ExpeL-style experience fold, the async expert-verdict inbox, and the fail-closed promotion gate.
  • Ingest layer — deterministic CSV (file) and SQLite (sql) connectors in front of the loop, materializing OKF bundles the unchanged loop consumes; frozen by byte-identical golden extractions. http/MCP is an extension point this repo does not build, and a manifest naming it is rejected fail-fast.
  • Value layer — the fail-closed savings ledger (dimension-free sum, no double-counting), the hard/soft goal contract, the outbox output layer, the HITL pending/routing view, the pre-run cost simulation over schema-validated pricing config, the SDK/API preflight, opt-in notification sinks (webhook egress only behind an explicit per-run flag), and the per-run value report (modelled → expert-corrected → realized, goal progress, quantified learning effect, cost against value).
  • Operator CLI — one collecting entrance (run.py) for a single project (--bundle) or a portfolio (--portfolio, --verdict-dir), with --goals + --ledger stopping a run before any model call when the target is already met, and --value-report projecting what the run delivered. Standalone entrances for valuereport, hitl, costsim and preflight. Every flag the README documents is checked against the actual --help output by a load-bearing test.
  • Knowledge-base recipe — the documented team process for building the OKF bundles the framework reads (docs/oppskrift-kunnskapsbase.md), with an honest 12 week expectation.
  • Traceable run cost — the provenance stamp records which SDK build produced the run, read from the producing client rather than the environment, so the SDK's cost estimate can be traced to the price table that computed it. A run not produced by the SDK reports null instead of borrowing the installed version.
  • The programme's one live model run (S10) — executed and validated at a documented $0.127514, its four artifacts committed as fixed reference output under runs/s10/. That record is never edited after the fact: it predates the sdk_version field and is left without one rather than back-filled with a guess.
  • Load-bearing tests — every seam is proven by a test that goes red when the seam is detached; the whole suite runs offline, with no API key and no network.

Notes

  • Honesty rule (method spec §1): no artifact in this repo claims more than the implementation does. Scripted stand-ins are labelled as such, unbuilt extension points are named as unbuilt, and a figure the data does not carry is reported unmarked rather than back-filled.
