The spare-key note scored 0.832 to 0.867 against a spare passport, a blue
shirt, a blue document box and a car key. Score and margin cannot separate
those: the right note runs 0.817 to 0.892 and the silent cases 0.787 to
0.874, so the ranges overlap and structure has to decide.
RecallAllowed now takes two structural facts from the router. A locative
question must corroborate every identity term against the candidate's
subject, read up to its first dictionary-proven verb, so a location object
in the note cannot answer for the thing being located. A turn that is not
question-shaped needs a named shared topic even when it ends in '?', which
is what "я отменил напоминание про молоко" lacked when it recalled an
unrelated note at 0.825 with no runner-up to fail the margin.
query_min_score moves 0.55 to 0.80 for tokenizer rev 2. The held-out
fixture answers 14/27 real recalls and 0/14 false ones.
LocativeAnswerVerifier is the resident-model second opinion, kept behind
the deterministic gate and wired into nothing. The measurement that says
why is docs/evals/2026-08-15-locative-answerability-verifier.md.

#496 asked to skip the veto when the question and the hit are in
different scripts, so an English question stops losing a Russian note.
Measured first: the fixture has no cross-language case, and en-hard-024
is an English question against an English note. Both proposed fixes are
no-ops.
What the veto actually does on the fixture, with the real embedder: it
costs en-hard-024 and buys ru-silent-029. Pass count is 22/32 either
way; false recall is 0/5 with it and 1/5 without. The two cases are one
lexical class, so no rule cheap enough for RecallAllowed separates them.
Accepts the loss and pins both sides in a test.

The score gate cannot separate the right note from an unrelated one: the
held-out fixture puts the right note at 0.791-0.890 and the must-be-silent cases
at 0.795-0.835, so a note about his slow network answered 'почему небо синее?'.
RecallAllowed adds a topic veto, and applies it only to a question that mentions
nothing of his. That restriction is the whole design: demanding a shared word of
every recall silenced four true recalls on the fixture to kill one false one,
because recall exists to find the note whose words he no longer remembers. A
question about his own life keeps the embedder as its only judge.
