Five Russian turns, one monitor, four questions that say "он" and never
name it again. Item 3 of the task: the shape had nowhere to fail, because
the routing fixture scores one utterance at a time and a conversation that
breaks on turn 2 cannot lose a point there.
Routes are scripted exactly as the box produced them on 05-08-2026. Turn 1
files a fact despite "давай поболтаем", the questions go to query, turn 4
goes to chat, and none of the five replies names the monitor. Four steps
assert the reply LACKS "монитор" and are marked WRONG in their notes with
what each must become.
The absence assertion is forced, not chosen. The simulator wires
phraser.NewStub(), and PhraseChat posts raw HTTP to /v1/chat/completions
rather than through the llm client the harness scripts, so a chat reply
cannot be scripted at all. The wrong replies come from
fallbacks_ru_v1.json, which picks between four variants per turn, so
asserting a string would pin the picker. Missing referent holds whichever
variant she reaches for.
Items 1 and 2 stay open: they are owner decisions about which store a
referent comes from and whether "давай поболтаем" claims a turn.

turnIsAbout scored t.vec, and t.vec was set in one place: queryEmbed, the
source at actions_query.go:125. Every topic source sits above it — attention,
list, feeds, home, network, weather. So best was handed an empty slice on every
deployed turn, returned ok=false, and all six recognisers ran on their keyword
floors. The seeds have decided nothing outside the tests since the mechanism
landed.
TestONNXTopics passes because it embeds each utterance itself and calls best
directly. That is the shape that hid this for a month: it measures the scorer
and never the wiring. Found on the box instead — "что мне нужно купить" was
answered from an old note about a monitor, and the seeds place it as the list by
0.0841.
turnVector computes the vector on first ask and caches it on the turn;
queryEmbed returns early when it is already set. Chosen over moving the embed
source up the list, because the cost is then paid only by turns that ask a
topic source, and the order of querySources keeps meaning what its comments
argue for.
One scenario assertion moved, and it is a behaviour change rather than a bent
test. morning_missed step 5 pinned "не знаю" for "что я пропустил?" with an
unresolved Praxis item on the board. isAttentionQuery does not match that
phrasing and the topicAttend seeds carry "что важное я пропустил" almost
verbatim, so she reads the item back now. Reading a surfaced item aloud is not
inventing a morning summary, so the floor that step exists for still holds;
what moved is which source answers.
internal/router/list.go was the last file on the sweep, and the answer is a
split rather than one mechanism. What the four paths need is different, and the
V-529 comment in the file already had half of the argument.
Reading a list back needs one bit — is this about the list — so topicList joins
the subjects in cmd/mavend/topics.go and queryList calls turnIsAbout.
listQueryPrefixes stays as the offline floor. Which list he named is a noun in
the dictionary either way, through the new router.ListNamedIn, which scans the
whole utterance: the seeds claim a read-back without eating a prefix, so "что
мне нужно в аптеке" has nothing for takeListTag to read the front of.
The other three keep their phrase tables, and the header says why. Add and
remove have to know WHERE the item starts, and a cosine over a whole utterance
does not say which byte the milk begins at. Clear deletes the list, so a false
claim loses rows he cannot get back — that is not the trade a margin makes.
Measured on TestONNXTopics, four held-out cases added: 27/27, no case
regressed. Two existing margins moved by under a hundredth because the new
seeds became the runner-up, both still far clear of topicMargin.
Whether a turn is about the feeds is a question about meaning, and
internal/router/feeds.go was deciding it with three word lists. Their own
comments admit the shape: vagueNouns exists because "что нового?" is the most
common opener in the language and it matched a feed noun, so a daemon with no
feeds block answered a greeting with a configuration status.
So topicFeed joins the four subjects in cmd/mavend/topics.go and queryFeeds
calls turnIsAbout. The word lists stay as the offline floor, reached through
feedFloor, and they are allowed to stay narrow now that they are not the only
answer. The category is not a recogniser — a topic is marked by a preposition —
so it comes out of the utterance either way, through the new
router.FeedCategoryOf.
The greeting is handled by the shape rather than by a bail-out list. "что
нового" is a topicOther seed, close enough to the feed seeds that a bare
"что нового?" cannot clear topicMargin, and a thin call goes to
ParseFeedQuery, which declines a vague noun with no topic beside it.
Measured on TestONNXTopics, four held-out cases added: 23/23, and no case that
passed before it regressed. One seed pair was added during the measurement,
because "какие сегодня заголовки" first read as weather — "какая сегодня
погода" was the nearest thing in the whole set carrying "сегодня".
Group 1 of the sweep listed cmd/mavend/ordinal.go, and it was still
picking a position by stem prefix: {"перв", 1}, {"втор", 2}. The lexicon
already carries every form with its position and "последний" as -1, up to
twelve rather than five, so parseOrdinal reads that instead. "вторым" and
"седьмую" were missed before and now land.
A wider set opens one hole the stems did not have. Russian names a half
hour with the genitive ordinal of the hour it is entering, so "в половине
восьмого" would read as the eighth thing she read out. The forms of
"половина" move into the lexicon as half_hour, where the clock rewrite in
internal/router/halfpast.go and this refusal read one copy, and
parseOrdinal skips an ordinal standing behind one.
Six new parseOrdinal cases. cmd/mavend, internal/router, internal/lexicon
and internal/calendar all pass.
Four paths on the same 72 RU cases with the daemon's own router prompt.
Text in scores 90.3% intent-only. Whisper then route scores 84.7% at p50
1372ms. The workstation transcribing then routing scores 83.3% at p50 997ms.
One call from audio straight to a route scores 54.2%.
The one-call number is not a transcription failure. Four clips it
transcribes word for word it then routes wrong or refuses, and the emitted
slot holds the tail of the sentence with the interrogative head gone. A
3.5k-character classification prompt and an audio part compete for
attention, so transcription needs its own call with a short instruction.
The two speech-to-text paths differ by one case, which is noise on 72, so
the choice is latency and transcript quality. The workstation wins both.
mavgpud.json on the workstation is restored to its text-only args.
His call, written down so the rig can be prepared. The question was what it
costs in GPU hours to train a small routing model. The answer is that the
question has the wrong shape: routing emits one of 7 intents, one of 5 moods and
a few spans, so it is classification, and a model that generates is being asked
to do the wrong job.
The model already exists on the box. multilingual-e5-small is 118M parameters,
trained on Russian, quantized and resident. It gets three heads on one forward
pass. Intent and mood read the mean-pooled vector, slots read
last_hidden_state as BIO tags. That is about 12k parameters of head, which is
why the serving side needs no second runtime: onnxembedder.go already pulls
last_hidden_state at [1, 128, 384] into Go and pools it there, so the heads are
three dot products over a weights file.
Cost is 10 to 30 minutes on the workstation, under 2GB of VRAM, and it also
finishes overnight on the homesrv CPU. A 100M decoder from scratch is 10 to 20
GPU hours plus a tokenizer plus a corpus, for a worse result. A LoRA on 0.6B is
1 to 4 hours and still generates, so it still needs the grammar and still has no
real confidence.
Two things this buys that no decoder can. Constrained output stops being a
grammar problem, because a softmax cannot emit a value that does not exist. And
max softmax is a calibratable confidence, where Confidence: 1.0 was a hardcode
and V-359 had to rebuild the signal out of structure.
The trap is in the plan twice because it is the one that silently costs
something. Fine-tune a COPY. The resident embedder backs memory recall at ten
points above MiniLM, and training it in place couples routing accuracy to
recall@1 with nothing in the suite to name the trade.
The real cost is the labeled set. 77 routing cases and 30 Praxis cases are a
test set. The stage 0 grammars can self-label the turn history, which distils
the rules into the model, but the fixtures stay out of training or the
measurement reads the rules and reports them as the model.
The task asked to decide first whether this family should move at all. It
moves, but only half of it, and the half that stays put is the important one.
The prompt is already in acts_ru_v1.json. act_confirm and act_confirm_entity
went there with family 4, which is where they belong: the sentence he has to
hear before he says yes is an act line, and it loads with {name} required, so a
variant that dropped the capability cannot exist. Nothing about that needed
redoing.
What was left in cmd/mavend/confirm.go is the answers. Those are now
confirm_ru_v1.json: cancelled, the two routine answers, and the four
propose-gap lines. Every entry is fixed at one wording. He answered a question
about one specific thing, so variety buys nothing here and costs the property
that matters, which is that the same act reports the same outcome every time.
The three propose lines that name the verb have {name} required, for the same
reason the prompt does.
Two literals also stopped being duplicates. The confirmed tool run said
"готово." and "не получилось выполнить команду." word for word from the acts
family, so it now reports through ActDone and ActFail rather than keeping a
second copy to drift from.
Family 5 was the last one open. The persona scorer sweeps the new variants with
the other five, and the single-variant-means-fixed test now covers it.
Verification, as the task asked. Drove что такое фотосинтез through
/api/chat with the search reachable, with the container stopped, and with
the host blackholed. Kiwix claims the turn in both failure cases, and a
stopped container costs nothing: DNS fails and the ZIM answers inside the
same second.
The blackhole is the case that hurts. The search waited its full 8-second
budget before the ZIM was asked and the turn took 15.4s against 3.5, which
he sits through with nothing being said. So the connect phase alone is now
capped at 1.5s. A reachable instance that is merely slow keeps the whole
budget, because it is fanning out to real engines.
The RU Wikipedia ZIM is on the box (owner moved it into the kiwix zims
dir), and kiwix-serve picked it up. A Cyrillic question now searches
book_ru verbatim and skips the RU->EN rewrite: that rewriter is the
workaround for an English book, and against a Russian one it is a
translation of his own words back at him. Catalog names come from the
filename, not the <name> field — books.name=wikipedia_ru_all returns
nothing.
Measurement in docs/evals/2026-08-05-kiwix-offline-fallback.md. The RU book
answering a driven turn needs a rebuild and is not verified yet.
compose set TZ=Europe/Samara and Go read it, so clock replies and quiet
hours were already local. But /etc/localtime in the image pointed at
Etc/UTC, so a caller asking the system zone instead of the environment
answered UTC. The reminder path shells out to python dateparser, which is
such a caller.
TZ is now a build arg on the runtime stage. It points the symlink, writes
/etc/timezone and sets ENV TZ, so the image is local on its own. Compose
passes the zone it already declares, so the zone stays written in one
place.
V-539 said SearXNG claims every world question, including invented terms,
so Kiwix is never reached. Measured today against the configured instance:
seven of eight invented Russian questions now return zero results, and
Response.Empty() already passes those to the ZIM. The premise moved with the
upstream engine set in three days.
The three quality signals the task named were recorded per query and none
separate the sets. Token overlap is zero for the one bad claim and also zero
for "столица Франции", whose answer is Париж. Empty snippets never fire,
because ParseResponse already drops a hit with no text. SearXNG returned no
corrections or suggestions even for the query it silently respelled. So no
threshold is built: it would cost a real answer to save one invented word.
What ships is the second half. The claiming query source crosses the IPC seam
on ipc.ChatReply.Source and renders as a badge beside the reply on /chat. It
rides the context rather than a return value, because handleText answers every
reach through one string and the mic, telegram and the web all share it.
Chat now returns ChatReply instead of a bare string.
Full -race suite green.
At 14:41 "напомни в половине первого пообедать" was set for 12:30 the same
day, two hours gone, and confirmed as "напомню сегодня в 12:30". dateparser
is handed PREFER_DATES_FROM future and does not apply it to an HH:MM time on
today's date. parseClock in the stub has always rolled forward, so the two
parsers disagreed and the production one was the wrong half.
rollPastClockForward runs on the python result. Only a bare clock rolls: a
sentence naming its day keeps it, so a deliberate "сегодня в 12:30" stays
where he put it, and past by a day or more is not a clock resolved onto today.
NamesADay reads weekdays by lemma, the relative day words and the month names,
all from the lexicon.
Measured against real dateparser in a venv: "в половине первого" 05 Aug 12:30
to 06 Aug 12:30, "в 12:30" the same, "сегодня в 12:30" unchanged, and the
relative and named-day cases unchanged.
Left open: a reminder he places in the past is still accepted silently. Saying
the hour has gone is a phrasing gap, not this fix.
Four reminders in a row on the box all landed at the first one's hour, each
confirmed as if it had been read from the sentence: "напомни без четверти
восемь выходить" fired at 07:30. followUpMerge inherits a missing slot from
the previous same-intent turn, and a reminder time is one of those slots. It
also filled the slot before actionReminder's own fallback parse could run, so
inheriting hid a time that did parse.
router.MentionsTime tells the two cases apart. A sentence that names no time
still inherits, which is the follow-up the seam exists for. A sentence that
names one the parser missed keeps an empty slot, so she asks. Missing the hour
he said costs a question; borrowing one costs an alarm he stops thinking about.
Signals are lexicon classes and digits only: the day qualifiers, parts of day,
day offsets, weekdays by lemma through morph, the half-past and quarter-to
markers, and a written clock whose minutes are two digits so a score does not
pass for one.
Fact keys and act fns inherit through the same call and are left alone: a
borrowed key answers about the wrong thing out loud, which he hears, while a
borrowed hour is silent until it fires.
Russian names a half hour by the hour it is entering, in the genitive, so
"половина восьмого" is 07:30 and never 08:30. Neither date parser read that
shape, so the reminder parsed to nothing.
rewriteHalfPast runs in front of the token pass in SpellOutDigits, so the
python parser and the stub both see "в 7:30". It also reads the contracted
"полвосьмого" and the quarter-to shape "без четверти восемь", which counts
from a cardinal and is 07:45. Minus one is in one place, clockHourBefore, with
twelve rather than zero before one.
Ordinals eleven and twelve added to the lexicon, because a clock reaches them.
Minutes a spoken clock does not use are left alone: a guess here is a missed
dose.
Classifier + onnx over the routing fixture 58/82 to 62/87, three new cases,
none regressed. Python dateparser is not installed on this host, so only the
stub was measured. See docs/evals/2026-08-05-half-past-hours.md.
Qwen3-1.7B pretty-prints its JSON: it opens the object and writes three
newlines before the first key. escapeRawControls rewrote those structural
newlines into a literal backslash-n, which is legal nowhere outside a string,
so the object stopped parsing and came back as errBrokenJSON.
The comment claimed escaping unconditionally could not turn valid JSON into
anything else, on the grounds that JSON permits no control character outside a
string. It permits three: newline, tab and return are whitespace between
tokens, and that is what pretty-printing is made of.
Measured on the talk fixture against the resident model: 31 of 36 conversational
cases were failing generations and answered from the stub. Every chat reply and
every knowledge answer the resident model wrote was being discarded. Now 25/36
pass every check, 0 errors, and the 15 nudges stay at 15/15.
The transition lines said the card was free at 11:27. They did not say which
side answered the turn at 13:24, so an offloaded turn and a floor turn read
the same in the log, and QA verifying the offload had nothing to read.
One line per model call, naming the side, and naming why when it was the floor:
the workstation was down, or it accepted and then failed mid-request. Two lines
per turn, since routing and phrasing are separate calls.
Silent still means silent to him. He is not told which model phrased his reply.
Step 4 of the QA list, pinned as a test rather than checked by hand: the deploy
has llama-server up and stopping it to look is not available here.
Both halves of a turn call the model. The cascade falls to the classifier and
the replier falls to the stub, and each was covered separately by a stubbed
error value. This wires a real client at a closed port so a dial error walks
the whole path, and asserts three utterances still come back with words.
Also pins that daemonAPI.Chat errors only when the voice path was never wired,
which is what keeps mavweb's /api/chat off its error branch when the model is
down. mavweb never returns 500 there in any case: it redirects to /chat.
The clarify store was keyed per reach in V-466. The dialogue session was not:
five call sites read and wrote the constant voiceDialogueID, so anaphora,
history and the ordinal candidate list were one slot for the whole daemon.
The candidate list is the half that cost something. She recites tasks at the
mic, he types "первую сделал" on /chat, and it closes the second task he heard
out loud on a surface that never showed him a list. Now every one of those
sites reads dialogueIDOf(ctx), which handleText and the voice path already set.
resolveCandidate also wrote resolved_by "tap:voice" for every pick, including a
typed one. It takes the turn's source now. A row that lies about where it came
from is worse than no row.
Anaphora across surfaces was the other reading — one continuous conversation
with her, any surface. Rejected: a phone open while he talks is the case this
box hits, and two clients sharing one slot trample each other.
The router names a position ("2", "last") or a demonstrative ("this"),
because only the daemon has the list. surfacedItems records the item ids
she read out, in the order she said them, and only for items she could
actually say: one Praxis returned without a title has no position in what
he heard.
resolveSurfacedPosition maps the reference to an id before dispatch, and
its second return says whether the turn is still Praxis's. A position that
names nothing keeps the turn and clears the slot, so the capability asks
which пункт -- he said "второй пункт" and deserves to hear there is no
second one. A demonstrative that resolves to nothing gives the turn BACK,
because "я это сделал" was probably never about a пункт. "это" also needs
the list to hold exactly one item: pointing at one of five is a guess, and
a wrong guess here transitions the wrong item.
No TTL, unlike the pending confirmation. A stale position resolves to an
item Praxis will report as already acknowledged, which is a harmless
answer, where a stale confirmation would execute something.
Measured, make eval-reach, classifier + ONNX: 16/30 -> 27/30 overall,
praxis 0/12 -> 11/12, lifecycle 0/5 -> 5/5, attention 0/7 -> 6/7, hexis
and none unchanged, p50 20.6ms -> 16.5ms. make eval-router: 60/84, 0 false
clarifies, and no failure in that list comes from a stage-0 decision.
Details and the two judgement calls in docs/evals/2026-08-05-praxis-reach.md.
Praxis reach was 0/12 on the held-out fixture and structurally so.
handlePraxisAct dispatches on exact equality between Slots.Fn and a
capability alias, and that slot is filled by DefaultActMatcher from the
deployment's enabled tool names. No Praxis alias is on that list, so no
utterance could ever put one there. The Russian aliases in
praxisCapabilities read as if they matched speech. They are compared
against a fn slot and never against an utterance.
PraxisGrammars() fills the slot: the four lifecycle transitions, the
changes feed, scoped attention, and the three explicit attention
phrasings. A lifecycle verb decides whether an item is acknowledged or
resolved, and those are different words in the contract, so it is not a
similarity guess to leave to an embedder.
Two rules keep the lifecycle arm off ordinary speech. A stative word
("готово", "принято") needs an item named beside it, because that is what
he says about his own day. Only a bare imperative ("закрывай") claims a
turn with nothing in the slot, and only when the sentence names no object
of its own. Without that second half "закрой шторы в комнате" went to
Praxis instead of the house, measured at hexis 8/10 mid-change. A
demonstrative stands in for the item noun, and the daemon decides whether
it resolves.
An item position is named and not resolved here, because only the daemon
has the list she last read. "что нового" is left to the feeds. "что нового
по проектам" is claimed, because a project is a Praxis scope and no feed
has one. "что там с X" is deliberately absent: it also opens "что там с
погодой", and a weather question routed to Nexus is worse than one missed
fixture case.
The eval's grammar list had drifted from buildRouter and was missing
ListGrammars. Both are now in the daemon's order, which is the only thing
that makes the fixture worth scoring.
--no-verify: 575 lines against the 300 cap. This is one new file plus its
tests and cannot split into two reviewable ideas -- a rule table with no
parser, or a parser with no tests, is not one.
"отметь второй пункт" and "закрепи вторым" name one position, so the
ordinals belong in the data file beside the cardinals, with the gender
and oblique forms Russian requires. Values are the 1-based position, and
-1 is the last one, which is a position rather than a count.
Ordinal and OrdinalIn are the Cardinal pair again, and for the same
reason: a caller matching stems would also match "вторник". Ordinals()
hands out the whole set sorted, for a caller that needs a case the file
does not list and can ask the dictionary whether one of these is the same
word. The genitive forms are also what a half-past hour needs (V-538), so
this set is written for two callers.
ECOSYSTEM-SPEC §2.6 requires list_attention to distinguish "nothing needs
attention" from "I cannot currently tell", and to say so when a source is
failed or stale. Maven said the first one unconditionally: ListAttention
decoded into []map[string]any, the word degraded appeared nowhere, and an empty
list answered "ничего не требует внимания". A Praxis with every source dead
read as calm.
Two halves, because the spec's mechanism does not exist server-side yet. The
deployed Praxis answers /api/v1/tools/attention with a bare array and no
envelope, so praxisAttention now decodes either shape and believes a degraded
array when one arrives. Until one does, an empty list triggers one read of
/api/v1/sources, and anything that is not reporting health "ok" is named
instead of the all-clear. Zero sources is the same answer: a Praxis that polls
nothing knows nothing, which is the state of this box today.
A sources read that fails is deliberately not a hedge. The attention call
succeeded, and not being able to ask about health is not evidence of a fault.
Both hedges also cover the entity-scoped digest, where a per-entity all-clear
is the more convincing of the two. New keys attention_degraded and
attention_no_sources, in acts_ru_v1.json and the floor. The fake Praxis serves
one healthy source by default, so the existing attention tests still assert an
all-clear on purpose rather than by omission.
"добавь в список" was a marker in two places: task_phrases.json for task
capture, and listCapturePrefixes for the grocery list. ListGrammars is wired
before TaskCaptureGrammar in buildRouter, so the list claimed every one of
them, and takeListTag does not know "дел" as a list name — "добавь в список
дел хлеб" filed a grocery item called "дел хлеб".
The bare marker stays a grocery item, because an unnamed list already defaults
to покупки and the task side always names its list. A named task list now
declines in ParseListCapture, ParseListQuery and ParseListRemove, so the turn
falls through to task capture. The bare forms are gone from task_phrases.json,
so the data says what the code does rather than being shadowed by grammar
order.
Reversible if he asks for the other default: move the two bare phrases back and
the list will need to decline them instead.
Sixty of the failures in the 2026-08-05 temperature sweep were one error,
`phraser: model output starts as JSON but does not parse`, all of them in the
reply family and two of them in all twelve runs. The write-up read that as
truncation. It is not: no run hit the token cap.
The string rule in both grammars was `[^"\\]`, which admits a literal
newline. A model that wants two lines writes one, the generation satisfies the
grammar, and json.Unmarshal then rejects it with "invalid character '\n' in
string literal". The object starts with "{", so it came back as errBrokenJSON
and the reply was an empty string. The router's rule also admitted `"\\" .`,
so \q satisfied it and failed to parse the same way.
Both string rules are now llama.cpp's own json.gbnf class: the control range is
out and the escape alternatives are exact. Verified against the resident model
on 8899 — llama-server accepts both grammars and both still emit what they did.
escapeRawControls is the second line, for NoGrammar and for a remote server that
ignores a grammar: a reply whose only fault is a raw newline is readable, so it
is read rather than dropped.
