Three tangled defects, fixed together because each one hid the others.
DefaultActMatcher matched an exact English prefix and internal/tool.Matcher
delegated straight to it, so no Russian utterance could reach a tool: 55 of the
69 lines in models/seeds/act.txt routed to IntentAct and fell to proposeGap.
Tools now carry spoken aliases from deploy/mavend.json, matched as exact leading
tokens, longest phrase first. Config data, not a stem pattern in code. The
comment claiming "the production matcher is fuzzy" was false and is gone.
Seven lines were exact duplicates inside models/seeds/query.txt, each one a
second identical vector double-weighting its region.
"как дела у сервера" carried both a query and a system label. It leaves
system.txt, because replySystem's stats arm answers "системная статистика пока
не подключена." and always did. The mode inventory records that shape as
act.tool.hoststats rather than a system mode.
Fixture unchanged at 69/91, and it cannot see any of this: no host-stat case and
no Russian act in it. TestActMatcherAliases is the coverage.
docs/evals/2026-08-06-russian-acts-reach-tools.md has the numbers.

The classifier learns models/seeds and the router is prompted with
routeSystem, and they held different definitions on 80 lines. Sensor and
host state was system in the seeds and is query in the prompt, which is the
V-374 edit the seeds never received. World questions were chat, written
before external search could answer them.
64/91 to 66/91 on the fixture. en-sys-002 and ru-query-011 gain, nothing
regresses, clarify counts unchanged.
The third disagreement is measured and rejected. Dropping the eight bare
reminder verbs scores 65, because a centroid is a shape to be near and the
bare verb phrase is part of that shape. A seed file and a prompt have
different jobs there.
7ab9b48 committed models/stt and models/tts as symlinks to their own
absolute paths:
models/stt -> /home/kami/apps/Maven/models/stt
They came from an agent worktree under scratchpad/wt, where a link back
to the main checkout resolves. In the main checkout it points at itself.
Both paths are gitignored, so checking out that commit overwrites the
real model directories without warning and git says nothing. On homesrv
it destroyed models/stt/ggml-small.bin and the piper voice, and mavsttd
crash-looped on the missing whisper model.
The directories are host state fetched separately, per deploy/README.md.
Nothing under models/stt or models/tts belongs in git.

Three ways the cold-start path could lose the database.
A box enrolled before the PRF change could never cold-start again. UnwrapKey
still read v1 blobs, but the only caller stopped supplying the v1 secret: the
assertion handler sends the PRF output and nothing looks up the credential
public key any more. On such a box the daemon read the blob, took the v1
branch, failed to decrypt, and stayed locked while a valid passkey was
asserted at it. The escape hatch was gone too, because WrapKeyFn was wired
only in env-key mode and a locked boot is by definition the mode with no env
key. The recovery was to put MAVEN_DB_KEY back in the environment, which is
the thing cold-start unlock exists to avoid. AssertFinish now retries a failed
PRF unwrap with the credential public key, and WrapKeyFn is wired in locked
mode too, so the box that came up on a v1 blob can be moved to v2.
Wrapping ran on every successful assertion. That made a routine step-up
rewrite the one file that opens the database, under whatever 32 bytes the page
posted. A compromised /auth/webauthn converted one legitimate touch into
permanent offline recovery of the at-rest key, and a second enrolled
authenticator silently locked out the first. Wrapping is now an act of its
own: a plain assertion may write the blob only when none exists, and replacing
one takes the rewrite button, which is the only caller that sets the new
explicit flag. The daemon still refuses to overwrite a v2 blob that does not
open under the presented secret.
The write was os.WriteFile, which truncates in place. A power cut between the
truncate and the write left a zero-length blob and no previous contents, on
the path of every step-up. It is now a temp file in the same directory, fsync,
rename, fsync of the directory.
Two smaller things on the same path. The v2 unwrap checked the secret length
but not the all-zero case the wrap side rejects, so the two ends disagreed
about what a valid secret is. And the handler logged "daemon unlocked via
credential" when an env-key daemon had answered unknown method, and again when
an already-unlocked daemon had done nothing.
Left alone deliberately: the PRF value is client-supplied and not covered by
the assertion signature. That is inherent to PRF key wrapping, since the salt
has to be fixed for the blob to open on the next boot. It is recorded as a
known property where the secret enters the handler.
Found in review of #77.
five fixes spotted during routing investigation:
- gitignore: replace blanket models/ ignore with per-dir exceptions
(/models/embedder/, /models/stt/, /models/tts/) so the seed text
files under models/seeds/ are tracked in version control
- query.txt: fix merged line — 'сколько стоит свет в этом месяце' and
'найди заметку про сервер' were fused with no separator
- reminder.txt: add 11 pure-verb reminder seeds without time expressions
to shift centroid toward the reminding intent rather than time-lexicon
- StubDateTimeParser: add Russian 'через <N> <unit>'/'через час'/'через
полчаса', 'сегодня'/'завтра'/'послезавтра' with optional clock, and
'в <clock>' scan. Add Russian word numbers (один-десять) and unit
inflections (час/часа/часов, минута/минуты/минут, день/дня/дней,
неделя/недели/недель). Also adds missing English day/week units.
- replySystem: guard time branch against duration queries ('сколько
времени прошло') reaching it via the classifier path after the
stage-0 grammar's build filter rejects them. Mirrors stage0.go
duration keywords.
three bugs causing time queries to land on reminder or fact intent:
- seed collision: query.txt and system.txt shared identical time/date
seeds (который час, сколько времени), making system intent
indistinguishable from query intent in centroid space
- threshold (0.35) too low for ONNX embedder — cosine similarities
cluster 0.5-0.7 for related intents, so Clarify never fired
- reminder centroid contaminated by time-lexicon (every seed has a time
expression), pulling any time-word utterance toward reminder intent
fixes:
- remove 3 duplicate time/date seeds from query.txt (keep in system.txt)
- DefaultRouterThreshold 0.35 -> 0.55
- stage-0 grammar for напомни/remind me -> IntentReminder, bypasses
classifier (fixes 'напомни через час' being misrouted to fact)
- stage-0 grammars for time/date system queries (сколько времени,
который час, какой сегодня день) -> IntentSystem, with Build filter
to exclude elapsed/duration queries (сколько времени прошло)
- time parser fallback in applyAction for stage-0 reminder matches
(extractor doesn't run on stage-0 decisions)
