Every stage of validate_proposal reasoned only about numbers the proposal itself
supplied, so an internally-consistent hallucination cleared the whole gate (F3).
A new stage 0 reconciles each affected_item against the project's CostBaseline
before the CBC solve: an unknown cost code is rejected, and a real code carrying
a quantity/unit_cost outside the configured tolerance (5% default, relative to
the baseline value) is rejected. Validation, never repair.
The baseline argument is OPTIONAL (None = pre-S4.0 behaviour), but both run
paths set it: the road path projects project.cost_items, the bundle path loads
cost-baseline.json when the bundle ships one. Bundles written before the
amendment stay un-anchored, so the commons-owned goldens run byte-identically;
a baseline that exists but is malformed still raises on both loaders.
F8: the method-specific cap now comes from the METHOD_CAPS registry (measure
type -> fraction, injectable) instead of an energy_efficiency string comparison.
The baseline format and tolerance semantics were decided locally — the commons
amendment (D-A pt. 2) never arrived, exactly as in S3.2. D7 mirroring stays open.
Three portfolio fixtures quoted cost codes belonging to OTHER projects; the new
gate caught them. They now quote each project's own lines, and the two copied
REPLIES tables import the single source instead of drifting from it.
Load-bearing measured (tests/test_s40_cost_baseline_loadbearing.py), six
mutations all red: detach the reconciliation stage; detach the magnitude
tolerance; detach the road wiring; detach the bundle wiring; ignore the injected
cap registry; make the optional loader tolerant of malformed content. Control:
with the road wiring detached the repaired portfolio fixtures still pass, so
they are not masking the seam. 597 -> 612 tests.

seed_store_from_bundle keyed EVERY `type: verdict` file on bundle_candidate_features — the single
candidate the bundle's validator-input.json describes. A bundle carrying verdicts about several
candidates collapsed them onto one key, so a verdict about candidate B scored a perfect structural
match against candidate A's query and could be folded into A's hypothesis prompt. The ExpeL
substrate was single-candidate by construction.
A verdict file may now carry its own structural key in frontmatter (affected_codes / measure_type /
claimed_saving_nok); absent, keying falls back to the bundle candidate, so every pre-S3.2 seed keeps
working unchanged. promote_verdict writes the three fields, so a promoted verdict — frequently about
a different candidate than the target bundle's projection — does not impersonate that candidate.
Semantics decided HERE, not pulled: commons' seeding rule (method-spec §3 Steg 1 + bundle example)
has not arrived; we said we would build locally first. D7 mirroring stays open.
- ALL THREE fields or none. A partial declaration raises VerdictFrontmatterError rather than merging
with the bundle candidate, which would mint a key belonging to NEITHER candidate. Validation,
never repair (mirrors write_concept_file); the tolerant-skip rule belongs to the RAW inbox layer.
- claimed_saving_nok parses via json.loads — the SAME literal rule the IR projection went through —
and is written back with str() of the raw value. _mint_id hashes that value, so 30000 and 30000.0
are different keys; a normalising writer would split one candidate's signal across two ids.
- The structural key is signal-free, so it does not weaken the Step-8 no-leak property (Test C green).
Load-bearing MEASURED, five mutations all red: detach per-verdict keying · detach the fields
promote_verdict writes · make a partial/unparseable key tolerant · normalise the magnitude on write ·
remove the fallback (control — breaks the step1 suite at collection, proving the fallback bears load).
589 -> 597 tests. Full gate green (pytest, ruff, mypy).

Completes Fase 0 (skeleton & decision-lock):
- reference_domain.py + data/reference_projects.json: a synthetic
"anleggskostnad" portfolio (3 fictional construction-cost projects with
cost line items) as the framework's bundled reference input. Plain typed
loader (frozen dataclasses); the JSON-Schema data-source *contract* (B5)
is deliberately deferred to Fase 2.
- backends.py: Profile (azure|local) + ChatBackend Protocol seam +
AzureFoundryBackend/LocalBackend stubs + get_backend() selector
(fail-fast on unknown profile). Empty skeleton per D2 — create_chat_client
raises NotImplementedError until live wiring in Fase 1. Return type is the
MAF BaseChatClient (the common base of FoundryChatClient/OpenAIChatClient).
Quality gate green: ruff format + check, mypy (src) clean, 12 pytest passed.
